NBA
A few weeks ago I was salivating over the possibility of the Conference Finals matchups falling out like this: Spurs v. Suns and Heat v. Pistons. Now that those series are all over, here’s what I have to say about them: eh…
Both series just left you wanting something more and it’s all because of injuries.
From what I’ve been reading lately, I’d think that Antoine Walker was the one who pretended to find a human finger in the chili from Wendy’s or who faked his own abduction to avoid his upcoming wedding. Assuming there was a gender change in both stories, at least.
Basketball is only a game, a simple game actually. Take a ball, put it in the hoop, repeat. The game doesn’t solve life’s problems. The game doesn’t stop a war or feed hungry children or give shelter to the homeless. It’s simply a game. It shouldn’t mean as much to so many people as it does.
Reginald Wayne Miller is just man who could put a ball in a hoop. He shouldn’t mean as much to a franchise, a city, a state as he does. He shouldn’t be this important, but he is.
A hot topic these days is the age that athletes are allowed to come into the NBA. There are great points for both sides, all valid and both sides I can understand. For me though, I have to side with having an age limit
Despite all the controversy and bad blood that has been spilled throughout the season between the Indiana Pacers and the Detroit Pistons, both teams came together as one to say goodbye to an old friend Thursday night.
What is this world coming to? Would you actually believe it if someone told you that a number one lottery pick in the 2006 NBA Draft is not considering the money, but an education? Well, so far, that is what Greg Oden is considering, for now, yet this almost sounds too good to be true. Who knows, maybe there are people in the world actually like this?
Here’s hoping the NBA gives us what we want this time around.
I don’t want any upsets in the second round, and as weird as it sounds, I don’t even want any close games. I just want the favored teams to advance so we get Detroit-Miami and Phoenix-San Antonio in the respective Conference Finals, and I don’t want anything to interfere with that outcome.
Shaquille O’Neal was the obvious choice. Steve Nash got the MVP anyway. The race card has been pulled – and perhaps justifiably so.
You thought you’d seen it all in sports…I mean just this past weekend a 50-1 horse won the Kentucky Derby and was followed by a 70-1 for a heck of a trifecta and superfecta payout (No one won at an alarming payout of $1.7 million but I digress)…
Game 7 sure lived up to all the hype, huh?
Another Celtics’ season is officially in the books and an uncertain offseason has now begun, after the Green mailed in a 97-70 loss to the Indiana Pacers in the deciding game of their opening round playoff series. Danny Ainge may have assembled a talented mix of youngsters and veterans, but after watching that debacle, he and anyone rooting for this team (and quite frankly, anyone covering this team, as well) should be embarrassed.
