MVP MVP! Tony Parker??

I know one thing Lebron James is playing like a mad man. Well in that case so is Tony Parker all 20 pounds of him. We talked about Lebron last ten games. However, Parker's last ten games average out to be 27 points, 8.7 assist and shooting 61% from the floor. Isn't this Lebron like numbers and if so doesn't this place him in 2nd place for the MVP race?
What about the best point guard right now, Would you say Tony Parker or Chris Paul? This question is still hard to judge because I clearly see that Tony Parker has the better team but the better point guard is still yet to be determined. I can say that Chris Paul has the overall toughness over Tony Parker. However Tony Parker has the quickness over Chris Paul, has the basic fundamentals, perfectly sound going to the basket and just simply getting his teammates involved.
It will be extremely hard trying to stop the Spurs because they're looking for the open man and when you close out on the open man, you have to deal with the pressure Tony Parker is going to compel on you. He will run around the court until he gets his shot or get it down in the post to the best power forward In the league. Three out of four times Tim Duncan will finish at the rim, if not kick it to the top three-point shooters.
This team is so defensively sound. They can play man on man, active hands, slide their feet. The most surprising fact about this team is that they can run. They can get up and down the court; with Tony Parker the spurs easily get in to transition. Scoring off your miss, scoring off a steal, scoring off your missed opportunities.
So it comes to the point that you have to slow down Tony Parker, However he's one of the fastest point guards in the league.

OH! THE LOVE

Tonight's game has nothing to do with the standings, nothing to do with moving up a seat but for the heart of LA. Who is really the best in LA?
For the past couple of generations its been all Kobe Bean Bryant, and as for the lakers winning 7 of their last 10 games without a scoring eruption coming from Kobe. I believe we all know what to expect from the clippers, which is a massive amount of points, lobs and toughness.
The Lakers don't have clippers chemistry just yet or will they ever? Can the lakers be tough on both ends of the ball? Metta World Peace can't be the only player getting up close and personal with players. Dwight Howard has to own that color section called the paint in order to make any type of push moving forward and that's that. Whenever Pau comes back they have to get better not worst or its over for their season. Each laker need to take a page from Earl Clark's scoring and physical defensive ability.
I see the LAKERS stealing hearts tonight!!
Happy Valentines Day

IS IT TO LATE

I don't Kobe Bryant will ever admit defeat and because he didn't they're inching closer to the 8th. Maybe the rockets will give them a chance, maybe the jazz don't have what it takes, hopefully Portland just fall apart. Is this not what LA is hoping for?
Kobe Bryant already switched his tactics from the usual heavy dose of points to I got to get everyone involved to win. This is why Kobe Bryant is still the biggest threat in this league. Kobe Bryant's game will changes more then the channel, so how do you game plan for that? When you never know what you going to get.
Now LA is winning that's good but what's going on in the third quarters of those games? Is their a lineup adjustment that has to be made or what? Should lakers make a trade?
What's it going to take to say Kobe 6th is coming this year.

IT'S ABOUT TIME !! AND LAST??

The Baltimore Ravens have another tough AFC championship game. The only difference this year, it might be Ray Lewis last. After overcoming red hot Denver with 11 straight wins wasn't enough to shadow Lewis's 14 tackles.
Now the golden kid Tom Brady, is he more frightening to face then Ray Lewis?
This game is to close to even pick a winner. The Ravens offense is also lock and loaded, the question is what patriots defense is going to surface?

I'm not holding anything against Robert Griffin base on his last performance. This kid had maybe one of his best careers to come. RG3 is show time!
I believe if healthy in that game against that other stud Russell Wilson, the game might have been extremely different.
He's out of the race now however, you might not want to run into this playmaker at all next year.
I'm looking for Washington to putting more around him in the near future. I see free agents and players coming to the end of their contracts looking to be teammates with this new face and future of the NFL.

ELLIS AND THEN WADE?

ELLIS OR WADE?

I'm going to make this easy for everyone. Monta Ellis!
The last few games from Wade just been horrible to watch. He's blowing layups, dunks, it seem like the closer he gets to the basket the less affective he is.
Dwayne Wade needs to seriously think about getting a 3pt shot. The only thing going for this man is his defense, unless hes trying to be remember as a good defensive player he needs to delevope his game to scoring the basket. Monta Ellis is getting better as what it look like Wade falling apart.

WHO HAVE THEY PLAYED?

PLAYING BIG IN LA

I'm impressed but need to see more. I understand that this team is showtime, I understand that points come easy and in a hurry. Blake on the break is a for sure two points just as well as Lebron.
Its something I cant put my finger on to say, it isn't rings at the end of this streak.

WHO HAVE THEY PLAYED??

For the whole month of december they havent played anyone, the only game I've seen to be worthy of an applause was against the Rose-less bulls.The month of december was the greatest gift given to the Clippers. They also get a New Years gift because they don't play a quality playoff picture team until the January 2nd and that match up is fairly easy for Chris Paul and company.
The biggest thing with me and the Clippers is they have to beat somebody worth talking.

TO THE FINALS

THATS FINAL

The return of Steve Nash is what they needed regardless of how poor the defensive end was.It absolutely picked up when Nash put the whole team at a solid pace they where comfortable with. As of last night, im going to say this right now Pau Gasol isnt going anywhere.Kobe Bean Bryant can score 30 everynight at this pace, Steve Nash is making Metta World Peace a threat as he did with Shawn Marion. Dwight Howards moral is up so he going to pick up his points, rebounding, free throw percentage up.Meeks is just waiting to errupt.
This Laker team all year was just trying to figure out how to play and where guys best fit. Why wouldnt anyone in they right mind wouldnt believe their defense wasnt going to get better, they held a 102 point per game team to 94 points. They average 102.5 theirselves, do the math and thats a win every night of the week

                                                                                                                                                                         @SportsRusNYC

GOT A ROCKET FOR CHRISTMAS

26 points 5 rebs 6 assist on Christmas Night vs Bulls

FEAR THE BEARD !

10 first quarter points and the team feild goal percentage of 56.1% by the end of the game.

This Rocket is perpared for lift off. Houston is running the floor, pushing the rock, rebounding, around 40% from deep and putting up a whole lot of buckets.

It starts with James Harden, So if you shut him down problem sloved right? No!

Its to late this whole team in comfortable and is buying in and not taking no for an answer. J. Lin has picked up his scoring at a massive level while maintaining the court vision. Asik is playing perfect 20(points) 10(rebs) big man ball in a big way. Parsons major lift for being another dead on hot hand from the arc and running creating break opportunities for easier baskets. Morris getting the job done when his number is called on either side of the ball.

Its fairly early and theres plenty more to be said and done. How much better can the Rockets get?

TAKE AWAY THE PAINT SO THEY CANT WIN BY 3'S

LAKERS VS KNICKS

Is one of the best games of the night without watching the next three. Only because of with Steve Nash, remember this name.

Nash's vibe vibrated all over the court, small body frame but his presence was felt on every screen opening up Metta World Peace early. He had Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol in the right position at all times.

While Kobe Bryant just picks where on the floor he wants to shoot from.

Steve Nash gets plenty of criticism on how he brings nothing to the defensive end, because how in sync the offense was the defense came by second nature.

Lakers 100 Knicks 94

However the key was limiting the paint, easy lob passes and offensive put backs by Chandler. There is absolutely no answer for Anthony and Jr. Smith but to slow them down and weather the strom of raining three's.

The lakers play through that very well, didnt let that affect their game plan not even a lil bit and just play championship basketball. DEFENSE AND REBOUNDING 

Got to see more games like this coming from La La Land 

New Look Lakers???

Nash-Morris-Kobe-Gasol-Howard

Is this the best look against Knicks?? What does D'Antoni have in mind??

FRONT COURT OR BACK COURT???

CHRISTMAS IN BROOKLYN!

Can Deron Williams bring the gifts?

 Deron Williams need to step his level of play because of the struggle of late. Only shooting 39% from the floor, this just isnt gonna work and its gonna be the battle of the point.
I just see a boston team thats goona win games but no win it all at the end. they just need a lil bit more then what they have, maybe a point that can score and pass the rock.
Boston is really on their last and Brooklyn can only go but up. Joe Johnson is slowly becoming a threat and Blatche is playing well.
I dont see boston winning this Christmas.
ITS GOING TO BE A BLACK CHRISTMAS

Is it the Name or his Game?

Lebron James hasn't committed a foul in 5 games!

Is this good Defense or No Defense? 

Or is it because his name is the King, "KING JAMES" 

Is he above the whistle? I always thought when you at least have a foul you know who's playing defense and that player presence is felt on the court. Unfortunately Lebron James found a way to affect shots without putting a hand up, or forcing turnovers without getting his hands dirty.

But I'll tell you this. 

I'm not trying to hear this after Christmas then I know something.

Don't like it over there?!

I was watching the Philly game yesterday and I couldn't help but notice how unhappy Jason Richardson looks over there, Can the lakers land him?

HEAT OR THUNDER???

Lets be honest here is their really a wrong answer but somebody has to win though. Ill tell you this much OKC puts up more points per game, knocks down free throws at an higher percentage and out rebound the Heat offensively and defensively.

Is this enough to place all bets on the thunder??? will KD out play Lebron???

Im going to go with the Heat for this one because i think the thunder just lacks that toughness.

Im giving the heat a 10 point win

Wild Guess

Lets start off with Steve Nash is back and lead the Lakers to a victory, much needed victory to turn things around.
We all know it was a close game and Steven Nash might not be the answer to the defensive issues. However if this offense was thru the roof before his return then the other teams defense is about to have a problem too.
I live in New York but my favorite player is Kobe Bryant and today is christmas eve, which means the laker and knicks game is the number one game to watch.
we know Steve Nash cant graud Raymond Felton, however if Felton cant; im giving this game to the lakers.
