Well, today it's about sports.
Kobe gets his first MVP today, which is long over due. I'm not a Kobe apologist, but he is the bet player in the game. With that said, he also has a good 'team' around him. With Bynum, Gasol, Odom, Fisher, Farmar, Turiaf, Vujacic, Radmonovic, Walton, and the rest of the guys, they have a great chance of creating their own mini-dynasty.
New Orleans has the other guy that should have been MVP. Chris Paul is playing out of his mind. The way that he is destroying the Spurs, and I say 'he' because he runs that show and has the ball in his hands the majority of the time. He makes the game easier for the rest of his team. Peja doesn't resemble the choker that he was when he played in Sactown, and everyone really knows their roles. You have to give the head coach some credit too for allowing his PG to play the game and not pull an 'Avery' on Chris Paul.
Is Detroit for real, or are they going to fall a sleep at the wheel again in this series. They are clearly the better team, when motivated, and they should be Orlando, but will they? Chauncey looks like he's gaining his nickname, 'Mr. Bigshot', and Rasheed is on board. Rasheed will probably go down as one of the most underrated big men in the game. The guy can score from anywhere on the floor and he is the Joe Dumars to Mike Jordan for most big men in the league, meaning he's a defensive presence.
I'm rooting for the Celtics because I want to see KG win a ring, but at the same time, this 7 game series with the Hawks was in fact scary. They have to find a way to stop an athletic big guard/forward since they draw the LeBrons in the 2nd round of the playoffs. This ought to be a very interesting series.
