The Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics are one of the biggest rivalry’s in the NBA and they are facing each other right this minute in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.  The rivalry goes back to the days of Magic Johnson and Larry Bird.  Tonight it is Kobe Bryant and Paul Pierce.

These two teams have won over 50% of the 64 NBA Championships.  That is quite impressive.  The Celtics hold a 17-15 Title edge over the Lakers.  The Lakers routed Orlando last year to win their 15th but they were sent home packing the year before by the Celtics in 6 games as Boston won their 17th.

Obviously this series means a lot to both teams.  Boston is aging quickly with Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett looking for one more Championship.  Right now at the Staple Center in Los Angeles; the fight has begun.

This rivalry, which began with the Dave Cowens and Bill Russel era; is still as hot as ever.  The Lakers are 8-0 at home during the playoffs so the Celtics will have their work cut out for them.  The Lakers look strong; but don’t count out the Celtics, they still have some fight left.  Many experts pick the Lakers to win this in 7; but I think it will be the Celtics who prevail.  You can bet on that.  Until we meet again; may your betting be better and remember to always be a good sport.

With less than 3 minutes in the first half the Los Angeles Lakers are leading the Phoenix Suns 56-47.  It the Lakers can hold on for the victory they will move on to the NBA Finals to face their all to familiar foe, the Boston Celtics who sent the Orlando packing last night.

Ron Artest who was the hero for the Lakers in game 5 has 17 points already.  Steve Nash of the Suns has 10.  The Suns cannot afford to give up in this one.  They blew every one away in game 5 by coming way back to make it interesting although the Lakers came away with a 103-101 victory.

The Lakers may very well pull this one out and if they do; they will more than likely slide by the tiring Celtics for another championship.  However, they have to get by Phoenix tonight first and Steve Nash proclaimed that the Suns would force a game 7.

The Suns are looking like the little train that could but the Lakers size has been a tremendous advantage.  This should be another big finish that you don’t want to miss.  Kobe Bryant leads the series 3-2, but does he have enough for one more.  If you ask Dustin Hoffman and Jack Nicholson, they will say yes.  Until we meet again, may your betting be better and remember to always be a good sport.

Tomorrow night the Phoenix Suns travel back to Los Angeles to take on the Lakers in game 5 of the NBA Western Conference Finals.  The series is tied at 2 a piece after the Suns received respected bench support last night as they reeled off a 115-106 victory.

The Lakers won the first 2 games in the series at home and then the Suns bounced back to win their next 2 games at home.  For those weary fans who had already counted the Suns out and bought tickets for the Lakers-Celtics rematch; just a reminder, it’s not over until its over.

The Lakers Kobe Bryant had 38 points but it was not enough to give his team that 3-1 advantage they had envisioned as they returned home.  Kobe is normally good for a third of the Lakers production and they do put points on the board but unless you play defense it is all for not.

The Suns are the best 3 point shooting team in the league and they proved that once again on last night.  A bench full of media declared misfits stood up and gave notice last night that the Suns would not go down without a fight.  Yes, the Suns have finally built a solid team around Steve Nash but they will not find it easy playing in LA tomorrow night.

Who will win tomorrow night?  The destiny bound Lakers or the misfits from Phoenix?  This is a huge game for both teams.  The Lakers cannot afford to lose at home and then travel to Phoenix for game 6.  The Suns would like nothing better to go home for game 6 with a 3-2 lead.  You can bet there will be fireworks in LA tomorrow night.  The odds are with the Lakers but the Suns may surprise.  Until we meet again, may your betting be better and remember to always be a good sport.

Monday night the best in the west meet up in Los Angeles as the Los Angeles Lakers host the Phoenix Suns in the NBA Western Conference Finals.  The winner of this best of 7 series will move on to the NBA Finals to take or either the Boston Celtics or the Orlando Magic for the Championship.

The Lakers finished the regular season with a record of 57-25 and then eliminated the Utah Jazz in 4 straight semi-final games.  The Suns went 54-28 in the regular season and also eliminated the San Antonio Spurs in 4 games.  Now these two NBA giants clash tonight to see who will get off on the right start.

The Lakers are led by non other than Kobe Bryant.  Kobe appears to be poised to lead Los Angeles to a Championship repeat.  The Suns are guided by Steve Nash, one of the purest passers to ever play in the NBA.  This year Phoenix finally assembled a team around Nash that shows some sign of greatness.  Could this be their year?

Steve Nash has played in more post season games (113); without making it to the NBA finals; than any other player in NBA History.  To make matters appear disheartening; the Lakers won 3 out of 4 meetings during the regular season.  Although the reigning Champion Lakers are favored by most to move onto the NBA Finals; most agree it will take 6 or 7 games to do it.

This will definitely be speed/opportunity versus size/experience.  This is a great match up.  The Suns will have to run the court and take advantage of every opportunity if they have any hopes of dethroning the Champs.  This series is going to be exciting.  You don’t want to miss it.  The odds are with the Lakers and that would be the wise bet.  They start off in LA as well.  That makes the Lakers a pretty good bet for tonight.  Until we meet again, may your betting be better and remember to always be a good sport.

For the last 2 NBA seasons the Cleveland Cavaliers have won more games than any other team in the league.  Last year they were eliminated by Orlando without ever reaching the finals.  Now, after 5 games and a totally embarrassing game last night where they were brutally beaten by Boston 120-88 at home; the Cavs are faced with elimination once again come Thursday night.

This season, self proclaimed King Lebron James seemed poised to finally obtain the elusive NBA title, before boastfully strutting away to free agency.  If he plays another game like Tuesday night when he missed 11 of 14 shots and only mustered 15 points for the evening; then Cleveland may have to wait another 46 years before accomplishing an NBA Championship.

I was born and raised 90 miles from Cleveland.  I am a Cleveland fan.  Like all Cavalier fans I believed LeBron James would be the best hope for an NBA Title.  Now, after 7 years LeBron seems destined to become one of those great athletes who could not win the big game or series.  Do the Cleveland Cavaliers consist of a team or one player?  If they are a team and if King James is a team player; then destiny should be theirs.

However, if James, who seems to take no blame for his part in their situation, is not a team player, then he has certainly opened the doors for the Los Angeles Lakers to repeat.  It is time for James to put up or shut up.  As a player you never know if you will get this close again.  There are great players all over the sports world who would have gladly traded personal statistics for the elusive championship ring.

Thursday night, May 13, 2010, King James will have to preside over his court.  He will have to make the best of his opportunity to seal his career in Cleveland by taking this team to another level.  A great team can win all the regular season games that they want; but if they cannot win the big ones when they count, then they are just another team.  Until we meet again; may your betting be better and remember to always be a good sport.

LeBron James joins a list of basketball players that looks like a Hall of Fame roll call as he becomes one of only ten players to win the NBA MVP two years in a row.  The other players that reached that plateau were Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Magic Johnson, Moses Malone, Larry Bird, Tim Duncan, Michael Jordan and Steve Nash.

Of those players only 3 have won the MVP 3 years in a row.  That would be Larry Bird, Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain.  LeBron has had the best season of his career.  He average 29.7 points during the season and 31.8 points against the Bulls in the first round of the playoffs.

Having a great season alone should not necessarily lead to the MVP but LeBron has proven he is very valuable.  When he set out the final 4 games of the season the Cavs dropped all 4 games.  There is no way the Cavaliers would be the favorite to win the Championship without LeBron.

You can love the guy or hate him.  It does not matter.  He is who he is and he plays basketball with vigor.  His value should not be questioned.  His team is on the way to the finals and you can bet on that.  Until we meet again; may your betting be better and remember to always be a good sport.

The last time the Cleveland Cavaliers faced the Boston Celtics in the NBA semi finals was in 2008.  The Celtics were on their way to winning the NBA Championship for the 17th time.  That was then; this is now.  The Celtics are aging with their top 3 starters in their 30’s.  On the other hand; they are probably in their best shape of the season.  They are healthier now; but if this one goes down to 7 it could take its toll.

The Cleveland Cavaliers on the other hand finished the season with the best record in the NBA with LeBron James leading the assault.  In the quarter finals the Cavs sent the Bulls packing; while the Celtics disposed of the Miami Heat.

The Cavaliers are on a mission.  This is King James’ last run before free agency and they would like to end it with a bang.  The Cavs feel like this is their year and they are challenging anyone to keep them from the promised land.  LeBron complained of a sore right elbow in the final game against the Bulls and ended up shooting a free throw with his left hand.

LeBron claims he is fine and ready for this crucial match up in the East.  The Cavs will have home court advantage if this one goes to 7.  Don’t count out the Celtics.  They are playing as well as they have all season but they need to win this one in 5 if they can.  If they wait until 7 they may be out of steam.  Until we meet again; may your betting be better and remember to always be a good sport.

The Charlotte Bobcats are a young team all things considering.  They had the misfortune of following the Hornets who now play in New Orleans.  The Hornets had a love/hate relationship in Charlotte and now the Bobcats are trying to make their own splash in Carolina history.  Now that home spun hero Michael Jordan is majority owner the Bobcats are finally in the limelight.

NBA online betting

The Bobcats made the playoffs this season for the first time in team history.  The excitement in Charlotte could not be ignored.  With Larry Brown as the Bobcats Coach it seemed the playoffs would be the place for them to shine.  However, the Orlando Magic had other plans all together.

The Magic took Game 1 98-89.  They won Game 2  easily 92-77.  Then they won Game 3 by the score of 90-86 in Charlotte.  Tonight in Charlotte the Bobcats are against that merciful wall that squeezes playoff rookies out of contention.  The Magic are poised to move on to bigger and better things.

NBA online betting

I like the Charlotte Bobcats and I thought they would put up a better fight.  Perhaps tonight they will turn their playoff season around.  I think they will and you can bet on that.  Until we meet again; may your betting be better and remember to always be a good sport.

Tonight the Chicago Bulls host the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 3  of a quarterfinals match up.  The Bulls trail in this series 2-0 and have lost both games by 10 points or more.  The pressure is on the Cavaliers to be successful in this post season and the Bulls are not the team to slow them down.  King James and company will make it 3 in a row tonight with another win by double figures.

The Oklahoma City Thunder host the World Champion L.A. Lakers tonight in another quarterfinals match up.  L.A. has a 2-0 lead in the series and Kobe Bryant showed that he was still a force by scoring 39 points in game 2.  Oklahoma still gave them a run for their money in a 3 point loss.  Oklahoma City has heart but it will take more than that to win against L.A.  Look for the Lakers to take a 3-0 lead after tonight.

NBA online betting

In tonight’s third game the Portland Trail Blazers host the Phoenix Suns in the 3rd game of their western quarterfinal match up.  Portland won the first game by 3 but Phoenix shot back in game 2 winning by 29 points.  Tonight should be highlighted by a lot of muscle underneath the board.  In the end look for Phoenix to take a 2-1 lead in the series.

The NBA Eastern Conference Quarter Finals kick off tomorrow night in Cleveland as the 61-21 Cavaliers host the 41-41 Chicago Bulls.  The Bulls slipped into the playoffs as the final seed and some players have claimed they will take the playoffs by storm.  Unfortunately they forgot they were starting with Cleveland.  The Cavaliers are heavily favored to win this one and they will in a sweep.  The Bulls may put up a little fight but King James and Cleveland are hungry for the finals.

The Charlotte Bobcats 44-38 are off to Orlando Florida but not to visit Walt Disney World; they face off against the 59-23 Orlando Magic Sunday night in the Bobcats first playoff visit in team history.  Although the Bobcats are scrappers the Magic will bring a little more than the Bobcats can handle.  Charlotte will put up a fight for new owner Michael Jordan but will lose in 7.

The 46-36 Milwaukee Bucks travel to Atlanta to take on the Hawks  53-29 on Saturday night.  The Bucks on motivated but the Hawks are too deep and will win this series in 5 games.

Saturday night the Miami Heat 47-35 take that long trip up the Atlantic Coast to confront the Boston Celtics 50-32.  The Celtics are getting tired and weary but they have one more good playoffs left in them.  Miami has Dwayne Wade but he can not pull this one out all alone.  The Heat will lose in 6.

The NBA Quarter Finals kick off this weekend with a vengeance and there should be some great games before it is all said and done.  Tomorrow we will take a look at the NBA Western Conference Quarter Finals as well.  Until we meet again may your betting be better and remember to always be a good sport.
