Tonight in Boston, the Black Irish aka Boston defeated the Orlando Magic in epic porpotion 94-71 to take a commanding 3-0 lead in the best of seven. I'm truly dissapointed in Vince Carter in this series as he was acquired by the Magic during the draft of big series like this one. As a result we've come to realize that he is not playing like the Tar Heel or Toronto Raptor version and that's Vince is just a shell of his former self. At this point is his career, he should know when to turn it on and when to rely on Lewis, Howard, or Nelson. The Magic should have won game 2 but Vince Carter had a Nick Anderson moment missing clutch free throws down the strech. Another double-double for Rajon Rondo with 11 points and 12 assist including a nasty crossover on White Chocolate Jason Williams in the first half. It's safe to say the natives in Boston will be chanting......BEAT LA....BEAT LA......BEAT LA.....BEAT LA....starting Tuesday.
Tomorrow the Los Angeles Lakers hope to comand a 3-0 lead against the offensive minded Phoenix Suns. Unless Steve Nash and Amare Stoudamire commit to defense (yeah right) this series is just about over and David Stern gets his Lakers-Celtics finals ratings bonanza.
Well, my time in Clevaland was......ok but I'm ready to get back to Chicago.

HOF 2009
With training camp less than 1 month away, these past few weeks have been quite around the basketball world. Nothing has changed much. Stephon Marbury, Allen Iverson are still without jobs, D-Wade, LeBron, Amare Stoudamire have not signed extensions with their ball clubs, and the Chicago Bulls still don't have a low post scorer.
Tyrone Lue had decided not to sign with Greece but instead try to catch on with another NBA team. Sorry but it's been a slow news week. He's has a great career but if I mention Tyrone Lue in my blog, it's a slow news day.
Only a few days away before David Robinson, John Stocktin are elected in the Hall of Fame. Stocktin & Malone ran the same pick-n-roll from 1988 to 2003. The all-time leader in assist & steals is well deserved as well as the 1995/1987 #1 overall pick Mr. Robinson.
The head of the class again is Michael Jordan Out of all the Chicago Bulls or North Carolina Tar Heels that could have introduced Mike, he chose David Thompson. After thinking about it, his choice make sense because MJ admitted that was who he followed as a kid. If I were heading into the basketaball HOF, Kenny Anderson would introduce me. Congrats to the 2009 Class and next year we get Pippen & Malone.
I can't wait for training camp to begin!!!!!!!
