Lakers pound Spurs take 2-0 lead

How about that game last night? The Lakers pounded the Spurs at home and now have a commanding 2-0 lead in the series. The Lakers better learn from the Hornets though. If you recall the Hornets easily handled the Spurs at home and also went up 2-0. Lamar Odom and Kobe Bryant played great and Farmar did too. I expect the Spurs to play much better at home. If the Lakers can somehow steal one on the road then this series will probably go to the Lakers but if the teams keep winning on their own home courts a game 7 in LA would be exciting but also tough as the Spurs have alot of experience. I do think the Lakers are better and more experienced than the Hornets though.

Lakers steal one at Staples!

Wow the Lakers down 20 points midway through the 3rd quarter at Staples center and they manage to come back! Amazing and they should breath a huge sigh of relief. Going down 0-1 and losing home court would have been a huge problem inmy opinion. Whewww! could be heard all over Los Angeles last night. Great play in the 4th quarter by the one and only Kobe Bryant helped alot. The Lakers cannot afford to come out cold in the first half again against the Spurs. I think it could of been a combination of great play by the Lakers and Kobe but the Spurs were a bit tired I am sure from a long overnight flight and they spent alot of energy to get that lead too. The Lakers should learn from this and play better the entire game tomorrow.

Celtics Pistons, Lakers Spurs...

A nice start to the series by the Celtics last night. They are tough to beat at home that is for sure. Will they beat the Pistons as expected and face the Lakers or Spurs in the Finals? Garnett played well scoring 26 points and leading his team to the victory. What is going on with Ray Allen? Man he is usually clutch in the playoffs at least he was with the Sonics, of course they did not have the talent the Celtics do. He is a great shooter and should wake up soon and get in a groove.

Okay the big game tonigth Lakers and Spurs. This series will be a battle! I am expecting a hard fought game tonight with the fresher Lakers playing at home getting the win. How many points will Kobe score? Who can stop him or Tony Parker? We will find out soon enough. Go Lakers! I am sick and tired of the boring old Spurs!

NBA Playoffs

Well the defending champs experience and savvy was the difference last night. I was hoping the young Hornets could keep their home court dominance going but momentum had swung to the Spurs and experience proved valuable last night, dang it! The Hornets shooting was just a bit off last night especially when they needed it most. Oh well the boring old Spurs travel to face Kobe and the Lakers tomorrow. This series will be great and probably goes 7 games as well. I don't know who will take this one but I am looking forward to seeing how Gasol does vs. Duncan. I am assuming they will face each other often unless Jackson decides to put Odom on Duncan. No one on the Spurs can stop Kobe but who on the Lakers can stop Tony Parker? We shall see soon!

NBA Playoffs

What a game 7 between the Celtics and the Cavaliers! Lebron James was awesome and so was Paul Pierce. They both carried their teams and left everything on the floor. Home court advantage was pretty much the difference in this series, although game 7 was very close and the Celtics just had a bit more control than the Cav's did.



Tonight game 7 Spurs and Hornets, I can't wait to see what happens. This one will be close I believe. I see the Hornets in a close one that is if David West is healthy. It will be tough to close out the defending champs though. I expect Tim Duncan, Tony Parket and Chris Paul to play well. Who else will step up?
