NBA Playoffs

The Utah Jazz won a close game 1 in Salt Lake City last night behind another strong performance by Carlos Boozer 35 pts, 14 reb. Golden State and the Jazz traded blows late in the game until Stephen Jackson’s potential game winning 3 ended up hitting the front of the rim with less than 10 seconds to play. Matt Harpring secured the rebound and the Jazz the victory.

This does not swat me away from my original 4-1 series victory for the Warriors, it just makes it a little more difficult to attain. As I stated before, the biggest factor in the series is the play of Boozer, who showed last night that his size, strength and speed will create awkward match-ups for the smaller, faster Warriors. I still feel the Warriors will win it, but have expanded the series to Warriors in 6.

In the other match-up of the night, the Pistons again dominated the Bulls, bring home a 108-87 victory. The Pistons are up 2-0 heading to Chicago and look unstoppable. In the first two games the Pistons have oursscored the Bulls 203-156, but as we all know the NBA’s winds can change at anytime. I am still sticking by my original pick of Pistons in 6.

Game Two tonight between the Suns and Spurs. A MUST WATCH

==MLB Wrap Up==
In the biggest news of the day for baseball David Ortiz was quoted as saying he didn’t think Bonds used steroids to help him hit all those long balls. All that does is make me wonder if Big Papi is just trying to validate the use of Roids.

==Capps Watch==
Matt Capps, in his pursuit of the single-season Holds record, has been suspended 4 games for his hit of the Fresh Prince (Fielder) of Bel Aire.

Quiet day for a Monday.
