NBA Finals
Tomorrow is the day where the rematch of the 2006 NBA finals start. Dirk vs the Big three. Speculation on weather wade is injured or not is still in the air, they say he's not but could that just be a cover up? He participated in full practice today and so did Jones, Miller, and Haslem, who were all out of practice because according to espn.com and Erik Spolstra guys were hitting to hard in Practice. Sometimes I wounder if that's the anger of some players toward other's. Now to the over look of the series, only about 3.125% of NBA fans are rooting for the Heat and about 96.875% are rooting for Dallas. I think its facetious when an NBA coach who was just beat by the Heat ( I'm talking about Doc Rivers who is the Celtics head coach) comes out and says "I hope they get murdered out there (In the Finals)" I mean come on dude they just beat you 4-1 in your series, have a little respect. When Espn asked Wade about how all the people out there are waiting for them to fail, he responded " Of course sometimes you take it personal but some things that are said, you just have to say really..really..really. Lebron will be the main factor of the series no doubt but he cant get the stuff the said about him being better than Jordan in his head. That's how they lost some of their games, by thinking their better and thinking they don't have to try as hard. I have no disbelief that the Heat won't win the series but lets try not to forget they don't just have Dirk they have a man that started with Miami over their and his name is Butler, o yea and Kidd who's the co-captain of the Mavs along with Dirk. But I think their bench is actually better than ours so on that note this series should be interesting.

Stop drop and Roll!
Heat pull of a remarkable 83-80 win over the Bull's. At the start of the fourth quarter the Heat bursted into flames causing everything around them to burn. You would think that Rose would know some common sense when you catch on fire and start to burn you have to STOP DROP AND ROLL. Congrats Miami the 2010-2011 Eastern Conference Champions. Lebron finished with 28, Wade with 21, and Bosh with 20. How can you stop three guy's who score 69 points on you. Now lets see what type of fire will catch on in the series in Dallas, my guess is something to the state of a blazing wild fire.

Replay of 06 Finals....
That's what it looks like, with the Mavs already in the Finals, and the Heat a game away from going into the Finals. Man, it would be great to see these two remarkable teams just fight punch for punch (not literally obviously) to win that gold plated trophy. But First the Heat have to get it together as theyre down 45 to 38 at the half. I highly doubt the fact that the Bulls can win 3 straight games against the Heat, so ya. The matchups wouldn't be fair Dirk against Bosh, Dirk wins. Berea or Kidd on Wade, Wade takes that. And Finally, Marion on Lebron, I think you can answer that your self. But who needs/ wants the ring more Lebron or Dirk. They both have final experience but the only difference is Lebron got swept by the Spurs and Well Dirk got dismantled by Wade in game 7. Should be a good series, but I take the Heat in 5. I mean Lebrons tat says he's the chosen one so I'll go with that.

The brink of extinction....of the playoffs
For todays win, the Canucks can thank Sami Salo, and Ryan Kesler for the win. Its incredible how these to players managed to score three goals in a remarkable one minute and fifty-five seconds. At one point, the Sharks had too many men on the ice, which gave Vancouver a chance to score yet another goal, and they do what they seem to be doing best lately CAPITALIZING.If Vancouver makes it to the Stanley Cup Finals, it will be the first time they go in 17 years. Vancouver won 4-2, and are up 3-1 in the series.

One All
With last nights major victory the Heat even the series up at one a piece. A major contribution to this success was Udonis Haslem. I think most people forgot how good this man is, He is a co-captain along with Dwyane Wade. Last night he put up 13 points and 5 rebounds. He has to be the most under-rated player in the entire NBA. Lebron who showed up big last night with 30 points said this about Udonis, "Big props to my man Udonis for coming up big last night!With two defenses like we got facing off, this is serious. Can’t wait for Sunday." With friends/teammates like this, this is how you win championships. If you have Lebron & Wade putting up 30 a night then, Bosh & Udonis putting 15 a night, No one can stop them.

Down One
Miami is down one game to none in Eastern Conference Finals. This is one of the first games that I have watched that the Bulls win without Rose scoring 30 pts or more. This game showed that they are still a little like the same old Heat that they were in the begining of the season. This was a reality check for the Heat. Ya they might look better on paper, but its hard to say who's better in person. They can't just blow games like this one, and for once they can't blame Chris Bosh he was actually productive, who had a playoff high 30 points. Heat lost by 21 points 103-82. I say with this very tough series its going to take 7 games.

Memphis who?
The Grizzlies have brought a serge of sports life to Memphis. Tonight they play OKC in game 6 and it could be elimination for them, but do I think it will be? NO, they have worked to hard to get this far, they have to come out with a sense of motivation. They should be able to contain Durant, and Perkins. They really need a good showing from Zach Randolph. Also they have to support the fans to get their minds of the tragic floods that have been going on in Memphis. Zach Randolph made the All NBA third team, and we can see why. I actually think Memphis wins the Series

Bye?
Is that what everyone could be saying Phil Jackson? And If so, what a horrible way to go out especially for a future hall of fame coach. He is the only coach to have 11 championship rings, some thanks to MJ. The Lakers got swept, I know it happened but who would ever think the Lakers, back to back champs would get swept. If you watched the game you would have saw that he actually punched Pau Gasol in the chest, he lost his cool. once he go home he must of cried because, all the hype they and the fans has saying crazy crap like "Three peat" it's gone. And how about their main man number two over there, Andrew Bynum he is suspended for the first five games of next years regular season. They were so bad in game four that the Mavs bench had more than their starters really feel like sending flowers to all the Laker fans saying sorry for your loss (of Phil Jackson).

Whats up with LA?
With last nights 98-92 loss to the Mavs, the Lakers are down three games to none in the in the Western Conference Semi-Finals. No team has ever come back from that deficient, but according to Kobe Bryant they must be different because he said,"I don't know, I might be sick in the head or crazy or thrown off or something like that because I still think we're going to win this series." That would be amazing because to see them play the Thunder (if they advance vs Memphis), would be a spectacular game. I think the big key to last nights loss was the absence of Artest, If he was in they could have used his 3-point shooting. Kobe can't do it himself with the lack of effort from the big men (mainly Pau Gasol). They lost these three games because of player to player match ups. I think LA can win but, they have to put all their heart into it!

Shaq to play Game 3
Well, after missing the first two games of the series vs Miami, Shaq is expected to play. Doc Rivers said that he expects everyone to ready in Game 3. Last game they got beat physically and mentally, with 5 players ( including Shaq) having injury's. Paul Perice strained his left Achilles, Ray Allen getting a bruised chest from Lebron, & Rondo & Jermaine O'Neal with back problems. From this perspective it doesnt look good for them to win game three in Boston. If they lose they might as well just give up on the series because no team in NBA history has come back from a 3-0 game defficent.

Sacramento? Kings
Yes, after much debate the King will stay in Sacramento. They where going to move to Anaheim, Calif but the plans fell threw. This gave mayor Kevin Johnson one more season to build a new arena, or else their out. The kings finished the season 24-58 which gives them the chance in the lottery to get another great player to fit around Evans and Cousins, Maybe someone like Kemba Walker who knows but maybe if they leave next season they can leave with some pride coming off a winning record.
