After a historic game #4 meltdown, the L.A. Lakers fought back to win game #5. They still face a monstrous uphill climb, having to win two games in one of the toughest arenas in the NBA. I will always ride or die with my Laker boys as long as they play hard and fight. Go Lakers!
The Lakers won a must win Game #3 last night, thanks to the MVP and the Machine. Professor Tracey and Mr. Shadow 33 thankfully do not have to panic at this time!
The Lakers better play with a sense of urgency tonight or they will be in BIG trouble with the Boston Celtics. Paul Pierce was the man in game #1 and this sista was quite proud of her California homeboy's performance. Kobe will need to bring the MVP magic tonight for the Lakers not to be on the ropes for the 2008 NBA title.
Go Lakers! Good Luck in the upcoming finals!
The NBA referees had a big say in the final outcome of game #4 of the Western Conference Finals between the L.A. Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs. The referees missed two calls on both ends of the floor. The Lakers should have retained the ball at the end of the game to prevent the second missed call where Derek Fisher fouled Brent Barry. Oh well, it was a good game until the referees screwed it up. The Lakers now have a 3-1 lead going into tomorrow's game.
The Lakers have taken a commanding lead in the Western Conference Finals, but they should not expect the defending champions to roll over on their home court. My boys need to keep playing hard! Go Lakers!!!!!!!
Professor Tracey hates the Spurs and really hates her L.A. Lakers losing to the Spurs. I was practically tearing my hair out with the sad first half the Lakers played. Everyone looked like they were sleepwalking. I was beside myself when the Lakers got down by 20 points in the third quarter, but I keep watching and cheering. The 2008 MVP Kobe Bryant went to work and the Lakers made their mega-comeback! Go Lakers!!!!!!
As a sidebar, Professor Tracey will not be watching any more of the Boston Celtics/Detroit Pistons series. Game #1 had me in a complete coma! Boring!!!!!!!! I don't really care who wins, I am kinda rooting for the Celtics.
Even though, I know they will drive my L.A. Lakers batty in the western conference finals, I am strongly pulling for Chris Paul and the New Orleans Hornets to win tonight. Everyone keeps waiting on them to lose and I just love that they keep winning!!!! Go CP3!!!!!
Killa' Kobe and tha boyz closed out the Utah Jazz. Spurs or Hornets next! Go Lakers!!!!
My L.A. Laker Boys are up 2-0 on the Utah Jazz, heading into two games where the Jazz hang tough with the home floor. Let's hope the Lakers can steal one of the games up there.
My boy Chris Paul and the rest of the New Orleans Hornets are making the San Antonio Spurs look old as hell! If the Hornets win tonight and go up 3-0, this series is over.
I will feel sorry for Kevin "Big Ticket" Garnett, but I am really pulling for the Atlanta Hawks to upset the Boston Celtics tomorrow. It's definitely, a big tall wish, but I'm pulling for the young brothers of the Atlanta Hawks.
My Los Angeles Lakers have crushed the Denver Nuggets to take a commanding 3-0 lead. Looks like Carmello and A.I. are going to have a nice long summer to add more tattoos to their bodies.
The Houston Rockets despite winning one game over the weekend, just can't beat the Utah Jazz. I wanted Tracy McCrady to win his first playoff series, but it's all but certain that he will be helping Yao with his injury rehab early. The San Antonio Spurs have just kicked the backsides of the Phoenix Suns. Shaq Diesel and company need to win today to keep from being swept, but they are going to lose the series either way.
The Atlanta Hawks won a great game last night, finally looking like a professional team, but they are going to lose their series as well. The Boston Celtics are just too good and the Hawks were taunting folks at the end of the game. You don't piss off KG and the boys in green. The most boring series is the Orlando Magic and the Toronto Raptors. The Magic have a 3-1 lead and the Raptors lost even after a monster game from Chris Bosh. The Raptors will soon be extinct.The Dallas Mavericks got back into their series with the New Orleans Hornets but I believe that my boy Chris Paul and company will bounce back strong.
The other boring series is the Cleveland Cavaliers and The Washington Wizards. It's no fun watching LeBron James carrying his team all by himself and it's no fun watching the Wizards trying to smash James. It's just not pro basketball to me. I'll ride with the Wizards for my boy, Caron Butler, but I don't think they can beat King James. They just can't stop pissing him off. Don't they know that you don't tug on Superman's cape? I picked the Philadelphia 76ers to beat the Detroit Pistons, but I was having a fantasy. I didn't know the Piston would actually entertain my dreams. Go 76ers!!!!!
Hawks fans don't get mad at me. Mike Bibby is my man, always has been since he came into the league, but the Hawks are getting embarrassed by the Celtics. You just don't get blown out in the playoffs back-to-back like that. My man Bibby has spent more time on the floor than putting the ball in the basket. It's painful to watch.
It was an awesome weekend of NBA basketball. Even though I picked the Suns to win the series, the Spurs double overtime victory was the best game of the weekend. Chris Paul was amazing in helping the Hornets kick the butts of the Mavericks. As was Pau Gasol helping my Lakers smash the Nuggets.
The Celtics demolished the Hawks, the Jazz killed the Rockets and the Raptors got ran over by the Magic, all three games were boring as hell. The Wizards talked trash and roughed up King James, but forgot to win the game as the Cavaliers prevailed. And dreams do come true because the 76ers upset the Pistons.
Can't wait until the next round of games.
I hate the fact that I have to pick my favorite team over my favorite player, but A.I. is going fishing after the first round! My L.A. Lakers boys all the way over Denver Nuggets.
My other first round picks -
New Orleans over Dallas
Houston over Utah
Phoenix over San Antonio
Boston over Atlanta
Washington over CLeveland
Philadelphia over Detroit - (I can dream can't I?)
Orlando over Toronto
What are your picks for the playoffs?
