Toronto - New Jersey

Alright so this is my second update, it hasn't been that long since my first but obviously the Toronto had a Win or Summer Break game tonight. Although, I thought they would be able to win this series, I didn't think they would win this game. Anyway point is when The Nets crushed Toronto J-Kidd played like he was a god, put here to play basketball. His current stat-line 1:23 left in the 3rd- is 5 points, 7 assists, 4 rebounds and 3 turnovers and guess what the Nets are down by more than ten. basically he is the Heart, Mind Body and Soul of that team and basically anything else he could possibly be. If J-Kidd has another Triple Double this series is over and maybe even if he doesn't. If he continues to play like this than the Raptors could win the series.
Update: Well it's also to important to note that all of the Raptors "role players" have shown up in a serious way. Four players are in double figures and neither Bosh nor Ford is having a productive game.
Note: I'm not watching the game, so I can't comment on how much each member is contributing non-statically
Update: T.J. Ford had to leave due to a VC elbow to the mouth, so that would explain the unproductive game. Bosh is also saddled with four personal fouls. This could be real bad news for the Raptors because it seems that this elbow to the mouth some how effected the nerves in T.J.'s arms. He missed part of his rookie year and all of his sophomore effort due to back problems stemming from a collision with Mark Madsen. T.J.'s injuries could back which would be awful for the Raptors and Colangelo. I have to say I was surprised by the trade, because trading big for small and healthy for sick doesn't make any sense. Yet, this season Villanueva was the injured and T.J. Ford played very well, so it seemed that the Raptors got the better part of the deal. In the words of the immortal Hikaru Utada "Time Will Tell."

My First Post

So, this is my first post, I don't have that much to say. but, let's start with the basics I am a Lakers fan, but this is in no way, shape or, form a Lakers Blog. They may come up a tad more than other NBA teams because I pay more attention to them. I also plan on talking about music a fair amount, mostly reviews of albums and stuff like that. I'll post up a (working) list of my top 100 songs ever, so everyone can have an idea of what I listen to.
The NBA playoffs happen to coincide with the best time of the year, which isn't exactly a good thing because it can be a bit of an overload. Amazingly in the first round this year there is only one series that at this point must go beyond 5 games. that series is the Utah-Houston series, which might be one of the better ones in terms of pure basketball, but is awfully boring to watch. This is coming from someone who loves low scoring games and good defense. Something I don't often see from the Lakers. I'm so proud of the Bulls because they swept Heat, I picked the Bulls to beat the Heat, but not in 4 games. It is too late for first round predictions so I'll predict the second round before it begins.

That's it for now,
Matt
