Man i think i am done sticking up for the Lakers i know they have the talent and i know they can be one of the best teams in the league but seriously right now they are to slow and just now playing good basketball settling for the outside shoot not driving to the basket or not looking for another pass before you just pull up and shoot and the biggest thing is like i said last night they are not taking the game as serious as their oppostion is and i am offically not writing about how good they are anymore until they win me back. I think right now the Heat and the Spurs are obviously playing the best basketball, with the Celtics and Mavericks close behind and then the Magic and Bulls and a few other teams coming in 3rd place for now. I am not counting the Mav's loss tonight i know they shoulda kill the Raptors but they were without Dirk and didnt shoot the ball well and since they are an offensive team first and are just now starting to get in on the defensive side of things they cant shoot the ball poorly on a night without their biggest scorer on the floor, and so for my second time picking NBA games i think i did alright i went 4-3 bringing my record this seaon to 6-6 and even .500 i hope that my picks for tomorrow are better then today obviously, but hey i am kinda new to the whole basketball thing i mean i have kinda watch for the past 3 or 4 years but not seriously like i have been this year, i am also in the middle of Bill Simmons new book The Book of Basketball which i will say is a must read not just for any basketball fan but for any sports fan in general obviously you need to like basketball somewhat to read it. Anyways back to the NBA and the 2 teams i just mention atop the league, i kept saying at the start of the season just to give the Heat time (when everyone was jumping off their bandwagon) i knew that eventually D-Wade and LBJ would figure it out they are both too good to be as bad as they were at the start of the season, you could tell they werent comfortable with giving the other guy the ball or maybe they tried giving the other guy the ball to much, which i think wade did, he was so worried about LeBron getting his and wasnt forcusing on his own game, like i said they have been superb on the defensive end all season and that is what it takes to win Championships but you need offense as well and they finally came together after that win in Cleveland and figured things out. i think they finally figured out how the 3 of them could play together and do it right, i know i know i didnt pick the Heat to win it this year and i still stand by that statement i think they make the conference finals but loss to the Celtics and i think the Celtics beat the Lakers in 7....but that is not set in stone that is just the way i see it right now MAYBE the Spurs but i dont know it all depends on how they are playin come the second half and home stretch of the season. I have to give D wade made props on his 40 point game. I am disapointed that the Heat beat the Knicks for some reason i like the Knicks alot i think once in the post season they might be a team to watch out for to make an improbable run. I think thats all i got on the NBA tonight i didnt catch any games so i cant really say much else i will however catch some games tomorrow and have ALOT more to say on the NBA and also i will go over the best players in the league in my eyes so far.
I just have to touch on the Eagles Vikings game since it was tonight and since the Vikings pull a huge upset with a rookie QB making his first start. It seems that everyone is copying the Giants after they showed that pressuring Vick is the key to beating him, but if you ask me the way Vick has improved his game its only a matter of time before he can deal with the pressure and find the hot route guy to beat the blitz all day and then what will teams do to beat him? i am not saying Vick is the MVP or the best athelete the NFL has i am just saying he can for sure get it done and he obviously has talent that is out of control and endless and now that he knows he has to study study study to be successful in the NFL i think he figures out a way to beat the blitz but it still isnt enough to get them into the superbowl. THats all i have on the NFL today but tomorrow i will make my picks for the week and talk playoffs and sueprbowl and all my favorite plays and games of the season as well as where i would place my MVP vote if i had one, i know this is kinda short for one of my posts and im sorry for that i just got home late and didnt catch any games or anything and i like to see what i write about not just look at the Box score on ESPN.com so ill be back tomorrow with ALOT of stuff for you ill get on in the morning and do my NFL post then at night to recap my picks on the days NBA games as well as talk more NBA and maybe some college hoops.
