Weekend Thoughts

My thoughts from the weekend of sports

Game 7s in the NBA- Can you say disappointment? I mean I figured that Lakers would win but that was not even enjoyable to watch unless you were a Lakers fan. I mean the game was so out of hand that ABC was already showing promos for the Lakers Nuggets Western Conference Finals in the 3rd quarter. Game 7 in Boston was a little more interesting but still you never really got the feeling that the Celtics were going to make it close. I cannot wait for the Conference Finals as it looks like we have two very good match-ups. My picks are Cavs in 5 and Lakers in 7.

The Preakness- It was a spectacular build up between Mine that Bird and Rachel Alexandria and it absolutely lived up to the billing. This has been one of the best Triple Crowns in recent memory and I really hope that both horses race in the Belmont because if they both run the same race in the Belmont Mine That Bird wins down the stretch.

Red Wings vs Black Hawks- The Hawks but up a huge fight but they just could not overcome the Red Wings depth. As much as I would love to see this series go 7 and be an all time classic, I just see the Red Wings being too deep and too talented. I see the Red Wings winning in 5 and roll on to a 2nd Cup tittle.

Baseball- I watched a few games this weekend but I just have trouble getting into it this early and it doesn't help that my Indians currently have the worst record in the majors. So I am having trouble fully immersing myself in baseball.

As a whole it was an OK weekend but as the playoffs heat up I fully expect bigger and better things to come.
