Poor Cleveland

Just when you though Cavs fans have had it rough the past years....

NBA Playoffs Conference Finals

Alright like last time lets check my results from the second round predictions :

Eastern :
Celtics over Cavs in 7 (Celtics won in 6)
Magic over Hawks in 6 (Magic won in 4)

Western :
Lakers over Jazz in 5 (Lakers won in 4)
Spurs over Suns in 7 (Suns won in 4)

3 fucking sweeps this past round really shocked me. The Jazz I thought had matchup problems with the Lakers so no surprise there but Spurs and Hawks to just die like they did....I still don't think I underestimated the Magic but Im getting a bit worried I did seeing their blowout after blowout. And yes I picked the Celtics go check you fucks I'll take my credit now! Overall it was a horrible second round, one of the worst in years and hopefully the upcoming Conference finals will help us put the second round out of our minds. Here are my predictions :

Eastern Conference :

Celtics over Magic in 7 : Why? I have no idea. Yes they beat the Cavs but everything is pointing to a Magic win in this series. They look so good against the Hawks and Bobcats but that is exactly it, it was the Hawks and Bobcats. With KG getting 100% and Rondo playing out of his mind they very well could take this series. Mostly though I'm picking the Celtics because I want to see another Boston LA Finals as I think the Celtics have the better chance to beat the Lakers than the Magic do. Celtics in 7 close fun games


Lakers over Suns in 6 : The worst possible thing for Laker haters like myself happened when they swept the Jazz. They got extra rest. So now they are fully rested to play the fast pace Suns who in my opinion are playing way above their potential. You gotta take the Lakers here and I'll say it goes six just because I think Nash can squeeze out atleast a victory or 2.

There ya have it although I'll probably just be on Lebron watch over the next 2 weeks!

Welcome To NY

NBA Playoffs Second Round

Ok so it has started but I'm still going to predict the results. First lets take a look at my first round results :

East :
Cavs over Bulls in 4 (Cavs won in 5 games)
Orlando over Charlotte in 5 (Magic won in 4)
Atlanta over Milwaukee in 5 (Atlant won in 7)
Boston over Miami in 6 (Boston won in 5)

West :
Lakers over Thunder in 6 (Lakers won in 6)
Dallas over Spurs in 6 (Spurs won in 6)
Suns over Portland in 7 (Suns won in 6)
Nuggets over Jazz in 6 (Jazz won in 6)

Ok so overall I didn't do poorly. I'm actually happy the Spurs won since I picked them to win the entire thing in the beginning of the year....on a side note Nuggets are such a disgrace to George Karl.

So as for the second round, it has begun and is full of intriguing matchups. Here is how I see it playing out :

East :
Celtics over Cavs in 7 : I can feel it. Either this round or the next the Cavs will fall on their face. I still dont think they have a great team yes I'm the minority but fuck it they don't. Shaq is old Jamison is alright but the rest are scrubs. Lebron is the best in the world but I think the Celtics can pull it off.

Magic over Hawks in 6 : Hawks create matchup problems for the Magic but I think the Magic are too talented and well rested for Atlanta. Will be a very entertaining series in terms of gameplay.


West :
Lakers over Jazz in 5 : Ok lets get this right the Jazz beat the Nuggets because the Nuggets dont play as a team and are divas. So with that being said the injured Jazz will not come close to getting more than a game against the Lakers. Worst possible scenario for Laker haters is seeing them beat up on the Jazz and rest it out while the other series goes 7 and speaking of....

Spurs over Suns in 7 : Spurs v Suns well that hasnt been done before. This series like previous ones will be good. Obviously two drastically different styles here but I like the momentum the Spurs got in beating the underachiving Mavs last series so they are my pick to take this tough tough tough series.

There ya have it! Gonna be good!

Shaq Lost His Mind

Shaq = Marbury?

Cavs wont win shit btw...

DWade To NY 2010 Fuck Lebron

GOOOOOOOD DAMN

09-10 NBA Preview

Basketball is back and the season of the "super" team is here. With a very very busy offseason seeing most of the strong teams get even stronger it might make most of us forget the word parity. Still though it will throw in some great matchups on a weekly basis.

The West is so strong this year with of course the Lakers with basically 5 all stars on the team with the addition of Artest and keeping Odom too. Then you have the Mav's picking up Shawn Marion to team up with Dirk and the aging Jason Kidd (too little too late too old?). Finally though you have the San Antonio Spurs picking up Richard Jefferson which is a minor move if you think about it but it is key. Especially with Manu healthy you can literally have a very scary 4 man set of Parker, Manu, R Jeff and Duncan. Not to mention they basically got a steal in the second round in Dejuan Blair who was averaging near impressive double doubles in pre-season. Duncan can get his rest for the post season and the Spurs will not miss too much of a beat in Blair. Thats my team to win it all but sleeper during the season are the Trailblazers. Another year older and a better PG in Andre Miller leading the team will vault them to 3rd.

The East is a three horse race and I dont think you will find anyone crazy enough to not say so. The Cavs, Celtics and Magic are the top dogs and rightfully so. The Cavs picked up Shaq, Celtics picked up Rasheed and the Magic well they got Vince Carter. So pick your poison...I go with Cavs to do their regular season dominance and then lose to the Celtics in the playoffs. Magic will push any team they play to game 7's in the playoffs but I think the Celtics get back to the Finals. Oh and as for my Knicks....Danilo will be great, Jordan Hill the rookie will be a bust and Toney Douglas will be a starter by the end of the year. Nate Robinson will be traded at the deadline too and we will win less than 28 games.


With all that said Im no expert so I wont go into what players will do this etc etc but here are my predictions:

Champion : San Antonio Spurs
West Conference Top 3 : 1. Lakers, 2. Spurs, 3. Portland
East Conference Top 3 : 1. Cavs, 2. Celtics, 3. Orlando (Celtics win the East)

MVP : Lebron James
Rookie of the Year : Tyreke Evans (Kings)....Blake Griffin is gonna miss 6 weeks
Most Improved Player : Danilo Gallinari (Knicks)

Lebron 2010

Lebron to the Knicks!

Who Picked The Magic!

Suck on that haters

NBA Playoffs Conference Finals

The finals are here! Lets take a look at how my genius fared last round.

East Semi Finals :
Cavs over Hawks in 5 (Cavs won in 4)
Celtics over Magic in 7 (Magic won in 7)

West Semi Finals :
Lakers over Rockets in 6 (Lakers won in 7)
Nuggets over Mavs in 6 (Nuggets won in 5)

Not too bad. I did say that the Magic would win if there was not a Garnett comeback. Which was so talked about at that game 7 in Chicago but if you brought it up in this series your crazy? What was that about. Magic won in a blowout game 7 last night. Yawn. Celtics will be back big next year. Cavs just keep rolling will someone win a game against them already!

In the West we saw the worst and best of the Lakers on every other night. I really hate this team especially since they never give 100% every night. The Nuggets staring Carmeellloooo Anthony beat the shit out of the Mavs. Thank god the Mavs are so boring and bad. Jason Kidd isnt the answer never was!

Now comes the Conference Finals first off in the East I maybe crazy but Im picking the Magic. Charles Barkley convinced me last night that the Cavs do have biggg matchup problems with the Magic. So with that being said :

Magic in 6

Thats right Magic in 6. Stan Van Gundy power!

In the West im also doing crack. Go Nuggets baby. Im picking Denver because I like their team and their passion. I think Billups makes a big difference. The Lakers obviously have weaknesses and there is no better player than Chauncey who can come up the court and target that weakness. Nene and Kenyon Martin and even Birdman really could have big series against Gasol and Bynum who seem to have forgotten to play defense. Melo vs Kobe will be a great thing to watch.

Nuggets in 7


Nuggets v Magic in the finals. Its probably bad that I predicted with what I want to happen so bet on the Cavs and Lakers for a Kobe v Lebron finals that Nike and Vitamin Water want.

Nike x Lebron MVP Witness Pack

Im Witness to seeing him come to the Knicks in 2010 baby.

NBA Playoffs

Well the NBA Playoffs start tomorrow and like my feelings toward the NHL playoffs I couldnt be more excited. Especially when TNT does the games in the US...ESPN not so much. First round matchups are pretty good and so are my predictions!

East First Round :
Cavs over Pistons in 4
Celtics over Bulls in 7
Magic over 76ers in 5
Hawks over Heat in 7

West First Round :
Lakers over Jazz in 6
Nuggets over Hornets in 7
Mavs over Spurs in 7
Trailblazers over Rockets in 7


So here is the reasoning. Starting off in the East. Cavs are going to kill the Pistons no question. Celtics will have a really hard time now that just 2 minutes ago they announced no Garnett for the playoffs. I think they will edge the Bulls in 7 but then go bye bye in the 2nd round. Magic over the Sixers. Give it to Dwight Howard and call it a night. Hawks Heat will be the best series. The Hawks have been exciting to watch for years now and the Heat have Dwayne Wade. What more could you ask.

The West is just full of great teams. Lakers Jazz I think will be a great match up. The Lake show looks to be unstoppable this year but I think the Jazz are dangerous enough to get some wins against them. For the Jazz to get anything out of the series though they need to win one of the first 2 away games. Nuggets Hornets is another series with excitement. Young players good PG battle, going with Nuggets just because Chauncey to Carmelo is too sick. Mavs Spurs can be summed up into one last name *in the voice of Charles Barkley* GINOOOOOBLLIII. No Manu no win for the Spurs. Mavs take it in 7, would not be shocked that the Spurs won but I think no Manu is huge. Finally one of the teams on the cusp of being great, the Trailblazers play the Rockets. No TMAC of course and the Rockets have been good with Artest, Scola and Yao. This was really tough to pick but Ill go with the Blazers. I like Roy and I think Pryzbilla and Oden coming off the bench will be a nice 1-2 to counter Yao. Very interesting series though.

Go Knicks!

Stockton, CA Americas Most MIsrable City

Where the hell is Stockton?!

Here is the Top 10:
1. Stockton, CA (City really?)
2. Memphis, TN (BBQ Plus Country Music and Jesus Fail)
3. Chicago, IL (No Jordan and the Cubs still suck)
4. Cleveland, OH (Should be #1)
5. Modesto, CA (Made famous by a Murderer)
6. Flint, MI (Cant really help it that American cars suck)
7. Detroit, MI (Like Flint probably should be #1 over Cleveland because Guns, Eminem and Kid Rock)
8. Buffalo, NY (Sports teams suck)
9. Miami, FL (Hurricanes? Otherwise dont know why this is on the list)
10. St. Louis, MO (Its Missouri after all)
