Watch Brad Miller's Buzzer Beater - Counted or Not?
The Denver Nuggets and the Chicago Bulls squared off yesterday. Having a tough fight, with 0.03 second left, the Bulls lead 90-89. But the Bulls still have a chance to win this game.
With the catch and shoot of Brad Miller, it turned a heart breaker for the Nuggets. But after the review of the referees, Miller's buzzer beater turned out to be a heart breaker for them, for they have thought that they won the game. With your bare eyes, observe and watch this video. Share your thoughts if he really did or didn't made the shot before the buzzer.
Based on my observation, Miller's buzzer should count. Try to pause the video bit by bit, and you'll notice that Brad did released the ball when the buzzer sounds. Seen at the court level and birds eye view, you'll be able to judge that Miller's shot should count.
However, the Nuggets take this game, improving their standing to 6 wins and 2 losses.

Iverson takes Indefinite Leave due to Personal Issues
Allen Iverson left the Grizzlies team Saturday (11/07/09) following a meeting with the team's owner and Coach Lionel Hollins after getting frustrated of his back-up role in the team.
Michael Heisley, owner of the Memphis Grizzlies team gave Allen Iverson the permission to skip the Grizzlies' game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Iverson had played off the bench in the previous two games after not playing for the first three because of hamstring injury.
Iverson once said, "I just want to win, I hate losing more than I like winning," Iverson said prior to Friday's game. "Its just a frustrating feeling losing. I've never been a loser in my career and I dont want to start now. I'm not trying to be selfish or anything like that, I just want to win."
"I understand star power, and that's to be expected," "I wouldn't mind even talking about Allen's star power if it was about the game and his performance during the game, versus what Allen has said and what he will or won't do," coach Hollins said regarding the issue.
source: NBA.com
Allen Iverson obviously is frustrated because of what is happening in his career. AI who was a former MVP, turned out to be a reserve player in his team. It only shows and proves that AI's glory days have already passed, as I've said in my previous blog (http://g4j7.blogspot.com/2009/11/ais-debut-making-lousy-statement.html). Hollins is aware of that, that's why he makes such actions, to blend AI in the line up according and not beyond to his role.
Seen in AI's latter years in his career, he may have played in his team well, but not efficiently. AI can't carry his team to victory anymore. Even if he has good company (as seen during his career at the Nuggets), it won't work. AI's position as a point guard (known as a first-pass type of player, sees opportunities for his teammates) does not fit to him. He plays more of driving into the hole. I appreciate that Hollins made Him to play off the bench. Not because he wants to degrade and not to maximize AI's ability, but he wants AI's skills to blend in the team.

Celtics and Nuggets Record remains Unblemished
Wednesday night (11/04/09), the Boston Celtics survived the "too close game upset" 92-90 against the T-Wolves to have a 6-0 while the Denver Nuggets blowout the Nets 122-94 to have 5-0 record. These two teams are the only teams remaining without a loss on the NBA. Both teams make a great impression on the league.
Two teams have started strong. Their team schedule is not the reason why they have come up with an unblemished record. Both teams have clashed with both competitive and bottom-list teams in the nba, but were still able to maintain a perfect win-lose record.
The Celtics' 6 wins credited from their games against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Charlotte Bobcats, Chicago Bulls, New Orleans Hornets, Philadelphia 76ers and the Minnesota Timberwolves. On the other hand, the Nuggets' managed to collect their 5 wins from Utah Jazz, Portland Trailblazers, Memphis Grizzlies, Indiana Pacers and New Jersey Nets.
The Denver Nuggets will have balanced schedule in their next 4 games and all of these will be on the road. They will be facing the Heat on Friday, the Hawks on Saturday, the Bulls on Tuesday and the Bucks on Wednesday.
While the Boston Celtics will face three competitive and a feeble team on their next 4-game schedule. They will be facing the Phoenix Suns on Friday at home, the New Jersey Nets on Saturday at the road, the Utah Jazz on Wednesday at home, and the Atlanta Hawks on Friday also at home.
Here are the videos of last games' highlights of both teams.

Phoenix stay Undefeated, defeated Heat
The Phoenix Suns stay undefeated as they put a loss mark on the Heat's record. The Suns won 104-96 against the Heat. The Suns now holds a record 4-0 to start smoothly this season.
The Phoenix Suns make a late push in the 4th quarter and be the first one to defeat the Heat this season. An unstoppable Steve Nash was showcased in the game leading the team with 30 points. He had a great moment in the 3rd quarter monopolizing the score of the Suns in the quarter.
With him in the Suns line up and a better chemistry of the team, the Suns will surely have a good record this season and a great opportunity to have their appearance once again in the play-offs.
The Suns are expected to play against Orlando Magic tomorrow.
Here is a highlight of their game against the Heat. Steve Nash dishing the ball to Amare Stoudemire for a slam.

AI's debut, making a lousy statement
Allen Iverson played his game debut with the Memphis Grizzlies against the Sacramento Kings yesterday. Fans expected that AI will contribute for the said "not-so-much" competitve team. But this didn't happened as they lose against the Kings 127-116.
Where is AI's presence in his game debut? He only contributed 11 points and 1 assist, making a lousy statement for his team. I believe, this is only a fact that AI's skills and glory days already passed by. This may be one of the reasons why teams are not taking a strong grip with him as a player in their team. His effectivity in the court obviously collapsed in his past career years.
Some may say, it is very early yet to conclude. He may only need some time to get his rhythm with his new team. But with an obvious perception with the game and his past career years, it may be an affirmation that AI's presence is not a factor for the Grizzlies.
If we recall the Nuggets-Pistons trade, trading Billups for AI. It was obviously seen how the Nuggets go up and the Pistons go down in the league's team standing. It was a great mistake for the Pistons, making their team's competitiveness to be on the bottom list.
AI may have started a great career, but now, with these obvious stats and analysis, he may have finished it rottenly.
Back in his game debut, Zach Randolph, OJ Mayo and Rudy Gay were the ones who lead their team. They scored 30, 22 and 21 points respectively. But the 48 points of Kevin Martin and the help with his company are too strong for them. Kevin Martin lead his team to defeat the Grizzlies.

Good Start for the Miami Heat
The Miami Heat have a good rhythm at the start of this season as they stay undefeated. The Heat defeated the Pacers and Knicks on the first two games of their season. Then, defeated the Bulls 95-87 as Dwayne Wade reached his 10,000th career point. This leads to team's good start having a 3-0 record.
One thing I observed during the Bulls-Heat game is the good team chemistry of the Miami Heat. Excellent ball rotation that creates scoring opportunities, drop pass inside the paint that leads to converted points, and spot up plays are some of the key plays of the Heat that leads to their success. With The maturity of Michael Beasley's game, the inside presence of Jermaine O'neal, the support of the Heat's 6th man Carlos Arroyo, and the consistency and athleticism of Dwayne Wade, the Heat will surely become one of the competitive teams in the East.
However, they should explore more of their team's chemistry. Their current performance is not an assurance that they will be as competitive as the top teams in the league such as the Lakers, Magic, Cavaliers, and the Celtics. But I believe that the Heat has a great possiblity to become one of the competitive teams in the league, having the two sophomores, Michael Beasley and Mario Chalmers, on the line up. But not yet for this season. They just need more time to explore their team's potential.
The Heat are expected to face the undefeated Suns this 3rd day of November.
Here is a video of Dwayne Wade's smooth drive into the paint during their game against the Bulls.

Kindly Rare to start the Season: 2 Consecutive Losses for the Cavs
The Cleveland Cavaliers have a rare start this season. With a lot of great expectation from the fans from their new roster, their first two games seems to negate these expectations.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have their first two games against the Boston Celtics and the Toronto Raptors. Too bad for the Cavs, they lost both games having a score of 95-89 against the Celts and 101-91 against the Raptors. Adjustments from the team chemistry may be the reason why such lost happened to the Cavs' team. Quite sad on the part of the Cavs' fans. But it is too early for them to mourn about their team. The Cavs would surely be able to bounce back from their line up.
With their next game vs Minnesota Timberwolves, the Cavs have a great chance to bounce back from their consecutive loses and a chance for their momentum to begin a winning streak.\
Here are the videos of their last 2 games' highlights.

Lakers... to win the next crown..
Which team do yo think will win the next crown? There are a lot of players that move to different rosters. Some of the key players that move to other rosters are Allen Iverson, Vince Carter, Hedo Torkuglu, Rasheed Wallace, Shaquille O'neal, and Ron Artest.
With several new rosters of the league, it is still strongly believed by a lot of fans and basketball analyst that the Los Angeles Lakers will get the nba championship crown. With a solid line up with Ron Artest, the Lakers will definitely have a great chance to meet the crown. No team in the west can match their team. Almost all of the competitive teams are east side. With this, it is predicted that the Lakers will have a smooth season and playoff in the West.
Finals will be a much competitive game for them. But still, the favor and advantage are still on their team's side.

NBA Premier Night - Houston vs. Portland Game Prediction
A quarter-final rematch between the last season's 4th seed portland trail blazers and 5th seed houston rockets is about to take place in the premier night of the nba. The rockets eliminated the blazers last season 4-2 in the western quarter-final match up. But with some changes in the line up, expectations and predictions on the game would greatly change.
Portland, still having a solid line up will surely be a threat for the Rockets, for their perfect chemistry on the court. Knowing that almost all the players of the Blazers plays their individual roles, the Rockets needs to balance their defense for every player on the court. Knowing that Ron Artest is out of the Rockets line up, Brandon Roy will surely create more opportunities on the court.
But having Trevor Ariza in, Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady back in the Rockets' line up, the team will surely have . The team will expect three point opportunities for the new Rockets player, Trevor Ariza, while the athleticism of T-mac will surely hurt Portland in the game. Post up plays from Yao Ming will also greatly contribute for the team.
But with the new chemistry of the Rockets line up, they will surely find time to adjust during the game. With this, the Blazers may take hold and win this game.

Vince Carter in, Torkuglo Out, Impact on Orlando
Vince Carter is now on the Orlando Magic's line up. But having him caused Hedo Torkuglu to be out of the team's business. What will be the advantages and disadvantages having Vince Carter in and Hedo Torkuglu out of the team's line up?
Vince Carter is a player who was once a key player of the toronto raptors and the new jersey nets. Known for his athleticism, he lead the said two teams. He made these teams to attain a playoff position during his early presence on both teams. But on the latter part of his stay, his team became incompetent in reaching a playoff spot.
The reason behind this is that Carter's athleticism and presence will only be very useful once he is accompanied or he accompanies some other key players in a particular team. With him in the Orlando Magic's line up, Carter will surely find his skills useful having Dwight Howard and Rashard Lewis as his teammate. They will surely have a good trio tandem on the Magic's line up.
But the sad part on having Carter on the Magic is the fact that the team released Hedo Torkuglu from their line up. Reviewing the past season of the Magic, Torkuglu contributed a major for the team to make the finals.
Having Carter, who is athletic and competitive player inside and outside the paint would be good, but having Torkuglu, who has a height and size advantage compared to Carter, also competitive inside and outside the paint, would be much better.
If the Magic would have given Torkuglu more time to stay in their line up, the team's chemistry may have strengthened further. But with a new Carter on the line up, team chemistry adjustments would be made by the said team.
But still, the Magic's line up is also a new thriller for the nba fans. Having Vince Carter on the line up will be create new excitement and expectations from the fans and from the team itself.
Here is a video of Dwight Howard's interview regarding his team with Vince Carter and wishful thinking that Hedo Torkuglu will be back to their line up.
Here is a video of some of the highlights in Vince Carter's career.

Lakers with Ron Artest
Ron Artest, known as one of the best defensive players in the nba is now a player of the defending champs, the Los Angeles Lakers. With Ron Artest on the line up, what would be his impact on the LAL team?
Reviewing the career history of Ron Artest, his glory days started when he was in the Indiana Pacers teaming up with Jermaine O'neal. He was named as the most defensive player in 2004. Eventually, he was traded to the Sacramento Kings. He was one of the key players why the Kings made to qualify in the playoffs in 2006. Just last season, he was traded to the Houston Rockets. Even without Tracy McGrady on the line up, Ron Artest was also one of the key players why the Rockets became one of the most competitive players in the nba during the said season.
Having this success in his career, it would be a great impact to have Ron Artest on the Los Angeles Lakers' line up and an enormous threat to other teams. Having Kobe Bryant and Ron Artest on the same line up, with other supporting players (Pau Gasol, Derek Fisher, Lamar Odom), the Los Angeles Lakers team will surely have a great chance to defend and capture once again the championship title.

Insights on Winnie Arboleda's Actions
Wynne Arboleda of the Burger King (BK) Whoppers has been suspended without pay for the rest of the 2009-2010 PBA season due to his unruly actions to a fan on their game last october 16, 2009.
During the second quarter of the Burger King Whooper vs. Smart-Gilas Pilipinas game, Arboleda attacked a fan named Alain Katigbak that resulted to a P2.7 million salary loss caused by his suspension.
PBA Commissioner Sonny Barrios said that Arboleda asked for his forgiveness when they met Monday morning.
Arboleda said to Barrios he was ready to face the consequences of his action that was prompted by Katigbak’s curses.
“I told him so unfortunately for us, Winnie in a situation where we are, walang acceptable reason once you cross the line of hurting fans, there’s no acceptable reason, and he accepts that fact,” Barrios told ABS-CBN News.
The PBA Commissioner, in addition, also addressed the league’s spectators: “We would like to encourage our fans to be more responsible when they watch games, let’s cheer not jeer.”
Looking upon this issue, Arboleda said that his actions was provoked by the incessant name-calling and cursing uttered by the said fan particularly to him each time he was within hearing distance. He can't completely be blamed about his actions. His emotions would not flare up if Katigbak would be responsible enough in watching his words during the game. Although it is very unprofessional for a Wynne to do such actions, it is very irresponsible also for a fan to directly criticize or insult a player.
In response to the issue, fans, as Barrios said, must be responsible enough when they watch such basketball games. Fans are there to support, not to degrade an opponent. On the other hand, players should be professional enough in controlling their emotions. As a player of national league's like PBA, he should be ready enough to face such circumstances like this.

10/27 Celtics-Cavaliers Game Prediction
The Celtics-Cavaliers match up is surely the most awaited game in the premier night of the nba season. Having Shaquille O'neal in the Cavaliers' line up and Rasheed Wallace in the Celtics' line up, fans would surely expect new thrillers and excitement in both teams.
The predicted first five line up for both teams would be Shaquille O'neal, Anderson Varejao, Lebron James, Delonte West and Mo Williams for the Cavaliers; Kevin Garnett, Rasheed Wallace, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Ranjo Rondo for the Celtics.
Having Rasheed Wallace, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce as a 3-point opportunity makers, Cavaliers will surely find hard time on stopping the outside offensive threats by the Celtics. But Cavaliers will surely dominate inside the paint on the offensive and defensive end. Kevin Garnett and Rasheed Wallace will find a hard time defending Lebron and Shaq as they help one another in creating scoring opportunities inside the paint. Having Ray Allen as a quick and clutch type of player, the Cavs will surely lose grip of their win against the Celtics, unless they match up Jamario Moon to Allen. Jamario Moon's quickness and length will surely help the Cavaliers flop the offensive strength of the Celtics.
This kind of match up will surely create a close and tough fight. But in the end, Lebron's leadership and Shaq's assistance will surely dominate the game.
Here is a review of last season's game of the two said teams.

Analyzing Shaquille O'neal - Cleveland Cavaliers
This year is a most awaited season for the Cleveland Cavaliers as they look to bounce back from the Eastern Finals-series defeat to gain the championship title for the first time in their franchise history. It take them a little closer to claim the title this season as they acquired Shaquille O'neal from the Phoenix Suns.
Though Shaq's dominance dwindled last season, it is still a great treat for other teams to have him in the Cavalier's line up. Defensive side of the Cavs will surely gain strength. Shaq's presence will fill in the defensive flaws of the existing big men of the team. On the offensive threat, Lebron James will gain more confidence in attacking the rim having Shaq inside the paint. Lebron-Shaq tandem would be a great threat inside the paint, knowing that Lebron is not only a scoring type of player but also a playmaker. He could create scoring opportunities for O'neal and even more for himself. Anthony Parker and the highflyer Jamario Moon would also give additional offensive threat for these players also knows how to create scoring opportunities inside and outside the paint.
Surely, this season would be a great possibility for the Cleveland Cavaliers to have their 1st title in the history of their franchise. Fans would surely earn excitement and expectation from the team this year.
