The Blake Griffin Show

Lebron James is now a villain, Melo-trade-drama is out of control, Kobe and the Lakers look vulnerable and the league's #1 team looks boring as ever (nope, not my favorite C's of course).

Sorry Dwight Howard, this guy is the most exciting dunker now.

Came Blake Griffin, the #1 pick of the 2009 draft doing highlight dunks every night. Remember back in 2008 when I wrote (http://garysuguitan.blogspot.com/2008/12/great-sporting-week.html) about this guy? An athletic Carlos Boozer is not enough to describe this guy's game now. He is like Shawn Kemp (during his Sonics days) who throws it down very hard and knows how to entertain.

College basketball was frequently televised than NBA in Afghanistan and his college team, Oklahoma Sooners, was always the one being shown. I love watching the guy dunking every opportunities he have. I just can't imagine a white guy doing those ridiculous throwdowns.

Bring back the memories of 2009 draft. I think now there is no contest who the #1 pick should be. Forget Ricky Rubio, Blake is the new guy in town and in 5 years, if he stays healthy, will be the face of the NBA along with King James, Kevin Durant, D-Wade and Melo.

If you don't believe it, catch a Clipper's game to experience. LA is not for Lakers anymore, hahaha.

Carmelo Anthony's trade rumors to New Jersey Nets already put to complete rest. So who will catch up to make the most enticing offer to Denver for this guy?

We won't see a #15 in Nets in the near future.

Can't wait to have my Melo's Nugget jersey to antique. Hahaha.

NBA 2010-11 season is already half way and here are my early favorites to win.

NBA Champions - My C's still a team to beat. Even without Perkins, they still manage to be a key defensive team. As long as they stay healthy, they can win it all. The hated Lakers is catching up in form lately as expected. Can't wait for another Celtics-Lakers Finals. Sorry Miami an San Antonio, not yet fully realise your potentials.

MVP - King James is still putting up impressive numbers (25-7-7) as of Toronto's game. Still MVP-worthy numbers considering playing alongside MVP candidates as well D-Wade and Chris Bosh. Derrick Rose is making a strong case and his #3 rank Bulls is a big surprise to me.

The best point in the NBA now?

ROY - Blake Griffin is the man. It's his award to lose.

Coach - Bull's Tom Thibodeau will be a favorite to win it. The architect of the C's perennial defense is a coaching guru.

Unang Paramdam sa 2011

Long time no update. Bakit nga ba? Well, nung nasa Jakarta pa kami eh sobrang bagal ng internet dun at syempre kasama ko si misis. Ngayon lang ulit ako mag uupdate para naman kahit papaano eh may bago.

***

Nakauwi na kami from Jakarta last Jan 4 pa. Yes, thank you Lord dahil naayos namin lahat ng problema namin. God is good talaga kasi sinurrender lang namin lahat sa Kanya at nalaman na lang namin na isa isa nang naaayos. Thank you Lord!

***

Sorry din Lord kasi nagresign ako sa work. Back in early November, lagi ko pinagpray na makuha ko yun work sa Indonesia kasi malapit lang. Binigay nyo naman pero ako naman yun umayaw.

Sana by the time na ready na ulit ako magwork eh, wag naman work ang tumanggi sa kin.

***

Thank you Jakarta kasi first time namin ni Belle na lumabas ng bansa together. Enjoy ang shopping sa Bandung at ang saya ng Safari. Thanks din kay Mitch and sa family sa all-out support mula ng dumating ako sa Jakarta. Malaking utang na loob talaga yun. Thank you!

Buti pa sa Huawei, nakuha ko na agad ang sweldo ko ng December pero sa GTL hindi pa din. Biruin mo eh October salary ko pa ang hinihintay ko. Almost 3 weeks na nung naisoli ko yun ID pero up to now, ala pa din ang aking sweldo. Sayang din yun at dagdag budget sa pang uwi ng Ilocos. Sana ibigay na.

***

Dun kami nagspend ng Christmas at New Year sa Jakarta. Thank you ulit kay Mitch kasi naging masaya din ang celebration kahit maikli lang. Ang mahalaga eh nasalubong namin ito.

New Year 2011

Thank you Lord for a great 2010. Sobrang daming blessings like natapos ko contract ko sa Afghan, nakabili ako ng bahay, nagkawork ako sa Ayala (dream ko kasi dati na magwork dito hehehe), nakawork din ako sa Jakarta with Belle at ang aming little Gary coming up. Madami pa ibang like good health sa family at everyday na magkakasama kami. Thank you Lord sa lahat ng blessings!

Tambay mode muna ako mula ng bumalik from Jakarta. Ala ako plans to work hanggang di pa nanganganak si Belle. Relax mode muna. Syempre PS3, kain, pasyal ang mode ng utak ko ngayon. Kelangan din mag aral para di mangamote. Hahaha.
