NBA to start tonight!!

Can't wait!! :)


Keep an eye on this guy, Rajon Rondo, Boston Celtics:




Plus the Celtics have a Dance Team for the first time in their history, ha!!
Oh well, let's start with a quote, Avery Johnson during the 2005 Playoffs:

"Maybe I need to go crazy. Maybe I should go crazy. Maybe that will help.''
That's exactly how I feel sometimes, especially at work!!
This is another interesting one, courtesy of Ron Artest:

“I'm going to continue playing hard and out of control, like a wild animal that needs to be caged in. I'll let the referees handle it.

He´s mental anyway, so... But these are just a two of the (many) main characters of the league. The rest??? You figure it out yourselves... Fun times all around!!

Here some early predictions:

  • Champion: Rockets if McGrady stays healthy
  • MVP: Kobe
  • Top Scorer: Kobe, followed by Arenas
  • 6th-Man: Barbosa, maybe Delonte West or Antoine Walker if they don´t start...
  • 1st Team NBA: Kobe, TMac, Yao, Duncan, Lebron
  • 2nd Team NBA: Pierce, Wade, Brand, Dirk, Arenas
  • 3rd Team NBA: Baron Davis (watch out for him coming back at his best), Dwight Howard, Artest, Kirilenko, Iverson. Tough ommissions Mike Bibby, Vince Carter and Steve Nash.
  • Rookie of the Year: Rajon Rondo
  • Most Improved: Shaun Livingston or Deron Williams (best case scenario as a Celtic: Al Jefferson)
  • Sleeper Teams: Utah, Golden State... Boston
  • Top Eight in the East: Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Miami, Washington, Boston, Orlando and Indiana in no particular order. Semifinals:Chicago, Miami, Cleveland, Washington. Conference Finals: Washington - Cleveland
  • Top Eight in the West: San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Clippers, Lakers, Phoenix, Utah, Sacramento. Semifinals: Houston, San Antonio, Sacramento, Lakers. Conference Finals: Houston - San Antonio
  • NBA Final: Houston over Cleveland in 6
  • Defensive Player of the Year: Ron Artest
  • Coach of the Year: Don Nelson
  • Best Dancers: As for last year I´m with the Phoenix Suns Cheerleaders. I´ll do some research and will post my 2006-2007 favourite soon. The Clippers look good so far...
    That´s it for now, let the fun begin and... GO CELTICS!!!!!

About me

  • Bonjour, I'm Marco, welcome to my little place on the Internet.
  • I started this blog when I arrived in London in early 2006, hence the name “london-connection”. In the meantime I have moved to Paris, after a short stint in Geneva. I like to write about silly stuff, about sports, travelling and going out… just about everything that crosses my mind, actually. The little things that spice life up a bit.
  • I hope you enjoy the trip...
