NBA Action

NBA ACTION







What a day in the NBA! Buzzer beater called no good, Dwayne Wade goes off for 41 and Dallas came back and smashed Houston in the second half.

What a finish to the Chicago/Denver fixture! After missing the second free throw on purpose, Chauncey Billups put the Nuggets up by one with 0.3 seconds remaining. Chicago took a timeout to set up a hail mary. Brad Miller popped out received the ball and let it fly. The basket was good and sent the United Centre into a frenzy. However all the celebrations turned sour as after looking at the video replay Brad Miller had not let the ball go in time. It was a fair call! Denver getting a big road win.


Dwayne Wade has again led his team to victory at home against the Washington Wizards. This year the Heat are on fire and have D-Wade to thank for it. He is playing like the MVP of the league at the moment. He is averaging 28 points a game and 4.8 assists for the first six matches. If he keeps this up the Heat will be in the playoffs and Wade could have himself the MVP trophy. Today he had 41 points, some of them towards the end of the fourth when his team needed him most. A notable mention to Gilbert Arenas who had 13 turnovers. This places him in the Wizards record books for most turnovers. Great record to hold if you ask me.




The Dallas Mavericks this year are making life hard for themselves. Coming back from big deficits seems to be the norm for Dirk and the Mavs this season. Today the Houston Rockets came out on fire! Brooks, the point guard for Houston, lit Dallas up in the first quarter. He is so small but usES his lightning speed to blow by his opponents. The first half by the Rockets was one of the most entertaining halves of basketball I've seen by an NBA team in a while. Their second half however was one of the worst. Dallas changed the whole game by slowing the Rockets down and played a half court game in which Houston could not compete with. Dallas eventually winning by a comfortable 18 points. A notable mention goes to David Anderson, an Aussie playing for Houston. I felt he held his own in the match and had a great first half. The commentators gave him a bit of a wrap which was good. He just needs to find his feet in a league played totally different to the way the Europeans. Keep it up David.
