Tip Off 2010

The first two nights of the NBA season has had the excitement of a NBA finals. The Heat-Celtics game on Tuesday was very exciting and the fans in Boston were ready like it was a playoff match up, those two teams will have in the eastern conference finals. The Heat will be fine, and beat the 76ers by ten last night with Wade looking much better, but it is just going to take some time, they are not going to win 70 games, but they will be fine. The Celtics are one of the teams that got the most out of all the hype the heat get. Lets not forget this team was in game 7 of the finals last year, and added Shaq, J O'neal, and more importantly kept PP, Ray, KG and the rest all in tack. This team plays great defense and I still feel, even though they lost at the Cavs last night, this is the best TEAM in the east.

The Lakers won a close game vs the Rockets, they are a jump shooting team so when Brooks and Martin are hot, watch out the Rockets will beat some people, but if they are off, they will lose some ugly games. It is nice to see Yao back, but it is clear he still isn't 100%, and can only play 24 minutes a game. The Lakers ring ceremony was sweet, what a great idea.

Durant had 30 and the Thunder beat the Bulls, who are a good team, like I thought they would be, D Rose is quickly rising in the PG rankings, top 5 for sure, close to the top 3 with CP3 and D wills, he is just so talented.

CK had 8 points and 11 rebounds last night in the Clippers lost, but my boy did not play well, he shot 4-18 from the floor, which is really really bad, so hopefully he got that bad shooting out of the way, and will play better next game. Blake Griffen showed he was worth the wait for Clipper fans as he had 20 points and 14 rebounds, on 8-14 shooting, more impressive of his 14 rebounds, 9 were offensive, that's big time. His first NBA points was on a lob that was thrown high on a two on one, and he got up and threw it down with one hand, if you haven't seen it, you should. B Roy is sick and lead 5 blazers in double digits with 22.

The Nets started last year 0-18, this year they are 1-0. They beat my Pistons by 3, despite the Pistons being up 7 with 1:40 to play. The Nets out worked the Pistons and new coach Avery Johnson out coached Kruster all night, especially in the 4th. He showed how much he wanted to win the game, by going hack a Ben in the 4th with about 4 minutes left. It took three or four trips down the floor before Big Ben was finally taking out. I think Johnson knew with a young team they need to have some success early to gain some confidence. With Lopez inside and Harris outside they have a nice 1-2 punch, they will not make the playoffs this year, but they will be better. As for my Pistons, that was a terrible loss, but the important thing to remember about it is it is just one game, you have 81 more, don't let the Nets beat you twice, as they say, Friday night in the home opener it will be much tougher, against the Thunder, but the Pistons need to regroup and be ready to go. I still feel that this team will make the playoffs in the east as the 7th or 8th seed.

Good weekend of college football this weekend as well, as NFL of course, and NBA and NHL games, so it should be a great sports weekend. Wings play tonight, and should be well rested, they haven't played since Saturday. So hopefully they can get another win tonight.

USC will score on Oregon for awhile, but Oregon will beat them

Nebraska will beat Mizzu

MSU will beat Iowa... I am all in on MSU now, they are winning the big ten, meaning Iowa will beat them 31-17

Michigan gets a big win over PSU this week

Auburn gets by Ole Miss

Farve will play, but the Pats will beat the Viks anyway

Colts will beat the Texans at home, they can't get swept by them

Skins will beat the Lions, because they just had a bad game, so they are now due for a good game. I'm right, you're wrong.
