Week 1 World Cup, NBA Finals Recap, & My AFC RB rankings

L.A Lakers NBA Champs thanks to Kobe and Pau.  Kobe adds another ring and MVP trophy. The Celtics fought hard all the way to the end but the better team won.  The stat that was the most vital was the rebounding.  The team that won the rebounding battle won each game.  The Lakers in game 7 had 23 offensive to the Celtics 8.  Congrats to the city of L.A I know it's gonna be crazy over on the west coast for the next few days.

The first week of the World Cup in South Africa came to a close with so many ups and downs for so many nations and teams.  I don't get into soccer to often, but to see the unity from every corner of the globe is a beautiful thing.  The vuvuzelas sound creates a more intense feeling for the players because they sound like a beehive.  The teams/games that stood out to me over the week were as follows:  Argentina showing that they can score and at will with good defense they defeated S. Korea 4-1, Mexico beat France 1-0 was a surprise to me seeing that they tied with S. Africa 1-1. Uruguay beat the home town yesterday.  My pick to win it Brazil won 2-1 and Ghana the only team that's still standing from Africa with a Win.  They play Australia today.  After tieing with England 1-1 now About to watch the U.S vs. Slovenia... Stay Tuned

Finals Preview, Blackhawks up 2-0, NFC running back Rankings

NBA Finals 2010

Boston vs L.A
Garnett vs. Pau
Rondo vs. Fisher
Ray vs. Kobe
Pierce vs. Artest
Perkins vs. Bynum

Lake Show defending their title, Kobe is going for his Fifth ring,and Phil is trying to fill all his fingers and a Toe.

Garnett is back and Boston is aiming to get their ring back from 2008 and add their 18th banner to the organization.



MY Thoughts:  This will be one of the greatest series ever!  Kobe is gonna have to play bigger than ever, MJ esque.  He's been sharing the ball a lot, getting other people involved, while Artest has been smothering with his defense...Rondo been stepping up his game and the C's have Garnett back healthy with support of Nate Robinson and Rasheed Wallace.....Looking at the bench and the starting lineup, I think the Celtics win in 7.




The Chicago Blackhawks are up 2-0 in the Stanley cup Finals
