I’d like to congratulate the Orlando Magic for beating the odds and of course, the Cleveland Cavaliers in six games. I’m sure that they’re celebrating before they plan for their Finals showdown against the Los Angeles Lakers. They’ve overcome a lot in this playoff and they deserve it. But I’m not sure Hedo Turkoglu will really overcome (more…)
With minutes left in the first game between the LA Lakers and the Denver Nuggets, it sure looked like the Nuggets could hold on and stop their ten game playoff losing streak against the Lakers. That looked possible until Kobe Bryant and Trevor Ariza took over.
Kobe, who finished with 40 points, made six free throws in the last thirty seconds to help the Lakers escape the Nuggets 105-103. Ariza also played big down the stretch as he (more…)
I’m just excited for this year’s conference finals as we see two new teams – the Orlando Magic and the Denver Nuggets. The Magic will be facing Lebron James and the rest of the Cleveland Cavaliers while the Nuggets will go head to head with Kobe Bryant’s Los Angeles Lakers.
Here are my predictions: (more…)
Everyone knew that the Denver Nuggets were going to be an emotional team coming into game 5 of their series with the Dallas Mavericks. This was after the off court incident between Kenyon Martin’s mom Lydia Moore and Mavs owner Mark Cuban. It was settled as Cuban apologized but the Nuggets had to settle something else. They had to finish the series. (more…)
After having so many awards and accomplishments this year, Lebron James deservingly gets another award or should I say another sweep. This time he has been voted by all the 122 sportswriters and broadcasters around the league to be in the first team All NBA.
It’s just fitting as he is the NBA’s best player right now, he is the MVP. He led the Cleveland Cavaliers to the best record in the NBA and has been sweeping teams left and right. He also was second in the league in scoring with 28.4 while also ranking top 10 in both assists and steals. (more…)
The Orlando Magic were beaten by Glen “Big Baby” Davis’ buzzer beater in game 4 and they wanted to make sure they didn’t have any more close finishes in this series against the Boston Celtics. Well, that didn’t happen in Game 5 as they blew a 14-point fourth quarter lead and make it close again in the final minutes of the game. The Celtics won 92-88.
The Celtics can thank Stephon Marbury (more…)
The Cleveland Cavaliers just became the first team to go undefeated in the first round since the 2005 Miami Heat. They swept the Detroit Pistons in the first round and they just beat the Hawks 84-74 to sweep the series in the second round.
Lebron James, as usual, was just in another level but this time not in scoring but in getting his teammates involved. (more…)
It looks like the Boston Celtics just love an exciting finish to their games as they finished game 4 with a buzzer beater by Glen “Big Baby” Davis to win 95-94.
No one on the court would have guessed that Big Baby was going to take the last shot as the ball was originally with Paul Pierce but he got doubled. (more…)
Carmelo Anthony is just big time as he hit a three pointer with one second left to escape the Dallas Mavericks 106-105. It was a controversial win as (more…)
Heading into game three without Jameer Nelson or Rafer Alston, the Orlando Magic looked like a team that would lack leadership with a thin back court. No worries as 34-year old veteran Anthony Johnson did his job to help the Magic win 117-96 to take a 2-1 lead in the series.
Of course, the Orlando Magic wasn’t just about the back court, they were more of their one man front court – Dwight Howard. He was everywhere on defense – rebounding and blocking shots. He finished the game with 17 points, 14 rebounds and 5 blocks. (more…)
