NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
The NBA Title series ain’t what it used to be, by 10% to be exact. Ratings were down 10 percent according to an AP article in ESPN.
At first blush that seems kind of bad for a series featuring Phil Jackson going for his 10th coaching title and Kobe Bryant trying to prove he can be a one man band, but it has to be kept in the context of being compared to last year’s dream matchup of the Celtics and Lakers.
Boston brought in Kevin Garnett and had …read more

But there is one guy that was ruled untouchable. That guy is 6′ 5″ Rodney Stuckey. Here is a point guard that can go to the hole at will. Here is …read more

Chauncey Billups cannot believe his hometown Nuggets did not want him
Hey, you had your chance and blew it. It is hard to believe that nobody in the NBA wanted Rasheed Wallace or Chauncey Billups.
It is difficult to fathom that no team could have improved themselves by dealing for Tayshaun Prince or Rip Hamilton. But that is exactly what happened.
Only Rodney Stuckey is untouchable. The rookie showed great promise in the playoffs last year.
Now Joe D says the deals are done. He is …read more

It seems like yesterday that my Piston won the world title, the Larry something trophy, in the NBA.
My friends were on a high that lasted a week.
Boston fans feel like that right now. You could sell little kid sippy cups with Boston Celtic logos on them and the fans would scoop them up by the hundreds.

Sam Posey or SAM missile. He just keeps burying 3’s.
Paul Pierce, not Kevin Garnett. It is the Paul Pierce series. Hey, Kevin is averaging a double double, but it does not matter. Paul Pierce is dominating.
Pierce had waited for his chance to be one of those generational Boston sports icons, and the Celtics had stopped surrounding him with …read more

Tim Donaghy is facing charges on gambling on NBA games. He just happens to be an NBA ref.
The league wanted a million bucks from him for costing the league money.
Tim fired back with allegations of the NBA fixing some playoff games, including the famous seven game series between the Lakers and Sacramento. The NBA and David Stern have denied the allegations.
If Tim Donaghy’s latest allegations are true, Kobe Bryant won his last championship with the help of an NBA conspiracy.
And Scot Pollard is still …read more
