The 2 Big Stories...at least for me...

Okay the First one is big for everyone...you win...you always do...
  • Lebron James drives the stake in.... an unbelievable instant classic buzzer beater with several problems (Rashard Lewis not aggressively covering the inbounds so why have him up there at all? Lebron getting completely single-covered, etc.) on the defensive end...but immediately a legendary moment and perhaps the biggest shot of his career....Oh yeah, he had 35 points too....lol... For Orlando... Dwight Howard gets 8 shots? I know he's not on offensive force but that's a balance issue...1-1 going to Orlando is all the Magic can really hope for but it could easily be 2-0...
And one that I witnessed in person...
  • Kenshin Kawakami outduels...Roy Halladay? Didn't see that coming...the first 1-0 final I've ever seen live in baseball...Both starters were absolutely masterful...Kawakami (8 IP, 3 hits, 0 ER, 7 K) gets the W in his best start to date...and while Halladay was virtually perfect as well (7 IP, 5 hits, 0 ER), his bullpen let him down and Mike Gonzalez slammed the door....Nothing is easy for this Braves team though....with 2 out and a man on 3rd in the top of the 9th... there was a chopper to 3rd that took a weird hop and Martin Prado booted it...but he was fortunate enough to get a great bounce and somehow still gunned Vernon Wells to end it.... Fitting....
That's all for now
