Lakers Hire Mike Brown

And the Lakers hire Mike Brown after Phil Jackson retires.
Maybe Lebron will come to LA. Hah!

Thunder vs Mavericks, Heat vs Bulls

Again, if you've been watching the NBA playoffs then you know the main difference between these two match-ups. Despite Dallas' prime defense today, the Western Conference Finals definitely are more of a shootoff, while the Eastern Conference packs in the paint and stacks up the defense.

Dirk's 24 for 24 from the line in game 1 was pretty ridiculous. 48 points on 12 of 15 shooting is almost unheard of. And Durant had 40, but Westbrook just couldn't land a field goal shooting just 3 of 15.

And in the Heat/Bulls series, Lebron just needs to take off. I know no one can compare to the D Rose contortions but Lebron can definitely drive just as hard which would open up other players.

And Chris Bosh just needs to quit being such a velociraptor.

Mavs.

Make that 4-0. Dallas finishing up the sweep today. Pretty classy play by Odom and Bynum though. Sheesh.

The Dallas Mavericks.

3-0'ing the Lakers?
And just before the series started, I was talking to a buddy about the Mavs maybe getting swept up. Damn, what a turn around.

And that Derrick Rose performance was certainly MVP-esque.
