NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
Tim Duncan has had an incredible career filled with winning that dates back to the David Robinson era. As Robinson grew older he was paired with Duncan to make a twin towers that dominated the court.
Now the time for Tim Duncan is growing short and he knows it. San Antonio’s management also knows it, so they took a desperate gamble.
The original thinking was to find a Super Star player in the up and coming free agency of 2010. Every team in the league wants to …read more

The answer to “Who is better than Joe Dumars?”, is in my opinion, nobody. But then some would say that nobody is me and that would make me better than Joe, which is not true, so Joe Dumars is the best. Ok, just messing with you, but the The Ball don’t Lie has a great article on the 10 best GMs in the last decade.
They did not pick Joe Dumars as number 1.
So lets step through some of the highlights.
How about Pat Riley at number 8. He built a team in his image, always ready, always tough. …read more

ESPN does this thing where they get together a bunch of basketball experts that vote on the NBA conference teams to see who will end up in the NBA title game.
Well, this was a tough vote. The Los Angeles Lakers won in a landslide. Geez that is hardly news. The champs added Ron Artest to the lineup and resigned Lamar Odom and those two are just bit players on that team. You have to recognize that the Lakers are Kobe Bryant’s team first last …read more

And the winner is…
But first a word from our sponsor…You! Hey, you, click on some of those ads off to the side and keep this blog a rolling. Rolling, Rolling, Rolling.
Now back to Billie Crystal as he announces the best player pickup in the off season…
Drum roll ta ta ta ta tata.

Come on up Richard.
Congratulations and guess why you were number 1?
Jefferson (14 votes)
The first big move of the offseason will prove to be the best move, more than one-quarter …read more

You sometimes wonder how management holds it together in the off season with players having time and money on their hands and using both to do who knows what. In Tony Parker’s case he is playing basketball and isn’t that what he is supposed to be doing?
Well, maybe or maybe not.
Tony has been playing for the French National team in a 3 team qualifier for the European Championships. That is not exactly just working out getting ready for the new season. Parker always plays games …read more

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

Manu Ginobili is out. There is nothing the Spurs can do about that and it is a hard loss to take. Manu is often the X-factor that spells doom for the other teams. If they bully Parker and double Duncan then Manu kills them with his outside game or slashes to the basket for repeated layups.
Now the Spurs have faced injured players before and if that was all there was then they would not be so worried. Sure the Lakers are the odds on …read more

The Houston Rockets took a half game lead in the Southwest Division and a two game lead in the win column over the San Antonio Spurs.
Houston 87 San Antonio 85
Ok, tell the truth, when asked about the Spurs, Rockets, Hornets, and Mavericks going into this season, just how much time did you spend bragging up the Rockets? Tell the truth.
There might not have been a better way to move past the Spurs and into first place in the division, than the Rockets found on Sunday, running two …read more
