It's playoff time and the games are getting interesting! For Vince Carter and Co., it only took three games to knock the Atlanta Hawks out of the running for the 2010 Finals. On the other hand, the LeBron James and Shaquille O'Neil duo in Cleveland can't get things going their way, trailing the Boston Celtics 3-2 in the series. I haven't been watching these games just because I've lost interest since Allen Iverson left the Sixers...the first time. I've seen highlights and read up on the latest games and to me, it seems like the Cavs aren't pulling through as expected. I feel sorry for the guys, I really do. They have a solid team and James has been phenomenal since he stepped foot in the NBA at age 18. He deserves a championship and that would top off a pretty good season, after being named MVP this year. And how can I forget my St. Joe's Hawk Delonte West?! What a great match up would that be if the Cavs beat out the Celtics and meet up with Jameer Nelson and the Magic? I would love to see the two former Hawks battle it out. They were great on that team years back!
As for the NHL, which I have only been following the Flyers, the playoffs have been full of upsets. The Montreal Canadiens beat out the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 7 and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. Props to the worst-record team in the playoffs! If you couldn't tell, I'm not a Pittsburgh fan so good for the Canadiens, for now at least because with the Flyers coming back and forcing Game 7 in Boston, we could be facing the Canadiens if we come out on top. This is a good thing for Philly. It's been a while since the Flyers have seen this kind of playoff action and to be honest, I am hopping on this Flyers bandwagon. I don't have a t-shirt to support them but I've been watching and cheering. Go Flyers!
I found an interesting story in the news today about a 22-year old man posing as a high school kid in Texas. It turns out the man, from Haiti, was caught in a tournament in Florida by coaches who recognized him when he played back in high school. Small world, huh!
