Whew! I love this game. Both conference final games have been great, superstars have stepped forward and lifted their teams to victory. The road teams have played exceptionally well, and won on their opponents court, it has been great so far.
Chauncey, Melo and the Nuggets rising up and taking a victory in LA. LeBron hitting a big shot with one second left avoid a 2-0 deficit to the Magic. The 2009 playoffs have been filled with combacks, determination, strength, stamina and plenty of drama. What a way to start a holiday weekend.
I can't wait for each game three.

And The Winner Is
NBA Draft
The Los Angeles Clippers won the draft lottery and will undoubtedly select Blake Griffin number 1 in the upcoming 2009 NBA draft. With this selection it appears that the Clippers could make a huge jump in wins. Blake Griffin is the next piece of the puzzle for this seemingly always struggling franchise. He will bring toughness, skill and could become the face of the franchise, that is if he stays in LA beyond his initial contract. Congratulations, now get to work, BD (Baron Davis) needs to be in the 2010 playoofs.
Lakers vs. Nuggets
Kobe and Melo put on show in game 1 of the western conference finals on Tuesday night. The difference in the game was Chauncey Billups uncharacteristically missing three free throws. Nah, can't blame it on Chauncey it was a close game and could have gone either way. It is just he is shooting at over 90%, he seems automatic and many times he has been. Unfortunately he had an off night from the line. I am sure he will be back to his old self in game 2
WOW! Orlando
Orlando Magic have surprised me twice within the last week, pulling off the big victory in Boston and now in Cleveland. They have a good team, but the only question mark was could they be tough enough to move on. They seem to be using their size advantage, and doing all the right things to win ball games. Let's see just how far they go.

FANTASTIC!
As a basketball fan I consider the NCAA Basketball tournament the pinnacle in terms of pure excitement. Nothing compares, to the three weekends of upsets and expectations met by tournament participants. That is until I started watching the first round of the NBA Playoffs featuring the defending Champion Boston Celtics versus Chicago Bulls.
This series has had dramatic moment after dramatic moment. Six games, seven overtimes, high scoring, good defense, hard fouls, blood, sweat, but no tears just yet.
Each night a new hero emerges, Derrick Rose, Rajon Rondo, Ben Gordon, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Joakim Noah and the list goes on.
Games six was one of the best games I have witnessed in quite some time. The young upstart Bulls going toe to toe with the veteran laden Celtics. Whew! They are bringing it in this series.
If game seven is anything like the previous six, you better not miss it May 2 at 8:00pm. Man, I Love This Game.
