So unless you’ve been under a rock here lately you’re aware that the NBA and NHL playoffs are in full swing. I personally am not a huge fan of either, but a fan nonetheless.
I will always pull for the home state Carolina Hurricanes, too bad the Charlotte Bobcats stink. The NHL has had some intense games as of late. 3 of the 4 semifinal series were all decided in game 7. The Canes vs. Bruins game 7 went into OT. I couldn’t take my eyes off the damn television. With less than 90 seconds left in OT, I was just about to go grab a fresh beer and a quick smoke, glad I didn’t. Scott Walker grabbed a rebound off a blocked shot and flipped it right over Thomas’s shoulder. Goal. Game over. Series over. In Boston even. I think I heard a simultaneous roar over the whole state of N.C, or most of it anyway. Or, maybe it was just my friend Pete.
Walker delivered the knock-out punch, again. Back in game 5, down 4-0 with little time left Walker delivered his first knock-out punch, with his fist. Ouch. Possibly breaking the orbital bone (basically his eye socket) of Bruins player Aaron Ward. Good thing he was just fined and not suspended for a few games. Walker might not have been there to score the winning goal. That’s all I’m saying. C’mon Canes.
The NHL conference finals are all set, in the east its Pittsburgh vs. Carolina, and in the west its Detroit vs. Chicago. Detroit and Chicago start things off on Sunday afternoon in the windy city. Pittsburgh and Carolina will play on Monday night in the steel city.
Let me just say for starters, the NBA’s MVP, Lebron James is the new Michael Jordan. Not to take anything away from Kobe, but Lebron has the style and character that Kobe doesn’t. Now, all he needs to do it get some rings for his fingers. And he is well on his way. The Cleveland Cavaliers haven’t lost a playoff game yet. I definitely would like to see Cleveland win it all. Joe Smith, a former Maryland Terrapin also plays for Cleveland. Gives me one more reason to pull for Cleveland. Just for the record. I’m a huge Terrapin fan, not that anyone cares.
Cleveland will play the winner of Boston vs. Orlando. Game 7 is on Sunday. Boston can’t win without Kevin Garnett. Orlando Magic center, Dwight Howard had a enormous game 6 to force a game 7. Yeah, Howard is bad man. Superman, if you will. And then there’s the Lakers and Kobe, I could do without Kobe and the pretentious Lakers. But that’s just my opinion. Houston and LA play Sunday as well, for the chance to play the Denver Nuggets.
The Dallas Mavericks vs. Denver Nuggets series should have been played on ice or down on the blacktop court with chain nets. Lots of technical fouls, pushing and shoving, cursing, bad mouthing of family members. It was a joke. Denver Nugget Kenyon Martin is a bum and so is Dallas owner Mark Cuban. What a sideshow. Not much respect from me for either of them, or either team. Makes for good television I guess. That’s all I’m saying. C’mon Cavs.

“The Junior League Band is an old-time inspired rock band fronted by the Georgia grown banjo, vocalist, Lissy Rosemont.
