Boo to school and other obligations.

I have yet to see a playoff game from beginning to end due to school, work, sorority, and a pathetic infatuation with a boy taking up a lot of my time. The only games that I've been able to partially see were the Jazz-Rockets Game I, Nuggets-Lakers Game I, and the end of the Cavaliers-Wizards Game 2 aka blowout game. Ugh. If only I could have watched the Suns-Spurs Game I. Oh Steve Nash, that final shot was your's. But I will definitely have to give it to Manu Ginobli though. DIZZAM.



On another note, let me get back to my thoughts on why I chose the teams that I chose to win their series, even though I'm already kinda sorta being proven wrong (DAMMIT MAVS).

Obviously, Boston Celtics are going to take it in the East but I have a biased love for the Detroit Pistons so it would make me happy if they were to win it instead. Granted, they have to beat the 76ers first for that wish to come true. Come on Billups and Wallace! Be that dream team that I know you are! You're my favorite team in the East for a reason!

I expected the Cavaliers and Wizards series to be much more interesting than it actually has been, especially after all the shit Gilbert Arenas was talking about Lebron James. I hope the Wizards play at least a little bit more better now that they're heading back home; I just want this series to get interesting!

My prediction on the Lakers and Jazz winning the first round seems to be according to plan but I'm getting worried about my second favorite team in the NBA, the Phoenix Suns. At least they get to go back to Phoenix because they really are going to need all the help they can get to in order to win at Game 7. Come on Amare...dazzle me like you always do when you play against the Warriors!

I can't believe I doubted the ability of Chris Paul and the Hornets. I can't believe the Mavericks are in the playoffs and the Golden State Warriors aren't. Maybe the Mavs will feel better if Mark Cuban's in the audience?

For those who don't know, I hate the Los Angeles Lakers with the fire of a thousand suns. However, I really do think they can not only win it in the West but also take it and win the Finals against the Boston Celtics (or Detroit Pistons haha). Gasol is a beast, Kobe is straight up MVP status, Lamar Odom is doing it big, Fisher definitely has his clutch moments, Bynum is still one of my favorite centers in the league even if he might still be rusty when (if) he comes back, and their bench can be crazy good when they want to be (slash, Luke Walton is pretty damn hot). The Boston Three Party and Company are good and I'm damn sure they won't give up without a strong, exciting fight...but I'm gonna give it to LA in the end.

And if for some reason Utah ends up knocking out LA in the second round well then...that just shows you that I'm still pretty amateur and I really just like to talk out of my ass, haha.
