On My Mind
The Celtics seem to have the Heat's number. The team formerly known as the basketball world's obsession has not only looked human in their two losses to the defending Eastern Conference champs, it makes one wonder how deep they'll go in the playoffs at all.
This makes the second telling defeat of the Heat in less than a week. (That last line sounds like something out of a Dr. Suess book). The other one being their absolute second half collapse against the Utah Jazz the other night. It's common knowledge that every team in the NBA makes a run at some point in every game. It's uncommon that a team overcomes a 20+ point deficit in the second half against a team that's supposed to be sticking its middle finger up at everyone from Dr. Naismith all the way to Kobe Bryant.
I want to point out one play in particular last night that I think speaks volumes about the one of the Holy Triumverate in Miami: Boston point guard Rajon Rondo dunking on a flat-footed Chris Bosh. You see, I've been saying (along with others) that one thing the Heat are lacking is a true post presence. Zydrunas Ilgauskas was never a post player, even in his prime and while Joel Anthony has proven a nice backup center in my NBA 2K11 franchise, he's hardly going to hold the fort against Dwight Howard, Kevin Garnett, Shaquille O'Neal, or dare I say Andrew Bynum or Pau Gasol.
You can be led by your 2 and 3, however you still need some kind of defensive presence in the lane. Miami doesn't have that and the way Bosh didn't even challenge Rondo's dunk tells me all I need to know about his heart.
Brett Favre says he's done for good after this season. I believe him this time. Watching him Monday- Saturday in press conferences and such shown on SportsCenter, I get this feeling that he really didn't want to come back this season and if he didn't get that visit in his living room he wasn't going to come back.
Sooner or later age catches up to a man and I think it's finally caught the man in the Wranglers, whether his zipper is open or not.
Does anyone need to just call 2010 over more than Tiger Woods? Hit the reset button buddy. It's OK, we've all been there.
Cameron Newton is shaping up to be one of the all-time tragic figures in recent sports history. From everything I've heard in the press, Cam isn't the problem- it's his father or others around him.
Not to mention that any hopes of a Heisman are now shot to pieces after that whole Reggie-Bush-We-Need-That-Heisman-Back thing.
