Are you in the game?!

The Boston Celtics is not done building a championship contender team. It recently signed free agent James Posey. Posey at 6'8 plays the small forward position. He has a streaky stroke from the outside, can penetrate and more importantly a good defensive player. Posey also brings experience in the team. The guy steps-up especially during the playoffs. The star that he is, Posey is satisfied playing as a role player in his team. He has never been the go to guy or the super star of the team although I think he has what it takes to be one.

The Celtics has really done a very good job not just in their trade deals but also in their exploitation of the free agent market. Other recruit from the free agent list are Scott Pollard and Eddie House. Both are NBA veterans and effective role players.

Definitely the Celtics are going for the killer line-up this season. For more on this story [url="http://www.nba.com/celtics/news/notes/notes082707-posey-role.html"]CLICK ME[/url]

Nostalgic.

When I saw this video, I felt good. It's nice to remember the good old days of the PBA. To the avid fans of PBA, I bet you'll feel the same. hehehe PBA plays are not as fantastic and exceptional like the plays in the NBA but it's certainly entertaining to watch.

The 1st five of the USA Men's team is composed of Jason Kidd, Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, Carmelo Anthony, and Dwight Howard. wOwOw! That's all I can say for this 5! It is an exceptional, full blast offensive 5! You get complete offensive weapons from these players. Only Dwight Howard can't hit the 3-ball and can't operate from the outside but he is a monster both on the defensive and offensive ends down in the paint. The other four are complete players! With Jason Kidd as court-general, the ball rotation is assured and so are their set plays. With Lebron, Kobe, and Melo, your assured of inside and outside attack. Plus the hussle defense of James will surely come to play. 

This is a deadly first five. Any team who can't play extra tight defense on the Americans will surely be down by bigtime early in the game. This is an explosive 1st five! They can run and gun with the wingmen or set the table with Jason Kidd at the point. The inside threat is not a question since Dwight Howard is a good post player. 

The downside however of this 1st five is on the defensive end. But I think the thinking of the coaching staff of team USA at this point or for the tournament is to outscore and dump every single opponent. That's why he build a team that can definitely leave other teams with dust.... 

I must say, the team is very exciting to watch.The Americans have certainly learn their lesson in inter-state or country competitions.
