NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
The quiet notes will take quick looks at what is going on in the NBA.
The top teams are:
(in no particular order)
San Antonio Spurs (now with Kurt Thomas) until proven otherwise in the playoffs
Detroit Pistons now with added youth
Boston Celtics with the 3 amigos
The hottest team:
Houston Rockets with an energized T-Mac and best center Yao
Biggest question?
Who will play better? Cleveland with Wallace or Chicago with Gooden?
As always, any NBA Basketball related comments are welcome.

Yao Ming – Houston wins 11th straight

How can this be?
It is a reach even for 7′ 6″ Yao Ming to win 11 in a row.
Tracy McGrady playing consistently good?
Houston even trades two players away, do not suit up the guy they get and still keep winning!
How can this be?
Well, admittedly, most of the teams they beat were pretty bad teams, but they did just knock off Chris Paul and the Hornets (sounds like a 60’s rock group) and there were a couple of close scrapes with the Cleveland PreWallace LeBrons led by …read more

Kobe is flat out a great scorer
The Bulls have got to be wondering what they were thinking.
Hold on to Luol Deng and pass on Kobe Bryant?
Luol Deng. Now how many votes for the All Star team did he get? Hmm, there was that one from his mother. And that one from his agent.
Oh well, Luol is going to be great, right? Right?
Kobe is great and has been since the day he stepped on the court.
GM Mitch Kupchak should get more credit for not pulling off any deals.

Can Kobe Bryant keep on smiling?
No Bynum, no problem.
Just let Kobe take over and take over he did.
Kobe put up 48 on the Seattle Supersonics and pulled the game out in OT.
Kevin Durant shot a horrible 6 for 26 for Seattle.
Final Score – Lakers 123 – Sonics 121
The Lakers were recently dealt a severe blow when young center Andrew Bynum, the player not named later in the Kobe to the Bulls non-trade, injured his knee.
The Lakers had to come right back and play on the road again the …read more

NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
We only have to look to Adrian Wojnarowski, Yahoo! Sports to tell us about the Top 5 most disappointing teams of the season and, to be sure, you have your favorites as well.
Your intrepid author’s illustrious comments are in italics.
We are the most disappointing. Oh no!
1. Houston – They discovered the truth about this team’s limitations. From Tracy McGrady’s mental and physical fragility to an absence of athleticism, they were a flawed power. They’re devoid of an identity, stuck between what they were with Van Gundy and what …read more
Bulls Skiles is fired

NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
You talking to me?
The Bulls are going no where in the NBA this season.
That means you have to blame someone.
They did. They fired the coach, Scott Skiles.
Oh, it was going to happen sometime anyway. Scotty is too fiery to last too long with any pro team. He probably should be coaching in college where a coach can really rule over the team.
When you have Scott’s attitude and your team begins to lose, you will begin to lose your team. It is part of the package in NBA Basketball.
You …read more

Jordan and Kobe, old Bull and future Bull?
Ok, ok, Lamar had a good night and the Lakers took down the Bulls. So what?
Lamar had 17 points and 16 rebounds. Good for him, no knock on Lamar.
But you know, nobody cares about that, because tomorrow Lamar goes back to being an undersized center or an inconsistent power forward.
You just want to know the latest Kobe rumor.
Hey, did you hear Kobe is going to…
Meanwhile, Kobe was slowed down a little.
Slowed by a groin injury, Bryant scored 18 points but was …read more
Chicago Bulls – what happened?

The Bulls are 1 – 5.
How can that be?
There are basically 5 reasons.
Oh, this is a joke right. The five reasons are the 5 starting players, right?
No, there are really 5 reasons and here they are.
1. Point guard play
Kirk Hinrich owns an assist-to-turnover ratio of just 2-1 and leads the Bulls in personal fouls. The fifth-year guard threw one pass Saturday night against the Raptors that a youth basketball coach would stop a practice to criticize, a one-handed, cross-court pass across his body.
“Offensively we aren’t sharp, and ultimately …read more
Bulls stuck behind Pistons even in victory

Rasheed to Ben – You need to do something about that lineup
Chicago finally got a victory and it was against arch rival Detroit 97 – 93. Last year Detroit eliminated Chicago from the playoffs and frankly, if the playoffs started today, they would do it again.
The key to victory in this game for Chicago was Tyrus Thomas and that can not be the Bulls modus operandi. Tyrus is not going to lead you through a 7 game series.
This game was not Wallace on Wallace as Ben plays a …read more
Kobe Bryant – No deal to Bulls

Ha! The rumors were flying and Kobe was to be a Bull.
Not going to happen.
That is, if you listen to Jon Paxson, GM of the Chicago Bulls.
“There’s not a deal done,” he said Thursday. “There’s not going to be a deal done.”
Paxson said they discussed “parameters,” but the sides “never got down to the nuts and bolts of it because there was never a deal to be done.”
Paxson’s comments came a day after a flurry of rumors. Speculation picked up Wednesday, with one report saying the Bulls, Kings …read more
