Erik Spoelstra Visits the Philippines

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.

See you again MAVS!

dallas mavericksI’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.

Dallas Mavericks leads 3-1

dallas mavericksMy favorite NBA team took the 3-1 lead over San Antonio Spurs lat April 25th, but this isn’t a time to celebrate yet. The Mavericks has a bad history in terms of Playoffs game. They haven’t made it to the playoffs since 2006. During that postseason, Mavericks played on the final against Miami Heat. They lead the finals 2-0 but consecutively lost 4 games. During that postseason as well, they had a lot of struggles to advance the playoff against the same team San Antonio Spurs. What makes it even similar situation is that they also took 3-1 lead, and still the SAS was able to tie it up. Mavericks got game 7 via overtime.

I hope Mavericks has learned their lesson well and advance to the finals.
