Cramped Up Mind

It's been so long since my last blog. Anyways, so much as happened since. I have lost 15 pounds, my hair is now natural and Antoine has gotten so big. Earthquake in Haiti, man so close to home...Oh and Obama has been vey and PM Bruce Golding is getting on every Jamaicans nerves. There is so much to say and you know me there is always something on my mind.

Just think what America can do to us if our Prime Minister don't hand over Dudus...Boy, Bruce is stuck betwwen a rock and a hard place...I feel your pain but I can't help you.

As bad as America may be ya'll know I will always love my basketball. It's the NBA Playoffs and things are looking pretty decent so far. Miami down 3-0 to Boston..boooooo...I am not a Celtics fan so come Miami bring on some Heat. Cleveland look to have their series lock but I wouldn't count off the Bulls just yet. Denver a bit disappointing but it's not over. All season long San Antonio seems so out of sync but if I were Dallas I would be a bit worried (just a bit..for now that is). Brandon Roy just fresh out of surgery and back on the court like "what injury". The Thunders those young guys are bringing it to the defending Champs...can they take the series? I don't think so but then again this is the NBA where amazing happens and anything is possible. Oh and Orlando look to sweep the new comers Bobcats and Atlanta have their eyes set on the second round. So much to say with so little time.

Lakers Takes A 2-0 Lead

I as much a fan of Dwight Howard as I am of Kobe, Lebron, Wade and the other guys. His game brings back memories of Shaq in his early days and as he evolves he will no doubt in my mind become just as dominant as the big guys before him. The question still remains:Can he lead the Magic to an NBA Title? Sure he is surrounded by the likes of Hedo Turkuglu, Rashard Lewis, Jameer Nelson and so on, but do they have what it takes to come back from a 0-2 deficit to win the title. Ask this question a year from now and I think my answer will be yes. Not this year, why you might ask...and my answer is Kobe is hungrier this year than any other year. You see Kobe is at that stage of his career when retirement comes knocking and he wants to prove to the basketball world that he can win a title without Shaq. The Lakers have found a way to control Dwight in the paint, but somehow the Magics are yet to find and answer for Kobe. The problem for the Magics too is that Kobe's role players are playing great basketball as well. In the overtime win last night Pau Gasol stepped up and along with Kobe spoils the Magics Game 2 comeback and they might just spoils the Magics chance of winning a title. Lakers have what it takes to sweep the series. Magics will be looking to come back at home, we'll just have to wait and see......

The Celtics Struggling and the Magic on the Rise

Going into Sunday's game the Orlando Magic was the only team in the league to have not won a season series against the San Antonio Spurs. They have now won both meeting which is a sure sign of their growth and maturity. They are playing great basketball and is in second place in the Eastern Conference and 3 overall ahead of the defending champions Boston Celtics. They putted up 14 3-pointers as they were knocking them down and made Tony Parker 31 points looked like he was not in the game. It was a Playoff atmosphere in the AT&T Center as both teams was trading points. There was 29 lead changes and 18 ties but in the end the Magic overcome and beat the Spurs 105-98.

The Lakers beat the Heat by 3 points. In their last meeting a buzzer beater by Dwyane Wade gave the Heat the win over the Western leaders. But on Sunday it was a close game as it was a Bynum tip in off a Kobe miss with 18 seconds to go that sealed the Lakers win.

The Celtics 6 points win over the Toronto Raptors end a 4 games skid for the defending champs. The Celtics kicked off the season with a 19-0 runs which came to an end versus the Lakers on Christmas day, since then they have loss 7 of their last 9 games.
