NBA Playoff Update
Well how has your NBA TEAM DONE AFTER THE FIRST TWO GAMES OF THE PLAYOFFS?
We have had a lot of blowout games. I don't care to watch games that are not exciting and boring. I can use my time better than that. With the entire top analyst picking the L.A. Lakers and Cleveland Cavaliers to reach the NBA Finals do we really need to watch these games? Let's just save the fans money and go straight to the NBA Finals. Not!!! The NBA is way too smart to do this? There is too much money to be made with the rest of the games (series) on the road to the NBA Finals. We all knew last year that Boston was the team to beat for the crown. This year we have a little more options. The NBA marketing machine is promoting to the fans appetite for Lakers versus Cavaliers. Kobe Bryant versus Lebron James.
Here is one blowout game for example the Atlanta Hawks versus the Miami Heat game one on Sunday night. The Heat left their game in South Beach on Sunday Night. The story from the Heat camp was that their 2 captains forbid players to go out and sample the nightlife in Atlanta while there for the first two playoff games. D-Wade had a subpar game himself only scoring 19 points. Let's give Atlanta credit for the defense game plan they played to perfection on Sunday night.
D-WADE RESPONDS TO GAME 1 DEFEAT
I know Wade can play better than this. I got to see D Wade play against Orlando Magic in Feb where he dropped Fifty on Orlando for his then personal best scoring game. This was my first time seeing Dwayne Wade and Dwight Howard in person. Dwight Howard had thirty two points on that night as well.

NBA Playoffs Started Today
The start of the NBA Playoffs is upon us finally. The Second season has begun.
Is the NBA paving a road for Lebron James to make it to the Finals for the second time?
It seems coincidental that Kevin Garnett is supposedly on the shelf for Boston the rest of the playoffs. Now Boston will have an excuse if they lose before reaching the NBA Finals or Eastern conference Finals. Let's think back to the beginning of the year all the talk was Lebron James is going to New York in 2010 to play for a bigger market team. Lebron does not have a strong enough supporting cast to help him win the NBA Title. I admit the talking about his free agency was stupid because Lebron had another whole year (season) to play. Oh what a difference a season makes for the Cleveland Cavaliers! I want you to think about all the records the Cavaliers have set this year. Best Record in the league(Home Court Advantage throughout the playoffs, Tied Best Home Record ever with the OLD Boston Celtics, Best ever SEASON RECORD FOR A Cavaliers Team,etc.(History in the Making) I have nothing against the Cavaliers. I glad that they have accomplished these feats! I want you to notice now in all the major sports that every time you turn around history is being made.
Now let's say for the sake of argument that Lebron James and Cleveland win the title this year. Does Lebron stay in Cleveland now that he has won a NBA Title? We will see. It should be interesting either way.
Strong contenders for the title this year on the East side Boston, Cleveland, Orlando. Strong Contenders on the West side L.A., Spurs, Denver, Houston.
Even losing to the Bulls today Boston should come back and beat the Bulls in the First Round of the playoffs.D

Shocking News In Miami Federer Out
Shocking News In Miami Federer OUT
KEY BISCAYNE, FL - APRIL 03: Roger Federer of Switzerland shakes hands with Novak Djokovic of Serbia after their men's semifinal during the Sony Ericsson Open at the Crandon Park Tennis Center on April 3, 2009 in Key Biscayne, Florida. (Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images)
Federer loses to Novak Djokovic in three sets at the Sony Ericsson Open today. When was the last time that World # 1 Nadal and Federer both lost at an event they both played in? The two men have dominated the events they played in the last two years. One or the other would win the tournament. I’ll have to research and see when actually the last time was and give you the correct answer. Nadal has started the year in great form winning two of the five tournaments he has played. (BNP Paribas Open, Australian Open) Nadal has reached three finals only losing one of them to Andy Murray. Federer has yet to win a title in the four tournaments he has played this year. Federer has reached three semi finals and the Australian Open Final. Is Federer in decline? I don’t think so but his confidence is shaken!
The improvement of Nadal’s game this year and Federer second straight lost to Nadal in Major Finals at the 2009 Australian Open has taken its toll on Federer mindset. The Wimbledon lost last year was devastating for Federer. Federer will bounce back but the clay season is fast approaching which Federer has been second best the last three years. Until the next tournament we shall wait and see what happens.
