THE LAKERS ARE ON A ROLL, WINNING AGAINST THE NUGGETS, 103-88,  WITH THEIR YOUNG AND DOMINATING CENTER REACHING A TRIPLE DOUBLE IN HIS FIRST OUTING OF THE NBA PLAYOFF SEASON. YES, MR. ANDREW  BYNUM’S BOX SCORES ARE AS FOLLOWS: 13 REBOUNDS(2 OFFENSIVE)- 10 BLOCKED SHOTS- 10 POINTS. WITH THIS YOUNG 7FOOT PLUS WIDE BODY IN THE PAINT, GASOL ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE, AND THE “BLACK MUMBA”-“KOBE BRYANT” RUNNING THE SHOW, LOOK FOR THIS NEW LOOK “LOS ANGELES LAKERS” TEAM TO BE AT THE TOP OF THEIR GAME THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PLAYOFF SERIES. THEIR NEW COACH, IT SEEMS, HAVE MADE THE EFFORT TO BUY INTO THE FACT THAT HE HAS THE PIECES TO WIN THE 2012 CHAMPIONSHIP AND IF HE CONTINUES TO KEEP THE RIGHT MIX OF ATHELETES ON THE FLOOR FOR THE LAKERS, THEY WILL NOT ONLY WIN THE WEST, BUT ALSO TAKE A 6TH TITLE FOR THEIR FUTURE HALL OF FAMER, KOBE BRYANT.
ALSO, YOY HAVE THE SAN ANTONIA SPURS FINALLY HEALTHY, AND ALSO WINNING LIKE THE OLD DAYS, BLOWING BY THE YOUNG UTAH FRANCHISE WITH A WIN, 106-91. THEY SAY THAT THESE GUYS ARE OLD, BUT THEY SHOWED THE JAZZ THE WAY TO THE DOOR,  WITH A FANTASTIC CROSS THE BOARD DISPLAY OF CRITICAL BASKETBALL DECISION MAKING DURING THIS ENTIRE GAME. AND WOW, THE LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS WENT ON A 24-1 RUN TO BOUNCE BACK AND DEFEAT A MEMPHIS GRIZZLES TEAM THAT THOUGHT THE GAME WAS OVER, WINNING 99-98. CHRIS PAUL HAD TO ASK HIS COACH, VINNY DEL NEGRO TO REINSERT THE STARTERS AND GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO ATTEMPT A COMEBACK, AND WITH THAT OPPORTUNITY GRANTED, PAUL LED HIS TEAM ON THE GREATEST COMEBACK OF THE YOUNG NBA PLAYOFF SERIES RUN. AND FINALLY, THE BOSTON CELTICS ARE IN TROUBLE, LOSING RONDO ON A POSSIBLE SUSPENSION, AND WITH THE GREATEST 3POINT PLAYER ON THE BENCH,  IT APPEARS THAT THE CELTICS ARE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE GOING FORWARD. THE ATLANTA HAWKS SIMPLY OVERWHELMED THESE GUYS FROM START TO FINISH WITH A WIN TODAY, 83-74.
WITH ALL OF THE SUSPENSIONS, INJURIES, AND BAD CALLS, THE GAME HAS BEEN REALLY A DOWNER THIS PAST SEASON. THESE REFEREES ARE OF THE MINDSET THAT THE FANS ARE THEIR TO SEE THEM AND NOT THE PLAYERS. THE NBA HAS TO GET THESE REF’S OFF OF THEIR HIGH HORSES AND JUST DO THEIR JOBS. AND WITH THAT SAID, LET’S HOPE FOR A BETTER PLAYOFF SERIES GOING FORWARD.
MYBOYSAY BASKETBALL SPORTS NATION, WHO DO YOU FEEL WILL BE AT THE TOP OF THE EAST AND WEST CONFERENCES AT THE END OF THE SERIES? TELL THE NBA SPORTS GALLERY OF FANS YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS MATTER.
