LA. Lakers Vs The Orlando Magic! Wow, exciting… not really. The games biggest star is now on a few month vacation and Cleveland blows yet another run at a championship while LA and Orlando go for it again. Exciting! Can you hear the sarcasm in my voice? Maybe someday the NBA will get on board with spurring actual competition by having a workable salary cap that actually enhances the game.

The NBA playoffs are in full swing! Is anyone watching? With the economy in such a slump it would seem likely that people are turning to sports, movies and music to make them feel better. Traditionally Hollywood has been recession proof but recently there has been a noticeable slump in ticket sales. I was wondering if the same thing was happening to the sports world. I typically don;t watch too much basketball until the layoffs so I’ll be helping to boost ratings over the next few weeks!

With the Celtics and the Lakers leading their divisions in the NBA it’s easy to see that this season is turning out to be a wild one! With football forgotten now and NASCAR not really hitting on all cylinders yet, Basketball is running at the top of the charts right now! So any takers on who is going to end up on top this year? I’m guessing Cleveland runs away with it in the end but that’s just me!
