16 pts. up against the reigning champs and diving for a loose ball. The result - a `W` and a shiny new dental bill. Gotta love a player on the rise that hustles like that. Respect to Danny Granger. Sure hope the new contract covers the expenses....

A little Piece of (stuffed) Joy
Anytime a player has his own dunk contest, picks pockets all night and (here comes the good part) throws a block-party (everyone`s invited), I`m happy. Anytime that player is Dwyane Wade, I`m all smiles, all day long, baby! Check out the stats:

The ArTEST Project
Even though it was a major deal, the whole trade kind of went under the radar. My guess is that people just don`t know what to think of it. Because, you know, this is Mr. Artest, a guy that literally holds his own. No matter what. Or who.
What I am looking forward to is finding out if he has finally become the master of his emotions or - not. You see, there are, according to some theories, passive-aggressive people, then there are aggressive people. And then there`s the case of Ron Artest, who can only be defined as A.A. - Artest-aggressive:

He`s just that kind of guy. His great qualities as a basketball player aside, I wonder if he`s (ever) going to get his emotions under control. Otherwise, he can become a loose cannon (bomb, whacko, mean machine) in a snap!. Time will tell if he finally got himself a remote-control. So far into the season, he`s looking good (read that good-tempered). If he manages to keep it up, the Rockets might finally get past the first round. The way I see it, it depends on a simple remote-control in the hands of a really special guy.
Look out, now....

Opening Night
The beginning. Well, sort of.
After giving it a couple of thoughts, I`ve decided that I just might share my opinions and views with the rest of the world. After all, basketball will rule the sports scene sooner or later. Even though it`s flawed and imperfect, it satisfies the senses, gets the blood pumping and most importantly - motivates people all over the globe.
So, enough with the bla-bla, the simple idea of this blog is to look at (and direct the attention to) those special moments in the basketball world, that make you utter "Wow!", as well as "Hmm?". And, of course, "Blahh". And, of course, we shall try to find the reason why.
Sure hope the `psy` - part doesn`t scare everyone away. So, if you think you are man enough (woman enough simply doesn`t cut it, I`m sorry), then blog right in....
