NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
Tim Duncan will once again have a team to write home about. There was serious talk that the Spurs had just grown too old and too complacent to be kings of the hill any more. Were they facing the same fate as the Pistons and heading into a slow destruction while still winning quite a few games, but not enough games?
It made for a very important off season for the San Antonio Spurs and future Hall of Famer Tim Duncan.
So how did the Spurs do? …read more

Look out Lakers.
Look out Celtics.
Look out Cavaliers.
Can we say Look out Nuggets? We are saying it. Look out Nuggets.
The Spurs are coming back with a vengeance.
First they picked up Richard Jefferson. They gave up Bruce Bowen, among others, but may get him back.
Jefferson will give them more scoring from the forward position.
Now there are rumors of talks with Rasheed Wallace to increase the front line size and Rasheed still has plenty of game left.
The draft may present them with the possibility of getting Taj Gibson, …read more

The masked man, Andrew Bogut, gets a lot of dough
Image details: Chicago Bulls v Milwaukee Bucks served by picapp.com
It is a big pile of money. Bigger than you will see in your lifetime of slaving at a regular job.
Andrew Bogut will sign a 5 year extension for 72 million bucks.
The signing should also silence critics who feel the team hasn’t shown a commitment to winning, Bauman said. The hiring of Scott Skiles as coach and the trade for Richard Jefferson demonstrated to Bogut that the …read more

NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
It was fitting that the Big Three of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen all had great games as Boston won again.
Kevin had 20 points and 11 boards.
Paul had 18 points and Ray had 16 points.
With this victory the Celtics matched the 1959-60 Champion Celtics for best start in franchise history.
Final Score Boston 86 – New Jersey 77.
The New Jersey nets just seemed to wear down in the fourth quarter as the Celtics got a lot of help from their bench throughout the game.
“We got down on …read more
Richard Jefferson healthy, but no Love

NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
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
