The Time Where Lebron Loses Again

Ahh it is finally here. Honestly, I am surprised it has taken this long to get here. The Celtics lasted way longer than I thought they would and they really shouldn’t have won three games in this series. However, the reason they lasted this long, is also the reason why the Heat and Lebron will lose for the second year in a row in the finals. But, more on that later. For now, I want to say how ridiculous it is that the Celtics even won three games.

The Celtics are really freaking old plain and simple. Ray Allen is pretty much useless at this point in his career, Paul Pierce has a lot of wear and tear, Garnett has played seventeen seasons and Rondo (although he is a great penetrator and assist guy) can’t shoot worth a lick which allows the Heat to play so far off a point guard its ridiculous. It is amazing that the Celtics won three games in this series, and the reason being is that the Celtics played their freaking hearts out every single game of the playoffs. However, at this point in time, that isn’t enough. The talent is just not there anymore.

However, with the Heat, the talent is there, the heart? Not really. They should have completely blown out the Celtics by twenty every single game of this series. They have three guys, in their prime, who are going to probably be in the Hall of Fame. Yet, they take plays and games off, which is why, they will lose again in the Finals. They are going to face a team with just as much talent across the board, and have the fire and the heart as the Celtics do. The Thunder will win the series and we can once again hear Lebron make excuses. I can’t wait.

 

The NBA Playoffs Have Started

First off, let me apologize for being gone so long. Prior commitments have led me to not being able to post for quite a while. With that said, I am glad to be back and just in time for the NBA Playoffs to start. Yes I know that they have really been going on now for over a month, but have they really? Once Derrick Rose screwed up his knee, was there a point in watching any of the games up until now? We all knew it was going to be Boston vs Miami and San Antonio vs OKC. This is the problem with the NBA…98% of the league is role players, the other 2% are the superstars. And the superstars rule this league. No superstar on your team, well then your team is garbage…pure and simple. Ok well maybe not garbage, but you aren’t getting to the Conference Finals with a bunch of role players. And as much as it pains me to say it, we can go ahead and pencil Miami in for the Finals, Boston stands as much of a chance of winning their series as I do playing for the NBA.

Boston is just too damn old, way too much tread on the tires. Ray Allen looks like he should be collecting Social Security. I mean the guy is missing foul shot after foul shot. A career 90% plus free throw shooter is shooting around 50% in the playoffs. Anyways,  yes Boston may win one or even two games just based on knowledge of the game, but honestly there really isn’t a point in delaying the inevitable. Let’s just go ahead and fast forward to the Finals where Miami will lose to the Western Finals Champ, and all can be right with the world. A world where Lebron has zero rings, and the flopper i.e. Dwayne Wade never wins another one.

 

Almost Feel Sorry For Lebron, Ok No I Don’t

Lebron asked for this a couple of years ago. He made his decision in front of all of the ESPN cameras. Remember…”not one, not two, not three etc Championships” in front of the Miami Heat Fans. I would feel sorry for the guy, if he wasn’t such a complete douche of a human being. Look, everyone makes mistakes. Hell, I have made about a million of them. The difference is that, no one calls a press conference and ESPN to record their mistake. Usually, people avoid that kind of thing.

Anyways, you know the story. Lebron calls ESPN, spurns Cleveland and goes to Miami where he proclaims that they will win multiple championships. So far this has not worked out. Why? Well I will tell you one thing, in this case I really don’t think that it’s all Lebron’s fault. Shocking coming from me right? However, here me out. It isn’t Lebron’s fault that all of a sudden Wade looks like someone that should be collecting AARP payments. It also isn’t Lebron’s fault that Erik Spoelstra can’t coach himself out of a paper bag, and not his fault that Riley didn’t fire Spoelstra a heckuva long time ago. Lastly, it isn’t Lebron’s fault that Bosh got injured.

Yet, it is Lebron’s fault that he got himself into this situation in the first place. He knew what he was getting himself into when he decided to join the Heat. He knew Spoelstra was the coach, he knew Wade (who is basically the same player as Lebron only smaller) was there, and he knew Bosh (extremely overrated big man) was joining the team. Finally, he knew that with these three players, the Heat were not going to be able to sign anyone of value. I wonder where Lebron will go next and with who to win not one, not two, not three etc championships?

Top Five Reasons Why ESPN is THE EVIL EMPIRE

It is about that time. If you are even a casual reader of this blog, you can tell that my affinity for ESPN is quite low. So without further ado, here are my top five reasons for why ESPN sucks.

1.) ESPN is the cause for conference realignment. Yep that’s right. It is all ESPN’s fault that the rivalries and traditions of college sports have deteriorated. Why? Well, why have schools gone from the Big 12 to the SEC, the Big East to the Big 12 etc?….money. Where does the money come from? TV Contracts! And on what tv stations do 90 percent of the college games play? Well, the “ESPN Family of Networks” of course. Those ESPN Family of Networks just keep paying a ridiculous amount of money to air college football games, that schools are thus taking advantage. And Why not…it isn’t the school’s fault that ESPN employs a bunch of morons. Then, what really bugs me is that the same ESPN idiots who have been the cause of conference realignment, start pointing fingers at the schools and their Presidents. ” Well, it’s Missouri’s fault that the Big 12 almost imploded because they wanted to get to the SEC. Well it’s Syracuse’s fault that they are moving to the ACC.” No you morons. It is your fault because you are paying conferences a ridiculous amount of money to air a game where you don’t really have a lot of competition.

2.) Their Groundbreaking News is Usually Wrong. As far as groundbreaking news goes, ESPN is barely a step above the National Enquirer. Let’s take the Albert Pujols signing this past winter as an example. When was the first time you ever heard that the Angels were even in the mix? Oh yeah basiclaly when Pujols signed on the dotted line. Great investigative journalism ESPN. I thought you were the WorldWide Leader Sports.

3.) The Decision. Enough said. Yes Lebron is evil and a complete idiot. However, you would think grown men would know better. Then, of course, these are the same people who then chastised Lebron for months on end about what an awful thing he did.

4.) Their Experts aren’t Experts. I love when ESPN asks the Experts about their predictions for the upcoming champion of the four major sports. For example, take a look at who 33 out of the 45 “experts” picked to win the World Series last year. The Red Sox…hmmm interesting since ESPN is based in Bristol, CT and the closest baseball team are the Red Sox. Also, these guys aren’t experts. They are either reporters, anchors, or washed up has been or never was professional sports players who would rather come up with some new schtick than actually do any reasearch. They just have an opinion like everyone else. You know what ESPN should do? Ask someone out in Iowa sitting on their couch with a sausage hanging out of their mouth who they think the 2012 MLB Champion will be. That would at least be entertaining, and make more sense than the junk these experts pull out of their butts.

5.) Mel Kiper, Chris Berman et al. They suck period. They aren’t funny, they aren’t original, they think they know everything, problem  is they don’t and they’re not.

6.) ESPN Insider: You are so special that you make people pay extra for your great opinion…errr (ahem!) investigative reporting. Wow you really do suck.

I Am, I Am, I Am Superman, and I Can Do Anything

I have been sitting here for about fifteen minutes trying to think of how that title could fit in with the rest of this post, and I have come to the conclusion that well…not sure if it can. It is just that since last night, I can not get this R.E.M song out of my head.

So, the NBA Playoffs began yesterday. However, Chicago’s own Superman (Nice! See what I did there?) Derrick Rose, already had his playoffs cut short with a torn acl. How frustrating for not only him, but the Chicago Bulls Fans. The Bulls are now relegated to another wait until next year mantra, and it is just not fair. You never want to see a player get hurt, but especially the best player on one of the teams that had the chance to win a title. When something like this happens, you almost have to put an asterik next to the name of the team who ends up winning the championship. Anyways, injuries in sports are a part of the game, but that doesn’t make it any less painful.

So, is this the year that Lebron finally gets his ring? I sincerely hope not. However, with Rose out, there is one less team for the Heat to have to go thru. In the East, there really aren’t a whole lot of teams that can match up with Leloser and company. I believe that Boston’s own big three, could push the Heat to maybe six games, but really it should now be a cakewalk to the Finals for the Heat. The Knicks suck, The Magic suck, The 76ers suck and the Pacers have no go to guy. Welcome to the complete boredom of the NBA playoffs. Sorry, but that’s what the NBA (at least the East) has become now that Rose has gone down.

In the West, things are a lot spicier. The Lakers, Mavs, Thunder and Spurs all could come out and reach the Finals. Does Kobe Bryant have one more run in him with the Lakers? Can the Mavs pull off the unthinkable and get back to the Finals? I’m saying no. Spurs or Thunder v.s Heat Finals. And Lesuck will once again blow it in the Finals, and everyone who is not a heat fan, will breathe a huge sigh of relief.

Well those are my predictions and I am sticking to them. What do you think? Can anyone stop the Heat in the East now? Can the young Thunder roster make the next step to the Finals?
