Washington Redskins

Now i am a Redskin fan, today Jim Zorn was fired and Shanahan will most likely take over. I also went to the Redskin game on Sunday where the Chargers 2nd string beat the Redskins. I stayed at the Hilton Motel and it happens the Redskins were also staying there, and i got to meet Antwan Randel El and Andrew Carter.

Now, i went to the bars downtown Washington and may have had to much to drink. When i arrived back Jason Campbell was in the main lobby. So i ask him " your Jason Campbell hey?" and he replies "No!"

Haha now i am no idiot

So i say " Yes you are you bum, retire and leave the redskins alone"

i was shortly escorted to my room

Adam Morrison Gets A Ring

So, Adam Morrison is still my favorite basketball player, and the Orlando Magic are my favorite team. So when this NBA Finals matchup ended up happening, i guess it was a win win situation for myself.

Morrison doesn't play in one playoff game, dominates the sidelines, gets in fights with Sasha V.... and gets a NBA Championship ring

Anything Is Possible.....

NBA Finals : Magic vs. Lakers Preview

So Orlando beat the Cleveland Cavaliers in 6 games. After the game LeBron James left the court and did not shake any players hands and didn't talk to the media. Dwight Howard had his way in game 6 and the only game James was held in check, only game he was under 30 points in the series. But nonetheless, now it's time for the real battle.



Orlando Magic vs L.A. Lakers

It has been 14 years since Orlando's first NBA finals trip where they were slept by the Houston Rockets. That team was lead by Shaquille O'Neal and Penny Hardaway with a great supporting cast of Horace Grant, Nick Anderson, and Dennis Scott. This years Magic team is very comparable with the 95 team. Dwight Howarad and Hedo Turkgoglu are the go to guys with great help from Rashard Lewis, Courtney Lee, and Rafer Alston. Also Jameer Nelson was a NBA All-Star this year and has the possibility of returning to the team for the finals. The Orlando Magic were 2-0 in the season series season this year with Nelson being the leading scorer in both games.

The Lakers were picked to be the guarenteed Western Conference pick. Sure, they did win the Western Conference, but they had their doubts. They went 7 games against the Houston Rockets who were without Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming. They went 6 games agsint the Denver Nuggets but many were picking the Nuggest to win the series. Lamar Odom has been questionable, the same with Andrew Bynum, and Derek Fisher cannot hit a jump shot. While everybody who does not know the Orlando Magic is picking the Lakers in 4 or 5 games, I Pick Orlando in 6.

Magic vs Cavaliers Game 4 Preview

Now i am an Orlando Magic fan, and Orlando is leading the series 2-1 right now and game 4 is tonight in Orlando. Lebron James is averaging 42 points per game and did this to me.....


But i have recovered, and before this series started i predicted Orlando wins in 5 games, and im looking like a genius right now. I will speak more about the series after game 4 tonight.

Orlando Magic vs Boston Celtics Thoughts

So the impossible has happened, the Magic defeated the Celtics in game 7 last night. Now i think Orlando should of been up 6-1 in the series but ill take a 4-3 victory. Orlando is a team that relies upon their ability to shoot the 3. They shot as a team 13-21 and 61 percent. Going into this game i was thinking somebody on the Celtics "Ray Allen" was going to have the game of his life to end my dreams of Orlando winning the Finals.

I got off the golf course yesterday around 6, was pretty intoxicated, and caught the game just in time, so it was a good day.

So we are gonna some up this series with some heroes and goats....

Heroes:
1. Hedo Turkoglu
2. Michael Pietrus
3. Eddie House

Goats:
1. Rajon Rondo
2. Stephon Marbury
3. Dwight Howard

Magic vs. Cavaliers in 3 days

J.J. Redick

So, the Orlando Magic/Boston Celtic series is tied 1-1, the Magic blow a 25 point lead in game 1 and end up winning, now we are going to head to game 2, Boston lead the entire game. Eddie House went crazy for 31 points, Rondo and Allen played respectful, but why didn't the Magic want to end the series there and go up 2-0? You are going to tell me that if they really wanted to they couldn't shut down Eddie House? Paul Pierce was in foul trouble the entire game. Now he will come back energized for game 3 and the Celtics will most likely pull this game out. Orlando is my favorite team but after that game, i don't see them winning this series. Here are my reasons, 1. Hedo Turkoglu is getting too much playing time for how poorly he is shooting. 2. Perkins can hold his own against Howard and prevent him from dunks and force hook shots that Howard hasn't developed yet.

Now after watching last nights game, i can tell you one thing, there was only one person who wanted to play last night, and that was J.J. Redick, he has scored 15 points in game one and two, but was in foul trouble in last nights game, only reason he did not score more. Rafer Alston is also facing a 1 game suspension for bitch slapping Eddie House in the back of the head for embarrassing the entire Magic squad.

Lakers/Rockets

now the Lakers tied up the series last night 1-1. Kobe Bryant dropped 40 points and had one of the craziest in game plays i have ever witnessed, he had the ball at the top left of the free throw line, stopped his dribble and was trapped, threw the ball of the backboard caught it and put it in fighting off Yao. In the game, Artest was thrown out of the game due to arguing with Kobe after Kobe elbowed Artest to the throat.

I will get more detailed into these series later on in the series.

On a Sidenote.... I noticed Adam Morrison wasn't suited up for the Lakers, i ponder the reasoning.

The Polish Hammer

Last night one of the best nights in a long time for sports for me. Now being a Orlando Magic, Gonzaga Bulldogs, Detroit Tigers, Washington Redskins, and Chicago Bulls fan, usually does not turn out in my way. Now first, to the Chicago vs. Boston game.

Bulls/Celtics

So i have been staying quiet after game 5, Brad Miller air balls a layup when Rondo knocks out his tooth, then bricks the free throw, now from that game there are a few things that bothered me. First, Bulls blow 10 point lead with about 5 minutes left, but they are a young team so i guess what do you expect? Now, i have been doing a lot of hating on Brad Miller for turnovers, having a 3 inch vertical, and being the slowest person i've ever seen on a court. When Brad Miller went to the line, when an announcer states that Brad Miller is a 85% free throw shooter, and that hes good in these situations, you know he's missing the shot. Then, for the 2nd free throw, he throws it off the backboard, misses rim, you would think that all players know the ball must be touched by the rim. Anyways that was game 5, lets move to game 6.



So after game 5, I think Rondo is a POS, not for talent, but for how much of a cheap player he has been this series. Trips Hinrich and knocks out Millers tooth in one game, now we are in game 6, Bulls are up about 8, him and Hinrich fall out of bounds by Rondo throwing Hinrich to the ground, Hinrich got up, and he had that fighting pounce like he was gonna lay out Rondo, and i believed it may happen.

So we are going to fast forward to the 4th quarter. Bulls are up 91-81 with 8 minutes left. And typical Bulls, blow the lead, but not only blow the lead, let the Celtics go on a 18-0 run, and take the lead 99-91. So there I am, at a buddies house, wearing my Kirk Hinrich jersey, pouting with my best friend who also is a Bulls fan, thinking wow i hate the Celtics and that the Bulls should be up in this series 5-1, if a series could go that far. Then, a miracle happened, a such miracle that cannot be explained by divine intervention, the most unexpected player, Brad Miller of all people, hits a 3 pointer to bring them within 2 points with 30 seconds left. They get the ball back, and an deja vu moment, Miller top of the key, taking it to the rack, Rondo infront, and gets the layup to drop. The Once goat, any many rants from me hating on Miller, has been extracted. In game 5, Paul Pierce hit 4 huge jumpers, all going to his right. Now we came to the conclusion, he can't hit a jumper going to his left. Pierce had the chance to hit a game winner, and to our surprise, got the ball on the right side of the court, and with Hinrich guarding him, crossed over to his left, and bricked the shot. Needless to say, Joakim Noah, steals the ball, slams it down and gets the foul. Game should be over, no, i think Hinrichs layup was goaltended, and think of this possibility, if Rondo would of hit that jumper, what would the writers and critics say about Derek Rose, and his free throw shooting. His poor clutch free throw shooting costs him a national championship at Memphis, then eliminates them from the playoffs. Anyways, game 7 here we come.

Magic/76ers

So, i have always been a fan of the Orlando Magic since being old enough to follow the Magic. I mean i was 8 years old and still remember Nick "The Brick" Anderson costing Orlando the series in the 95 NBA finals.

Now Dwight Howard is suspended, and Courtney Lee is out for the playoffs. Now most sportswriters count the Magic out. Not me, now me knowing the Orlando Magic, know this team. Marcin Gortat will be a starting center sometime in his career, and last night showed it. He is quite the celebrity over in Poland, and he had some big plays last night. But we are going to head in this direction, i am watching Around The Horn, and they say about the game, "J.J. Redick siting tonight", and Redick who i still trust, hits 5 3's and scores 15 points. That says enough, i was expecting a 30 point night though LOL.

Now lets see if i can get my Magic/Bulls second round matchup.

Muslim Basketball

Today was a very good day of basketball for me. Bulls won in double overtime and Hedo Turk hit a game winner against the 76ers. Both series are tied 2-2. Now i have been following both of these series very closely because they are my two favorite basketball teams. But Orlando has some serious problems right now with the 76ers. I just do not understand how they can have 10+ point leads in the 4th quarter and blow all 3 leads too have crazy finishes. They are lucky they are 2-1 in those 3 games. I think Orlando will be fine in the series but i am not 100% sure. Courtney Lee on the otherhand is the future of Orlando, he has been the most consistent player on the team with exceptions to Dwight Howard. Rashard Lewis and Hedo finally showed up to play, but the team is really missing Jameer Nelson right now running the offense.



For the Baby Bulls, Ben Gordon might be the best finisher and clutch performer in the league right now. I have been following him all season, and some of the shots he has hit in this series are unbelievable. To bad Brad Miller cost them game two or they would be up 3-1 in the series instead of 2-2.

I am also hoping that Adam Morrison gets some playing time in at least one Laker playoff game.

Fire Vinny Del Negro Because Of Brad MIller!!!!

Okay, so the Bulls lost to the Celtics because "Jesus" was finally hitting shots for once in his life tonight, but the game should of never came down to this. The fact that Brad Miller was in the game for Tyrus Thomas is a joke. Thomas won them game one after Miller had 5 straight turnovers at the end of the 2nd half. Then tonight Thomas has 6 blocks, Noah and Miller cannot get a rebound if their life depended on it, and Celtics come back. Chicago had a 5 point lead, and Vinny decides that running pick and rolls from Rose to Miller was a good offensive set when Miller cannot catch a pass, or jump high enough to dunk a ball. Chicago should be up 2-0 but for some crazy reason the series is tied 1-1.

Performers:
1. Ray Allen
2. Ben Gordon
3. Glen Davis

Goats:
1. Vinny Del Negro
2. Brad Miller

I Hate Stan Van Gundy

In yesterday's game, Orlando is up 18 in the third quarter, you are playing the 76ers who have one player that is any good in Iquadola, you put in the reserves from 18 to 8 points lead, your playing turkoglu when he has about 4 points in the game, i understand he is clutch but that was last season, not this.... with 2.5 seconds left, the play you should of attempted you did two seasons ago



Now get your act together team and win the series
