eets unpeyr!!!

woah..

Yesterday was rather depressing one. My two favorite teams lost their respective games. This is not good. Nevertheless, they are my best bets to win their respective conferennces and meet in the NBA finals(nakatsamba kc si Dirk eh..huhuhuu..)

Anyway, since I'm already doing something NBA related, let me share to all of you my top5 best teams in the NBA:

5. Dallas Mavericks

Though their victory over Phoenix yesterday was a fluke(nyahahahahahahah), Dallas is a team to be reckoned with. They have a great starting lineup ang a superb bench. Almost anyone coach Avery Johnson fields in could make an impact. What's even more impressive is that their defense has improved from last year. They proved this in their first round opener against Houston(huhuhu..fafa Tmac) and showed it again in Game2 against the Suns. Still, despite their many weapons, they still need Michael Finley and Dirk Nowitski to have big games(Dallas is 16-0[?] when Finley and Dirk scores 20+).

4.Phoenix Suns

Coach of the Year Mike D'antoni must be proud of what his team has accomplished. After losing over 50 games last season, Phoenix went on to make the 3rd best turnaround in NBA history winning an NBA best 62 games, while leading the league in scoring, 2nd in fastbreak points and among the top10 in Fg%. Lead by MVP Steve Nash, the Suns have steamrolled over the competition with their trademark speed and torrid outside shooting. They have torched any opponent foolish enough to play the running game. And now, they're in the playoffs. Still, many are doubting that the Suns can't win it all since they do not play any defense. But, after their 4-0 sweep against Memphis in the first round and their 127-102 thrashing of the MAvs in game 1 of their round 2 series, maybe they can do it.

3.Detroit Pistons

According to Indiana headman Rick Carlisle, the Pistons' starting 5 is the best in the NBA. In the first round of the playoffs and in game 1 against the Pacers, the defending champs have lived up to Carlisle's claim. Detroit's first 5 is a terror in the defensive end. Posting up against this team is very much difficult as you would have to contend against Rasheed Wallace and 3-time Defensive Player of the Year Ben Wallace. In offense, Chauncey Billups anchors the team scoring with his exceptional playmaking and great outside shooting. Rip Hamilton, on the other hand is a modern-day Reggie Miller, with his ability to move without the basketball. While Tayshaun Prince is showing signs of being an All-Star. As for their bench, Antonio McDyess leads a bunch of talented reserves carefully rotated by Hall of Famer Larry Brown. Although their loss in Game 2 revealed a chink in their armour(which is, according to Steve Kerr, the lack of a go-to-guy),they still are the team to beat.

2.Miami Heat

Actually, Miami really has the best lineup in the NBA today. They create several mismatches with Shaq in the lowpost, the superathletic Dwyane Wade manning the point and Eddie & Damon Jones waiting in the wings, plus a string of dependable reserves. They were just narrowly defeated by the Spurs because San Antonio has the championship experience. But there is a legitimate reason why the Heat is the pick of NBA legends to win the title this year. Shaq has not been his usual dominating self but Wade is playing like a man possesed. Once the Big Diesel does wake up, better watch out.

1.San Antonio Spurs

As much as I hate this teams. I can't really dicount the fact that they have the best team in the NBA, talentwise and experiencewise. Though hobbled by injuries, Tim Duncan has been superb in the playoffs(when doesn't he?) while Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili(who has been comming of the bench) have been simply amazing. Plus, their role players have been doing good as well, espescially Brent Barry, Nazr Mohammed and Robert Horry. But what makes this team so dangerous is that they can beat you in your own game. They can win in a fast-paced game and they can win in a defensive brawl. Their trademark defense is really a pain in the a*s.

ayun..that's my list..wahehehe..
