I'm back and better than ever.(?:REALLY?, who cares?)
3 days, 72 hours, 6 stages passed. This was the final result for last weekend. Estimation for finishing the second round is 2 more weeks. I hope that I could complete the Kusuha route before going home.
Yesterday was big. Spurs beat Mavs by 1 points, which mean these two team are very competitive to each other. Duncan played like a MVP, like him 2 years ago. Nowitski was great, too, but Duncan just too dominated. Bruce Bowen was not contribute very much offensively, but he made everyone hate him, from game to game. Manu was still like a ghost, but it could be categorized to disappeard-type, not the human-haunted-type. Parker still fresh, energyful, and played like a nobrainer, but he destroied the red zone with MVP-like Duncan.
The other one, Pistons vs Cavs, was not that good, because Pistons are way better than Cavs, probably 200%. King James still played good, but he is the only Cavs played good. How sad!
Nets vs Heats. I think Kidd, Carter, Jefferson could cooperate each other to beat Heats. Probably 6 games and wrap the series up. Suns VS Clippers would be more interesting. Suns is the best offense team in the leagure, but their inconsistency is the big x factor. Just think about how they lost 3 straight to Lakers, you will know what the problem is. Elton Brand, the guy I believe should be the true MVP of 2006, still puts monstrous numbers on his resume. With Cory Maggetti, Sam Cassell, Cutino Mobley, and the hair-fly Kaman, I think Elton Brand finally found out the right mix with really competences. If Suns could not finish Clippers in 6 games, I think Clipper would beat Suns in 7 games and keep firing.
Any way, let's go back to A's. Harden is out, so does Loaize. The proud starting rotation now become a experiment lab. What is the depth of A's pitchers and how good they can be, the answer would come up in this month, May. Nick Swisher is playing well now, as well as Eric Chavez. In addition, Mark Ellis and Frank Thomas were hot, too. The 2006 line-up should improve the short-offense problem that stop A's last season. Good luck, Oakland A's, You are gonna rock the AL West!
