In the West, here are my picks for the title contenders: Spurs Warriors Mavericks Rockets Thunder (Memphis is talented but not ready to compete for a championship IMO) In the East, here are my bets: Heat Cavaliers Bulls (I love how Rose is recovering, Gasol adjusting to the new environment...

I believe that they have been true contenders even before Rondo came to their roster. The Mavericks are the highest scoring team in the NBA and that goes to show how much talent this team has. The addition of Rondo however, has definitely made Dallas ah force to be feared in the west and in the...

Rondo was a nice find by the Boston Celtics. He helped the team win a lot of games especially when Garnet, Pierce and Allen were still around. It looked as though Rondo was the next big star of the Celtics that they would have for a loong time. But injuries marred Rondo recently. And though he...

Merely being in a championship team does not determine the greatness of a player. Leading a team to a championship is another story though. Like MJ for instance. He lead the Chicago Bulls to 6 NBA championships. It's always brought up whenever they talk about his greatness and compare him to...

Nah, I think it shouldn't be overturned. It was a costly mistake by the refs though but anybody could have made the same mistake that they did. If you would see, it took a couple of replays and frame by frame reviews to find out that they made a mistake. Still, the error is just a matter of...

Kobe. Lol! No way. Michael Jordan is the best NBA player, the GOAT. Yes, Lebron James has some very impressive numbers which would probably surpass MJ someday but Jordan has made basketball so much fun to watch. He made it watchable to those who don't even know how to dribble a basketball. It's...

My gawd, Derrick Rose! He's finally regaining his old form! His explosiveness is coming back and his shooting is finally improving and it's improving rapidly. He's already very confident when moving. He's very entertaining to watch. And with the resurgence of Butler and the solid contributions...

Kobe Bryant is one of the best basketball players ever. But he's old (in athlete years) and hasn't tried to change the way he plays the game. He still shoots too much. There's no problem if he makes most of his shots. But noooo... He's only making below 40% of his shots! He doesn't get his...

Kevin Durant was the NBAs MVP last season. His impeccable shooting skills and his ability to lead a team made him worthy of such award. Westbrook on the other hand is a very explosive point guard. He can also score at will and is pretty good at involving his teammates as well. Who do you think...

The spurs played awesome basketball last season and put "glam" basketball to shame in the NBA Finals. However, one thing that's been plaguing the Spurs is father time. Coach Pop needs to be mindful of the minutes that he allows Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili plays. They're an integral part in the...
