Things I learned

• Tony Allen is a good basketball player and very smart - Sorry, if you didn’t get that, I meant I learnt sarcasm last night.  He is by FAR neither of those things.
• Ray Allen is a robot - He was sent from a planet where all the inhabitants have ice in their veins and thie nerves are made of steel. Oh and they also have granite in their scrotum’s in place of testes.
• Paul Pierce gives me hope to play basketball until im 45 - There isn’t a player that looks less mobile in the league but scores as many points or gets to the line more than Pierce.  He’s basically the EXACT opposite of Tony Allen.
• Kirk Hinrich is a little bit Gangsta –  After Rondo gave him the Irish Whip into the scorers table he looked like he could have been an extra in The Wire.
• Big Baby can hit big shots – With Pierce and Allen doubled and tripled teamed consistently someone needed to step up and it was the big man again and again.
• Derrick Rose is going to be GOOD, like REAL GOOD - The kid is good now but win or lose this series, he is going to have some of the BEST playoff experience under his belt and that’s going to make him that much better.  Remember, he is ONLY a rookie.
• Doc River and Vinny Del Negro might be good coaches – WOW!  You think as many minutes as these teams have played against each other that they would have seen it all.  But time after time these coaches pull some unreal play out of their book and it almost always works.
• Overtime is FUN! – I like the Celtics always have but I must admit as soon as overtime hits I just want the game to go on forever.  Its fast, exciting and good damn is it fun.  PLEASE LET TOMORROW GO INTO OT!!!
• I scream like a girl- Last night, my apartment must have sounded like a Justin Timberlake concert every time Ray Ray nailed a big shot.
• Joakim Noah is Ugly – STRAIGHT UP!!!

Game 7 goes tomorrow night at 8pm in Boston…GO CELTS!!!

Peace!

Shooting Stars – Detroit Pistons – They took the title after Phoenix had a HUGE lead but could not hit the half court shot.  They literally had 35 seconds to pot one from half and could not capitalize!!!

NBA Skills Challenge – Derrick Rose- Rose beat out Devin Harris (my call) by 3 seconds in the final but he finsihed with a huge reverse two hander that had the judges wondering why he wasn’t in the Dunk Contest?

3 Point Shootout – Daequan Cook- Who?  Exactly!  This rookie came out of nowhere to replace Jason Kapono the two time champion as the 3 point king in the NBA.  All the judges said it would be the biggest upset in history if he won but he did.  Beating Rashard Lewis in a 1 minute OT to take the crown. For the record, Kapono finished 1 POINT out of the final round

Slam Dunk – Nate Robinson – Lil’ Nate (5′2 from what I hear) beat out Superman (Dwight Howard) in the finals to claim his second dunk off championship. Although, he owes a HUGE debt of gratitude to his competitor for allowing himself to be a prop in the final round that no doubt sent Nate over the edge to be the winner.  Dwight was killing the crowd with his unreal athleticism but I think the dunk from the free throw line at the end, killed all his momentum.  A big piece of news from this contest came when LeBron James announced he WOULD COMPETE in 2010 in Dallas in the dunk contest.

All in all it was another great night of entertainment but again I lost all my bets.  Oh well better luck next year (when the game SHOULD have been in Toronto, until Dallas decided to put up a billion dollar stadium, DAMN!)

Peace!
