NBA Season still in Jeopardy....

Players Association executive director Billy Hunter says the 2011-12 NBA season will likely be canceled entirely because the commissioner's negotiating leeway is in danger of being undermined by a group of hard-line owners.


This is not GOOD news at all. I dont like hearing this news, I need to watch my NBA this season. WHY?!?!?!? is this happening now. Why cant these 2 sides just work out on this situation and give the fans what they want which is NBA Basketball.

The eastern conference matchups have already been set up but the western conference matchups has not been set up but today being the last day of the regular season, the western conference matchups will be finally decided. Right now, the Lakers are in the #2 spot but they still dont know who they are play in the 1st round of the playoffs. (Finally, the 2011 NBA regular season just ended and the Lakers are the #2 spot in the Western conference playoffs by winning in dramatic and trilling fashion over time game against the Sacramento Kings 116-108). So now both conferences are set! Let the Playoffs begin.....

Whats up the Lakers?

 LA Lakers were on a 18-1 winning streak and winning 9 games in a row when the Lakers just lost the 3 games in a row (including tonights lost against the Golden State Warriors). They have lost to Denver Nuggets and Utah Jazz at home and Golden State Warriors on the road. The Lakers have 4 games left before the playoffs begin. They need to step up their game if they want to stay in the 2 spot of the Western Conference standings. Their last games are: April 8 at Portland TrailBlazers, April 10 at home vs Oklahoma City Thunder, April 12 at home vs San Antonio Spurs and April 13 at Sacramento Kings. Lakers need to the all 4 of these games in order to keep in pace with staying the #2 spot of the Western Conference standings and head of the Dallas Mavericks. So, lets go Lakers! Lets show these people whos boss!!!

Lakers Playoff push.....

The LA Lakers are currently sitting in the #2 spot of the Western Conference standings at 50-20. There are 12 games left until the playoffs start and the Lakers already have their eyes set on staying in the #2 spot so that when the playoffs start, they will have homecourt advantage during the first 2 rounds of the playoffs. Looking at the Western Conference standings now:
  1. San Antonio Spurs (56-13)
  2. Los Angeles Lakers (50-20)
  3. Dallas Mavericks (49-21)
  4. Oklahoma City Thunder (45-24)
  5. Denver Nuggets (41-29)
  6. Portland TrailBlazers (40-30)
  7. New Orleans Hornets (40-31)
  8. Memphis Grizzles (38-32)
If the playoffs were to start today, the potential matchups would be:
  1. San Antonio Spurs Vs. 8. Memphis Grizzles
  2. Los Angeles Lakers vs. 7. New Orleans Hornets
  3. Dallas Mavericks vs. 6. Portland TrailBlazers
  4. Oklahoma City Thunder vs. 5. Denver Nuggets
But if it so happens that the Lakers end up in the #3 spot at the end of the regular season, it would mean that they wont have homecourt advantage during the first 2 rounds of the playoffs, would have to play the tougher teams during the first 2 rounds and they would be on the road during most of these games. 

So as the Lakers are playing their last 12 games of the regular season , they need to keep in mind that each game they are playing for is for homecourt advantage during the first 2 rounds of the playoffs and by being in the #2 spot it will make their chances of winning a 3rd NBA title a more little more smoother to accomplish.

ps Congrats on the LA Lakers formally clinching a playoff berth and wrapping up their fourth consecutive Pacific Division title and 50-victory season.

Los Angeles Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers are the 2 time defending NBA champs are are seeking for their 3rd NBA championship this season under the Hall of fame head coach Phil Jackson. Lakers have been on a serious tear  of winning games since the All Star break. They have won 11 of 12 games and their only lost came from the Miami Heat, But the Lakers  are playing some serious defense and showing the rest of the league that they are still the 2 time defending NBA champs and anyone eles who want to win the title this year is going to beat LA first. 

Phil Jackson has recently mentioned that this will his last season coaching in the NBA. So this would be awesome send off gift if the Lakers can win their 3 straight NBA title and it will Jackson's 12th and NBA league leading in NBA titles as a head coach. So I hope that the rest of the teams will be ready to face the LA Lakers head on if they want to have any chance of being the last team standing at the end of the season in June.....

Lets Go Lakers, Lets Go! Purple and Gold baby! all day and everyday!!

(ps. I am a die heart Lakers and Kobe Bryant fan!!!)

Super Bowl XLV

This year's Super Bowl will be held in the new Cowboys stadium in Arlington, Texas, where the Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers will be competing for the Super Bowl and bragging rights until next year. This year's Super Bowl is kinda of an interesting because many people didn't think that these 2 teams would ever be competing for the Super Bowl maybe the Steelers but not the Packers. People were predicting New Orleans Saints (last years champ), Atlanta Falcons, Chicago Bears or Philadelphia Eagles were going to be in the Super Bowl but none of these teams made it. The Packers were apart of the many teams that had injuries that hindered them throughout the season including the injury to their quarterback, Aaron Rodgers who suffered a serious concussion that forced him to sit out the last few games of the season before entering the playoffs, but once Rodgers got the "green light" to begin playing again his team was one of the hottest teams entering the playoffs Well, being one of the hottest teams coming into the playoffs paid off for them because now they are playing for the Super Bowl.

The Steelers are playing in their 2nd Super Bowl in 3 years. Head Coach Mike Tomlin is trying to win his 2nd Super Bowl Championship as a African American Head Coach. Even with all of the news and media circling around quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger, the Steelers were still focused on their goal to head back to the Super Bowl. Now all of their hard work, determination and focus paid off now that they are heading to the Super Bowl. Well my prediction to the win the Super Bowl XLV is....... Pittsburgh Steelers (Black & Yellow) because they have been to the Super Bowl before and they are an experienced team. 

Good Luck Steelers & Packers!! May the best team win!!

Women & Sports

Men in the world today are known as "sports buffs", "sports experts" and "sports lovers", but I have come to realization that there are women today as well that are "sports lovers", "sports buffs" and "sports experts". I have come to notice that women play attention to sports like football, basketball, soccer, baseball, tennis, golf and hockey. Woman today love to follow their favorite sports team and cheer them on to victory.
For example, in my house, everyone is a HUGE sports fan, especially basketball and football. My mom is a HUGE Los Angeles Clippers fan and the rest of the family is a HUGE Los Angeles Lakers fans and San Diego Chargers fans as well, we hardly miss their games. We still cheer for other teams as well....


All I want to say to the men is that "Woman and Men can be equal BUT woman are so much better than men...." 


Keep It Up Ladies!
