Ball Ballin' Preview: Desert Homecoming: The Return of the A'mare


Today's ballin' features 11 games including the much-awaited homecoming of the A'mare in the desert after the Sun's Game 6 demise to the Lakers. 


The Watcha-Balls (The Weekend-was-made-for-these games)


New York Knicks at Phoenix Suns
'Bron got booed, David Lee got some 'Thank you's but probably well be waiting how Phoenicians react as summer's biggest acquisition not named Lebron James or Chris Bosh makes an emotional return to US Airways Center. It'll be an emotional return for Amare, Arizona's offensive onslaught and instrumental for the Suns runner-up finish at the West. And something tells me its gonna be a long night in the desert when Amare's throw down the anvil on Gortat and Lopez.

New Orleans Hornets at Los Angeles Lakers
Back-to-back wins for the back-to-back defending champs. Ron-ron hitting like its Game 7  last June, the Renegades on full alert, Kobe shooting less than 25... Are things looking up for a three-peat? A three-peat is still far but a third straight win against CP3 and NOLA is within grasp. Meantime, 16 pts or more puts Mamba 9th on the All-time leading scoring ballers.


The Tolera-Balls (The Better-watch-than-never-on-a-weekend games)


Toronto Raptors at Boston Celtics

With the Big Ticket still on the mend, Rajondo, as our Chief calls it, showed no signs of rust with a 3D over West numero uno Spurs that included some Manong Jinnobili imprint on it. Raps, on the other hand, would rely on a healthy Bargs  to win consecutive games for the first time since last month.


Miami Heat at Milwaukee Bucks
There aint no excitement anymore as Red Florida keeps on ripping their opponent's head off and this match-up maybe no different. Jennings, Delfino and Gooden continue to be on the sidelines as Sgt Spoelstra and his Lonely Hearts Club try to hit a baker's dozen on the road.


San Antonio Spurs at Indiana Pacers
'Pathetic defense' as Pop's callin it was the culprit in Black Texas' recent 2-game skid over the Empire State of Mind and Rondoland, its first losing streak of the season. A skirmish with a struggling Pacers team can bring the Western leaders back on the winning track.

Houston Rockets at Orlando Magic
SVG and D12 look to get their epic eight victory against Red Texas whose on a 3-game skid. K-Mart dropped 45 in their last game, but wont have an easy time against Team Disney whose limiting their rivals to 90.2 pts in 6 previous outings. They play Blue Texas after tonight's showcase. On the lighter side, heard Yao went under the knife again. We certainly wish him the best of health in his recovery.  


The Forgetta-Balls (The Wish-it-wasnt-weekend games)


New Jersey Nets at Washington Wizards
After a 20-11 stint off the bench, Kris Humphries takes his Kardashian effect against the J-wall and the Wiz. D-Lightning, Brooke and The Machine hope to avoid a fifth road setback in a row against Capitol City  who's already missing Captain Kirk and J-Ho.


Chicago Bulls at Philadelphia 76ers
DRose got bamboozled when Thib benched Booze in the game's last 14mins in a heartbreaker against the Brooklyn-bound Nets. On the other side, Philly hopes to spread some more brotherlylovin as they keep it lock-on the 8th seed in the east after a disastrous 3-13 start.


Portland TImberwolves at Minnesota Timberwolves
20/20 games for Kevin Love is making some dubbed him as the Optometrist. What is only
clear in our eyes though is the losing Rambo and his 'Wolves are taking is not a pretty sight to behold.


Utah Jazz at Memphis Grizzlies
Paul Millsap's out with Memo out with a lower back strain as the Jazz travel to the FedEx forum trying to avoid back to back defeats. TA is slowly showing why he's the Griz man during the Summer of 'Bron with 29pts and 6 steals during the 2 game win streak. Mayo hopes to return from injury, but will the Griz gamble his health? Hey, are they even allowed to do that? Haha!


Cleveland Cavaliers at Golden State Warriors
GS startin to look healthy with Steph and Andris back in harness. Injuries to Boobie and AP wont help the Cavs as they try to avoid dropping 19 out of 20. Tough luck Dan Gilbert!
