NBA Blog

Hi, I’m back again from blogging. In the past few days I was busy on my new school, http://www.gibbsmelville.edu/. And now I have time to blog again about the latest happenings and news in the NBA. No doubt that Orlando Magic is now one of the dominated team in the league right now. They have 13 wins with only 3 loss which is by far their one of the best start of the season. Although they need to prove more on their clutch shooting and late game defense. With coach Stan Van Gundy guiding them at the sideline there is a big chance that they will face Boston Celtics at the NBA Eastern Conference Championship.

What makes the Orlando Magic became this successful this season? First I would like to credit Stan Van Gundy’s leadership. I really believe that it’s him that really get the whole team to be as one. Second, Dwight Howard inside presence. Dwight Howard is averaging 23.4ppg, 14.5 rebounds per game, and 2.5 blocks per game. Who else helps the Magic this season? I’ll vote for Hedo Turkoglu. I saw him made lot of clutch basket in their past game that help them win. The most outstanding game he played when they handle Boston’s first loss with his clutch shooting.

Orlando Magic is on the rise. I’ll keep an eye on this team and I think they can even reached the NBA Finals.

I was watching the MLB PLayoffs last year when I’ve decided to change the channel. And good thing that I change the channel because I did have the chance to watch another classic ball game, Orlando Magic vs Boston Celtics. After an impressive 8-0 win-loss record, Boston finally taste their first defeats in the hands of Orlando Magic. Orlando Magic leads the somewhere in the game by 20 points. But this does not stay long because Boston Celtics trio (Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett) take over the game and cut the lead into 2. But Hedo Turkoglu didn’t allow Boston to come closer than that. He hit 2 highlight-reel 3 point shot. With few seconds left, Boston had the chance to tie the game or win. But they didn’t convert and they taste their first loss.

Orlando is showing some poised since the start of the league.  And right now they have 9-2 win-loss record and they’re now the Southeast Division leader. It’s a good start for Orlando Magic. I think to be able to atleast reached the NBA Finals they have to show some good defense. They have all the offensive weapons that a championship caliber team should have. In order to win a championship in the NBA, you should win through your defense. This is what past champions made of.

First I would like to give a quick heads up for my readers that my traffic is increasing and I’m on top 5 on MSN live search for the keywords “NBA Blog”. And second, I have a cold now and I need some Vaporizers to help me in my breathing to be able to continue with my work today. Too much for that, I will give a quick recap on what happen to the league. Boston Celtics still leads the league with 6-0 win loss record. San Antonio hanging tough in 2nd place with a 6-1 win loss record. But I don’t think it will stay that long because San Antonio will face Dallas Mavericks today as they square off in Texas match-up.

Surprisingly, New Orleans Hornets won 7 out of 9 games. And they’re now threatening to become a playoff contender this season. But in order to obtain this they will have to stay healthy, especially Peja Stojacovic and Tyson Chandler. Because this two key players of New Orleans Hornets are prone of injury based on their career history over the last 5 years. We have to look out for this. Utah Jazz starts hot and pick up what they left off last NBA Playoffs. Carlos Boozer leads the pack and Deron Williams provides some clutch shooting. Andrei Kirilenko always there to defend and block shots, Mehmet Okur provides inside defense, and they have a new guy that they can rely on the shooting guard spot, Brewer.

The league is now more balanced and you cannot predict on who will win this years NBA ring. Let’s see in few months if the trend will still continue, if New Orleans can make it to the playoffs, and Utah, San Antonio, and Dallas will be the power in the west.

NBA Season 2007-2008 has started and there’s nothing usual with the outcome of the games played. Teams with high profile roster wins. Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs tops the west and Boston Celtics (with the big three on it’s lineup Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett) and Detroit Pistons tops the east. Boston is proving to everybody that they’re now the new powerhouse in the west not just in papers but also in games. Houston Rockets, is off to another good start. But how long they will stay this hot. Tracy McGrady is playing just like the old days when he single-handedly carried his team on his back and Yao Ming is still keep on improving on his offensive plays. I’ll be out of the country to visit Moscow, and I will be missing live NBA games. But good thing that I have subscribed to a Internet TV website to watch NBA games.

Yao Ming is averaging 24.0 ppg and 10.40 games while Tracy Mcgrady is averaging 27.3 ppg, 5.9 rpg, and 5.7apg and Houston Rockets current win-loss record is 6-1. They managed to beat their rival in Texas, San Antonio Spurs but their  only lost this season is came from Dallas Maverics. In Eastern Conference, Boston is dominating the league by winning 5 games without a loss. Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett, and Paul Pierce the new big three is now threatening to be the new Eastern Conference champion atleast. Detroit Pistons is also impressive this season. Rip Hamilton, Rasheed Wallace, and Chauncey Billups is playing really well and back on their championship caliber shape.
