A Great NBA Game, etc...

  • Boston and Orlando was an absolute classic on Sunday... Boston wins it on a buzzer-beating mid-range J by Glen Davis...a back-and-forth battle in every sense... 23 and 17 from Dwight Howard wasn't enough to combat 93 of the 95 points for Boston by it's 5 starters including 12+ from all 5 starters... How does Rajon Rondo lead the C's in rebounding like...every night?.... A very good iso coaching move going to Rashard Lewis on the last trip by Stan Van Gundy instead of his normal Hedo clearout...Lewis had Big Baby on him....advantage Orlando... and I can't imagine that was the play Doc called...it worked out well....that's called execution....
  • The Surprise of the day? Houston absolutely running away from LA...sans Yao no less... Aaron Brooks had his coming out party with 34 points, and Houston also got 23 from Shane Battier and 12 from Kyle Lowry... Raise your hand if you saw that result coming....that's what I thought...I don't take a whole lot from it...I still don't think Houston can win this series...but an encouraging effort if nothing else..that oughta wake LA up...
  • I watched Jonathan Papelbon turn it up about 5 notches at the end of the Rays game to strike out the side in the 9th...impressive...
  • Tiger implodes...yes, he would've needed to shoot a ludicrous 6-under to force a playoff...but he isn't right...you can tell...
  • The Braves have something going....I'm going to jinx it right now....but the lineup is getting some pop all the sudden (and timely so), and any production from Kawakami and Reyes is considered to be gravy... 
  • Okay...time to put Manny to bed until early July when he comes back...
There it is...
