Oh My Cavs!

What happened? 3-1 deficit. Awww. I saw that game 1. Leading as high as 23 in the first half. But what happened? Collapsed. Game 2 was the same thing but thanks to King James buzzer beating 3-pt shot. Games 3 was not even that close and game 4, Dwight Howard just completely dominated in overtime. Must have been a sweep if not for that shot in game 2. Oh my Cavs!

Ok, Lebron's been spectacular in this series but his teammates are missing. Mo Williams' feeling the pressure? Defensive rotation has been slow. The Magic just have a 3-point shootaround in the series. It's raining 3's!

3-1 ain't bad afterall. Definitely, they will win game 5 at home today. The critical part is that game 6 in Orlando. If the Cavs will win that one, momentum and game 7 will go their way.

Will we see a Kobe-Lebron finals this year?

NBA Draft - LA Clippers won the lottery. Definitely Blake Griffin will go number 1. This means that the Clips needs a general cleaning of the line up. This team reminds of me the Portland Trailblazers team post-Pippen era. Yeah, after that run in the West finals against Shaq and Kobe. You remember that once it was called the Jail Blazers. Well, its a great team with regards to individual talents of the players but with all attitude. Right now, the Clips have that drama. Baron Davis is a primadona. Zach Randolph will always be himself plus Ricky Davis. Hahaha.

Blake Griffin is a talent with great years ahead oh him. Remove all the negative influences there in the team. Rememer what the Blazers did when they drafted Marcus Aldridge and traded for Brandon Roy. That's what the Clippers need to do.

So it's Barca after all. Last night Champion's league game didn't live to my expectations. Of course, my team didn't win. Hahaha.

But really, the first few minutes with all those offensive attacks from Cristiano Ronaldo, I thought that Man U will have an easy night. But at the 10th, Samuel Eto'o's goal was the game's most critical turnaround. Manchester didn't react and Barca just dominated them since then.

Great season for the FC Barcelona. Last night's 2-0 win completed a triple crown which also includes the Pimera Liga and Copa del Rey. Great 2009 campaign.

It's a October 17 showdown with whom? Manny Pacquiao's next fight as scheduled with Floyd? Cotto? Mosley?

I'm sure it will be Cotto if he wins his showdown against Clottey next month. But the problem with Cotto is if he will agree to a catchweight of around 142-143 lbs. Eitherway, I believe that Pacman didn't need Cotto, it's the other way around.

A match with PBF will gone no way as money will be the main factor in the negotiations even if he beat JMM in July (I'm sure he will - he'll brag about it that he KO'd JMM, that Pacman didn't do it in two fights etc etc).

And with Mosley, I think he will be the last option will the first two will not push through.

Pacman vs ???.

***

Ok boxing fans, first half of the year is already gone. So what we look forward? Check the great fights and my predictions for the next two months.

June 13 - Miguel Cotto vs Joshua Clottey - Cotto by decision
June 20 - Wladimir Klitschko vs David Haye - Klitschko by TKO
July 18 - Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Juan Manuel Marquez - Floyd by TKO

Oh Manny, My Money!

Good morning sports fans!

By this time you might heard that baseball's biggest superstar, LA Dodgers Manny Ramirez had been suspended 50 games for being tested positive for a banned performance-enchancing substance. No shock? Well, baseball has its large share of doping problems. From big names such as the infamous Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez, Roger Clemens, Jose Canseco, Jason Giambi, and Mark McGwire to name a few, baseball's been synonymous with steriods used.


For baseball fans and owners alike, these superstars are being paid much money. Just the case of Manny Ramirez who just signed a 2-year $45M contract. Money to turn to W's and these atlethes will do anything just to deliver it even using steriods. And for the fans who are adoring these sluggers, are being cheated of all these diamond drama.

Be sure to have your May 27 free of responsibilities if your a big football fan. Its the Champion's League finals between FC Barcelona and Manchested United.

I'm a big Cristiano Ronaldo fan since watching him play for Portugal during the World Cup in Germany and I'm going for Man U to win this. Back-to-back titles for them. First team in history.

NBA play-offs are getting a lot more drama now. Doubleheader for tonight will close the cast for the East and West finals. I'll go for the Lakers and Celtics winning their repective games.

Ok, I'm wrong with the Spurs. Manu's injury is really a blow to them and I'm surprised with the Celtics even without KG, they're giving a hell of a ballgame. Have you watched that Game 4? The Magics really melted down the stretched. Should I say that Shaq was right??? (Remember, he said the Van Gundy panics a lot during close games).

Are the Nuggets for real? I thought they have a tough matchup against the Hornets, Paul-Billups showdown. But whoa 4-1 series. Doing the same thing to Mavs again in the semis. Are they tough enough? Don't know yet. But based from the two series they won, they are the best in the West now. Sorry Lakers fans but you can't finish immediately the Yao-less Rockets.

***

NBA draft lottery will be next week. Whatever happens, Blake Griffin and Ricky Rubio will be the 1-2 in draft night. If the Wizards will have the top pick, they will have an improved frontcourt in Haywood-Griffin-Jamison plus a healthy Arenas and Butler down back. Imagine that starting 5, decent enough to a have a play off run again.

Rubio will definitely go to a rebuilding team which I think Sacramento. Fair enough, a Rubio-Martin backcourt is fun to watch plus Jason Thompson and Spencer Hawes up front.

Meet Tony Soprano

At last nakabili na din ako ng complete season from 1 to 6 ng The Sopranos. Tagal ko ng gustong bilhin to sa Pilipinas kaso up to season 5 lng lagi ang compilation. Biruin mo sa Afghanistan pa ako makakabili nito. hehehe. Mukhang matitigil na ang pagdodownload ko ng movies everynight dahil ito na ang bago kong pagaaksayahan ng oras ko hanggang umuwi ako sa Pinas. hehehe.

I'll be loving this watch. Hehehe. Sa tulad kong mahilig manood ng mga mob films like Godfather and Goodfellas, talagang I'll devote some of my time sa panonood nito.

Just like hearing the famous line of Anthony Soprano Sr.

"End of story."

Enjoy Shopping!

No shopping malls in Kabul, no problem! I'm back shopping in e-bay hehehe. Hay, nakakamiss kasi mag ikot sa mall at mag window shopping kaya sa e-bay eh medyo mawiwili ako magtingin tingin ng mga items and prospective buys.

Mas convenient for me to shop here kc tlgang mas nakakatipid ako. Sa tulad kong kuripot, malaking bagay tlaga yun. Hahaha. Just imagine in just a month, I've purchased a Samsung LCD TV for 20% off compared to prices in malls. Also purchased Oakley Juliet for 50% off, Lacoste watch as a birthday gift to my wife at 60% as well as my own Lacoste watch at same discount. Just yesterday, I won the Anne Klein watch as a mother's day gift to my mom at 50% discount. Ayus di ba? And the good thing aside from the lower prices is that all items are brand new and authentic. And I love the bidding system so much!

Try and you'll like it! Enjoy shopping!

No Mas!

Just as when former pound-per-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. made his statement that he's back, Manny Pacquiao made a bettter, clear-cut statement that he is boxing's best pound-per-pound.

Pacman just completely dominated Ricky Hatton in just two rounds, in just two fast-paced rounds. So much speed and power, the Hitman just can't bully his way towards Pacman as he used to do. And I was really surprised by Pacman's right hand (watch the 1st knockdown). I never thought it will be as heavy as his signatured lefty. Surely, Pacman is not the one-dimensional brawler he used to be anymore. And amazingly, he keeps getting better and better each fight. He is now a very good boxer. And Hatton, pity him, just don't have good defense at all. He always leave his chin wide open once he throws his hooks. This is a statement victory for Pacman.

I'm now truly a Pacman believer. Although I still believe he lost the first fight with Marquez. Then when he beat Diaz, I was saying that the former lightweight champ is so slow. I want Pacman to fight an intelligent boxer. He embarrased the proud Dela Hoya but again, he's past his prime. Give the guy a top boxer in his prime. Hatton was, in such a case, a great lightwelter champ having the Ring belt, proved his fighting over a decade and a natural 140. But look what he did, two-round demolition job. Hahaha.

So what's next? No Mayweather and no trilogy with Marquez yet as of the moment since the two will fight July 18th as PBF's comeback fight. The best option for me, both quality and money-wise fight, is to challenge current WBA welter king Sugar Shane Mosley. Sure, he is 37 but Mosley's last two fight were incredible. He both KO'd Margarito and Mayorga. And I always believe that Mosley has the same style of Mayweather. Cotto is an option but he should redeem himself first after that humiliating KO loss to Margarito. Other notables are WBC junior welter champ Timothy Bradley and WBC welter champ Andre Berto.

Mabuhay Pacman!
