NBA season is rolling

     I am back for some more sports blogging.  Like I said in my last blog, the MLB season is officially over and I will be talking NBA for the remainder of the year.
     The West has been a little more exciting than the East so far.  The West is lead by former NBA champs, the Los Angeles Lakers and their scoring fiend Kobe Bryant.  They have not lost a game so far with a record of 7-0.  But on the Lakers tail are the New Orleans Hornets who also have not lost a game, with a record of 6-0.  They are trying to get back to the post season and are lead by former All-Star point guard Chris Paul.  He will easily average a double-double like the past three years which will give his team even a better chance of getting back to their old ways.  The Denver Nuggets whose All-Star player Carmelo Anthony is looking to get moved this year.  He tells the media, "It's time for a change."  Last but not least for the West, the young and talented Oklahoma City Thunder are still in the races for the playoffs for their second year in a row.

     Now for the East, the talented Boston Celtics are having a great season with their young talented, double-double machine, Rajon Rondo.  He has been throwing out assist like a mad man all season so far.  Another stud point guard in the East is Bulls All-Star Derrick Rose.  He has uped his points this year and will try to lead his Bulls team to a better playoff seed than the 8, like last year.  With the addition of low post scorer Carlos Boozer the Bulls chances have strength a lot. The Orlando Magic, Miami Heat, and Atlanta Hawks will all be in the top seeds in the East by the end of the year.

     That is all I have for the NBA season update so far.  Tune in next week for some more NBA news and updates.

The MLB season is finally over

     I am back for some more sports blogging.  Things will be changing up from my recent blog entry's.  Mainly because now the baseball season is finally over and professional basketball is starting up.  So now I will just be talking about NBA for the next months.
As for the MLB season, it ended pretty rough for all you Texas Rangers fans.  They went into this series with a advantage with a better offensive team than the San Fransisco Giants.  In game one, both ace pitchers from each team threw.  Rangers Cliff Lee vs. Giants Tim Lincecum .  Texas got a early lead, but in the 5th inning Giants in fielder Juan Uribe crushed a 3run bomb, additional runs were added on that inning, giving the Giants a 6 run 5th inning.  They scored five more, beating the Rangers 11-7.  Game 2, the Giants held the Rangers scoreless and the Giants scored seven runs, beating the Rangers 7-0.  These were some rough loses for the Texas Rangers.  Now the Rangers were playing at their home ball park, down two games.  Game 3, the Rangers got 3 runs early and just played ahead the whole game and finally got a key win they needed.  Game 4 or the second game the Rangers got to play at home did not go as how they wanted as the held Texas from scoring a run as the Giants scored 4.  Now down 3 games to 1 the Rangers needed some key wins.  Game 5, both ace pitchers are back on the mound.  Tim Lincecum threw the best game of his post season recording 10 strikeouts in this one, shutting down the Rangers offense.  In the 7th inning, the Giants get a key 3 run bomb from shortstop Edgar Renteria, carrying the Giants to victory and their first World Series title in 56 years.  The Giants did not do it with a star player but everyone on their roster knew their role and they prevailed in the end, and will be back next year to defend their title as World Series champs.

     Now for the NBA, the Eastern Conference has been a good start for many teams.  The fan favorite, the Miami Heat are in second place with a record of 2-1.  They are behind the Atlanta Hawks who are undefeated with a 3-0 record.  The Hawks will continue with a winning record all throughout the season, with a great offensive team.  The Chicago Bulls and Boston Celtics will make some noise as the season goes on.

      The Western Conference are lead by the defending champs, the LA Lakers and their star player Kobe Bryant.  Big things are in store for them, as they try to go for a three peat.  Some squads trying to stop them will be the young Oklahoma City Thunder lead by four year player, Kevin Durant.  Also the Dallas Mavericks, Utah Jazz, Denver Nuggets, and San Antonio Spurs all want to get in to NBA playoffs and win the tittle.

   As for right now in sports, the MLB season is finally over.  Many fans wish is was still going on becasue it is a exciting sport.  But now it is NBA time, we have about 6 months of NBA to enjoy so we will be enjoying every minute of it.  Tune in next week for some more sports blogging.
