Here are two brand new tracks from Usher’s forthcoming album, Here I Stand (Jive), which also will be releasing this Summer. Trading Places, produced by Tricky Stewart of course, would be nothing short of a Bed 2.0; it even has that heavy string allusion. Needless to say I love the song and this is definitely a good look for Usher. This Ain’t Sex is vibrant and rockable, this song reminds me of a something Scar would do, I really dig it!

Here are two brand new tracks that leaked from Donnie Klang’s debut album, tentatively titled Come Into My World (Bad Boy), set to release this Summer. The first song, Doctor Love, reminds me a bit of some old school Stevie Wonder; maybe even a modern day Superstition? I love this song! Hopefully Donnie’s label considers this as a future single becos I’m really feeling it! Rolling Stone would definitely make a smooth ladder, in this case.

The San Antonio Spurs finally win a game against the New Orleans Hornets but the Hornets still lead the series (2-1). The Spurs win by 11 last night and take the victory of Game 3 (110-99). Tony Parker did not want to lose 3 games in a row to the Hornets so he stepped up his game a little bit. Parker totaled 31 points, 11 assists and 4 rebounds. Manu Ginobili also scored 31 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds. Ginobili said after the victory last night:

“We know that going 3-0 — it’s never been done to come back like that,” said Ginobili, “Today, for us, it was a Game 7. We knew if we didn’t win today, it was almost over. So we had a different approach. We played with more passion, more edge.”

It’s kind of surprising LeBron James hasn’t been shutting it down but these games can go either way. Kevin Garnett was on his game tonight and did not let up. K.G. scored 13 points, 12 rebounds, and 4 assists. Paul Pierce was even shocked to see that King James wasn’t beating them! Here’s what Pierce had to say:

“I’m a little shocked that he’s 8-for-42, but this is what we work on. We work on trying to contain him,” said Pierce, “LeBron is what makes them go. And if we can somehow control him, we control their team. And with the help of the guys around me, we’ve been able to do that.”

Ray Allen scored 16 points and 3 assists. Paul Pierce scored a total of 19 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists. I guess they are kind of succeeding in this theory cause it’s not looking to good for the Cavs. LeBron can even admit this himself. LeBron said after the game:

Lamar Odom racked up 19 points, 16 rebounds, and 2 assists. Pau Gasol had 20 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists. Kobe was pumped last night for Game 2. After the game he stated how he felt:

“It was an emotional night for all of us,” Bryant said after the game. “We haven’t seen Staples Center this electric. It gave me goose bumps. You want to ride the momentum, and we were able to do that.”

Last night in Orlando, Rashard Lewis was on fire. Lewis scored 33 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Dwight Howard had 20 points and 12 rebounds. Orlando took the win by 25 points (111-86) but the Pistons still lead the series by 1 (2-1). Lewis stated at halftime:

“I made my first couple and really felt like I was going to have it going tonight,” said Lewis, who came to the Magic in a trade with Seattle. “I know my 3 ball hasn’t been falling this whole series.

“Detroit’s obviously been a team that’s been beating us the past couple of years,” Lewis said. “The main focus is we don’t want to dig ourselves too deep of a hole. We want to try to win our home games, take the series back to Detroit 2-2.”
