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 ???.
