Lakers 111, Jazz 96 (Lakers win series 4-0)
This series was over before it started, and none of us really even knew it.
After their opening series shocker (yes, shocker) versus Oklahoma City, the Lakers have flicked the switch and turned it on. Question is, will Phil Jackson allow them to turn it off?
In Game 4 in Salt Lake City, the Lakers came out on a mission. They were not planning to play another game in this series and the Jazz probably didn’t expect such a push by LA. The Lakers never …
Magic 98, Hawks 84 (Magic win series 4-0)
The Magic pulled out to a 25-15 during the first quarter and never looked back. The Magic assaulted the Hawks with sixteen three pointers and were led by Vince Carter’s 22 points. The Hawks were able to keep Superman, Dwight Howard, under control (13 points, 8 rebounds, 7 turnovers) but were killed by the rest of the Magic. Atlanta had no one, including Mike Bibby (11 minutes and 4 points) that could cover Jameer Nelson who finished with 16 points and 9 assists.
The …
Phoenix 107, San Antonio 101 (Suns win series 4-0)
I am in shock. I think the entire NBA world is in shock.
From the series history between these two teams the experience, the rings, the cunning, all of these intangibles favoring the Spurs, it didn’t mean anything. Phoenix came into this series struggling to get by an injury riddled Portland Trailblazers team. I thought this would be an easy series for Spurs. I picked them to win in five and had countless statistics and history to back my prediction. I demeaned ‘The …
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Celtics 97, Cavaliers 87 (Series tied 2-2)
Let’s start with some simple facts about this game.
Rajon Rondo had 29 points, 18 rebounds, and 13 assists in this game. This has to vault him into talks of being one of the better point guards in the league. Looking at his stats you can tell he had a big game, but watching thebeginning of the fourth quarter, my Dad told me it looked like he was Usain Bolt, and the rest of the players were handicapped. The Celtics were leading 2 …
LA Lakers 111, Utah 110 (Lakers lead 3-0)
What an ending. It was a solid game before the last 3:00, but seriously, what a #@$!-ing ending.
It’s amazing. ABC illustrated had badly Kobe was playing in the 4th quarter, and history tells us, when this occurs, the opposing team wins. Kobe must have seen the demographic because he did what Kobe does best shortly thereafter.
For a period of 2 1/2 minutes, nobody could make a basket. It was brick city. Even the Jazz fans were getting restless. Action was needed. A Bango the …
Magic 105, Hawks 75 (Magic lead 3-0)
I’m starting to think the Atlanta Hawks have a phobia of passing the second round, and a phobia of even showing up in the second round.
For the second straight year, the Hawks are on the verge of being swept out of the playoffs in the conference semifinals after their 105-75 loss to the Orlando Magic. You may recall Atlanta not even showing up last year against Cleveland too. A 30-point loss has become less of a surprise, despite coming in Atlanta, due to the …
Disclaimer: This post will have nothing to do with Los Suns, but simply the Suns. Oh yeah, and it is just about 100% focused on the man of the hour – Goran Dragic.
Suns 110, Spurs 96 (Suns lead 3-0)
Steve who? – Suns coach Alvin Gentry
It seems cliché to say a professional athlete played ‘the game of his life’. Sometimes it’s just a really good game and that line is simply overused. Other times its taking what was a decent game and making it into something it really wasn’t. In the …
