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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Rasheed – always laughing, yet always intense
Rasheed is never timid with an opinion.
He is also never had a problem being controversial or confrontational.
Wallace is also a big reason at 6′ 11″ as to why the Pistons are big winners every year.
“Hey Rasheed, will the Pistons win the East?”
Rasheed answers.
“All those teams made changes to try and get with us — Boston, Chicago — all those teams are trying to catch up with us. I am not worried about what they do. I am confident here with this camp.” …read more
