Motorcity Blues

The playoffs have been on for around two weeks now and this only my third blog. I shouldn't deserve to call myself a blogger. All kidding aside it's been two great weeks of good and no so good basketball. In the East all the series have been pretty battled out by underdogs and top seeds with the exception of the Cleveland/Detroit series which is already over. Meanwhile in the West almost all the series are pretty one sided for the exception of the Houston/Portland series.

A Smartass once said....
If you check my prediction of the Cleveland vs Detroit series two blog ago, I said that Cleveland would win in 6 games if the back court of Stuckey and Hamilton came in with their "A" game. Well it was actually much more quickly than that.....2 games quicker to be precise. That's right the team that had gotten to the Eastern Conference for the last 6 seasons was sweeped in the Quarter Fionals. This would have probably been a bad joke back in September. Trading Billups for Iverson was what completely destroyed the chemistry and motivation of this team. Time to rebuild for the Detroit Pistons! At least now most of the Pistons will get a chance to go to Jay Leno's free stand up comedy show for anybody that is unemployed in the Detroit Area. I think most people would be even more depressed after watching his show! He's getting a ten o'clock show now.....oh brother.

Now Lebron James and co. get to wait for the result of the Atlanta vs Heat series. I still think that the Heat win it in 7.


Da Bulls Strike Again!
Suddenly when the Celtics had all their confidence back by winning game two of the series with a three point dagger courtesy of none other than Ray Allen. The Bulls returned the favour of losing to the Celtics in the last game. It was a double over time thriller with lots of fast breaks, contact and trash talking to keep any fan happy.

In the past weeks I've become a real supporter of the Bulls mainly because of my
Reasons why I don't like Boston:

1. They Have Marbury!
2. They won the NBA championship last year.
3.Garnett and the rest of the crew are just so smug.

They're not great reasons, but I just hate them. Journalistically this sounds very unprofessional, but frankly I don't give a damn.

The game pretty much ended after Ben Gordon hit a three point dagger close to end of the second overtime.

Magic!
Only caught the last play of the Magic-76ers game in which Turkoglu getting a three pointer to steal the game away from the 76ers. This is probably the most interesting series so far after the Bulls-Celtics . This one will most likely go to game 7.
