Mamba Time

Down 20 midway through the 3rd quarter? Forget about it! My name's Kobe Bryant and I own crunch time. One of the sweetest game one victories I have ever witnessed and Ginobili having a miserable game just put a cherry on it. Stat of the playoffs: Phil Jackson is 40-0 in playoff series when winning game one.

Have to love that any of the remaining four teams in the playoffs have legit shots at winning the title. If this Laker-Spurs series carries on this way, it'll be hard to top.


Speaking of excellent series matchups, I don't think there's been a better Stanley Cup Finals matchup since Colorado v New Jersey in 2001, potentially when Pittsburgh hooked up with Chicago in 1992. I'm talking strictly about when two heavyweights collide and this Pens-Wings Finals has the potential to be the most exciting, most entertaining of the last 20 years. Yowza! I wasn't a believer at the start of the season, but I'm taking Pittsburgh. In SIX! Fleury has just looked phenomenal. The big Red Wing machine might have trouble cracking this one, especially having yet to face a squad as offensively gifted as themselves.
