NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
There are some fans out there, along with many writers and coaches, that believe that Blake Griffin already has the ROY trophy sitting above his fireplace on the mantle proving what everyone thinks about him being a type of Patrick Ewing of the new age of the NBA.
Brandon Jennings is here to serve notice that he is one rookie that is just not going to lay down and allow Blake to walk off with the trophy.

Ben Wallace staring down an opponent
Basketball in Cleveland is LeBron James. But did you know that the Cavaliers have the 3rd highest payroll in the NBA?
No, you didn’t. How could you, the team is loaded with no names.
One of those no names would just prefer to stay that way. His name is Ben Wallace and he makes more money in salary than LeBron James by 100 grand. Don’t worry about James, though. He makes mega millions through endorsements.
Big Ben or Clock Tower, as …read more

Michael Curry will try to right the Piston ship
The NBA is proud to bring a brand new coach to your area. They did it for 8 teams.
Think about that. 8 new coaches.
Ever heard of a brand new coach immediately winning it all? It has probably happened, but not to my knowledge.
Usually you just fired the last coach because the team stunk so bad he could not make them win.
So this year we bring you the 8 trying to make …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

High flying Derrick Rose holds the keys to the draft mania, but where is the basketball?
Image details: UCLA v Memphis served by picapp.com

This is going to be one crazy draft.
First let’s set the table. The Western Conference finished as tight in the standings as a conference could. There were barely any games separating first place from 9th place. What does that mean? Wheeling and dealing will take place, because each team that finished behind the Lakers and Kobe Bryant thinks it will just …read more

Let’s back up and look at Doug Collins.
My early memories were of Doug playing for the 76er’s, swooping to the hole and making a layup or drilling jumper after jumper. He played on the great Dr. J’s teams. He averaged over 17 points a game for his career.
Doug also played on the Olympic team that the Russians beat after the ref’s kept giving them do over’s until they scored the winning basket. Ok, so that one still bothers me. You can’t let …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

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
