NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
Terry Porter was fired by the Suns and replaced by Alvin Gentry.
GM Steve Kerr has no clue. He took the very successful running offense that could not get it done in the playoffs and fired its architect in Mike D’Antoni.
Then Steve hired Terry Porter to bring in the Detroit Pistons defensive style of play. Huh? Same players completely opposite styles? Won’t work and it didn’t.
Porter was in the first year of a three-year, $6 million deal to replace Mike D’Antoni, who left after four …read more

So what, they lined up all the internationally born NBA players and raced and Pau Gasol was the eighth fastest?
No, more like he is the 8th fastest European to get to 10,000 points in the NBA.
Pau Gasol shows more of his offensive creativity, and against Utah he reached the 10,000-point plateau for his career. Dirk Nowitzki, Peja Stojakovic and Vlade Divac are the only other Europeans to get there after having come to the NBA directly from overseas.
Only 286 players overall in league history have scored 10,000 points, …read more

The Pistons were able to play defense on one guy.
Uhh, one guy?
Yeah, they held Dwight “Superman” Howard to eight points on 2 for 9 shooting with 5 turnovers.
Nice, what happened?
The Pistons lost to the Magic 103 – 85.
How could they lose?
They forgot to play defense on the other 4 guys.
“I am disappointed, (the players) are disappointed and the fans are disappointed,” coach Flip Saunders said after the Orlando Magic came into The Palace on Wednesday night and laid a 103-85 whipping on the Pistons. “We didn’t …read more

Mike Bibby will bring shooting and poise to the Hawks
On the surface, most fans are saying, “So what.”
Mike Bibby gets traded from one under .500 team to another under .500 team.
But there is more here than meets the eye.
In the Western Conference, to be under .500 is to be out of the playoff race. In the Eastern Conference, only 5 teams are above .500. That is right, only 5 teams.
Atlanta is still in it.
The Hawks played my Pistons the other night in …read more

Who?
The robbers.
What are you talking about?
Sometimes they steal something inside of you.
Like what?
Your pride, confidence, or self worth can be stolen. That leaves you with only two things to do.
What two things? How do you steal someone’s pride, confidence, or self worth?

What do you mean ‘No Love’?
Jefferson, that is Richard, not Thomas, and that is hoops, not Congress.
And that is 4 commas in one short sentence.
Which fits, because Jefferson is only 6′ 7″ and 225 pounds. Not exactly Shaq sized, but in today’s NBA and the emphasis on speed and gliding to the hoop, Richard Jefferson is doing just fine.
The whole key is his health. Now that Jefferson has it and Vince Carter on one side and Jason Kidd in the middle, there is no stopping him. The problems …read more
