It’s a good time to be a sports fan in Atlanta.
The Falcons are looking good with rookie Matt Ryan at the helm, and the Hawks are surprisingly very good this season! (Not that they weren’t last season. They had started to show promising signs last season, but they were a very young team then.)
Even though [...]

Kobe vs. Jordan
Thursday, 19 June, 2008
Ok, I guess it’s time for me to weigh in on the whole “Kobe vs. MJ” thing:
I was never a huge fan of either player (meaning I only appreciated them from a completely neutral standpoint), so I guess my judgement could be considered rather objective.
We have to remember that Jordan always had Scottie Pippen playing [...]
NBA: Final Thoughts
Thursday, 19 June, 2008
I don’t think I’ve followed an NBA season as closely as I did this season.
I followed the league since opening week, checking up on scores on daily basis and stuff. I followed the playoffs closely, almost every series in each conference.
I would have to say this has been the NBA’s most succcessful season in at [...]
Lakers Are Impressing No One
Tuesday, 17 June, 2008
I’ve got a feeling the NBA Finals is more or less a foregone conclusion.
Ok, the Lakers managed to survive by the skin of their teeth today, but seriously, no one is impressed. You could tell that even the LA crowd wasn’t entirely convinced that the Lakers could close out the game until the very final [...]
The Kobe-MJ Comparison Can Finally Be Put To Rest
Sunday, 15 June, 2008
I’m totally loving this current huge debate on “Kobe vs MJ” on ESPN.com, in light of LA’s major collapse in Game 4 against the Celtics.
Ok, now it’s not so much a debate. It’s basically a “conclusion” that Kobe is, and has never been, comparable to MJ, cos MJ would never have performed the way Kobe [...]
Down
Friday, 30 May, 2008
Shucks, Spurs lost.
You won’t believe how down I am.
I guess one could be philosophical and say that they were well worn out by the Suns, and especially the Hornets series. Or you could say that this is an even year…and the Spurs don’t win on even years.
But you gotta give the Lakers their due credit. [...]
KG And Jump Shots
Tuesday, 27 May, 2008
Someone should start taking down statistics of how many percent of Kevin Garnett’s shots are jump shots.
Cos I happened to watch one (just one) game of the Celtics-Pistons series and I was amazed at how many times KG actually goes for the jump shot.
It’s incredible how someone as tall, quick, and athletic as KG can [...]
Sometimes You Wish You Were Living In America…
Monday, 26 May, 2008
What’s wrong with StarHub Cable TV?!?!
What’s the logic of showing every single Eastern Conference Final game and not a single Lakers-Spurs game?!?!?
This is logic I totally cannot understand!
Doesn’t anyone over at StarHub realise that the Lakers-Spurs series is the real NBA Finals?!?
This is just unbelievable. You really gotta question the programming sometimes.
Sorry, I’m just getting [...]
Bad Sports Weekend (For Me)
Sunday, 25 May, 2008
Pardon the himbotic rant, but sports happens to be one of my indulgences, and this was just a disappointing sports weekend for me.
Firstly, the Spurs failed to steal a game in LA so they’re down 2-0. The thing that irks me the most is that they could have well stolen Game 1 but they just [...]
Spurs Ain’t Getting No Love
Wednesday, 21 May, 2008
Man, words can’t describe how thrilled I was to see that the Spurs overcame the Hornets in this morning’s Game 7 in New Orleans.
This series against the Hornets was definitely a huge test. It was a war.
There were many times which I seriously thought the Hornets would win the series, especially [...]
