NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
This is not a prediction post by NBAObsessed. That is my upfront disclaimer. This is news from the Los Angeles DailyNews. They have actually mentioned 37 ways that the Lakers will be Champions of the NBA again.
Here are my top 10 from the list:
12. George Karl still coaches the Denver Nuggets.
Don’t get me started on George Karl, but he is a big disappointment as a pro coach. Maybe he did well last year or maybe he just needed Chauncey Billups.
15. Yao Ming … MIA.
With Yao out, Houston is …read more

Sometimes the NBA can take on a whimsical tone with events going beyond reality causing what we know to be totally false. How else can you explain the sudden disappearance of the volatile aggressive Ron Artest that we all have come to know and love? Still, that is what has happened in La La Laker land, where the milk and honey flow in the form of Kobe Bryant, Phil Jackson, and a roof of championship banners.
Ron Artest signed a long term contract for 34 million bucks …read more

Phil Jackson is the best coach in the game today.
You want proof. 10 NBA Titles.
Big deal, you say? How about 10 out of the last 19? Now that is incredible.
With this last title, Phil Jackson has become the NBA coach with the most NBA titles passing Red Auerbach of the Boston Celtics and Phil did it in the age of the free agent.
Those are staggering statistics, especially in this era of free agency, expansion and the salary cap.
Still, there will always be some – …read more

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

Why do you doubt this guy year after year, thinking he can’t coach his way out of a paper box unless he has a superstar box cutter on his team. That is the excuse you have used for years. Oh, Phil, he has that superstar player, that is why he wins.
The only problem with that argument is the other coach, the one coaching the team Phil is beating, also has a superstar player on his team and he is losing. Meanwhile, Phil just keeps on …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

Boston Celtics rule the world or at least the NBA World.
Paul Pierce is MVP and played fantastic.
Kevin Garnett reminds us that anything is possible.
Defense rules and the Lakers better get one.
Redlasso gives us this video from after the final seconds.

Kevin Garnett was so emotional that he was crying one moment and shouting out the next moment. Boston absolutely dominated the last game of the series.
As always, any NBA Basketball related comments are welcome.

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

The Lakers are done. They had a 24 point lead in the second quarter over the Boston Celtics.
Even in the 3rd quarter the Celtics were down 20 points.
Then the Lakers stopped scoring.
What was it? It was Celtic defense and Paul Pierce scoring.
It didn’t help that Kobe was being locked down by Pierce. Kobe just could not get his …read more
