with the all-star weekend just around the corner, i'm getting into the mix of all-star posts in the blogosphere. we all know by now that me williams will be in the all-star game after all after he was named as chris bosh's replacement. chris paul will also play at the all-star game so i think carmelo anthony will not be playing this weekend. with those things out of the way, here we go with the top five nba all-star logos in my book: at number 5 is the logo used for the 2001 nba all-star held at the mci center in washington d.c. i think the reason why i picked this is the person currently residing in the white house. number 4 is this number from the all-star game in 1981, three years before i was born. :D what i like about this logo is its simplicity and the way they use the colors on the logo. number 3 on the list is the logo used for the all-star game in las vegas. they surely picked the right inspiration for this logo. number 2 is the logo for next year's all-star ga...

the new orleans hornets will now be advancing to the second round of the nba playoffs after they dispatched the dallas mavericks 99-94 in game 5 of their best -of-seven series. leading the way as usual is chris paul who came up with a triple-double posting 24 points, 15 assists, and 11 rebounds. david west scored 25 points for the hornets and tyson chandler came up with another double-double with 10 points and 14 rebounds. this means the hornets will be facing the winner of the spurs-suns series which i predicted to be taken by the suns . but then again, i could be wrong, just as wrong as predicting that the nuggets will win over the lakers in 6 games. you know you've got a problem when your starting center has fewer rebounds than the opposing team's pointguard. now, chris paul is not known as a good rebounding pointguard, that distinction is owned by the mavs' jason kidd . but in game 5, chris paul showed that he can do what kidd can do. apart from elimina...

chris paul will finish not lower than second in the MVP balloting in my humble opinion. and if people who voted for kobe did so because they were not sure how cp3 would fare in the playoffs, they must be shaking thier heads. i bet chayee won't agree. hehehe but even the most loyal kobe bryant fan would agree that chris paul had two mvp-caliber performances in his first two career playoffs game. the feisty guard from wake forest broke the franchise record for assists in a single regulation playoffs game after dishing out 17 helpers in the game 2 of the series between the new orleans hornets and the dallas mavericks. the next two games will be in dallas and surely, avery johnson would be doing everything in his power to win the two games at home. dirk nowitzki , josh howard , jason terry , jerry stackhouse , jason kidd , big names with great skills. but somehow, they cannot come up with an answer to cp3's dominance in the series. i'm rooting for the hornets and i ho...

the kid who carried my fantasy team to the playoffs, chris paul, made his playoffs debut against the dallas mavs. in his first playoff game, cp3 did not do well... he did great. halftime, the hornets are down by twelve and german sharpshooter dirk nowitzki had been imposing his will on the hornets. when the second half came around, it was all chris paul as the mvp candidate put together a 7-0 run all by himself. but the come-from-behind win would not have been possible without support from david west who scored 23 points and grabbed 8 boards. tyson chandler has a double-double to show for with 10 points and 15 rebounds. peja stojakovic scored 14 for the hornets. chris paul had a great nigh with 35 points, 10 assists, 4 steals, and only a single turnover. dallas need other guys to step up if they want to move to the second round of the playoffs. game 1 of their showdown with the hornets saw only three mavs in double figures. nowitzki had 31, josh howard with 17, and jason ...
