Making you love the internet, keeping you away from everything else.

I really regret that I did not pick Nowitzki for my fantasy roster this year and went for Carmelo Anthony. I honestly believe that is the worst decision I’ve ever made.

Anyway, I’m still pushing on getting him back to my roster. I’m offering everything just to win him back. He’s been always my first pick forever and I’m not sure what hit my head during the recent draft. Alright! he’s my man crush.

Nowitzki is the man. He’s an all around player. I mean, he’s the rarest kind in the NBA. At 7’0″, he shoots 3′s, drive through opponents, slams to basket, everything. He’s an offensive player, but is also sometimes earn credits for his defensive skills. In his last game against Utah Jazz, he scored 40 points, most of them he made in the fourth quarter. He has scored more than 20 points in his last 29 games including this one.

Manny Pacquiao – Miguel Cotto fight is gonna be on November 14th. Both camps are doing so well in terms of training. And I’m sure, both fighters have the same feeling when it comes to who’s gonna win. Of course they have to believe in themselves and all we have to do is wait for the result, come the fight night, whose dream will come true.

Mo Twister interviewed the hall of famer trainer, Freddie Roach. He’s the person most responsible in molding Pacquiao’s being as a boxer. He’s been awarded few times as the Best Trainer of the Year and he was on the show today.

The interview only went on for nine minutes but it was the best one I’ve ever heard. Freddie talked about the training regimen, the difference of training in Baguio and US. Asked about how Pacquiao will knock out Miguel Cotto, getting him in the 1st round is part of their game plans. He also talked about what he likes about Manny in terms of skills. He was also asked a mythical question, who would Freddie like for Pacquiao to fight from the legends. Among other things, he also talked about how he and Manny could have ended a fight if he was to fight with him during his prime.

There’s a lot more they talked about in the 9 minutes interview and I don’t want to keep you waiting. Here’s your chance to listen to it.

Dominique Wilkins was on the show the other day, and if you wonder why the hell he’s here is because they are touring all across Asia for some basketball fun. Yeah, they pretty much miss the basketball very much. After the Philippines, I heard they will visit Japan and Korea as well, among others.

Together with D. Wilkins are other NBA retired superstars such as Vlade Divac, Kareem Abdul Jabar, Tim Hardaway, and Robert Horry. If you’re not a basketball fan, you might probably don’t have any idea who they are.

The event will happen tonight at the Araneta Coliseum. Tickets are available at the venue for as low as 264 Php. I heard the NBA retires will meet the PBA retires including Alvin Patrimonio, Ronnie Magsanoc and Benjie Paras, but take it with grains of salt. I am not sure.

This event is also airing LIVE tonight at CS 9, at 7:30 in the evening. And for those who are in the other part of the globe with internet connection, you may watch them the game live as well via TeamPilipinas.info.

Good Times With Mo always brings very interesting topics everyday, as well as exciting guests, local and international.

Today we had Coach Erik Spoelstra, current Head Coach for Miami Heat. He is the first ever Asian head coach in the NBA, as well as the first Asian head coach in any North American Sports Team. Now, it’s something for Pinoy to be proud about, isn’t it?

Mo Twister performed the interview with Erik Spoelstra and other Miami Heat personnel and man, do we got another nicest interview in the history of radio. Mo Twister always does it. He’s best at it.

Points we learn from the interview:
Height does not matter too much. Even if you’re small like me and Mo and has the passion for basketball, just give your team every support you can give and you will get your spot.
The most annoying behaviour of a player is not getting back on defence as quick as possible.
Miami Heat lost the first 2 games and get back with four (4) straight wins against the Dallas Mavericks in 2006 NBA Finals, in case you don’t know that.
Mo asked about what coaches tell the game officials that usually causes a technical against the team but I can’t remember what Erik said. Probably some curse words that officials can’t bear.
Erik Spoelstra is very much interested of coaching the Team Philippines if there’s a chance. He’ll be more than happy to do that and willing to provide any help he can.

That’s all my memory can serve for now. If you guys have something to add or change on this post, just head on to the comments section.

The Lakers grabbed the first win of the NBA Finals 2009 with a 25-point lead finish against the Orlando Magic. Kobe Bryant scored 40 strong points adding 8 rebounds and 8 assists to win the game. He played for 37 minutes and 58 seconds on their first game.

This is the same as what Mo Twister was saying few days ago when a caller asked about who’s gonna take the first win. He said he has no doubt with Magic’s skills specially on Superman’s. He knows he is strong and unstoppable sometimes. But he also put a stress on Kobe Bryant being well-rested for few days. He’s been a Lakers fan for a long time and he had witnessed how Kobe performs from a break. No, it’s not what you’re thinking.

On the other side, Orlando Magic totaled 75 points in the first game. The Lakers executed their defense plan very well, limiting Howard to only 12 points with an Offensive Foul on Pau Gasol. It also seems like Jameer’s comeback is not as lucky, basketing only 6 points. He’s been on the court for 23:28.

Lakers vs. Nuggets First-Half Highlights

The battle between the Lakers and the Nuggets was a tight one, having 2 wins each till game 4. Today, the Lakers loosen the knot a little bit as they win with a 103-94 in Game 5. Game 6 must be a do-or-die game for the Nuggets and as ‘goons-like’ they are, they certainly make any possible ‘clean’ tactics to tightens back the knot and to get a possible Game 7. Shall they win on Game 7, there’s a greater possibility that we will see the Nuggets in the Finals. Though I hope seeing Lakers.

It’s been a tough playoffs series for the LA Lakers. Denver Nuggets are too physical on the game, pushing everyone along their way. The Lakers hasn’t drop a single point lead as far as I know… Will they make it tonight?

Orlando Magic stole one game from the Cleveland Cavaliers as the game ended with a 1 point favoring the Magics. They were down with several points for most of the quarters but in the end, they wear big smile on their faces.

This is the first loss for the Cavaliers on the playoffs as they swept the First Round and the Semifinals, 4 to 0, against Detroit Pistons and Atlanta Hawks respectively. They are now 8-1 on the Playoffs.

Here’s the first half highlights video courtesy of NBA.

I’m not really sure when I became Dallas Mavericks’ fan, but when I think about it it sometimes seems I’ve been a fan all my life. The Dallas Mavericks is probably not a sounding team in the NBA but I’ve seen them in years and they’re a great team. If you’re gonna ask how much I know about the team, their records, their players names, please don’t because you probably know more than I do. I watch their games but believe me, after the game, I don’t even know the score. Just seeing them play is enough for me. And if they win, that’s a lot of extra.

They were in the playoffs this season. They lost the 2nd game against the San Antonio Spurs and went back 3 straight wins to the second round. But the second round against the Denver Nuggets is just not theirs. They lost first 3 games, bringing a bit of controversy in the 3rd game with a no-call-foul on Anthony’s last shot. But that happens in a game. They win on the 4th game and the 5th was the end. They exit the playoffs with a 4-1 favoring the Nuggets.

But I know it’s not really the end. I still believe they can come back with greater games in the next season. Dirk Nowitzki is their hero. Probably the best 7-footer player in the NBA history.

I want to leave you a video I’ve been watching again and again in YouTube. Lights Out, Nowitzki v McGrady. It’s a fantastic video and I hope you like it.
