I just want to note that I always believed in I’ll Have Another. Always pick the horse with the best name.

Beard Like Harden

19 May

Facial hair is really making a come back for men this year. Kentucky’s Anthony Davis started the unibrow trend. Now Thunder’s James Harden has started the extreme beard trend. Harden’s beard is so famous that there is song about it. Yes, a parody of “Moves Like Jagger” but about Harden’s beard. Now it’s official that Harden can never shave his beard because how would we recognize him.

Celtics Fall to 76ers, 92-83

19 May

I really thought the Boston Celtics were on a roll and would make it all the way until last night. The Phildelphia 76ers came back to beat the Celtics and tie the series 2-2. The media is painting the young 76ers against the old Boston Celtics. Which is kind of crazy considering that the only old player is Kevin Garnett(36) which is the same age as Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan. Last night was the first time in the series that Garnett showed his age played poorly by scoring only 9 points and missing 9 of 12 shots. With Garnett not playing his best it was hard for the Celtics to hold onto their lead in the second half.

In the second half it was hard to tell if the 76ers were playing better or the Celtics were playing worse.  The Celtics just couldn’t keep up with the 76ers scoring in the second half. What should have been a slam dunk for the Celtics became a struggle to keep up. In the end the 76ers proved they wanted to win more. The star of the game was Andre Iguodala who broke the tie score making 5 straight points in the final 90 seconds to give the 76ers the lead.

Finally the Lakers Win, 99-96

19 May

I guess the Los Angeles Lakers got my letter begging them to win a game because last night they pulled past the Oklahoma City Thunder to win their first game in the series. There was not a dull moment. Kobe Bryant played an amazing game making all 18 free throws. Bryant scored 36 points for the Lakers. Most importantly the Lakers got a lead in the 4th and held onto it. Unlike Game 2 where they lost a 7 point lead with only 2 minutes left in the game.In the last 92 seconds alone Bryant scored 8 points, 2 of which put the Lakers ahead with only 33 seconds left.

For the Thunder almost MVP and scoring title holder Kevin Durant had 31 points. It was a sad moment for Durant when he missed a 3-pointer that might have tied the game just before the buzzer. Let’s hope he doesn’t receive death threats on twitter for that like Laker Steve Blake did after Game 2. It is kind of shocking to think that James Harden ever spent any time on the bench for the Thunder. He scored 21 points Friday night. More importantly Harden is a beast when comes to getting fouls out of the other team. He is so aggressive on guarding that you can’t help but to foul him. I’m not sure what scares me more he guarding or sweaty beard. (more…)
