I have to say this has been a pretty great NBA season so far, headlined by the teams we all knew would dominate the league. With the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers jumping out to an early Western Conference lead to an amazing 4-way Eastern Conference battle, some exciting basketball has been played so far this season. Cleveland, Boston, Atlanta, and Orlando are having yet another battle for top dog in the East with plenty of games left to play. The West has tighten up a bit after the Lakers have given up a huge early season lead with Phoenix, Utah, Denver, and Dallas now on their heels. This should make for a great finish to the regular season followed up by yet another amazing post season. With the trade deadline for the 2010 season now passed, there were a handful of big moves among top teams. Surprisingly the trade of Amare Stoudemire was not the top headline and actually didn't even happen as Phoenix hangs on to him. However the best trade was made by the Cleveland Cavaliers who acquired PF Antwan Jamison from the Wizards. Also the Knicks picked up a top player in Tracy McGrady as well as freeing up some money in what everyone thinks will be for a move on LeBron James for the 2011 season. Finally I must comment on a game I watched last night that matched up arguably the top 2 players of 2010, LeBron James vs Carmelo Anthony. LeBron seemed to statically dominate this game with racking up a huge triple double halfway through the 4th quarter and finished the game with 43 points, 15 assists, and 13 rebounds. However it would be Carmelo who would have the last laugh as well as the last (game winning) shot. LeBron had an amazing offensive game but had problems guarding the elusive Anthony who made his last 2 shots right in LeBron's face and who knows this game may have been a NBA Finals preview. How is everyone else feeling about this season so far? What are your predictions?
That game winner that Melo took was ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteYeah right in LeBron's face. Pretty wild
