Spurs sign Ratliff - Spurs did well to fill the Big Guy hole by signing McDyees, Ratliff after losing the Rasheed signing war & Oberto in Jefferson trade
Heat don't match Cavs' offer for Moon - LBJ gets one more help for the ring. Moon is a very good wing player.
Orlando Magic near deal with forward Matt Barnes - Wow...if that's true, Magic would have another reliable 3-pt shooter!
Steve Nash is staying in Suns - I like Steve Nash as a player and it is always entertaining to see him playing. But the fact that he may not get a ring in his career is somewhat sad.

Rasheed Stayed in the East
- Rasheeeeeeeeeeeed to Celtics! wow! I think it is a bigger news than VC to Magic.
I don't know those good and (relatively) elder players just love the Celtics franchise, KG(?) or the high possibility of getting a Ring in the less competitive Eastern Conference, they just join them one by one. From PJ Brown, Sam Cassell, Stephon Marbury (I don't want to show any disrespect by not listing him) to Rasheed Wallace.
Any players fit the above profile would like to join Jazz? : ) Well, to be fair, we once had Derek Fisher.
- The rumour of AK trade with T-Mac, I guess it is probably, rumour. I don't see why Rockets need AK when they have got Ariza. Their styles are alike and (probably) Ariza has better 3-pt shooting...

Shaq Deal Done; and VC to Orlando
- Shaq deal done. LBJ can be officially smiling.
- VC to Magic. Quite surprised that Magic management chose to have VC over Hedo considering Hedo is doing well. Very likely Hedo would walk away this summer. We'll see how it impacts Magic, but one thing for sure, we will see more Alley-hoops, not only from Dwight but also VC.

Fisher
The Finals Game 4,
- Firstly, before commenting this game. You would know what it takes to beat Lakers - 62.5% FG% and Magic only won by four in Game 3.
- Magic should have had this one. Dwight missed two key FTs in final seconds and gave Fisher a chance to tie it. Coach Van Gundy said it right. They did a good job to stop Kobe getting the ball but when Fisher got the ball, the whole team is defending like with a mission of preventing a lay-up. Just too much space for Fisher.
- By the way, who cares now about the statistically good game of Dwight - 16 pts, 21 rebs, 2 asts, 9 blks.

Inexperienced Magic is being Smashed
The Finals Game 1,
- Not surprisingly, inexperienced Magic is being Smashed. They will get better.
- Jameer Nelson is in action, and doing well.
- Kobe, as he said, wants the Champ so badly.

Final Set - Magic vs Lakers
Magic-Cavaliers Game 6,
- Dwight dominates, probably one of the most important games of his life.
Others,
- Lakers is on the other side smiling. They have Home Court Advantage.
- I think Lakers would have an edge over Magic. They have an experienced coach, they have experienced players, and perhaps more importantly they have enough bodies to put on Dwight Howard.

Finals Predictions
Eastern Final - Magic vs Cavaliers
I don't believe Cavaliers could sweep Magic. But no one should be surprised if Cavs took it with 5 games.
Western Final - Nuggets vs Lakers
Tough series expected. It would take 6 games or more, which means either team could win 2, at least.

Six Games; Four Went to OT; Seven OT Periods
Others,
- Everyone takes turn to be the Hero in Game 6. I start to watch the game since the middle of Q4, I guess I have captured the most exciting moments from there till the end of 3OT.
- After 6 games, four went to OT, and combined with a total of 7 OT periods. Who should be smiling? The whole Magic team. Whichever team win would be half-exhausted when facing Magic.
- For Game 7, I got a strange feeling that Celtics will repeat the story last year, i.e. it would be a blowout win for them at Home. And I will now use one of the most commonly used expression in NBA - "Never underestimate the Heart of a Champion".
- Howard is suspened in Game 6, and he keeps himself busy by twittering. I am not sure how he feels after he saw the words from Andre Miller - "They're actually better without Dwight Howard, one of their players told me that they were better without Dwight Howard. They said the ball moves quicker. They're not standing around a lot."
He is trying to messing up with Howard's head (even after the elimination?) or really someone in Magic thinks that they are a better team without Howard? I lean on the latter which means someone in Magic really thinks so. That's...interesting.
- Ron Artest shows some humour while he was being asked about rushing in the stand to save the ball in the final minutes. - "Well...em...I've been in a stand before." Go this link for the laughters - link.
