Well, the NBA season has been pretty exciting, but we still have a ways to go before the NBA playoffs get here.
For this week, the Basketball Sherpa would like to focus on some college hoops, particularly Men's NCAA basketball hoops. There are bunch of good teams out there that have given the supposed 2009 March Madness Champion Tarheels a run for their money. Don't get me wrong, they still put on quite a show for anyone with UNC tickets is still getting a show, but I don't think they are anywhere near the lock to win it all as they were pre-season. Namely, Duke, Pitt, UConn, even Louisville are looking like they could be champs, and several other teams are waiting in the reeds for their chance to pounce.

Paul Pierce, on a mission to prove he belong in top five best player discussions, ended the Hawks streak with just 0.5 seconds left on the clock. Pierce saved his best play for the second half, when he scored 23 points and made 15 of 16 free throws. "The last play was drawn up: Get the ball to Pierce; get the hell out the way," said Garnett. "Superman's in the booth. Let's go home. That was the play, and if you don't believe that ask Doc Rivers and he'll say the same exact thing."

The Celtics once again were of to a slow start, a hallmark of this young season Doc Rivers would like to change. At one point in the second quarter the C's trailed by 16 points. The Celtics closed the second quarter with a 18-2 run that tied the game. The game remained close for the rest of the quarter until Piece made his shot. The win puts the C's home winning streak against the Atlanta Hawks at eight.

In what should be a relief to the Pistons fans, it looks like Allen Iverson is ready to talk about practice. Here's a clip that bring back the well-known Iverson press conference from Philadelphia in 2002. Detroit should be happy to see that Iverson can take a joke and is in fact willing to practice. Here a clip of Iverson's first press conference as a Piston.

Well we have the first major trade of the NBA season, and boy is a it a whopper. The Denver Nugget's Allen Iverson goes to the Detroit Pistons in exchange for Chauncey Billups, Antonio McDyess and Cheikh Samb. It a big move for both teams, and it will be fun to see how this plays out during the season.

Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony never did seem to be able to get the most out of each other. Both players are among the elite players in the NBA, but they just couldn't seem to translate their innate talents to wins on the floor. The trade shakes up both rosters and gives both teams something they needed.

The Basketball Sherpa has been patiently waiting for the return of basketball season, and it is finally here! I don't know about you but I simply cannot wait to see all the stars in action. There are so many incredible story lines to follow. How will Greg Oden play on a young and talented Blazers team? How will Kevin Durant and co. adapt to OKC. How will the Rockets and Ron Artest follow up last season? Can the Celtics keep their intensity going for another full season? How much more can we get out of Shaq and Steve Nash? How far will the Heat rise after last year's disappointment? How improved will the Sixers be with the addition of Elton Brand?
