Marbury a Celt? N-O W-A-Y!

"It's speculation, I don't really have to think about it," said Ray Allen, Boston Celtics.

Honestly, I'm not even sure if he knows what he's saying. It's like welcoming the Celtics' downfall if this speculation comes true. I don't even want to think that someone had the guts to speculate regarding this incredibly troubling subject. Grrrhh!!

I like the Celts enough to stop me from getting really bored with their high stat in the association and pretty good comments from among critics. But if the speculations about New York Knicks' Stephon Marbury going over the Celts, I'd be exxxtremely disappointed. Anything that has something to do with Marbury is very very troubling given the problems he's caused to the poor Knicks.

Valley of The Stars, Yeah That's Right

Phoenix, Arizona, will be host to the upcoming 2009 NBA All-Star. I'm getting psyched about it! I have my All-Stars and here are the non-Spurs players I've already voted for:

Forward: WEST >> Pau Gasol(LAL), Carmelo Anthony(DEN); EAST >> Kevin Garnett(BOS), LeBron James(CLE)
Guard: WEST >> Chauncey Billups(DEN), Chris Paul(NOH); EAST >> Dwayne Wade(MIA), Vince Carter(NJN), Gilbert Arenas(WAS)
Center: WEST >> Marcus Camby(LAC); EAST >> Dwight Howard(ORL)

There are only 17 days left to vote. So, start voting your favorite All-Stars now. Oh, there are no Suns [PHX] on my list yet. Well, I still have time to vote haven't I. I'd definitely want to see Steve Nash play for the West. GO WEST!

A very Happy New Year to All!!..

Unsung Hero

The rivalry between the Phoenix Suns and the San Antonio Spurs is undeniable. The neck-and-neck game between the two was proven too much for Roger Mason, who brought the Spurs victory against the Suns. Apart from the Suns, there's also the Memphis Grizzlies that the Spurs ought to worry about particularly the guy named Rudy Gay. So, what's the Gay-solution that Spurs' coach Gregg Popovich applied? Have Bruce Bowen tail Gay and it worked in the favor of the Spurs, beating off the Grizzlies, 106-103, in a double-overtime game.

Tony Parker led the Spurs with 32 pts, five assists. And despite missing the remaining 1:13 minutes of the game with 6 fouls, Tim Duncan dished out 29 pts and five rebounds. Manu Ginobili meanwhile had his low profile night with 20 pts. The Spurs' BIG 3 is pulling off games the way they should. But there's another player wearing grey and white jersey that deserves almost the same credit as the Spurs' BIG 3 gets and that's Bowen.

The perimeter defender of the Spurs took charge of Gay and limited him with 5-to-18 shooting. “A lot of times, I start out off them, then I end up on them, and they don't know what's going on. I more or less give them a different diet of things and slide my feet. They try to feel my body, and I'm nowhere to be felt,” said Bowen. Knowing the damage that the Grizzlies' ace player can do, Pop knows that Bowen can do the lock-down defense he's good at while the rest finish the game off. Gay finished with 13 pts and 11 boards. O.J. Mayo, the Grizzly rookie, took 29 pts along with Marc Gasol's 15 pts, 10 rebounds, and four blocks.

With Parker and Bowen providing more pressure on the ball, the Spurs forced several missed shots and turnovers and start chipping away at the Memphis lead.

Missing A Lot

Whoa, it's been what? A month since I posted my last blog post. Can't believe I've been missing a lot of games lately. And that's mostly because I've been sleeping a lot due to my work. [sigh] Oh well, I'm literally back that's what's most important.
