Chris Webber joined the Pistons last year as a free agent expecting to win a World Championship in hometown of Detroit. In reality fairy tales rarely happen thus Detroit was upset in six games by King James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Now Webber seems to be chasing another dream after word comes out he plans to play for the Golden State Warriors for whom he played with during his rookie season. The odd thing is Webber utilized a one-year escape clause to get away from head coach Don Nelson after his rookie season yet now he is accepting an invitation from Nelson and Chris Mullin to play for the Warriors. If this isn’t an odd situation all the way around then I don’t know what is anymore. I think Webber can definitely provide a spark to the Warriors, but don’t look for anything better than a second round appearance in the Western Conference playoffs.

Every team in the NBA Playoffs has played one game now and for the most part it was straight chalk. As a matter of fact all the higher seeds won their first round game until the last two games of yesterday. Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony combined for 61 points and outlasted the Spurs 95-89 in San Antonio. The Nuggets won their first game against San Antonio in the 2005 playoffs too, but then lost the next four games to the Spurs who went on to win then NBA Championship that year. The Nuggets know this is only one game, but if they keep scoring like they did last night then we might have a big upset in the first round of the playoffs.

The final game of the night was even a bigger surprise than the Spurs upset. It shouldn’t be since Golden State has owned the Mavericks by winning their last five coming into last night’s game in Dallas. Baron Davis poured in 33 points and Golden State made it six wins in a row against the Mavericks with a 95-87 victory. Stephen Jackson dropped 23 and Jason Richardson added 13 for the Warriors while Dirk Nowitzki struggled bad and ended up with 14 on the night. This is supposed to be the year for Dallas and this certainly isn’t a way to start off your quest for the NBA Championship.

Are there going to be any big upsets in the first round of the playoffs this year? The first round series normally are yawners, but I am going to try and predict one that will surprise you. Let me know what you think!

I really really want to pick the Warriors over the Mavericks, but I just can’t pull the trigger. I am going to take the Nuggets over the Spurs instead.

I’m going to for the most part leave this alone and just let you hear the audio for yourself.  Tim Hardaway who played most of his career with the Golden State Warriors and the Dallas Mavericks is not fond of gay people and he really opens mouth and inserts foot in this audio!  This was all in response to a question about the recent coming out announcement of former NBA player John Amaechi.
