Hurricane season officially started June 1, as you can tell by looking out your window, too bad the Carolina Hurricanes didn’t get the memo. The Hurricanes season ended before mother natures hurricane season started. The Hurricanes made a great run, I think they made it deeper into the playoffs than most expected. Every time I was at a bar during a Canes game there was a buzz in the room, most excellent vibes until Pittsburgh came to town. Pittsburgh had the Canes number from game 1. Sweeping them in 4 straight games. As Donna would say: dddddamn. Sorry Pete. Yes this guy. Love ya. Maybe next year.
The final series between the Detroit Redwings and the Pittsburgh Penguins has been electric. Sidney Crosby of Pittsburgh is fun to watch, he is always around the puck. I’ve had a hard time getting into it since the Canes took an early exit, but I still peek here and there. Detroit took an early 2-0 series lead but Pittsburgh has fought back to tie the series up at 2 a piece. The Detroit Redwings are like the N.Y Yankees of the NHL. Hockeytown and what not. I’d probably say at this point I’m pulling for the Detroit. I have a friend of mine, Chris Luebke who lives and breathes Detroit, anything Detroit. Except for Eminem I would suspect. So if another Stanley Cup for Detroit makes Luebke happy, then come on Detroit. That’s all I’m saying.
They’re playing basketball. We love that basketball. They’re playing basketball. We love that basketball. Kurtis Blow. That’s right.
Cleveland. What happen? No really, what happen? You guys were playing great. I guess one player doesn’t make a team after all. The magic ran out, in Orlando. Lebron will have to wait another year to try an earn a title. Maybe he can go to sportsmanship summer camp or something in the off season. After being elimanated in game 6 by Orlando, Lebron left the court without shaking hands with any Orlando player. Disappointing. I mean really? Didn’t they teach you that in college? That’s right, you didn’t play college ball. Kobe either. Too bad for you guys. The likes of Gary Williams or Coach K would’ve set your asses straight. King who? Kobe what? Oh well. And I liked you Lebron? Akward.
So it’s the LA Lakers and Kobe vs. the Orlando Magic and Dwight Howard. Kobe is trying for his 4th title while Lakers coach Phil Jackson is looking to win his 10th, wow 10 titles. Of course he won 6 of those titles with Mr. Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls. If the Lakers win he would pass Red Auerbach with the most titles of any coach in NBA history. Auerbach won 9 titles with the Boston Celtics.
Game 1 is in the record books. The Lakers put a hurting on the Magic beating them 100-75. Ouch. Can the Magic regroup? Obama predicted that the Lakers would win in 6 games. Obama knows his b-ball. Obama picked the Tarheels to win the NCAA championship and they did just that. I’m just saying. Dwight Howard didn’t do much to help the Magic, going 1-6 from the field, scoring 10 of his 12 points from the free throw line. Howard had no dunks, none. That’s rare. Kobe perhaps had one of the best playoff performances of his career, scoring 40 points, grabbing 8 rebounds and dishing out 8 assists. I’m not a big fan of Kobe, but the cat is a superstar in a town of movie stars. Kudos to him. Although, I still wouldn’t let the guy baby sit my kids, if I had any. Just my opinion. The Lakers look unbeatable. Time will tell. So check this out, here’s a few stats that are interesting. Phil Jackson’s teams are 43-0 when winning game 1 of any playoff series. Who knew? Orlando, since becoming a franchise is 0-5 in the finals. The numbers don’t lie. Call me superstitious. I’m just saying.
