The playoffs of any sport are always great, but i especially love the NBA’s version. Sometimes they seem like their going on forever, but if you really love the sport of basketball its a beautiful thing to watch. Although my Miami Heat got taken out in the first round of possibly the worst 7 game series in basketball history, there are still many interesting stories happening with the remaining teams. If you watch these teams, the successful ones have have great energy bench play. What i would give to have a bench like Denver that has JR Smith and The Birdman coming in to give a son of life to the team. Just the pure site alone of the Birdman makes people in Denver go insane.
How can you not love this guy and his story?
Last night i stayed up to watch the first half of the Lakers vs Rockets game and it was a tale of two quarters. The first qtr saw Kobe and the Lakers go off for 45 points in the first 12 minutes to lead the Rockets by 15. In the second quarter just the complete opposite. The Rockets locked down the Lake-show and zoomed back to take a 1 point lead at the half. With a good game in hand i figure i would go to sleep because i couldnt stay up until 1:30 AM to watch the rest. When i woke up this morning i wish i would have. 2 ejections, 2 flagrant fouls, a handfull of technicals, and who lot of bad blood was created last night in the second half. If you havent seen the highlights you should check them out. My favorite without a doubt has got to be Ron Artest when he got elbowed in the neck by Kobe and Artest ran up into his face screaming “You gonna elbow me in the nack again?!?!?!?”
How could you not be scared out of your mind when hes coming your way? I do appreciate him bringing back the Derrick Mason style hair art. Thats a step in the right direction. Either way it creates great drama. Man i love basketball.
