NBA Finals

So I sit here on this Friday morning awaiting the start of the first World Cup game to start, and I still keep thinking about the NBA playoffs. The series is now even at two a piece as we head back to Los Angeles. The Lakers have the edge in the series with a chance to regain the series lead with a win on its home court. The Celtics may have caught a small break with the chance that Andrew Bynum does not play in this crucial final game. In order for the Celtics to win game five not only will the Celtics have to show up to play, but more importantly they need Paul Pierce to step up and live up to the name "the truth." Ray Allen will hit his shots, Rondo will continue his excellent play, and we always know KG will provide the energy. I was a little surprised, I felt after the Celtics won game two they would head home to win both games. Obviously this did not happen, and only time will tell who will be hoisting the trophy at the end of the year.

Also would like to once again congratulate the Chicago Blackhawks for not only bringing a Championship back to Chicago, but for softening the blow for how pathetic Chicago baseball is this year.

Just Phenomenal

NBA Finals

Posting to say how surprised I am that the Lakers lost game two. I am not a fan of either of these teams, and being honest I would rather see the Celtics win it. I think the Celtics last night just proved to the Lakers how series they actually are. Phil Jackson's pedigree is nothing to laugh at, having never lost a series after winning a game one at home, Phil is gotta be feeling a little nervous. Now alright the series is tied 1-1, and many probably feel the Lakers still got this in the bag. I on the other hand would not feel too sure if that was my team. If Boston takes care of business at home this series will be very interesting. I will post back with my game three thoughts.

Good Bye Ken.

After 22 years in the Big Leagues, Ken Griffey Jr. is calling it quits. Ken Griffey may be known by the casual fan for a few things. Some people may remember him from his frustrating injury problems year after year, some may remember him for having the sweetest swing of a baseball bat to this day, and if your from my generation you obviously know Ken Griffey Jr. from his hit N64 games Ken Griffey Baseball. All joking aside, I will always remember Griffey as one of the greatest players every to put on a uniform. Griffey ending his career with 630 home runs (fifth all time) makes it no secret that if Ken could of stayed healthy he may have shattered now Barry Bonds home run record*. Ending as a career .284 and 1836 RBI's. Ken Griffey Jr. will be a shoe in for the Hall of Fame. Although this year was a rough one for Ken with the struggling at the plate and his off the field problems have made him come to a decision before the All-Star break. Non the less Ken Griffey Jr. was and will be know as one of the greatest players of all time. I will never forget what his presence has brought alone to Major League Baseball. Congrats Ken and good luck.
