That's enough of a warning, by gruesome I mean a slight injury to a nose, don't worry I'm not about to post Alan Smith breaking his leg for Manchester United back a year ago. So enough of that silly topic, let's hit up the hardwood.
Yes it's basketball playoffs, and to say it's great to watch on HDTV, I've decided it's the best sport to watch on that, mind you I haven't seen curling or for that matter football, but the shiny floor is just so mesmerizing to watch. *Reminder at times I have the brain of a monkey* Anyways I have a few favourite moments of the last 2 weeks of basketball bliss... and by the way it's been bliss, not as interesting as overtime in the NHL. But the Golden State versus Dallas series did enough to keep me distracted from hockey.
Which brings me to my new favorite picture of all time. I would like to congratulate Baron Davis for choosing to wear this ridiculous outfit before a game. Anyone who is able to wear a scarf and at the same time have bullets in his hat can now be my new favorite player *This does not mean that I will draft him in the 1st round of any basketball pool, a reminder to my friends on that front*.
By the way check out that playoff beard, it's very nice as Borat would say.
Moving on, talk about round 2. Even though it has already started, oh well, let's break it down.
Detroit versus Chicago: I've decided the Eastern Conference sucks until it gets to the conference finals. Chicago is good and all, but they are too young and too inexperienced to get the job down against a team that rarely loses it's composure when Rasheed Wallace is on the bench.
New Jersey versus Cleveland: So basically Lebron versus, Kidd-Jefferson-Carter. I have no interest in this series, mostly because I hate both cities, yes I've never visited, but if Charles Barkley can hate on Oakland, I can sure hate on Cleveland and New Jersey.
Golden State versus Utah: Ah the mormons made it through, now it's a game of low post versus 3 point shooting. Something says it will all depend on what type of tempo Golden State gets to play, get Utah to run and gun and the win, if not, well they might as well be happy they made the playoffs this year.
Phoenix versus San Antonio: Okay, so apparently it's okay to make someone bleed, check the below picture, if this series doesn't go to 7 games I will feel cheated, it's the best series to watch in the 2nd round, as long as you don't mind seeing a bunch of flopping. San Antonio makes Ronaldo look tame at diving, yes I'm looking at you Parker and Ginobli.
Steve Nash is right now thinking this means war Eva, invite me to your wedding already, I'm french enough living in Canada.
**SOCCER**
Congrats to PSV and Manchester for winning their respective league titles, yes PSV with a dramatic comeback victory from 3rd to 1st in the last day of competition, it was amazing stuff to witness.
**HOCKEY**
Just get ready for the Sabres versus Sens series, I'm just hoping a brawl breaks out in the first game between these two sides, both have a lot of hatred towards one another.
