The Second Season (4/21)

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 1:19:17 EDT

So the long stretch known as the second season has begun, and I could not be more excited. If this weekend showed anything, its that these playoffs in the NBA could be the best we've seen in years. The first round match-ups are extremely even in the West, with every team having at least 50 wins. An unheard of feat in the NBA, but its sad that sub .500 teams can advance in the weak East, but 50 wins didn't even get the Golden State Warriors in.

I made 2 bold predictions a few weeks ago....

1- The Mavericks would not advance out of the first round again, which seems all but a forgone conclusion after CP3's performance on Saturday. The kid looks like a man trying to prove he deserves the MVP, (Which he won't get) and I think this team is showing everyone they deserve that 2 seed.

America's Pasttime/Final Four (4/3)

So its my second favorite time of year now, the beginning of football season of course being number one, and of course the baseball talk is already running the conversations here at work. Opening days brings all sorts of questions, you wonder if your team made enough moves or if they got the player to get them over the hump. I know tons of people that take the first week seriously, which I find hilarious because baseball is not a sport where week-to-week records matter. In fact I feel the first few are still Spring Training, because unless your team tanks out of the gate with a 5-20 record theres really no reason to start worrying yet. So crazy fans remember, don't get to worried yet because we have all summer to get this thing called the regular season squared away.

First off Happy St. Patrick's Day....aka, drink and fight like your irish. I don't know if anyone else got the chance, but this was a great weekend of college basketball. This weekend definately set the bar for March Madness. I am pretty excited for the tourney, I got my bracket all set and the first few days of the tourney off so i can really concentrate on the games. After watching the selection show I have decided that no matter what its never going to be the teams that deserve to get in, but who has the most fan support. Every year there are teams that more then deserve to get in but get overlooked for someone who doesnt. Whatever, it happens. Time to just move on and talk about who did get in. I don't feel like going over all my picks, just a few.
