NBA Wild Season So Far



Well now that the NFL season is done besides the Pro Bowl it is time to turn our attention to the NBA season and some interesting things are happening right now. In the Eastern Conference you have the Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Orlando Magic as the cream of the crop. With only one team that can go to the finals it will be interesting to see these Big three slug it out. Another team to watch in the Eastern Conference is the Atlanta Hawks as they are much better than people give them credit for.



The Western Conference is just as interesting as well with the Los Angeles Lakers looking to be the cream of the crop. San Antonio and Denver are two other teams to watch as well. I do like the Lakers out west even without Bynum their center who maybe lost for some time. The Western conference does have a lot of teams that could get hot in the second half so you just never know anymore.

One of the biggest things that these teams will have to deal with is injuries. As the season goes along they will pile up so we will have to see what a difference it really makes down the stretch. I think it could impact several teams in a big way if they lose any players for a prolonged period of time.

Ray Allen Does It Again For Celtics



Ray Allen seems to live for these moments and he made another one last night for the highlight reel. Allen took a pass from Paul Pierce and hit a three pointer with 0.5 seconds left on the clock to give the Boston Celtics a 100-99 win over the 76ers. The Celtics were without Kevin Garnett, but they still were able to get their 12th straight win. The Celtics Big Three or Big Two last night again made the plays when they were needed and that is all that really matters and as long as they do they will be tough to unseat as NBA Champion.

Kobe Bryant Sets Record In New York



Kobe Bryant knows he will have to step up since Andrew Bynum is not available for awhile so what did he do last night drop 61 points on the New York Knicks. Bryant heard heckles, boos, and even some MVP chants as he help his Los Angeles Lakers to a 126-117 win over the New York Knicks. Bryant just help close the gap between him and Lebron James for MVP votes with this performance.

Jon Gruden, GM Allen Given The Boot



Jon Gruden and GM Bruce Allen had to know the writing was on the wall after a 9-3 collapse and no playoff for the Buccaneers this year. After a Super Bowl win a few years ago many people thought more would follow, but it never happen. Gruden could never find a quarterback that he like and that was one of his major problems no consistency at that spot. Other issues were also a problem for Gruden as well such as he was suppose to know offense real well, but the Buccaneers struggled in that department as well.

A few weeks back rumor was some of the players wanted to see him go so I guess that group go exactly what they wanted. it will be interesting to see who the Buccaneers hire to bring them back to where they want to be. They usually bring in a big name so it will be interesting to see who they do hire in the end.

Who's The Best In The NBA?



This is a question that it seems is always changing from week to week anymore. At one time we thought the Boston Celtics were the best, but they went on a losing streak. Than maybe the Lakers,Cavaliers, and who ever else might want to toss their had into the fire. After looking over all the teams I have come to just one conclusion and that is there is no one team that is so much better than anyone else.

Some weeks some teams play better than others, but right now I really cannot say one team stands way above every other one. In my mind I think we should wait to past judgement until later in the year that way we will better know who is playing their best basketball. It is just too early to make an opinion just yet.

Ravens vs Steelers A War This Weekend



If you are all about defense than you will want to catch the Baltimore Ravens as they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Championship game. Pittsburgh picked by many to go to the Super Bowl at the start of the season is not a surprise here, but the Ravens are. Everyone knew they would have a great defense and they do, but Joe Flacco has come on and made all the right decision when it counted and now he is just one game away from a Super Bowl.

This game may come down to who has the less turnovers. I see both defenses playing well and not a lot of points will be scored. It will be a fun game to watch and Sunday morning stop back and I will make my pick. (I have not decided yet who i like in this game.
