The Lakers and Blazers square off on Saturday having wrapped up their respective series. It's what everybody has been waiting for and should give us the NBA champion. The Pacers and Sixers go again on Friday as does the dogfight that is the Knicks - Heat series.
I must say that though their games are often low scoring and defensive minded, they are never boring. I've seen them both play other teams in complete yawners, but for some reason the Knicks and the Heat play each other well. It's not hard to see why as they are essentially the same team. From the similar style coaching to the centers who are friends in the off season, on paper they are practically identical. The main difference is that New York has a few more offensive weapons to rely on. But judging from the last game, Tim Hardaway is back and eases a lot of Miami's scoring woes. This one's headed for a seventh game in Miami on Sunday as is the Indiana - Philadelphia series. Even with Reggie Miller back, the Sixers should be able to win on their home court. Game seven in Indiana could be a barn burner.
Now onto another topic. I saw the new Michael Jordan movie "MJ to the Max" the other day and thought I would offer my opinion. Of course it's my opinion alone and does not reflect the thoughts or ideas of this website or anyone else associated with it. So don't kill the messenger, okay?
Save your money. You don't need to see this movie. Seriously. Other than the fact that it was on a really big ass screen, the movie makers offered us nothing new. Imagine watching a forty five minute Nike commercial and you've pretty much got the gist of it. I'm not kidding when I say that because that was actually part of the movie. Little bits of old commercials were edited in and for what purpose? To sell us more stuff, of course. Because we are consumers first and foremost and don't you forget it. Nike must have flipped when they heard the idea. You mean we get another chance to suck the money out of people's wallets? And our logo is going to be three stories tall? Where do we sign...
