NBA Weekend Quick Notes
1) The Cavs really aren't a good team. They didn't show up yesterday. Lebron showed up for the first half of the game dropped 21 and the rest of his team was a no show and a disgrace. It's pathetic.
2) The Cavs really had no chance to win yesterday. They needed to win game 6 and they just came up short. Yesterday they came out incredibly flat at the beginning of both halfs and that was it. If you do not score more than 30 points in the second half of an NBA basketball game you are not going to win.
3) My favorite moment of the basketball weekend was Michael Finley's dunk on the baseline against the Spurs. Not the dunk itself but the aftermath in which Finley emphatically headbutted the ball. I am proponent of headbutting in sporting events other than where it is prevalent.
Tonights QuickNotes
1) Tonight is the perfect test to how important homecourt is in NBA playoff series. The Clippers and the Mavericks have been the better teams in both of their series. The Clippers have dominated down low and threw away game 5 when Raja dropped in the triple from the corner sending te game to double OT. The Mavericks on the other hand beat down the Spurs from games 2-5 then just barely missed out on closing the series.
2) I'm taking the Clippers. I know homecourt will help the Suns. I know the extra days rest will help Nash. I know the Suns had a better record this season. And I know I will be cheering for the Suns to win (As long as I can stay awake for the whole game) but the Clippers have the mismatches. The Clippers have the crossbread alien fish who has the most experience out of any one on these respective teams. The Clippers have the reliable scoring and rebounding from Elton Brand. I hope I'm wrong but I just think the Clippers are the more well rounded team.
3) My philosophy of do not bet against the champs holds true tonight. I think this is much more of a close matchup than the other game though. I think Dallas is the more athletic more talented team. But are you willing to bet against Tim Duncan in a game 7 at home. What happened in last years game 7 in the finals? The Spurs dumptrucked the Pistons, while I do not expect that to happen I do expect the Spurs to pull out a squeeker. But I hope Dirk drops 40 and 15 and proves me wrong.
So to recap, the Cavs minus Lebron = 20th ranked NCAA team, headbutting is cool, bet on Clips and Spurs root for Mavs Suns. Well unless you actually do bet then you have to root for who you bet on.
