Lakers finish off Jazz

Finally a team has won on the road! The Lakers were looking good most of the game but the Jazz would not go down easy that is for sure. The Jazz made some great plays in the last 5 minutes but Kobe Bryant and the Lakers were just to much and hit most of their free throws in the clutch. Derek Fisher missed one with about 10 seconds left and the Jazz quickly got the rebound and passed it down court for a chance at a game tying 3 pointer. They had two tries at it but just could not get it to go down. So the Lakers win a tight series in 6 games. So who is next for the Lakers? Any predictions out there? Will the Hornets be able to hold off the defending champs in game 7 at home? I can't wait to watch that game!

Spurs and Hornets

Well the road woes continue with this series too as the Spurs easily handled the Hornets at home. It is getting harder to predict the outcome of this series but I do still like the Hornets chances at home in game 7. Man that was a cheap foul buy Horry on West! It looked like he stuck his elbow in there pretty good. He should have recieved a technical foul for that too.

I am looking forward to seeing what happens in game 6 at Cleveland. If the pattern continues and I have no reason to believe it won't, Lebron and the Cav's will force a game 7. Same goes for the Jazz and the Laker series, is there something in the visiting locker rooms water or what?

Lakers, Celtics take 3-2 leads....Hornets try to close it out.

The Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics both had to win at home last night and both did just that. Kobe only took 10 shots which was a shocker to me! Gasol played great and the Lakers held off the Jazz in a close game at the Staples center. If you are a Laker fan you must have been nervous as it was a close one at the end! I think this one will go 7 games as it seems that home court is a big advantage in this years playoffs.

The Celtics did what they had to do as well and take care of their precious home court. Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Rajon Rondo played great, the difference was Rondo in my opinion as he had 20 points and 13 assists and created havoc in the lane with his scoring as assists. Doc Rivers was right the Celtics are a much better team when they make the extra pass!

For the first time in 2 years the Spurs are playing a must win game but it is at home where they play well. Can the Hornets close them out on the Spurs home court? Well I think that will be tough what do you think? If Tim Duncan does not wake up today this series will end tonight. Especially if Paul and West keep playing the way they have been for most of this series. This game will be fun to watch, I think the winner of this series may win it all we shall see.

NBA PLAYOFFS 2008

Last night the Hornets had to win and they came out firing on all cylinders. David West was awesome last night with a career high 38 points 14 rebounds and 5 blocks! Chris Paul was very good as well with 22 points and 14 assists! Tim Duncan was held to a low 10 points which is amazing! I expect the Spurs to put up a tough fight in game 6 at home, but the Hornets appear unstoppable at home and the Spurs will have to find that old championship form quick or the Hornets will march on to the Western conference finals.

Now for the Celtics and Cavaliers game 5 tonight. A must win at home for Boston. Will the great Ray Allen finally start hitting some shots? He is a great pure shooter one of the best ever and can kill you if you give him an inch so we will see what happens with that. I am not sure if anyone in the East has what it takes to win the championship right now.

Lakers vs. Jazz game 5 should be exciting to watch at the Staples center. Kobe plays great anywhere most of the time but at home he is pretty much unstoppable. I look for the Lakers to bounce back tonight at home vs. Utah. For the Jazz to win Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer will have to play great and keep the other Lakers in check as keeping Kobe in check may to be much to ask.

NBA Playoffs 2008

So last night Lebron James and the Cavaliers held serve and won on their home court as expected. The Boston Celtics can't seem to figure out how to win on the road in the playoffs. It was much easier and always will be in the regular season but it's a whole new game in the playoffs. This series is going to be fun to watch and as I said before will go 7 games most likely.
Will Boston win it or Cleveland?



In the Spurs and Hornets series the Spurs obviously have taken the momentum winning the past two games, will that last? I think this is a must win game at home tonight for the Hornets, if they go down 3-2 and have to win game 6 on the champs home court that would be a really tough task. Chris Paul, David West and Tyson Chandler better bring it tonight and I think they will and win a fairly close one.

NBA Playoffs

Wow what a crazy weekend in the NBA. The Utah Jazz have come storming back down 0-2 to even things up Deron Williams had a great game in the O.T. win yesterday in Utah, they are tough the beat at home this series looks like it may go 7 games now. I still say the Lakers will
take it though.

The Celtics continue to struggle on the road, will they win a road game this year in the playoffs? I think this one could go 7 games now too as the Cav's and Lebron are also tough to beat at home. Makes for some exciting basketball for sure. It looks like the Pistons should finish up in 5 against the Magic but you never know since Chauncey Billups is still hurting.

The Spurs altough boring are making the Hornets work for it now. After being down 0-2 they made a statement last night pounding the young Hornets in San Antonio, but the hornets and Chris Paul are tough at home too so I expect this series to go 7 games now. That seventh game in New Orleans is going to be crazy! I hope to see the Hornets pull off the huge upset since no one gave them a chance in this series! I am out for now. Dan
