We are all witnesses!

Today was one of those "I am a witness" day. We watched absolute greatness in LeBron. He had a 47-12-8 night and was unstoppable. When this guy is on, he is just a treat to watch. Kobe is also unstoppable, but they are two very different players. It's a very interesting comparison. Kobe is still the best pure scorer in the league, but LeBron is quickly getting there. His jumper is getting better every day. But his strength, size, patience and passing ability make him a very different player than Kobe and probably a better player overall. We want to see them do it against each other in the same court at the highest level called the NBA finals.

The Atlanta Hawks had no defense for LeBron today. They let him connect on 15 of 25 shots. Their defense sucks and they have no size in the paint. They are clearly overmatched and they would be lucky to steal just one from the Cavs. They had big runs today and it seemed like they can keep it close. But the Cavs defense bottled them up for long stretches of the second half and LeBron was unstoppable on offense. It's time to bring on the Magic. May be they'll test the Cavs for the first time this off-season. A Boston-Cleveland series would have been great, but KG's injury seems to have killed the drama.

In the West, the refs blew a call and let Melo hit a game winning three against the Mavs. After calling all kinds of fouls and throwing people out for all kinds of offenses this post-season, the zebras failed to call a intentional "foul to give" hack on Melo. The defender stopped because he hacked Melo and was expecting a whistle and Melo continued the play and hit a game wining three. Very OUCH for Dallas. Apparently it was the same ref who refused to blow the whistle on Derek Fisher last year against the Spurs. Looks like this guy swallows his whistle at the end of games. One question I have is, did the coach screw up by not giving the refs the heads up? Coches usually do it just to be safe.

Here's a quick question for baseball fans. Who is the best pitcher in all of baseball? Not sure how many people will answer Zach Greinke. His ERA is a robust 0.51 and has 6 wins, both stats leading both the leagues. He has the KC Royals on top of the AL Central. Pretty impressive. He could be this year's Cliff Lee - a familiar, mediocre pitcher having an incredible season out of nowhere. But Zach didn't have too bad a season last year, though this year, he is gone out of control. Today he pitched 8 innings for a complete game, 0-1 loss to the Angels. Impressive, though I am sure it is frustrating for him to lose that way.
