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.
