Firstly, I want to quickly apologize for the lack of posting, my lack of a computer has rendered me frustrated and lazy. In due time this should be fixed.
However, since I have a few minutes to spare here at said Internet cafe I thought a few thoughts of random spewage would be fun.
- If you haven't read a single word on my blog before this than I'd like to fill you in that currently I reside in Vancouver, Canada. Yes Vancouver, y'know that city hosting the current Winter Olympic Games. Now if you've never had the chance of visiting Vancouver than I highly recommend you do, the city is beautiful in so many ways. With that I want to point out how amazing it is being here as this grand spectacle transpires. These games of epic proportions have given not only myself but every red blooded Canadian a sense of pride I've never seen before. The seas of red and white flowing through this city is quite the sight. The passion, energy and vigor we Canadians have demonstrated this past week has been wonderful. I just thought I would mention this seeing as this could invariably be the only time in my life where I might have the chance to do so. Dare I say "Go Canada Go!".
- Coinsiding also with last weekends opening of the Winter Games was the NBA's annual all star extravaganza in Dallas, Texas at the massive 1 Billion dollar Cowboys Stadium. For most Canadians this celebration of the games best was a mere afterthought, rightly so I do say, but with its timing also comes the mid point of this here NBA season, one in which I've enjoyed very much. Here then are a few of my thoughts as the season winds down.
1. Kobe's injury in a way has to be a good thing for my Lakers and in a way himself as well. I love Kobe, you all know this, but as a competitor the boy is one tough s.o.b. and with that at times somewhat detrimental to his own play. His recent ankle injury though much worse than first thought, in my opinion is a blessing in disguise. In his absence, LA has played for once up to its potential as they have posted a 4-1 record in Mamba's absence. And if tonight's tough loss to Boston proves anything, this team is good and very deep. Getting their killer back in a week or so should push them back to where they need to be. I just sure hope they feel the same way.
2. Cleveland looks mighty dangerous as LBJ and company have racked up yet another stellar string of victories. This team in my opinion would win the crown right now if the finals were playing (as much as that pains me to write). They play team ball, spread the floor and are deep at almost every position.
And now they have Jamieson....yikes!!!
3. Denver is my dark horse to make the finals, they've beaten LA and now Cleveland twice. Eeek!
