5 teams with legitimate shot at winning NBA title

October 27, 2015 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

There are 30 teams in the NBA, but realistically speaking there are only a handful of teams capable of hoisting the Larry O’Brien trophy. If you’re a fan of the Sixers, Kings, Lakers, Nuggets, Nets and Hornets, it’s probably safe to book that reservation to Las Vegas or the Caribbean in June. Sure there are … [Read more…]

Blame Popovich for Spurs’ 1st round exit

May 4, 2015 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Ask any basketball reporter and they will tell you their two greatest fears are being denied a free pregame meal and interviewing Gregg Popovich. Popovich is undeniably one of the greatest coaches in NBA history. He helped build a model franchise in San Antonio, and he’ll likely find himself in the Naismith Basketball Hall of … [Read more…]

NBA wishes for Heat, Clippers in Finals

April 19, 2014 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

It’s not hard to figure out who the NBA is pulling for in the 2014 playoffs. All you need is take one look at the TV schedule and you’ll find the answer. ABC showcased the Clippers-Warriors opening game on Saturday, and Game 1 of the Heat-Bobcats matchup on Sunday. It’s a clear indication the league … [Read more…]

Missing stars in Christmas showcase

December 24, 2013 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

This wasn’t how the NBA schedule-makers envisioned Christmas Day. When they pitted the Lakers and Heat, they had visions of LeBron James going head-to-head with Kobe Bryant at Staples Center. Instead, they’ll likely get LeBron versus. . . . Wesley Johnson? When they pitted the Bulls and the Nets, they had visions of Derrick Rose … [Read more…]

‘Motivated’ Spurs keep on rolling

November 2, 2013 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

If Friday night’s game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the visiting San Antonio Spurs was a heavyweight boxing championship fight, the fans would have been clamoring for a refund. Kobe Bryant is still rehabbing from a torn Achilles tendon he sustained last season and Tim Duncan missed the game because of a chest contusion. … [Read more…]

FINALS: Spurs feel they let title slip away

June 20, 2013 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

You can see the disappointment in Tim Duncan’s face. You can hear the frustration in Manu Ginobili’s voice. When members of the 2012-13 San Antonio Spurs look back at this season they will play the “what if” game. What if we made our free throws down the stretch? What if we grabbed two more defensive … [Read more…]

FINALS: Legacies at stake in Game 7

June 20, 2013 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Game 7. NBA Finals. There’s nothing better in the sport of basketball. It’s a winner-take-all contest to decide which team takes home the Larry O’Brien trophy. The Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs are arguably the two best teams in the NBA the last three seasons and we finally get to see both in … [Read more…]

FINALS: Allen’s clutch 3 saves Heat season

June 19, 2013 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Ray Allen expects to make every shot. That’s the mentality of one of the greatest 3-point shooters in NBA history. When Allen got the ball with seven seconds left and Miami down by three to San Antonio in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, the basketball gods must have been smiling on the Heat because … [Read more…]

FINALS: Spo holds his own against Pop

June 16, 2013 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Gregg Popovich is old enough to be Erik Spoelstra’s dad. If the 2013 NBA Finals came down to experience and guile, Popovich would win hands down if you put a wager on basketball. You can bet US fans will pick Pop in a heartbeat. Popovich, 64, is the Garry Kasparov of coaches. He may be … [Read more…]

FINALS: Could this be Ginobili’s last ride?

June 15, 2013 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

When Manu Ginobili ever decides to retire from the NBA, he’ll go down in basketball history as one of the greatest to play the game. He’s a first-ballot Hall-of-Famer who belongs on the Mt. Rushmore of international players who changed the NBA landscape, a short list that includes Dirk Nowitzki, Pau Gasol, and Tony Parker. … [Read more…]
