Hello Brooklyn

The nets are here and yes below is their new logo. They went black & white to me its boring but we'll see next season so I can commit to that first impression. Hope they keep D Will and get D12 so we can have a nice NYC rivalry on our hands. Sorry Nets fans when you were in Jersey there was no rivalry.

NBA Playoffs Are Here! 1st Round Predictions

Well the fast pace lockout shortened season is over and its time for the playoffs. No real surprises this year in either conference in terms of playoff teams but injuries and parody make this one of the most competitive playoffs I can remember. Was pretty good in previous years predicting who would win so lets start things off with the West Side!

Western Conference

1. San Antonio Spurs defeats 8. Utah Jazz in 4 Games

Can't see Utah winning a game here unless Al Jefferson plays out of his mind ala Zach Randolph last year. That's not gonna happen though and a strong deep and a 100% Manu means the Spurs sweep the young Jazz.

2. Oklahoma City Thunder defeats 7. Dallas Mavericks in 6 Games

Elbow gate is over Harden is going to be back for the series which is big. OKC almost beat the Mavs last year but will get the job done this year. Mavs are just getting old and stale. Lost key players from last years Championship team and just aren't the same. See them winning atleast 1 game this series but just because they are the champs and Dirk is there I'll give them 2. OKC in 6.

6. Denver Nuggets defeats 3. Los Angeles Lakers in 7 Games

Uh oh what's this? Yes upset city here. Denver pulls it off. This to me is not about superstars but all around deep teams. Denver has it LA doesnt come close. Metta World War is out for all but game 7 here so that even kills the depth more for LA. Denver has no match for Bynum, Gasol and Kobe and yes that sounds crazy but in every other way I give the nod to Denver including coaching. Denver runs, plays D, moves the ball around and isn't selfish. Either way this is going to be one hell of a series as its a clash of styles like no other series has.

5. Los Angeles Clippers defeats 4. Memphis Grizzlies in 7 Games

Did I tell you how exciting these playoffs are going to be?! Well this is going to be easily my favorite series to watch besides the Knicks. These 2 teams are so young and talented its unfair. LA doesn't have too much of a bench but their starting 5 is dangerous. I give them the edge over Memphis because of one guy CP3. Look he won series in New Orleans with nobody.

Eastern Conference

1. Chicago Bulls defeats 8. Philadelphia 76ers in 5 Games

Philly has a solid team yes but Chicago is just too strong for them. Even if D Rose isn't 100% they move on and in 5 games giving D Rose extra time to heal for the next series.....

2. Miami Heat defeats 7. New York Knicks in 7 Games

Yes I know I am a Knicks fan and yes I know I hate Lebron and the Heat with a passion but hear me out. I'm saying 7 games because the Knicks are really gelling post D'Antoni. You have matchup problems across the board for the Heat. The key here are two matchups. Amare vs Bosh is the biggest in my mind. If Amare can shut down Bosh Knicks have a chance to win some games here. The real key and this is obvious is Carmelo has to be lights out like he has been here at the end of the year. He needs to do everything Lebron is doing but more. Thats the only way the Knicks have a shot. With all that being said I still don't see them taking it but I'll give it 7 games. Go Knicks!

3. Indiana Pacers defeats 6. Orlando Magic in 6 Games

Why no one talks about Indiana boggles my mind but I'm a believer. We are talking about a team with great depth and a really really good Center in Hibbert. Now Orlando here will not have Dwight "team ruin-er" Howard but this is where Stan Van shows his coaching ability. He will pull off two wins against a strong Indiana team. Yes they lose but that hey they don't get swept!

4. Boston Celtics defeats 5. Atlanta Hawks in 5 Games

Atlanta has a lot of talent but they need to dump some to get a legit Point Guard. Been saying it for years! Smith, Johnson and Horford is sick but you have no point guard. Trade Smith get a PG in there and we can talk about being more than just a 4 seed every year. Celtics win this easily because of Rondo. Rondo has been the best shot creating PG this season and that's all he will do this series. I literally could see him get 30 assists against the Hawks this round. Celtics will enjoy a nice easy series here and then have to face the Bulls....


So there ya go Enjoy the games!

Stan Van Gundy Is A G

Poor Stan he is such a talented coach but has to deal with this immensely talented selfish baby. We'll see how this saga ends but either of them are gone at the end of the year and 99% chance its Stan as Orlando execs are basically Dwights bitch.

Shaq vs Tyson Gay

With appearances from Dwight Howard, Maurice Green, Desean Jackson, and Chris Johnson for a relay race....pretty cool Dwight Howard is a beast!

The Playoffs Are Over

The Penguins won in 7 YES and the Lakers won in 5 BOO. It was pretty much inevitable that the Lakers would win as I predicted. They actually played to their potential the whole series which wasnt the case the entire playoffs leading people to believe the Magic had a chance. As for the Penguins it was it was great to see Crosby capture a Stanley Cup (as well as Malkin). 2 hot shots that really can lead the NHL back to glory or maybe thats too optimistic. Whatever as long as the Red Wings lose.

NBA Finals

It sucks that the Finals are here already! The playoffs have been more than exciting in almost every game. Even with going with what I wanted against being logically I came out 50-50:

Conference Finals :

Magic in 6 (Magic won in 6)

Nuggets in 7 (Lakers won in 6)

Very cool that I got the Magic right and basically for all the right reasons too! Lakers showed at the end of the series that maybe they can turn it on for more than one game at a time which could be bad for the Magic. So who is going to win? Im going to have to go with the Lakers on this. I think both teams provide match-up nightmares and I think it could go 7 but I got to go with Kobe in the spotlight here. Bynum wont be able to cope with Howard until he proves me he isnt soft defensively. Gasol Lewis is a tricky matchup since Lewis doesnt play the PF the way its normally played but Pau is better so Pau wins that battle . Then you have Kobe vs Lee which despite how great a rookie Lee is its Kobe so Kobe wins. Now at the other positions basically besides Hedo over Ariza and probably a tie with Hedo and Odom the Lakers win every other battle. So it will take some amazing coaching by Stan Van Gundy, no foul trouble for Dwight Howard and maybe some luck for the Magic to take this Championship from the Lakers.

Lakers in 6

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.

Pff I Can Do That Too...

Dwight Howard aka Superman showing you he isnt just a one trick pony(dominating the paint).
