Celtics Win Game 1

The Boston Celtics played at home last night and cheated their way to a victory against the Los Angeles Lakers. If you watched this game you’d know they did too. Uncalled fouls and backcourt violations. The series has just begun though it’s not over. The Celtics are currently leading the series (1-0). The final score of Game 1 was (98-88). Kobe Bryant rocked Paul Pierce in the 2nd half of the game leaving Pierce injured and off the court. He then dramatically returned back to the court. Was it fake? You be the judge. Kevin Garnett totaled 24 points and 13 rebounds. Ray Allen scored 19 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. Paul Pierce had 22 points and 4 rebounds. Paul Pierce responded about his “injury” in Game 1:

“When I came down I thought I felt a pop, I thought I tore it,” Pierce said “When I got in the back I could put some weight on it, I knew needed to be out there for my team.”

2008 NBA Finals Schedule

The NBA Finals start tomorrow night and I’m excited to see what’s in store for Game 1. The Boston Celtics will play at home against the Los Angeles Lakers. If you haven’t noticed it’s been a long playoffs for the Celtics and I don’t think that they have what it takes to defeat the Lakers and come out as champions. Although, the Celtics have 3 all stars, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce, it’s been rocky for them in the past few games within the playoffs. The Lakers has soared to the top of their game sweeping the Denver Nuggets in the first set of the playoffs! If any team deserve it right now it has to be the Los Angeles Lakers. They’ve really matured and they are now a better team than last year. I can’t wait to tune in to ABC for the NBA Finals

Game 1 airs Thursday (June 5th) @ 9 on ABC.

Spurs Wins Game 7

The San Antonio Spurs took the last game in the series between the New Orleans Hornets last night (4-3). The final scored was in the Spurs favor by 9 (91-82). The New Orleans Hornets’ depressed me last night. They played as if this was GAME 1 instead of  GAME 7. They acted as though they didn’t want it bad enough. Tony Parker dropped shots last night. He totaled 17 points and 5 assists. Tim Duncan put up 16 points and 14 rebounds. Manu Ginobili scored 26 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Robert Horry, who rarely touches the court, said at the end of game 7:

“People always talk about you being old because you don’t dunk anymore or slash as fast as you used to slash, but we’re one of the smartest teams in the league and we have a very good coaching staff,” said Horry, “We didn’t make stupid mistakes tonight.”
