Things are sweet on the left coast.
At the Chavez Ravine, the Dodgers (17-8) are going for their 10th straight home win to start the season, a franchise record. We're sending our thick legged stud, Billingsly, to the mound against this dude --> , so needless to say, I'm feeling pretty good. The Dogs keep on finding ways to win, and once Kershaw gets on track and we get Kuroda back, they should be the team to beat in the NL.
The Lakers kick off their series against the Rockets tonight in LA. Ronnie Artest is talking smack saying that Brandon Roy, not Kobe or Lebron, is the toughest player to guard in the NBA. Not sure that calling out the Black Mamba and the stud they'd match up with in the finals IF they get past the Lake Show is the smartest move. I'm feeling pretty good about the series. We have 2 legit 7 footers to throw at your royal Yao-ness and Scola, Ariza and Kobe to throw at Batier and Ronny A, and Odom is playing like he deserves a fatty contract next year. Aaron Brooks might cause some matchup problems, but I think we have enough quick little dudes to throw at him. Unless Yao can completely dominate the series, the Rockets don't have a chance. Secretly, I'm hoping Artest runs into the stands and gets in a fight with Timberlake or Denzel--I think that would make the series a lot more interesting. Prediction: Lakers in 5
On another note, look for the Hawks to take the Cavs to 6 or 7. These dudes can ball and remind me a lot of the 2004 Pistons. They're deep, athletic, long, have a good point guard, and some good big men. Mark my words, either the Magic or Hawks -if not both- will be in the Eastern Conference Finals.
