It is a 99.9% sure thing that the first name being called in the coming June 28 NBA Draft is Andrew Bogut, a 7 footer white Center from Utah. It seems that the Bucks, who own the first overall pick and desperately need help in the middle, will gamble on the Aussie big fella after all. The coming draft is consider a weak one, and Marvin Williams, a freshman from North Carolina, is widely regarded as the only potent threat to Bogut. However, with a relatively poor workout by Williams, words are that the Bucks have already decided to use the pick on the 2005 Naismith and Wooden awards winner born in Melbourne, Australia.

Here is an interview report disclosed in hoopshype.com:

Bogut looks like the man

Speaking of Big Aussie Center, anyone still remember Longley? Yes, Luc Longley, the starting Center for the invinciBULLS in mid 90s'. Hope that Bugut is far better than Longley anywhere... but I remember that Longley was picked early in 1991 draft as well (No. 7 overall, by Minnesota).

Believe it or not, the Pistons beat the Spurs in game 6! Oh yes! Larry Brown's bad boys spanked Popovich hard in Alamodome, a heroic 95-86 feat that send the series to the final Derby which will take place on 23th of June EDT. I was at first unaware of the game, thought that it was supposed to play on tomorrow (22th June EDT), but surprisingly perceived the news on Yahoo! Sports when I finally have time to dawdle a bit after a few interview sessions with candidates who apply for job vacancies in my department. I have not watched the game yet, but will definitely do so when the ESPN rebroadcast the game tomorrow (they would, wouldn't they?).

The reason behind my amazement of the result is, with the better team roster and home court advantage, and most importantly, the confidence of being able to smash the Pistons at home as they have done in game 1 and 2, I was firmly convinced that the Spurs had killed the Pistons already in Detroit when they won game 5 and come back to San Antonio with a 3-2 lead. Popovich himself was so sanguine that he decided to give a one-day break to the Spurs for relaxation before game 6. Well, it turns out that, we should never underestimate the heart of a champion. Especially the warriors as tough as the bad boys are. Don't get me wrong, I still believe the Spurs WILL win the rings, but this time, instead of 60-40, I would say that it is more like 52-48 now. Watch out for the Ginobili's revenge.

I believe most of you heard Pachelbel's Canon in D. Some of you might heard it in the Korean romantic comedy "My Sassy Girl", in the scene when the girl (JEON Ji-Hyeon) play with her piano in a hall while Gyeon-Woo (CHA Tae-Hyeon) approaching her with a rose in hand.

Anywhere, have you ever heard a rock version of Canon? Here is a clip play by a Taiwanese guitarist JerryC.

Some rumors said that Peja Stojakovic is going to leave Sacramento Kings next Season to join L.A. Lakers. I don't buy it. I don't belive Peja would like to play along with Kobe Bryant, if fact, I believe nobody does. With Vlade Divac retiring after next season if not earlier, there is no reason for Peja to join the Lakers.
