5/9: CP3 vs. The Spurs, Lebron, Brandon Webb.....

To the hardwood...
  • The Spurs awaken to find a hungry Hornets team....but hold them off anyway.....getting a combined 62 (31 each) from Parker and Manu Ginobili, the Spurs managed to combat another ludicrous effort from Chris Paul (35 points and 9 dimes); These games are the reason people can't pick against the Spurs with any sort of ease, but don't forget the Hornets are still in control here with homecourt and a 2-1 series lead....
  • Lebron with ANOTHER stinker last night....I'm a little surprised by him going 6-24 yesterday just b/c great players usually don't lay back-to-back eggs....I have a feeling he has a ridiculous game in him for this series, but I also have a feeling they are going home soon...
Elsewhere....
  • The Atlanta Braves win their 6th straight behind some clutch hitting and a nice little comeback....they hold the league's best home record....but an atrocious 4-11 road record....eh....Brandon Webb has 8 wins already, he's pretty good....after another CG win yesterday, no less....Richie Sexson charging the mound is scary sight....just imagine him with a metal bat in his hands (an inside joke for a very few people if they are reading)....A great story: Doug Davis pronounced Cancer-free; Congrats Doug....I wish you luck on your return to the mound as well
  • All-NBA teams are out....First team is exactly who it should be (Paul, Kobe, Lebron, KG, Dwight) but then it gets a bit dicey....I'm on the record for hating putting 2 PGs on the 2nd team and zero on the 3rd team so I won't rant on that....Holding back....
  • Mike Vick back in the news...hilarity...he now owes a Canadian bank 2.4 million dollars for defaulting on a loan, etc.....good to hear you're still going strong Mike, your jersey is collecting dust in my closet as we speak
