CELTICS THROW THE HAMMER DOWN ON LA; WIN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP

Let the bodies hit the floor, let the bodies hit the floor. I have no idea who sang that song, but I can’t think of another song that would be more perfect to describe what I saw last night in Boston…Well, maybe taps!!!

The Boston Celtics put on a devastating performance Tuesday night embarrassing the Los [...]

LAKERS STAVE OFF ELIMINATION AND ANOTHER CELTICS RALLY

They live for at least another few days. The Los Angeles Lakers, just like in game four, jumped out to a huge first quarter lead and just like in game four, saw the lead evaporate. The difference being this time, the Lakers did not completely fold under the onslaught of the Celtics.
 
Los Angeles finally [...]

AMAZING COMEBACK PROPELS BOSTON TO VICTORY

What words can be used to describe what happened last night in the NBA finals? Both Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics fans can use the same adjectives with completely different meanings. Take the word incredible…For Celtics fans the definition for that word could be used in a statement of unmitigated joy and happiness. For [...]

NBA FINALS BREAKDOWN

The Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers will meet starting June 5th to decide who will win the NBA championship. Both teams were the best in their division during the season and took different directions to get where they are now.

The Lakers swept Denver, went through Utah and put the defending champs to sleep. Meanwhile, the [...]

LAKERS -VS-CELTICS; DOESN’T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS!!

With all due respects to the Detroit Pistons and San Antonio Spurs I was quite relieved when the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers won their respective conference final series.

ONE STEP AWAY FROM REDEMPTION: KOBE AND THE LAKERS DEFEAT SAN ANTONIO

The Los Angeles Lakers are the Western Conference champions. Who could have image this nearly a year ago? Kobe wanted to be traded, the Lakers were open about trading him, the Lakers couldn’t get a deal done to get Kevin Garnett, Jason Kidd or Jermaine O’Neal, GM Mitch Kupchak was seen as incompetent, and a [...]

THE FAT LADY IS GETTING READY; LA DEFEATS SAN ANTONIO

The San Antonio Spurs season is over. There chances of the Spurs winning back to back championships are smaller than Hillary Clinton chances of winning the democratic presidential nomination.

I do realize San Antonio has at least one more game left to play against the Los Angeles Lakers. But for all intended purposes the season [...]

THOUGHTS ON NBA PLAYOFFS WEEKEND

An interesting and fun weekend in the NBA. We saw teams that had words like “sweep”, “embarrassed”, and “disappointing” attached to their impending obituary come out playing with fire, desire and passion. We saw a King and his mates crown a group of petulant, disobedient Wizards. We saw the MVP favorite give a Melo fellow [...]

THOUGHTS ON WEEKEND PLAYOFF GAMES IN NBA

Overall, it was a great weekend for the NBA. I thoroughly enjoyed my Saturday and Sunday watching the exploits of Tim Duncan, LeBron James, Dwight Howard and Chris Paul. Most of the games were played at a high level and the stars performed up to snuff. The exceptionof maybe the Celtics verses the Hawks, every series looks [...]
