Monday Morning Mashup

Weekends are great, no work, lounge time around the house, just plain relaxation, but now it's back to the grind, and here we are with a couple of great games on this past weekend.

First, Saturday the Jazz vs. Mavericks, and no Mark Cuban didn't walk out onto the court this time, but what a match up this one was.

Two of the high powered western conference offenses squared off, and man they did not disappoint. It was an all out aerial assault, with a little post up action to. The final score 115-108.

In an ironic turn of events the Jazz shot a higher percentage from the floor as they hit 51% of their shots, where as the Mavs only hit 50%.

Dirk Nowitzki looked like his former MVP self, as he put up a very impressive 16-20 shooting and a grand total of 39 points. The Mavs went on to win, and snapped a 4 game losing skid.

On Sunday, again another show of the offense's. The Raptors took on the Phoenix Suns at home in hopes of a win against a western conference power. Unfortunately it did not happen. The Raptors fell 117-113.

Leading the scoring for the Suns was non other than Amare Stoudamire.
Even though Steve Nash wasn't on the high scorers list he still deserves honorable mentions with his impressive 18 assists.

Here's a couple video highlights from both games Saturday and Sunday(respectively).

Enjoy the weekend everyone, see you on Monday.

Possible NBA Finals Matchup tonight?

Two games caught my eye as I looked at the NBA schedule for tonight. The Cavs vs. The Hornets, and Lakers vs. Magic. All four of these teams have playoff implications, and have a very good chance of winning the title come seasons end.

The Cavs. are looking like a championship caliber team this year as they are now sit at an impressive 30-7 and have one of the front runners for the MVP this season in LeBron James. What do the Cav's have to do to win tonight? I know, dumb question right, they must close out Chris Paul. With Paul averaging 22 points a game and just over 12 assists per game, watch for double teams to try to trap him to try to force the turnover.

CP3 and the Hornets have a tough matchup before them tonight against the impressive Cavs. The Hornets have a record worse than how they look when they play, 23-12 appears to be a little low for how well they have been playing as of late. The Hornets should watch video of the Bulls vs. Cavs game from last night to see what they did to slow LeBron down.

My prediction for this game Cleveland -3 (point spread from Betus.com).

The other matchup, Lakers vs. Magic, airs tonight at 10:30 PM, has National Championship caliber.

The Lakers sit atop the Western Conference with an unpresidented record of 31-7. Kobe is having another All-star caliber season, but one thing that the Lakers must do to slow down the Magic, you guessed it, cover Dwight Howard. Dwight has averaged nearly 14 rebounds per game this season. Box him out, to win the game.

The Magic are second overall in the Power rankings this week, seated behind the the Cavs(king james, king cavs, ironic), with their record at 31-8. You guessed it guard Kobe Bryant is the way the Magic are going to win this game tonight. Expect this one to be a great game.

My pick Orlando by +4 1/2.

Enjoy the games to night everyone.
