Slapshot Monday
Tonight is the game 7 of two of the NBA finals yesterday was a third. This is some of the best basketball Ive seen in years. Detroit finished off LeBron yesterday. I think he is an amazing talent but the Cavaliers will need more around him to go any further in the playoffs. Jordan wasnt Jordan until there was Pippin, Grant and the others. A few more pieces and the Cavs will be VERY dangerous.
The Dallas San Antonio game was amazing. I thought for sure Dallas was going to run away with it, but the Spurs wouldnt give up. Its a shame that this is over with and the odds of the finals being this good are nil. Dallas should have no problem with whoever comes out of the other game.
The Clippers and Suns are playing right now and the Suns seem to have it well in hand but I thought about that with the Dallas game too. I dont think either of these teams have enough to get past the Mavericks in the next round though.
While all this is happening, the Heat have been sitting around twiddling their thumbs. It should be interesting to see if they will come out well rested or rusty. The good thing here is I think Detroit is a better match up with Miami. Cleveland wouldnt be able to match up with Shaq and would have meant a boring series.
I would expect to see the Mavericks and Heat in the Finals.
I think next year should be very interesting as I expect to see some big trades coming up. With Yao and McGrady in Houston and them not even making the playoffs, I expect one of them will go and rebuilding to begin. Kobe and the Lakers are ahead of where I figured they would be. If they could find one more player to compliment that offense, then I see them being back in the premier level again. I figure the Clippers will self-destruct after this season they always do after one good season.
My biggest complaint with basketball is that it seems the season never ends. The finals will finish up the middle of June end of June if we have 7 games in the series and then Training camp starts in August I think. One month off is insane. Id like to see them drop 12 games from the schedule and make the first two rounds the best of five instead of seven. Maybe have fewer days off between games. You could cut the season down by two months very easily.
Well, as I wrap this up the Suns are up by 17 with under 6 minutes to go I think the refrigerator is closed, the light if off, the butter is getting hard and the jello is jiggling.
