Oh, and for Wednesday game Dallas vs New Orleans, Cooool~~~

One of my fav, Jason Kidd was on fire.

I didn't watch the whole game but I've watched the 4th quarter. It's a pretty interesting game. When I saw Jason Kidd play, he seemed like he tries to post up all the time. Why? Cause Chris Paul was guarding him. Wisely use his bigger body against smaller Chris Paul. This is what we all should learn to do: Change playing style while facing different opponents. (I "think" Chris Paul has no defense though. I'll see more about this in playoffs).

Also, the game strategy for both team was to double-teaming on the opponent's star player. Dallas was double-teaming Chirs Paul. On the other hand, New Orleans was double-teaming Dirk. This was also why Kidd got his 27 points (Dirk got 12). He stepped up while the team needs him to. Was a cool game~~


First of all. Woohooo~~~Aaron~~~What's up yo!
Second: Sorry Keith, I remember your birthday (actually I only remember yours... I don't even remember mine), can I have your address please (email). (I haven't emailed you back yet huh?)
Third: check this out

This girl is called Strong Machine 2 (His dad is Strong Machine 1). Awesome commercial!!!

Man~~~ what happen to me these days. I'm so into Steve Nash. Watching his clips in NBA.com and youtube. I saw some comment on how Nash sucks as defence. I don't really know about that cause I didn't see a lot of his game. But on the offensive side, he really impress me. Anyway, I don't have to go into details on why I like him and how good is he, do I? Also, he seemed like he is a nice guy. (Well, from those limited video clips of him talking) And from the games, you don't see him very "showy" ( not like Turiaf.... gosh, he's annoying to pretend to be excited), which I personally like about.

About my game, I'd wanna improve my game, of course. Couple things I wanna improve (before I'm nailed at the office)
1. Jump shooting : Everyone tells me that my shots are flat, which I really hate my own shooting style. I need to practice some higher arc shooting because I know it myself that it will help my shooting. Using my legs is what I keeeep on reminding myself but still not being able to do it when I play a game (For Bay area-er. well, I'm talking about pick up games here if you don't already know I'm not playing in the league already).

2. Passing : After a game, no matter I win or lose, I always think I should pass more and shoot less. The feeling of getting your teammates involve is way more precious than scoring all the points. I guess thats how Jason feel and I'm feeling that, too. e.g. Last week, passing to Kate and after she got those wide open shot with a nothing-but-net style... MAN~~~ feels so good. esp on game winning shots of course.
What I need to do maybe is to try to locate my teammates at all times. Also, knowing a player's style is very important, too. Where he/she wanna get the ball, how he/she wants it, when he/she wants it....... is he/she usually a shooter or a low post person.....etc
(Man, my brain can't process all these.............. maybe I should leave this part to Jason)

3. Three pointer : I feel that this is very important, too. As a big guy (in the chinese community), I should learn my never-make-it hook shot first. But I kinda consider myself as a shooter according to how I play(I don't wanna be consider as a shooter actually). On 3 pointers, I'm starting to get the feel of it, but I want to make more. I mean, I don't wanna feel like I'm shooting random out-of-range shots. I hate it when people does that so I don't wanna be one of them. Once again, use my legs legs legs legs legs legs legs.

And hey guys, it's really fun to play with you guys. I mean, REALLY fun!!! I feel that I've improved a little (I want MORE). I've said it 10 times and I have to say it again. My basketball passion went away but You (Tim) and You (Jason) really ignites me. I hope you guys have fun playing with me, too.

p.s. Now if you ask me what jersey I wanna get, I think I wanna buy Nash's jersey with orange (my 2nd fav color) and gray (matches so well with orange). But I don't know what size should I get, hahaha Fatty.

p.s.2.  Hmm... am I saying stuff that I've said before? I mean, writing so long but have I said it before? Gosh~~~ my brain is kinda dead lately.
