Who is this James guy? He seems pretty good.
-LeBron James. Is there anything that needs to be said? Sure, he made an unbelievable shot last night, but we all knew that he was great already. What is more amazing to me is that the Magic were almost up 2-0 on the Cavs. Cleveland has to be a little bit scared right now. I would be really happy if I was a Magic fan right now, you are in a great position to win this series.
-Red Wings/Blackhawks looks like a series now, but it is really not. The Wings will win the next two to go to the Stanley Cup. Great game last night with Detroit coming back from a 3 goal deficit to send it to overtime, but Chicago was able to pull it out. Detroit, however, is extremely deep. There is not one weakness on this team. That is why they will beat the 'Hawks and then beat the Penguins, again.
-For me, Lakers/Nuggets is a much more exciting series than the Magic/Cavs. It's nothing against Cleveland, but Orlando bores me. Hedo Turkoglu and Rashard Lewis can get hot and hit three's, but they are boring players to watch. Denver-LA is going 7. Count it.
-Baseball, baseball, baseball. It just keeps on getting more exciting, except not really. One team that has really fallen off the map? The Florida Marlins. The Fish were sitting pretty at 11-1 early in the season. Since then, they have been atrocious. The Marlins have lost 23 out of their last 31. That's bad.
-The Tigers and Yankees continue to play really solid baseball. Detroit is getting good starting pitching (even the return of Dontrelle Willis, who pitched a shutout! The D-Train has rolled back into the station!) and solid hitting not only from Miguel Cabrera but also from role players. Meanwhile, the Yanks have been steamrolling every opponent to the ground. This team looks really tough right now. Yes, A-Rod does make that much of a difference.
-Back to the Cavs. Don't give me the BS that LeBron isn't the best just because he hasn't won a championship. You can't tell me that you would possibly take Wade over LeBron, just because Wade has won a title. Give me LeBron every day. And the same goes for Kobe. I would take James any day over Bryant. And in the last five minutes of a game, I would probably still take the king. Remember LeBron's 48 special over Detroit (scoring the last like 29 points for the Cavs)? That's clutch. But this may come as a surprise to you: if I have one possession and I need a basket with a couple seconds left, I take Kobe over LeBron. Kobe just has a better pure shot, even though LeBron's looked pretty good last night when he rained one in at the buzzer over Hedo Turkoglu. You know what, I'll take either guy. We will hopefully get to see them in action against each other in the Finals.
