4- ARBITRATION - Few teams are so favored by the arbitration and while in the same time with both claim to arbitration. It is those things that only the name can do for you. Rasheed Wallace can say good night to the officer and he will be expelled, after all he already has a bad reputation. But Duncan can do his "Nothing Face" and complain for all the fouls marked on him for the whole time and nothing happens.

Someone already saw Duncan having a technical foul? When he took and was expelled, it turned Global Issue and the responsible officer was suspended. Ok, ok, I know that the old man who took off Duncan from the game was too old and probably was using drugs, but if he had took off Rasheed in the same circumstances, nobody would have even noticed! They would say "Oh, Rasheed must be done by merit."

Today (May 2nd) we have 3 games, all of them with 3-2 in the series.

CLEVELAND 3 @ 2 WASHINGTON - 7:00 PM

BOSTON 3 @ 2 ATLANTA - 8:00 PM

HOUSTON 2 @ 3 UTAH - 10:30 PM

Wich of this games the series are going to finish today (4-2)?

Are Atlanta, Washington or Houston going to win it and have a GAME 7?

I think Washington and Atlanta are going to win, but Houston will loose.

What do you think?

3- ROBERT HORRY - He's in the team for whatever the Spurs need. Horry is the guy who does the dirty job for the San Antonio. Instead of the function to make the Pick'n Roll and get some rebounds, he's mission is throw Nash outside the court that is as dirty as possible.

It is a little simplistic not consider each small event in each of the games between Suns and Spurs as a result of factors, but we can say without too much difficulty that this push from Horry decided once and for all that series of playoffs.That is, their fame to decide the games remains intact. But the Spurs it is a little more, say ... unfair.

PS.: This article was made after the 07' Suns x Spurs series. OK, the Spurs is one of the best teams of the NBA, but they aren't too honest. [www.bolapresa.com]

2- MANU GINOBILI - That reason I know will be difficult cause the guy has a lot of fans. But he is not a bad player, he is great. For me don't matter if he is the MVP, he did 100 points or dunked in the middle of the court, Ginobili is the best flopper of the NBA. Say that he is the best flopper is not enough, he is an actor on the court. What makes me really angry is every time on the game that he is touched by other player, Manu just fell down like he had some heart problem. But is not just this, when he get an offensive foul this makes him really angry, like someone has talked about his mother. Is like when you're playing some X1 and your opponent is always hitting you in the back, so when you hit him he gets really mad and "want to call the police".

PS.: This article "5 Reasons to Hate the Spurs" was made by Denis and Danilo, two brazilians NBA fans. If you want to see the article in portuguese or visit his blog: "http://www.bolapresa.com"

This video about the "Manu's Flop" is really funny, check it out:

I'm just doing this article to answer an old question: Why so much people hate the San Antonio Spurs? Calm down people, this is just MY OPINION, just like a lot of people hate the Lakers and the Celtics. So please if you don't agree, just take a comment saying why.

1- BRUCE BOWEN - The unique way to like Bruce Bowen is being blind or a Spurs Fan. There are so many videos with dirty plays from Bruce Bowen that you can collect them all like trading cards. His hobby is hurt the other players. He collects more twisted foots than Angelina Jolie collects babies. One of the best things Isiah Thomas did for the Knicks was discussing with Bowen when he twisted Francis's Ankle (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdxXvkMB6gA&feature=related).

But, a lot of people think Bowen is a very good player, nobody knows how to defend him. And I agree. He is a talented man when we talk about defense, twist ankles, kick, punch the others and escape from the official's whistle. Last year when we got Spurs x Suns, i was really sorry about Nash. The way he was tortured by Bowen when he got the ball was horrible! Bruce gives little punches in all the players with the ball, until they get really mad and discuss with him.

The other 4 reasons I will be posting in the next days ok! Thanks, and please leave a comment :D

So, we are in the second week of the playoffs. Toronto Raptors and Denver Nuggets already have said "good-bye" to this season. There are 4 series with 3-1 (Jazz and Rockets, Mavs and Hornets, Spurs and Suns, Cavs and Wizards). Is there any chance that some of those teams will get 3 wins in a row?

UTAH x HOUSTON - The Jazz last season won agaisnt the Rockets, Warriors and then lost to the Spurs. Deron Williams is one of the TOP 5 guards in the league, gather with Boozer (who is averaging in this series 12.5 rebounds), and they have Korver in the bench to hit some great 3-point shots. Kirilenko is very nice this season, but could be better than this. Houston lost Yao and two games in home. Sorry Mcgrady, but I think this series will be 4x2 for the Jazz.

NEW ORLEANS x DALLAS - OK, Dallas is a team very experienced in the playoffs. Jason Kidd isn't a good defender against CP3 and Jason Terry is better on offensive. Nowitzki is leading the Mavs, but the Hornets is a young team who unfortunately has Chris Paul, with Chandler and West in the glass. Dallas maybe will get one more win, but not enough: 4x2 for the Hornets.

SAN ANTONIO x PHOENIX - Everybody were just saying: the Suns will win for the first time this series. When Marion was with the team, they don't had a center. Now that he is gone and Nash got Shaq for the Big Man, the team is slowlier on offensive, but better in defense (?). With all this hack-a-shaq thing and Parker on fire, the Spurs can be the champions again. Shaq, wake up and show the real center for Duncan! If Nash plays like he did on Sunday, they can win 3 games in a row. But for me, it's over today: 4x1 for the Spurs.

CLEVELAND x WASHINGTON - I saw all the games from this series and I have to say: both teams can surprise any other when the subject is PLAYOFFS. WIzards have a complete team, but is bad on defense. Cavs is good on defense, but not too good on offensive. With all the DeShawn-LeBron discussion, the third time they battle in playoffs, this series get more fire. Arenas and Stevenson can play better in the Game 5, but LeBron want a lot to win. Final: 4x3 for the Cavaliers.

Ok, maybe I will be wrong and Suns will win 3 in a row. But this is the probably result of all this series. Maybe Arenas can be on fire, or CP3 breaks his leg and Dallas win. The only thing we know is that this playoffs is one of the most competitive.

PS.: Sorry about my english, it isn't so good. :D

Hello, I'm Dericaz and I'm new here. I will be talking about basketball, football, soccer, baseball and hockey here (a little bit of all).

Right now I will talk about the Cavaliers x Wizards Game 4. Ok, in the first and second quarter the

Cavs were destroying the Wizards, it was horrible. LeBron really start playing after DeShawn hit him in the head. Alley-Oops, dunks, 3-point shots, it was like the game was in Cleveland. Wizards loosing a lot of rebounds, but still hitting some shots.

In Halftime the game was 54x44 for the Cavs.

In the third quarter, Eddie Jordan have probably told really good words for the Washington team. Butler started to play hard, with penetrations and 3-point shot in important minutes. In this half, Gibson and West were doing a lot of field goals, and LeBron, who was with 30 points, started to give a lot of assists and stop shooting.

But, in the last quarter, the Wizards was close, but never tied. With less than 20 seconds to finish the game, Arenas made an incredible shot to tie the game (97-97). Cleveland ball, 15 seconds. LeBron James picks the ball, goes to the basket and then pass to Delonte West in his left, he made it from three. Time Out Washington, 5 seconds. Arenas picks the ball, does the fake and.....he misses it!

FINAL: Cleveland Cavaliers 100 x 97 Washington Wizards

LeBron James = 34 pts, 7 assists, 12 rebounds

Antawn Jamison = 23 pts, 11 rebounds, 3 steals.

This is just a little review, so in the next posts I will do some bigger with more information. ;)

Thanks, and if you want leave a comment :D
