The NBA Finals kicks off tonight at 6 pm for those of us on the West Coast. I guess you could say that this is the absolute latest time I could do a preview for this game, but heck, I decided instead of taking a nap I would put some of this free time to good use.
We are now fast approaching the matchup we have all (supposedly) been waiting for. But, ever since the huge trade/series of trades that brought ring-less superstars KG and Ray Allen to Boston up through the beginning of the season when Kobe, Bynum, and the rest of the Lakers came storming out of gates and even up until Pau came over in the Infamous Memphis Plundering of Oh ‘8 (also known as the Kupchak Miracle) we have been hearing about the possibility of a Lakers Celtics final series matchup. Now that it has happened, no surprise, ESPN and all our friends in the sports media have jumped on it and in true ESPN fashion, have not stopped talking about it, discussing it, analyzing it, and building it up since it was official.

So, I wanted my first legitimate post to be a mock draft talking about my boy OJ Mayo and where he was going, but seeing as how the draft lottery was ages ago, and the actual draft isn’t for a while. That doesn’t seem so relevant anymore (though I am still working on a mock draft) and also was probably going to end up being just another reason to procrastinate or deterrent to me actually starting this thing off. After watching Detroit go down, a few thoughts/memories flashed through my mind and I decide to put pen to paper or I guess in this case finger to keyboard and get something done during a summer that started off wonderfully relaxing, but is unfortunately slipping into couch potato territory.
Anyways, in the past two days we’ve seen probably the two great franchises in the NBA go down. In sports, we often like to look at trends and swings in the league hoping to see something that allows us to predict the way the league is going to play out. Tonight it would seem that we are seeing an end to a mini-era/trend. The Spurs and Pistons were two teams that (more…)
Lets kick this blog thing off right. Can’t ever go wrong with the tube. Enjoy.
Ellis to the Rim gets me every time. Bobby Fitzgerald with the call as always. Anyone who gets the dubs broadcast from Fitz and Barnes, we don’t realize how good we have it.
