Linsanity Returns

30 Apr

Since Jeremy Lin was forced to watch the massacre of the New York Knicks by the Miami Heat in game 1 of the playoffs he is attempting to return. Yes you heard correctly Linsanity may come back to save the day again. The only problem is that Lin hasn’t played in over a month due to a knee injury. Coach Mike Woodson is already saying that Lin would have limited playing time to monitor his injury. They also don’t want to injure Lin any further(if only that was the case with Bull’s Derrick Rose). I still believe in miracles so maybe Lin will actually come back and make a difference. He could return as early as game 4.

Khloe & Lamar: No More?

30 Apr

Can we just get the truth already? The suspense is killing me not affecting me at all.  TMZ reported that Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom were putting the brakes on their reality show so Odom could refocus on his lack of basketball career. Now Khloe’s reps are denying that the show has been cancelled. They are saying that they are unsure about what will happen depending on Odom’s basketball schedule. Right now Odom is just chilling since the Dallas Mavericks inactivated him for the remainder of the season. Although losing Odom hasn’t helped the Mavericks much in the playoffs. I do admire Khloe’s willingness to stand by her man and I hope Odom finds another basketball home soon.

Odom is back in LA working with a trainer to get ready for next season. Although there is no telling where he will be.

Were You Aiming for That Bird?

30 Apr

Do you remember the episode of Seinfeld where George runs over the pigeon? He keeps moaning, “We had an agreement?” Basically that bird move when objects like cars are coming at them. It is even weirder when the object is a baseball. Last week a pitcher hit a bird, don’t worry the bird survived. It was during a high school game that pitcher, Ryne Elvers, accidentally hit a bird with a pitch. The bird just flew away as if nothing had happened. Maybe if he had being throwing fast enough to injure or kill the bird it would raise his draft prospects?

The sad thing about this baseball bird violence is not the first case. Pitcher Randy Johnson destroyed a seagull with at 95 mph pitch back in 2008. The pitches always look slower on television but I think this proves they are going pretty fast. I think PETA should be looking into this. When will the baseball bird violence end?

NBA Playoffs: Recap

30 Apr

It was an exciting start to the NBA Playoffs this weekend. I have made a new bracket above. It is super confusing to try to bracket for the playoff since the games take place in series rather than just one game but I did it anyways. Let me know what you think.  Here is a look at what happened this weekend.

Chicago Bulls, Philadelphia 76ers, 103-91

#Start what you finished, cough cough, we don’t care if you get injured.

This game went as many had expected with the Bulls winning. What wasn’t expected was Derrick Rose’s injury in the last minute. Now people are saying that the Bulls don’t have the same chances in the East. As I wrote before the Bulls have played without Rose before and still managed to win. I think they will continue this trend on Tuesday.

Oklahoma City Thunder, Dallas Mavericks, 99-98

#Durant this is why I got the scoring title.

Thunder’s Kevin Durant was the star of this game making a jump shot with 1.5 seconds left in the game that sealed the Thunder’s victory.

Miami Heat, New York Knicks, 100-67

#Lebron James whining will get you everywhere.

This was such a sad game for the Knicks. Heat’s Lebron James scored 32 points but it didn’t stop him from complaining about a foul. I think we all knew the Knicks were going to struggle but hoped it wouldn’t be this much.

Orlando Magic, Indiana Pacers, 81-77

#Why is everyone so surprised? -Magic

The Magic won despite not having star Dwight Howard who is out due to a back injury. Everyone thought the Pacers would have this in the bag. The Pacers played poorly and handed the game to the Magic.

Los Angeles Clippers, Memphis Grizzlies, 99-98

#Clippers have something to prove.

This was an amazing game the Clippers were down by 21 points in the third quarter. Chris Paul managed to rally them back to overtake the Grizzlies. The bummer is that Clipper’s Caron Butler broke his hand during the game and will be out.
