Dallas Mavericks

Today we have the Dallas Mavericks. They are currently 52-21 and third in the Western Confrence. They started off real hot and then they slowely simmered down. But they are starting to pick it up here in the home stretch of the year. The regular season is coming to a close and they want to finish at least second, but they are still pushing for first. Of coarse the star is Dirk Nowitzki shooting the three, taking it the hole, and having that easy jumper over a defender. He is a good solid guy to base a team around and he is a player you can count on getting his 25 points a night at minimum. Then they got Jason Terry knocking down tons of three's, they just aquired Corey Brewer who shoots a three and a jumper woth ease, and then there is Brendan Haywood who is dominant in the paint and creates open looks for others. They just locked in their playoff birth and will get to have their chance at a run at the Finals. You never know they could GO...ALL...THE...WAAAYYY!!!! But if I were the coach I'd start resting Dirk and Haywood so they are fresh and not dragging in the playoffs. Which I am sure will happen in the next few games. Trust me people, they will have their chance and will fight to the death for their spot in the NBA Finals. Join me next time when i discuss the Chicago Bulls!!

WEDNESDAY MATCH UP!!

WEDNESDAY MATCH UP!!

VS.

Starting this Wednesday and every Wednesday to come there will be a WEDNESDAY MATCH UP!! I'll randomly select 2 teams and based on stats and current player status I'll determine a winner between them.

This week we have the Memphis Grizzlies and the New York Knicks. First off the Grizzlies have a better record at the moment. They are ahead of the knicks by 3 games. Carmelo Anthony just joined the Knicks so that gives them a better jumper and more three point shooting. Plus, Amare is dominating the paint in every game no matter what the outcome. Also, the knicks are averaging 106 points a game while the Grizzlies are averaging 100. As far as the Grizzlies, they just aquired Shane Battier from the Rockets, which will bring more offense to them. And they got Mike Conley at point and knocking down the trey, and then O.J. Mayo in the paint and getting tons of dunks and doing great on defense. Speaking of defense Marc Gasol is averaging 1.58 blocks a game. So right now if they were to play it would be real close. It might even come down to a final shot. And because of that i got to give it to the Knicks because Amare or Melo are known tio knock down those game winning shots. And the winner is.....THE NEW YORK KNICKS!!!!! They win 110 to 107, with Melo knocking down a game winning three to bring the crowd to their feet ( OOOOOO melo suunnkk the three!!! says the crowd). Just remember a good offense beats a great defense. Maybe next time Memphis!

Orlando Magic

Well today I will be discussing the Oraldo Magic. They have a 45-26 record and are 2nd in the Southestern division and 4th in the Eastern Confrence. They are locked into the playoffs with the win over Cleveland. First off, they are solid at the post because look at who the have...DWIGHT HOWARD...aka SUPERMAN!! He rarely lets down the team with an off night. Then of coarse they have Gilbert Arenas, Brandon Bass, and Jameer Nelson who can all hit up a three in a clutch time position. Then there is Hedo Turkoglu and Quentin Richardson who are two good, realiable forwards that can not only shoot the three, but can take it to the hole. Then again the Magic are definitely not the strongest team in the East nor in the NBA. But they'll have a shot at it, but it's not likely that they'll go far. Possibly the first round and thats it. They are a one and done team, but a good one and done team. If they make the proper adjustments then they'll have a better chance next year, but as for this year....just stay strong and do your best. There are too many other dominant teams that will beat them in the playoffs. Sorry Orlando but that's just how it is.

San Antonio Spurs

Today's tream is the San Antonio Spurs. They are 51-12 at the moment, and they are first in the western confrence and number one overall in the NBA. There arn't many more improvements that they could possibly make, but one thing they seem to be doing is when a good team takes a lead bigger than 10 they get frustrated and don't focus on their situation at hand. A perfect example is against the Lakers. They took the lead by 12 and then the Spurs just got upset and comitted a foul everytime they had a chance. They dominate the whole NBA and they need to realize that they'll struggle every now-and-then, and they need to strive through that one tough game to prove that they are number one and no one can bring them down. That is what will prove that they are an elite team and that they will win when they need to. They are definitely in the playoffs and 2 easy rounds, but then will come the Western Confrence Finals and the NBA Finals. They'll be the favorite in the playoffs and everyone will enjoy to see them play.

Los Angeles Lakers

Lakers Championship Celebration By. mstickmanp

Today's post is about the Los Angeles Lakers. This season they are 43-19. And they are also locked in for the playoffs. Now this year more than ever, they have had to depend on Kobe. He has been their opener and their closer. Gasol, Fisher, Bynum, and Odum have not helped out as much as expected and needed. They can only win off of Kobe for so long then they'll start to deminish. And by they I mean Kobe. The other starters need to step up and play their roll and give their talents to benifit the team. The season is coming to an end and that means playoffs. Of coarse they are in but they wont last if they still only score with Kobe. Fisher needs to sink more three's, Gasol needs to dominate in the paint and not be afraid of the little jumper, Bynum needs to get those easy dunks and lay- ins, and Odum needs to drain those jumpers and take a three once in a while. They used to have all their talents working together and flowing at one time, but now they have fallen apart and become a worse team than they ever expected. Basically, they need to rest Kobe and the others need to step up and do their job efficiently. If they do that soon then they'll be a real good contender in the West. And even a potential threat to make the finals.

Boston Celtics

The Big 3 at Trget Center By. jpellgen

Today's new post is on the Boston Celtics. They are currentlly 44-15. They are great in the pain and with Ray Allen with a solid 3 point shooter, Paul Pierce with a good mid range jumper and defense capability, and with Kevin Garrnet under the hoop and wonderful defense. They are first in the Eastern confrence and second in the whole NBA. They have played trhe Heat 3 times in the regular seasin this year and they seem to beat them eachtime. And that's not the only dominate team they can beat. They have beat the Lakers more than once and they have crushed the Thunder. They are in the playoffs and with a easy first and second round. The challenge will be in the third round at the Eastern Confrence Finals which I'm confident they'll be playing the Heat. And if they pas the Heat they'llcbe in a battle with either the Lakers or Spurs. Now that they are closing in on the last home stretch of the season they should start resting the big three and let them gain more energy and explosivness. All in all they are a great team and are a contender for the finals and have a bright future.
