I resume blogging here simultaneous with the opening of one of the most anticipated NBA season in recent memory - the NBA 2010 - 2011 its 65th season. On a sad note at that as Phoenix lost to the Portland Trail Blazers, 106 - 92.

As usual, I'm rooting for the Phoenix Suns to do well even if making the playoffs is unlikely in the demanding Western Conference.

I was in pins and needle as I monitored the Suns opener against the Portland Trailblazers on the net. Smiling on the time that they took the lead but quickly surrendered it and eventually losing to the Nicolas Batum led Blazers, 106 - 92.

Captain Steve had a lot of turnovers. I guess even the great Canadian needs adjustment in setting the tempo for his new teammates.

Well, even the much heralded Miami Heat lose their opening game of the season. Go Suns!

Here's the Final Four of the UAAP Season 73 Men's Senior's Basketball Tournament.

I can't wait to see who will prevail among this four teams and reach the finals of UAAP Season 73 Basketball. Barring any upsets, I am putting my bet on an FEU vs Ateneo final.

And since I am a small guy, I am rooting for RR Garcia leading the Tamaraws to a long overdue championship.

Hedo Turkoglu and the hometeam Turkey, shot their way to the quarterfinals over error-prone France, 95 - 77 in the FIBA World Basketball Championships.

Much to the delight of over 15, 000 fans cheering them all game long, Turkey unleashed its attack bridging the middle quarters. They shot great from the outside and capitalized on France's turn overs and missed shots.

Main gunner Turkoglu was hitting in all places, finishing with 20 points. The turks won despite Ersan Ilyasova's pedestrian game.

It was kinda disappointing for France because they showed promise after upsetting defending world champion Spain in the group elimination phase.

Turkey will next face Slovenia.

I saw this video from one of my favorite blogs and I can't stop being amazed. Arguably, the world's farthest basketball shot ever converted at estimated 140 feet.

Thanks to Chico for this.
