Annoyed

I am losing it, I need a break....everything annoys me lately. I need a time out or something to recuperate and what not. I hate being like this but I guess it's a phase we all go through from time to time, especially when we are over worked and all. There is so much going on in life it's overwhelming. My only escape is my wondering mind. Whenever I want to escape the hassle that this life toss at me I let my mind wonder and dream. I just take myself to that other place where I can be at peace. It's a shame though but I haven't been able to do that lately so I hope I will be able to do so on my upcoming vacation. Trust work as not been much fun for me so a much needed break is well desiring. Besides my son and work the only other thing that keeps me occupied is basketball.....weird huh.

(BTW Coach Mike Brown(Cleveland Cavaliers) won the Coach of the year and Dwight Howard(Orlando Magic) became the youngest player to win Defensive Player of the year.)

You they say the mind can be a dangerous place, but if you should go to mind you'd be bored to death. My son, work, plans I have for the next 5 years and basketball is all that's seems to be on my mind these pass few weeks. My life have been pretty dull lately and I find myself liking it. I have been burned so to speak by so many people that I feel it's time I start living a more secluded life. Maybe I am just overworked, or maybe I am at that stage where I start to choose my friends wisely. I don't know maybe it's the fact that I am moving closer to 30 and that little light is starting to peep over the horizon.

Off To A Promising Start

Well, I guess ya’ll already know what’s on my mind…..yep you guess it…..basketball baby. Everything is going as I hoped it would so far. Lakers won 113-100 over the Jazz. Trevor Ariza shone like a star and as you know Kobe did his thing. Cavaliers whopped the Pistons no surprises there as Lebron showed his stuff. Dallas (a little surprising) beat the Spurs….yeah they whopped their Ginobili-less butt. Dirk and Josh Howard were superb. Houston beat the Trailblazers who had no answer whatsoever for Yao Ming. Let’s see oh Orlando gave up a 20 points lead at the half and was severely beaten by the Sixers. Wade was only limited to 19 points as the Hawks overpowered the Heat. Denver have obtained home court advantage for the first time in 21 years.....yeah that’s right 21 years. Chauncey Billups lived up to his name Mr. Bigshot, he had a career high 8 3-pointers in the game as they bulldozed the Hornets 113-84. However my most surprising highlight for the weekend was Derrick Rose’s performance against the guess who…..yeah that’s right, the Defending Champions the Boston Celtics. They said that Rose is a Rookie but he didn’t play like one. He did something Michael Jordan did not do and that was beat the Celtics in the Playoffs oh and he tied Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's record with 36 points in his playoff debut, while dishing out 11 assist in an overtime victory over the Celtics who might have do without the Big Ticket Kevin Garnett throughout the Playoffs .

Now all the teams that I expected to win, Lakers and Cavs, won and all the teams that I hoped to win, won except the Heat and Magic. It’s not over until the fat lady sings. This was just Game 1 of the first round, who knows what will happens. But you know I will be watching keenly. This looks like it’s shaping up to be one of the most memorable Playoffs…..wait a sec they are memorable….oh well it’s gonna be amazing.

Playoffs In The Air

Finally!!!!! It's here the NBA Playoffs......I am happy, are you? Will it be Lakers and the Cavs(I hope so) or maybe a rematch of last year's finals. KG(Kevin Garnett) might be out for the season.....tough but I think we all know that without KG the Celtics will be very shaky. I won't be surprise if the Bulls battle them down to the wire. The Bulls have been playing lately is very impressive....they're no Bulls of the 90's....but they look promising. Detroit is worried cause Lebron is going to the finals and no team can stand in his way not even the C's.

I still cannot believe that Allen Iverson stated that he rather retire than come off the bench. No wonder he is still yet to win a ring. Sacrifices will have to made in order to succeed and if he is that unwilling to make any he will not never get that hardware. I know Chris Webber, Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, Reggie Miller, and all the superstars and greats of the league wish they had won a ring at least once in their careers. Gary Payton and Alzono Mourning made the sacrifice and it paid off. He should use the America's 2008 Olympic Team as motivation. If Dwade, Howard, Lebron, Kobe(especially Kobe) can sacrifice being the main man for the greater good, then he can do the same and get a championship. Oh well, he is a grown ass man who knows right from wrong and if this the road he wants to travel, then who are we to be judgmental.

Anyways.....playoffs is in the air and it the best time of the season for me, so I will be watching extensively. Lakers vs Cavs who will win I don't know and I would be happy if either team wins. Kobe needs to prove he can win without Shaq and Lebron needs to prove he can be like Mike. But when all is said and done they are both Hall of Famers and will both go down in history as 2 of the greatest basketball players of all times.

That's all for now.........

The Return of Bynum

Andrew Bynum is back, yeaaaaaaah. 16 points and 7 rebound not shabby for a guy who's just coming off the injury list. He looks good and now you can say the Lakers got their swagger back. I like Andrew's game....he's no Shaq, yet....he have a lot of years to prove his worth.

Oh the Bulls kicked the Sixers hind parts and the Rockets murderized the kings. Ginobili-less Spurs are now clinging for dear life to regard home court, who knew. You see this is why I love this game it can go either way, it just keeps you guessing. 1 more week to go. By then who knows you will get 2,3 and 4th seed in the West.
