Sports Notes

Posted by: Bradley McDonald

Some notes from this past weekend:

  • Both of the number one seeded NBA playoff teams (Suns and Heat) advanced by sweeping their opponents. So much for parity in the NBA.
  • Ray Allen scored 45 points to lead Seattle to a 3-1 advantage over the Kings. His release is so quick that defenders sometimes are just getting off the ground when his shot is already in the basket. When he is on like he was last night, it's a beautiful thing to watch.
  • The Astros took 2 out of 3 from the Cubs this weekend to stay in the middle of the NL Central pack. Even if the Astros were in last place, I'd be happy to see them beat the Cubs. Growing up, all of my friends were Cubs fans, so I was greatly outnumbered. I still get harassed (and do some harrassing) due to the Cubs/Astros rivalry, but it's all in good fun. I still love to see the Cubs fail, though.
