?????????

I don't know what's happening with either of my teams. First Cleveland goes down 3-1 to Orlando, last night. Now Denver is down 3-2 to the Lakers. These playoffs are starting to suck.

Conference Finals

Man!!! The NBA conference finals have been crazy this year. Friday night, Lebron James hits a 3-point buzzer beater to give his team the win and tie the series at 1-1 against Orlando. Last night, the Lakers went from trailing the entire game to winning by 8, putting them up in the series 2-1. What's going to happen tonight, as Lebron and the Cavs once again take on Dwight Howard and the Magic? Who knows. One thing is for sure, though. It's going to be an exciting game.

MCOM 63 Video Podcast

Let's take time out of our Faded Hoops theme to appreciate all the moms out there. Mother's Day just recently occurred and I thought I'd share a project I created for my mom this past Mother's Day.

Kobe Bryant ESPN Movie

ESPN aired a movie about Kobe Bryant today, presented in documentary form with commentary by Bryant. The movie was very interesting. I was glued to the television, but, of course, I am a basketball enthusiast. The life of Kobe Bryant seems like a lot of fun. He gets to do the job he loves, he has a beautiful family, and he is enjoying his life. What more can you ask for?

Playoffs Update

As the first round of the NBA Playoffs is getting ready to come to a close, I thought I would update everyone on the standings.

West:

Mavericks win series against the Spurs 4 - 1

Lakers win series against the Jazz 4 -1

Nuggets lead the series against the Hornets 3 - 1

Rockets lead the series against the Trailblazers 3 - 2

Personally, I'm interested to see what happens in this last series. Can the Trailblazers come back to win out over the Rockets.

East:

Cavaliers win series against the Pistons 4 - 0

Celtics lead series against the Bulls 3 - 2

Magic lead series against the 76ers 3 -2

Heat are tied in their series with the Hawks 2 -2

Again, I am interested to see how the last series turns out. Either team could take it.

What are your predictions?

What are your predictions for the NBA playoffs?

So NBA Playoff time is here again, kicking off yesterday, and there are some good matchups in both the Eastern and Western conference. Let's hear it, people. Who do you think will win it all? What are your predictions?

Eastern Conference:

Cleveland vs Detroit

Olando vs Philadelphia

Chicago vs Boston

Atlanta vs Miami

Western Conference:

Los Angeles vs Utah

Portland vs Houston

Dallas vs San Antonio

New Orleans vs Denver

Marbury Goes to Boston

Recently, Stephon Marbury was traded to the Boston Celtics, once again teaming up with his old friend, Kevin Garnett. I feel this is a good move because it gives Boston more depth and Marbury will fit in well with their style of play. But let's here your thoughts on the subject. Do you think it was a good trade?

All-Star Weekend

All-Star Weekend is here! Last night was the rookie challenge. Tonight is the shooting stars, skills challenge, 3-point contest, and the dunk contest (the piece de resistance). Tomorrow night is the All-Star Game. Hope you guys get a chance to see at least some of the festivities. Enjoy

Lakers vs Cavs

So now, it's the Lakers against the Cavs. Lebron against Kobe. Personally, I can't even root for one over the other. I have mad respect for both teams and both players. Both LJ and KB are unstoppable in their own ways - Lebron with his strenght, speed, and hops and Kobe with his killer fadeaway. Frankly I am just going to sit back and enjoy the game. I hope yall catch it.

Challenges & Opportunities for Bloggers

Blogging provides so much opportunity for people who want to network, show their thoughts and ideas, and exhibit their work. By posting blogs, people can get themselves seen by millions of people.
Yes, blogging does provide much opportunity, but it is met with one major challenge - getting your blog noticed. Bloggers have to have interesting info that grabs the reader and makes them want to come back again and again (ex: Perez Hilton). If a blogger can do that, then they will be able to successfully network and share info with millions of people.
