LA Lakers Review

Have you watched the children TV Show Timmy Time? because the show really describes Lakers.
It might sound funny, but beware. a group children can confuse and tire adults because they are so many of them, and they have energy to run around.
Steve Nash is the wise old headmaster while Gasol is the teacher who wants to keep up with his students but his legs betray him

Houston Rockets Vs Denver Nuggets Preview

1.Kenneth Faried is the key, if he can keep D12  away from the glass and get offensive rebounds, the balance of the game will tilt to nuggets' favour
2.D12 is a containable post player,  brian shaw must take risk by not double teaming him
3.Nate Robinson can burn Rockets from the perimeter

Houston Rocket's pounding basketball

There is a reason  why Rocket  has  an ability to coming from behind and somehow  got double digit win. It's the ability of the two towers to deliver  48 minutes punishment to opposing front court. Mchale has peculiar rotation in the end of third quarter and the start of the fourth.
Instead of  going with the relatively better player in Howard,  Mchale goes with Asik. Opposing coach has 2 options.first option put  a back up center and watch Asik eat him  alive. Second  option  stick with the starting center to fight toe to toe with Asik.  Here is the catch, a relatively  fresh Dwight Howard will check in for Omer Asik and dominate. the opposin center will think " I can handle Asik" then  Howard comes in "you got to be joking".
It's like how lions hunt. The pack  attack  its prey until  the prey is dying, then  the alpha male  come in for the kill. Watching Rockets is still like year. Harden-asik's screen combo  to hold the lead,/ dig Rocket out of hole .  It's like  Howard is a mega sub.  Iwith this rotation  Howard is in for a career year, so is Asik if he  can average 30 minutes.

Houston Rockets @ Los Angeles Clippers

I prefer Asik on Griffin and Dwight on Deandre Jordan because :
1. Last season Asik was successful in stopping griffin, forcing him to shot jumpers
2.Dwight has more athleticism to intercept lob pass to Jordan
X factor Ryan Hollins & Byron Mullens
 -If TT can force Doc Rivers to go small, Asik must dominate hollins to force Doc to keep Jordan on the floor all time. Then a relatively fresh Howard enters the game to dominate Jordan.
-I once watch Mullens got hot from land of three,……
about twins towers
-There is a pattern, early in the game, opponent can easily snatch offensive rebounds because of miscommunication between Howard and Asik ( none of them box out the rebounder
-Asik must learn by now that he has to be more careful when setting screens, no more silly early foul
-Howard and Asik must hit their free throws so that rockets can do hack a jordan effectively if needed

Denver Broncos vs Washingtown Redskins Preview

Reason for Reskins to be optimist:

1.Last week, Denver Broncos had a great difficulty stopping Andrew Luck's run. They allowed luck to get a touchdown and a critical firstdown through ground. they were also at lost on how to tackle him once he got out of the pocket.

2..RG3  seemed to to have gotten his legs back and  his pas is getting  crispier week after week. If his pass can keep Broncos's defense honest, he can torch  Broncos's defense with his run. Hopefully he can convert 75% of his trip to red zones into touchdowns
3.last year there were 4  playoff teams that featured a dual threat quarterback:Redskins, Colts, Seahawks, and 49ers.Redskins is the seond team out of the group that Broncos face

Is Andrew Luck a Running Quarterback?

Just like Russel Wilson, Luck uses his speed to escape pressure and  extend plays, just like any  running quarterback, Luck will  just run to the end zone when his receivers are well covered. Luck  just doesn't run much because he is a very good passer, but that disqualify him as a running quarterback does it? 
Luck is a smart guy, that's why he won't hesitate to use every arsenal he has to win games and that includes running.Teams that doesn't acknowledge him  as dual threat will regret it.

refs ruined Broncos @ Colts

what a farce. there was not much peyton manning could do when  his receivers were being hold, there was not much Andrew Luck had to do when he always had the ball in the midfield.
Manning started it well,  scoring a touchdown  with just two passes in broncos' second possession. But after a fumble a series of no call on holding by the colts, manning became shaky. He appeared  to regain confidence late in the third quarter after  finally the refs  called a  pass interference, and  he led the broncos to the red zone. Then Broncos got slapped by two penalties, first a false start and second a delay of game, broncos ended up with only a field goal.
It's hard to measure Andrew Luck in this game,  he was good and those touchdowns were things of beauty.it's hard to  say he was great when he had so much of his work cut out for him . Holding by the colts resulted in punt by broncos in their own red zone, which in turn resulted in  the colts getting the ball in the midfield. Luck also had some 3 and outs.
