Day 10 of the playoffs features another team advancing to the next round and that’s the LA Lakers who had an easy time against the Utah Jazz by beating them 107-86. Kobe Bryant was just on fire as he hit his threes, made his layups and dunks and also made his teammates look good. He finished the night with 31 points, 4 assists and 4 steals.

They almost let a 22 point lead slip away but it’s all over now as they await the winner of the Portland Trailblazers-Houston Rockets series.

We also saw the Atlanta Hawks get out of their recent slump and tie the series against the Miami Heat.
Zaza Pachulia was really big for the Hawks as he went on to score 12 points and grab 18 rebounds in their 81-71 victory. He was much needed as the Hawks, after winning the first game, has been struggling.

In this game, it was Dwayne Wade who was struggling as he finished with 22 points on 9-26 shots. There was practically no help from the other teammates except Jermain O’neal and James Jones, who has got to have the plays of the night by hitting (more…)

Apologies for the late posts the past two days since I was out of town and didn’t have any internet access. So what I will do here since most of you must have already read what happened in the games, I will just include the videos.

I feel bad that I had to miss the exciting games this weekend especially the game between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Orlando Magic. That series is turning into one of this year’s exciting match ups as we’ve seen two game winning plays by the 76ers. While the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Detroit Pistons match up is just plain boring. Good thing this guy named Lebron is exciting to watch but the match up itself is zzzzzzz.

Finally the New Orleans Hornets won a game but it wasn’t a convincing game that would really scare the Denver Nuggets. But a win is a win and they’ll take that and hopefully they could build momentum from that win. As for the LA Lakers, it looks like they’re back on track after losing a game to the Utah Jazz.

One of the match ups I like this year is that of the Dallas Mavericks and the San Antonio Spurs. I’m rooting for the Mavericks here even if they indirectly ousted my favorite team, the Phoenix Suns. Miami Heat, after losing the first game, looks to have found the solution to beat the young Atlanta Hawks. Dwayne Wade has been playing well and so is playoff veteran Jermain O’neal.

So sit back, relax, grab your favorite drink and enjoy watching the videos: (more…)

Boston Celtics, Utah Jazz and the Dallas Mavericks prevail

Day 6 of the NBA Playoffs featured two blownout games and one exciting game that went down the wire. Derrick Rose was also awarded the Rookie of the year honors just prior tip off but like the award he got, he played like a rookie tonight unlike the other games. We also saw how the Mavericks crushed the San Antonio Spurs. As for Kobe Bryant’s back? It was really affecting him. (more…)

In Day 4 of the 2009 NBA Playoffs saw an almost 29-point comeback by the Detroit Pistons in the fourth quarter. This was after Lebron James had worn his warmups only to come back in the game to help his team finish the Pistons off 94-82. In the 2nd game, the Utah Jazz played a better game but still lost the game to Kobe Bryant and the LA Lakers 119-109. As for the Portland Trailblazers, they finally found a way to win in the playoffs as they beat the Houston Rockets 107-103. (more…)
