The NBA playoffs are here.
I don't recall games being so entertaining in a long time.
Kobe is being Kobe. A game saving jumper followed by a game winning jumper to send the Suns on the brink of elimination. That just sucks. Phoenix had the game won...twice! Although seeing a match-up between the Clippers and the Lakers in the 2nd round would be awesome, Phoenix has been one of my favourite teams to watch all season. So watching them lose the way they did just hurts. I guess it's time to jump on some bandwagons now: Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Clippers.
Sacramento. Artest is my man. Through all the suspensions, trade demands, and other silliness, I've stuck by him by drafting him to my fantasy teams. The guy is a basketball player period. Both offensively and defensively. He can post up. He can shoot the three. He can knock you around and he can start the fast break through his defence. Now he's single-handedly (well, almost) helping the Kings give the Spurs a major scare. If they keep playing how they're playing right now, they're going to cause a major upset by knocking off the Spurs.
LA Clippers. Such talent up and down their line-up. Cassell. Mobley. Brand. Kaman. Livingston. Maggette. Radmanovic. Denver has no chance to beat them. They have no passion and they look like they're just going through the motions of getting eliminated. Carmelo has been disappointing. He's been so clutch in the regular season, but now he's a bust. The playoffs I guess show off the best and worst in players, and right now for 'Melo it's the latter.
The playoffs are just beginning...
