NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
LeBron James put up 55 points on the hapless Milwaukee Bucks.
James scored 16 points in the first 2 minutes, 50 seconds of the third quarter, almost single-handedly turning a six-point halftime deficit into an eight-point Cavaliers lead – and he could have scored two more if he hadn’t missed a pair of free throws along the way.
James scored his previous season high of 52 points at New York on Feb. 4. His career high of 56 came at Toronto on March 20, 2005.

Peter Vescey has this to say about Michael Redd the long distance shooter.
An entrenched Bucks source does not believe Michael Redd will be traded this season.
“We need to make the playoffs this season to regain our fan base,” the source informed.
Yet the vultures continue to circle.
“Everyone is interested [Portland, San Antonio and Dallas, etc.], but their offers are pure [garbage],” said Deep Dish.

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

It had to happen sooner rather than later.
John Hammond has signed on to be the General Manager of the Milwaukee Bucks. John has been right there with Joe Dumars for 7 years. He is ready for his own team.
The Milwaukee Bucks have hired John Hammond as their new general manager, hoping the former Detroit vice president can bring some of the Pistons’ success to a team that hasn’t made the playoffs since 2001.
“He is a proven NBA talent who has played an essential role …read more

Dwight Howard has tremendous upside
Normally the All Star game is not a big ticket with your intrepid author.
A game with little or no defense has a hard time holding my interest.
In fact, today’s basketball with all the rule changes towards offense has really bothered me in recent years.
But this year may be an exception. The league is just so filled with exceptional talent.
One starter in particular could become a dominant force in the NBA sooner than we think. That man would be Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic.
Hmm, …read more

We only have to look to Adrian Wojnarowski, Yahoo! Sports to tell us about the Top 5 most disappointing teams of the season and, to be sure, you have your favorites as well.
Your intrepid author’s illustrious comments are in italics.
We are the most disappointing. Oh no!

1. Houston – They discovered the truth about this team’s limitations. From Tracy McGrady’s mental and physical fragility to an absence of athleticism, they were a flawed power. They’re devoid of an identity, stuck between what they were with Van Gundy and what …read more

Chauncey prefers to shoot not dunk
The Detroit Pistons won their ninth game in a row and did it in impressive fashion destroying the Milwaukee Bucks 114 to 69.
The Pistons suddenly aren’t content with simply beating teams; they are humiliating them. Here what was reported in the papers.
They made the Milwaukee Bucks look like a D-League team Monday, ending 2007 with a 114-69 romp before the 200th straight sellout crowd at The Palace.
“You get into a certain part of the season where things are getting comfortable for you and …read more

The return of James, your basketball author. Now the good and the bad. The good is that my most excellent boss and coworkers filled in quite nicely and that is most appreciated.
The bad is that James is diagnosed with Cancer and undergoing chemotherapy. Fear not, they say the cancer is one that is curable, so let us move forward with our dreams of basketball!

Yi is tall.
They list him at 7 foot and 238 pounds.
Got a chance to watch Yi play my Pistons. Yi was about all they had.

Surprise, surprise… guess who’s leading the Central early on?
Milwaukee.
Are they playing well? Meh. What’s happening is they’re taking advantage of an obscenely weak division right now. Everybody expected Chicago and Cleveland to do well and Detroit’s always in the mix. But the Bulls have fallen off, Cleveland’s playing ho-hum ball and Detroit is mere percentage points back.
Don’t get me wrong, the Bucks have earned the record they have now. They’re 6-0 at home and have knocked off the Lakers and Mavs, but the problem is they have no defensive identity. They’re in the middle of the …read more
