Even though I am still bleeding green, I have to say that Denver showed us that they are for real. Denver had game 1 in their hands but just couldn't close it out, thus giving the Lakers a win by 1 point and a lead in the series 1-0 going into last night. But last night's game was a little different than usual in the fact that it was a total role reversal. LA had the lead most of the game (like Denver did last game) but this time, Denver closed them out by keeping their lead at the end of the game turning it into 3 points and giving LA only 1 shot to tie with 6 seconds left. D. Fisher couldn't hit it and Denver walked away with the win 106-103 and tied the series at 1-1 and are now headed to Denver. C. Anthony was on point again scoring 34 points with 9 rebounds and 27 points from Billups giving Denver the edge!! While the Nuggets were able to hold Kobe to 32 and control the boards and get 19 second chance points and 14 offensive rebounds was enough to take game 2 and tie this battle up and I think it's only going to get tighter!! So get ready for another intense basketball game Saturday Night at 8:00 in Denver; it should be entertaining. Still wishing it was the Celtics who were beating Cleveland, but there's always next year. Meanwhile, Celtics nation should be rooting for Magic and Denver!!

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was. I’m way too burned out on the Celtics/Lakers nostalgia trip to really engage this, but I think that this is worth pointing out (mostly because it’s an opportunity to poke at the national sports media for their laughably predictable analysis and Finals picks). I just find it somewhat strange that after so many years of going for the same fools gold, the talking heads of the Association can’t figure anything out.

Not much substantive thoughts right now, but don't worry, they're coming in due time. But I'd like to say kudos to Manny Ramirez for hitting his 500th dinger the other day against the Orioles, this landmark is just another reminder that Manny is among the top right handed hitters of this or any other generation of baseball players. Do what you do, Manny boy!

The always entertaining and God praising Magic Johnson professed that the excitement and allure of the NBA All-Star Weekend "is back! It is Back!" Wow, Magic, that is amazingly profound! The truth of the matter is that the All-Star Weekend is NOT back ... it just happens to be the ONLY All-Star event in professional sports that is any good and can captivate a decent pool of the sports viewing public. I mean seriously, what is it competing against?
