The Miami Heat being down 2-1 against the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals is not LeBron's fault or D-Wade's or even coach Erik Spoelstra this rest solely on the shoulders of GM Pat Riley. As soon as Chris Bosh went down, the Miami Heat became exposed. Within their 14 man roster they have 3 scorers and thats it, everyone else are role players who rely on the big 3 to create points for them. Mario Chalmers 25 point outburst is an aberration rather a norm. Without Chris Bosh not only do the Miami Heat now have only 2 scorers they arguably have the worst Center-Power forward combination in the NBA, with Chris Bosh, they were average at best, and now they are playing against the bruising, physical Indiana Pacers, that's just not good. It's not looking good when the Miami Heat only chance of advancing, maybe...gulp, is Eddy Curry. It's hard to believe in a guy who doesn't even spell Eddie right.
The Spurs remind me of a dominant college women's basketball team. They are excellent ball movers, unselfish and seemingly make every wide open shot made available to them. Maybe the Clippers can steal a game but that's about it. The Thunder took the Lakers best shot and won, this series is over boo, The Thunder will sweep LA and before anyone says don't count out Kobe, I will remind you that Kobe got swept last year in the second round and that team is better than this years. And that ladies and gentlemen is how you deductive reason!!!
The Boston Celtics are now my favorites to advance to the NBA Finals. If you think about it, it would rank as one of the most improbable playoff runs in the history of the NBA. They weren't even considered a playoff team almost halfway thru the season and now they will dispatch of the 76ers. I thought they matched up well with the Heat even if they had Chris Bosh and although I think the series would go 7 games with Indiana they match up well with the Pacers. On a side note, Kevin Garnett is consistently showing why he is one of the 20 best players to ever lace them up, yeah I said it, prove me wrong with your Charles Lumpkley and Karl the mail man (during the regular season but spam mail during the playoffs) Malone being better?
The American League East long considered the best division in baseball with the budget busting, Yanks and Red Sox along with the savvy Tampa Bay Rays are even tougher with the emergence of Baltimore and Toronto. That division may end up with 5 out of the top 7 teams in the East. Then you look at National league East and you think the same thing, in that anyone of those teams you could see in the World Series. But the 2 best teams are the Rangers and the Dodgers and that's got everything to do with the MVP front runners Josh Hamilton and Matt Kemp boo.
More random thoughts
If you took that improbable run, when a combination of Mavs choking , horrible officiating and Wade agreeably going ape shit in the playoffs. What has D Wade done thats not different or worse than LeBron James in the playoffs. Jonathan Vilma should sue NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, that man has got so much power I wouldn't be surprised if he was a Sith Lord. I think it's hilarious that the city of Los Angeles, with the Lakers and Clippers both in the 2nd round of the playoffs and yet the LA Kings are running shit. I gotta go and watch the White Sox sweep the Cubs and watch the disgruntled, drunk cubbie fans wreak havoc on the NATO peace summit in downtown Chi...Dueces!
