Talk about a match-up. OK so yes it is just hyperbole I know this isn’t the finals might not even be the best series but for my money this is about as good as it gets, sans a Kobe vs. Lebron match-up but I’m still leaning towards that not happening. I’m glad to hear that people are finally saying they are not gonna underestimate the Hornets anymore, even though usually when everyone says that is when said team falls on their face, they have finally had enough answers to show that yes Chris Paul really is that good and his supporting cast ain’t half bad either. Yeah they are what he makes them for the most part but whoever the GM of that team is needs to get some recognition, maybe people like me learning his name would be a good start (note: the GM is Jeff Bower, Google is indeed your friend ) Anyone who knows me, or e-knows me, knows I think Chris Paul is the MVP and he also just so happens to be my favorite player to watch, I take every chance I get to talk him up but enough is enough the GM Jeff Bower needs his respect because he has built the perfect team around Chris Paul ( more on this later ) and a team that has a real shot at beating the Spurs. So why I will preview the other match-ups when they are finalized this one is too good not to get it’s own separate post. (more…)

So normally I do a post about a specific topic in sports but today I got an idea to try something new/different. Will it work ? Who knows we shall see. Over the weekend I was watching the Bernard Hopkins Joe Calzaghe fight and I had a few questions about what could be done to tweak some of the old stale rules to make boxing more exciting and lead to a better way to determine the winner. Then today I saw the post on nah right about what NYoil had to say about Nas’s new song and thought about people quick to claim Nas is on some gimmick tip trying to get attention and that got me thinking. Then to top it off there were a couple other statements made by people that literally made me shake my head wondering if these people were new to planet Earth. Add these things to the fact that I’m always thinking and trying to expand on ideas I decided to see if I could freak a post out of asking questions. Maybe I’d provide an answer ( of course my answer meaning my opinion, meaning truth aka fact, just kidding…. kind of, lmao ) to some, maybe I’d leave it up to any and all readers to answer in their own way, either way I figured it would be entertaining, to me at least and being that I live in my own world thats really all that matters. So without further ado heres the 21 questions that have been on mind lately. (more…)

OK lets face it yesterdays post was just a warm-up for this post, the Eastern Conference is very top heavy but after that it’s really a joke and I’m not just talking about those teams from NYC and Miami even the other playoff teams would probably lose to Davidson ( I told you the kid Curry could shoot ) It’s possible the best 2 teams in the league are here in the East and probably the single best resides here, no matter how much it pains me to admit it. The Celtics could do more than survive in the Western Conference and their 22-4 record against the West should be proof of that. However we won’t need to worry about that for a month or so so lets gear up and get ready for what should be the single greatest playoffs EVER. The East will be boring until the end, the West should have absolutely great match-ups from the start, some of these first round match-ups could be as good or better than some of the best conference finals in recent years. So lets not waste anymore time talking about the obvious let’s get it in. (more…)

Whats good people it’s been a minute since I’ve blessed you with a sports colum, I’ve been a bit busy but no need for details so let’s keep it moving. This has been a crazy year for the NBA, one that has managed to erase memories of last year debacle that started to drive certain fans away, i.e. ME, and brought my interest in the game back with a vengeance. Yeah the Celtics might have revived a lot of other peoples interest but their from the Boston/New England area they have had enough going for them with 2 world series rings and 4 recent Super Bowl championships with one being a perfect season, o yeah wait that didn’t happen they went 18-1 and only have 3 rings. ( laughs at self for saying ONLY 3 rings but I digress ) OK so I guess the Celtics dominating isn’t so bad after all. The real story of the season has been the Western Conference probably the best and most competitive conference/league in sports history. From the fact that the top 6 teams finished within 3 games of each other to the fact that a team with 48 wins actually missed the playoffs, while 48 wins would be good enough to earn fourth place in the East. Yeah the East after the top 2 teams really is THAT bad. (more…)
