Thanks KG

The NBA playoffs can sometimes feel too long, especially during the early rounds. But thanks to KG, we have a great first round series. The Celts-Bulls series is just awesome. 3 of the 5 games have gone to OT and we have seen some macho performance from D-Rose, Ben Gordon, Rando, Ray-Ray and today, the Truth. With KG, this is probably a easy score for the Celts. But without him, these team are pretty well-matched and they have been going at each other pretty ferociously. D-Rose has slowed down since that ridiculous first game, but Rando has been consistent. This is becoming a breakout series for both these guards, though both of them had a great regular season. Can't wait for the next game on Thursday.

The Cavs and Lakers are done for now. Cavs were realy impressive sweeping the Pistons. The Lakers have been a little less impressive, but still they won the series 4-1 rather easily. The surprise so far has been the early elimination of the hobbled Spurs. A new challenge for their stellar front-office. I am very curious to see what they do and how they rebuild. This series could have been very different with Ginobli and a healthy Duncan, but they are getting old now. Except Tony Parker, everybody is old and even if they had won against the Mavs, they were not going too far anyways. So they got to make some changes. As for Dallas, they are looking good and may even make it to the Western Finals.

I was thinking about Dallas. Cuban looked stupid when he let Nash walk and Nash killed them the very next playoffs. It was BEAUTIFUL to watch! He also let Finley walk soon after. But a few years later, the Mavs are still playing and Finley and the Spurs are eliminated and the Suns are not even in the playoffs. Cubes should be happy. But it was still a mistake to let Nash go and by trading for Kidd and paying a steep price for him (Devin Harris), I guess he accepted it. I hope Nash and the Suns do better than the Mavs at least next year. I hear some interesting rumors involving Shaq and Tyson Chandler. Not sure why the Hornets will do it, but it's all about money these days and Shaq's salary comes off the books after next year. Chandler might be an interesting center to pair up with Amare and Nash.

I heard something I couldn't believe. The Yankees have seats that cost $300+ per for season tickets. Thats around 25K for a 81 game season. Damn expensive for a baseball ticket. Apparently they are having problems selling their seats and are giving "half-off" deals. That I can believe in this economic climate. I hope you all saw the 23-V-24 ad from Vitamin water. Genius timing for this AD. Not sure how much they are paying LeBron and Kobe for this AD. We are going to see this Kobe/LeBron hype all spring and it's going to be awesome if they both make it to the Finals. Kobe's nickname "Black Mamba" is getting popular these days. I think it's a cool nickname to have.
