You silly Blue Girl! Of course you were watching Grey's Anatomy. It was the season finale!
Anyway, it was one of those games that only a sick fan could love. Dominating defense on both ends of the court made it very hard to watch... {shakin'head}
But Wow! These are two VERY good Team-focused ballclubs. Good stuff, indeed.
If someone told me a last week ago that the Detroit-Cavs series would be more competitive (2-2) than the Mavs-Spurs (3-1), I would've told him he was nuts. But with the surprises that this NBA postseason has already shown (like the Lakers' improbable 3-1 lead and the Suns' miraculous comeback), these playoffs are totally up in the air. LeBron is maturing right before our eyes. Unlike a certain "pompous, arrogant" Laker superstar, James is not a quitter. But he still has a long way to go (5-of-10 in freethrows, is he finally choking in the clutch?).
The playoffs are no longer the long dress-rehearsal to a Spurs-Pistons rematch most basketball pundits have envisioned. Indeed, it could very well be a Mavs-Heat finals by June. But don't take my word on it, it's really too close to call.
Dan! I hear ya, man. IMH*O, Kobe was the most dominant player in the Association this year, but his attitude and "quitter"ness cost him. And you can watch Lebron consciously trying to be a more well-rounded player than Kobe has ever consistently attempted to be.
I think his FT % suffers most when James plays too many minutes. I saw 'em play the Wizards in the reg season, and he went 9 for 17 from the line, whilst playin' nearly the entire game! That's a Shaquillean percentage, but Shaq gets plenty o' breaks in every game. {shakin'head} 21 or not, the kid is still freakin' human Coach! Rest him, sometimes.
I gotta hand it to the Cavs. I thought the Pistons were going to sweep the series. I just hope Detroit's basketball playoffs don't end up like hockey did.
Yay! I thought about you when they won!!
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to win, huh?
(But I gotta admit I was watchin' Grey's Anatomy...had to see my McDreamy on last time this season...)
Don't kill me!
:)
Why.. I oughtta ... LOL!
