It was a weekend of beat downs in the NBA, so who had the big ones?
1. Lebron simply beat the snot of the Hawks on Saturday. I'm pretty sure on Saturday Lebron was 7 feet tall and consumed the Hawks with lightning bolts from his ass. Coach of the Hawks, Mike Woodson, was reduced to stammering and sighing as by the fourth quarter his team had thrown in the towel, raised the white flag, and assumed the position of obedience. It was the best performance of the 2009 playoffs from the league MVP that has scored 108 points in 108 minutes. The Cavs competition to date has been light and the Cavs struggled mightily against whoever their next foe is in the regular season but at the moment its stream roll city.
2. #2 on the Beat down list is Dallas. First apparently Dirk's girlfriend gets arrested for international espionage (note might have been a different crime) and then the refs apparently ate their whistle in the waning seconds of the game to seal a Denver 3-0 lead. Denver with the Bird Man, Nene, and Kenyan Martin seem to have the size to compete with anyone at the moment. Its not often that the #2 team in conference was under-rated - but its looking like thats the case with the Nuggets.
3. Lakers - yes they Lakers blew game 5 but without Yao Houston efforts ultimately seemed doomed. I'm not sure what the Lakers' problem is. Boredom? Soft in the middle? Aging back court? Zen Master losing his touch? I don't have the first clue. But they will win the series. Its just going to take a few more games.
4. Orlando/Boston - No beat downs here. Or at least consistent. Orlando certainly seemed to have the series in hand until it let GLEN DAVIS to make this an extended series. Is Game 5 in Boston a must win for the Celtics? I dunno. Good thing I get paid for that kind of crack analysis
