We may be in for a surprise!

At the beginning of this NBA season if I would have said that the Denver Nuggets and the Orlando Magic would face each other in the NBA Finals, I would most likely be telling a REALLY funny joke. Depending on what happens tonight, this matchup could easily happen. A few posts prior I showed the new puppet commercial that Nike debuted. The NBA has been campaigning for a Kobe vs. Lebron finals for a long time. I think this picture is very humorous and tells it like it is:



We'll see what happens but we could be in for a definite surprise for this year's Finals. By the way, this entire post was written with only my left hand as I cant move my right arm currently.

Yankees New Stadium

So this season the Yankees unveiled their new Yankee Stadium. It is a landmark in that area and many band wagon fans will most likely make their way over there while on visit in NY. Although, there are some interesting aspects of this new monstrosity of a stadium. This video clip will explain what the hoopla is all about. Sounds like my kind of ball park, huh?

POST SEASON!!!!!

So I'm sure everyone knows my semi-obsession with the NBA let alone the Playoffs, actually let's just get it straight - it's not semi-obsession, it is a real obsession. Since I live in the west and fully support the Jazz, I must have an Eastern conference team that I follow and admire. That would be the Cleveland Cavaliers, not because they had the best record this year, I've actually really liked them ever since Lebron first came into the league out of high school. Every morning I check out a few different NBA rumor/blog websites to catch up on the inside stuff. This morning I came across this hysterical video clip of 2 puppets being Lebron and Kobe. Lebron is super excited for the POST SEASON!! And Kobe just whimpers around as if it's completely commonplace for him. Granted, Kobe has won 3 championships (with Shaq of course, have to throw in that caveat) but Lebron has been to the finals before and I'm sure hoping that the Cavs can take it all the way this year. Before EVERY game, lebron chalks up his hands and throws it up in the air so that everyone knows why is so chalk happy. Here's to you Lebron!!

Lakers for Real??

So it's been a while since I've posted, and I'm going to get better at it. But after yesterday seeing the Lakers fall dead to the much undersized Rockets, I couldn't help but post this picture I saw online. The Rockets big man Yao Ming has recently broke his surgically repaired left foot again and thus will be out for the remainder of the playoffs. Being the Lakers hater that I am, I never thought I'd be cheering for the Houston Rockets. They are actually starting to grow on me. Shane Battier I think would look wonderful in a JAZZ uniform. I don't believe that championship teams are made out what the Lakers are showing right now. They haven't been competing to their full potential and even though they have the talent to win, they need to start proving that they can. As for now, lots of people including me wouldn't be surprised if the Rockets won this series, even without Yao and TMAC.

Enjoy!
