youtube video is blurry, really blurry at the library, but it was good enough for me to finally watch the lebron dunk. that was impressive. i guess iso plays for players who have speed are now done everytime at the top of the key as opposed to the wingside, eh? the head fake james threw at posey was probably what was most impressive during that sequence.

if you've wondered where michael cooper was after that awful stint trying to coach the denver nuggets and trying to get them to play defense only(good luck), the answer is... the los angeles sparks' head coach. i was taken aback when i saw it.

i see james lin everytime i volunteer at kaiser; cool eh?

i genuinely thought before i left the library yesterday that the cavaliers were going to win game 5. celtics don't look as complete a team in the playoffs that they looked in the regular season. you HAVE to be able to win on the road. maybe not all the time, but have to at least 2-3 times during the journey to the magical number of 16 wins.

i didn't say this, but the pictures that show tayshaun stopping hedo's dunk look a LOT more like he's getting posterized because his head is back, lol(maybe the cameramen shouldv'e taken the picture earlier). thank god that wasn't what happened.

*sigh* i'm not gonna be having a lot of fun this weekend and next week.

i wonder how much drive i have. couple that with my above-average IQ = ?

the prince of the palace doing his thing on d

all-defense team:

1st:
"G": kobe, bowen
"F": duncan, garnett
"C": camby

2nd:
"G": bell, paul
"F": tayshaun, battier
"C": howard

my only main objection is that camby should NOT be on there. at all, 1st or 2nd. not closing out on shooters so you don't give up rebounding position is not good d. move howard to 1st, put tyson on 2nd. debatably, bell shouldn't be on there either; shaun marion was clearly the suns' best defender, but now he's gone.

i so wanna see a video of that dunk lebron james put on garnett after blowing past pierce and head faking posey outta the way.

(yea, yea, i know, rich, how can you like the cavs-er, i mean, lebron, if you're a die-hard pistons fan?)

(and why do the best dunks always seem to come during blowouts?)

that drive to the floater that tayshaun made to win game 4 so reminded me of what he used to do all the time during the 2004-2005 season; get the ball on the wing, fake a shot, drive and put up a floater in the paint. just pretty.

and lebron james' blocks and passes are just amazing.
