The NBA is Amazing
April 29, 2009A couple of random NBA playoffs thoughts:
1. The Mavs are actually playing like a team. After closing out the Spurs Tuesday night some of the respect that I lost for the Mavs has returned. (I almost became a OKC Thunder fan, then I had to remind myself they are an Oklahoma team once removed from Seattle.)
They didn't lose in the first round. "Happy, happy, joy, joy," says Ren & Stimpy.
I don't know when Mark Cuban will start crying after they lose in the second round, but I'm predicting game 3. They Mavs will more than likely play the Nuggets and I don't really think the two teams match up that well.
The Mavs are better inside, but the Nuggets have the Birdman, Chris Anderson. Nene can dominate, but he hasn't really don't that much so far. Jason Kidd might have a better time staying in front of Chauncey Billups than he did trying to keep up with Tony Parker.
There isn't a person on the team that can contain Carmelo Anthony when he gets going. I'm sure someone might give it an honest effort, but that's about it.
I will add that I haven't seen him play his heart out since he won the national championship at Syracuse. He grimaces too much, either at the call or the namby-pamby foul he just took.
J.R. Smith can also shoot the lights out when he gets going. I wanna say his 3-point percentage is somewhere in the amazing category.
2. I'm hoping the Cavs win the whole thing. And I hope they do it against the Lakers. I really enjoy watching LeBron James play. I could watch that guy play a game of 21/Horse/Pig/layups and I'd be interested.
3. Isn't it weird watchin the playoffs and not seeing Shaq? He's the man and you all know it.
4. Dwight Howard better work on his mid-range game if he really wants to take his team to the promise land. He can win all the dunk competitions he wants, but all that really tells me is that he should be able to block minimum of 7 shots a game with his timing and athleticism. He can technically alter all the shots he wants and appease the announcers/coaches, but he better be able to get those 7 blocks.
5. Finally, watch this video and try to tell me the NBA isn't amazing.
