Lakers Lose Game 4
Wow, seriously way to go Lakers, blowing a 24-point lead. Boston defense pretty much shut down the Lakers and Kobe in the second half.
Kobe Bryant Better Than Michael Jordan? HELL NO!
I just saw this article on the NBC Sports website:
Better than MJ? Kobe enters the debate
I’m sorry, Kobe is a great player and I think he’s the best all-around player in the league today but he does not replace Michael Jordan as the greatest player ever. Anyone familiar with Jordan’s various accomplishments and statistics knows that Kobe does not stack up.
2008 NBA Playoffs Conference Semi-Finals So Far
Just like the first round, the East still doesn’t have anything interesting. All the more entertaining games are in the West where the basketball just feels like it’s on a different level. Three of the four series going on are tied up although I wanted both the Lakers and Hornets to win their respective Game 4’s.
2008 NBA Playoffs 1st Round
Dallas Mavericks v. New Orleans Hornets
Has anyone ever seen Dallas exhibit any kind of sportsmanship when losing? I certainly haven’t in the last few years and that’s why I’ve always hated the Mavericks and the people on that team. They just give off a very thuggish vibe. Most of the time they resort to something like the crap that happened last night when Jason Kidd committed a dangerous Flagrant 2 foul on Janerro Pargo of the Hornets. It was right for him to get ejected, something like that could’ve caused serious injury since Pargo got flipped and was heading down head first.
NBA Playoffs 2007 Update
Man, the Spurs v. Suns series is brutal! And Nash seems to be taking the brunt of it. There is definitely a lot of animosity between these two teams. For me, this series has cast a very dark shadow on the Spurs. Bowen is just despicable. What Horry did at the end of Game 4 was completely unnecessary! Now I’m rooting for the Suns to go all the way. I especially want them to win the next game. That would be the sweetest revenge but it’s going to be very difficult with both Stoudemire and Diaw out (unfair suspensions, but rules are rules). I was rooting for Golden State but yesterday’s loss was so disappointing.
Hooray for Golden State
I didn’t want to say too much about this because I didn’t want to jinx anything but.. HAHAHAHA Dallas Mavericks and Dirk Nowitski, you suck! GS all the way! This was the best series and most fun to watch so far. Man, those 3-pointers are like daggers! Who wants to watch the Eastern conference play slow basketball and miss shots? BORING. Like the East even has a chance at the championship. Tell me which team in the East can keep up with 120 point games or 30 point quarters.
Okay, this post is a little incoherent but I just wanted to chime in on how the Warriors rule for beating Dallas. Congrats to Golden State and Nellie.
Possible Kevin Garnett Trade
Wow, just a few days ago, I was talking to my housemate while we were watching a horrible Houston Rockets game and I said that Kevin Garnett should just slack off until the Timberwolves agree to end his contract or trade him.
Then KG goes on TNT and expresses discontent about the Wolves and Kevin McHale. And now there are murmurs that KG could be traded to New York or Detroit! That’s really exciting news to me. On the one hand, the Knicks SUCK (I lost faith in my home town team a long time ago with good reason) and could probably use a superstar like Garnett. But then again his talents would be wasted because the Knicks just don’t have enough to be a championship caliber team.
Now on the other hand, Detroit is an awesome team. The Pistons have been my favorite team since they whooped the Lakers 2 years ago. The Pistons are very well rounded with both strong starters and bench players. And they’ve got great defense. Detroit is very likely to make it to the finals again, if not win the championship. The rumors are that Pistons would trade Rasheed Wallace and Darko Milicic. It would be sad to see Rasheed go but he’s being replaced by the 2004-2005 league MVP with at least 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists per game. Those stats speak for themselves.
If KG goes to Detroit, the Pistons would be unstoppable. Garnett perfectly complements the Pistons. It’s not like the former Lakers or today’s Miami Heat, where they have a bunch of stars that can’t play together. The Pistons don’t have to make major changes to their style of play to accommodate Garnett. But right now it’s all speculation, we’ll have to wait and see what unfolds.
The Detroit Pistons Rippin It Up
Well the NBA season has started and I’d like to discuss the double header on TNT tonight.
I just noticed the title of this post sort of has a pun - you know.. Rip Hamilton.. ripping it up.. ok, whatever. Well the Detroit Pistons beat the Phoenix Suns tonight 111-104. Man, that score doesn’t even look like a Pistons game, especially since they have the best defense in the NBA (screw the Spurs). The Pistons are still my favorite team since they whooped the Lakers. And they’re undefeated thus far. Good things, good things. Flip Saunders is doing a great job, I think he can take the Pistons to another level. I’m glad there were no big shakeups in their lineup. Don’t fix what’s not broken. The Pistons have something great and I’m glad they’ve improved even more.
Detroit Pistons Can Still Win
6/24/05 EDIT: Well, the Pistons lost. They had a good chance though. Hamilton just wasn’t hitting the shots. Rasheed got into foul trouble. And I don’t even want to start with Lindey Hunter. He needs to get traded or waived IMMEDIATELY. They broke apart after their 9-0 run. Sigh.. pretty entertaining finals though.
I HATE Robert Horry. This guy single handedly beat the Pistons in Game 5. The first 3 quarters didn’t even matter. This guy went on a tear. MAN I hate that guy.
