Houston Meltdown

Still in awe that the Houston Rockets lost against the Los Angeles Lakers. It was a good game, but the officiating is really bad! NBA clearly needs Lakers for their own benefit! Questionable calls every time, favoring the Los Angeles Lakers. But Lakers did a great job to be honest, after Kobe went down, players stepped up and did gave more energy than before. They are all playing inspired Basketball.

Even with the disappointment because of their loss, I still believe in them. They're the youngest team in the league right now so they still need a lot of learning to do. They've proven they can beat the toughest teams and I believe they can do it against last years finals' runner up, the Oklahoma City Thunders. It would be really interesting since James Harden will play against his former team!

Tracy McGrady is back!

He is back! I thought he already gave up his NBA career. I am very happy to see my favorite Rockets player back! It's sad to see that he will play for San Antonio Spurs, but I will still take it. Who doesn't want to see Tracy McGrady play again?

If I remember it right, Tracy McGrady has never won a playoff series, I think this is the perfect team for him. Spurs would definitely need him. But the question is, can he still play as good as he was before? His latest league was Chinese Basketball Association where he played for Qingdao Eagles and he averaged 25 points, 7.2 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game. Not bad at all! 

I just hope he won't face the Houston Rockets come playoffs. That would be epic and dramatic at the same time! I am not a Spurs fan, but he will be a very big boost on their NBA campaign! The Spurs are currently at 58-23, making them the 2nd seed on the Western Conference

Welcome to the Spurs Nation Tracy McGrady!
