4/24/14 night in sports

What a great night in sports last night. I watched the Pacers game and literally can’t explain what has happened to them. I can’t tell if they simply don’t have the discipline to win right now or if they simply don’t care. Their body language showed that they didn’t want to play last night and the only guy I thought who cared was West and even that is a stretch. They pushed hard to get the #1 seed but look like the shot all their bullets to get there.

Ok, ok, enough with that topic. I watched the Minnesota Wild vs Colorado Avalanche play game 4 and I thought it was a great game. Sure I’m a bit biased but the Wild skated around Colorado like they were the Pacers…too good of an analogy not to use. The shots on goal were 32 to 12 in favor of the Wild and that alone should have won them the game but I tip my hat to the Wild’s penalty kill. It has been outstanding all year and ridiculous in the playoffs.

Finally, I caught the second half of the Warriors/Clippers game. Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan are simply too much down low. Blake was channeling his inner Tim Duncan knocking a few corner bank shots to add to his ridiculous and unstoppable low post game. Chris Paul started out slow but finished well and the Clippers were able to hold off the Warriors for the win. I love Steph Curry and Clay Thompson and their ability to shot the 3 and depending on who you ask Steph was fouled on his 3 at the end of the game but to me it was too little too late. I like this match-up because it’s really even. At this point I don’t know who will win it but I like how they are both playing.

Tonight the Rockets play the Blazers in a great match-up. Aldridge is playing out of his mind and if he keeps that up they’ll sweep the Rockets. The Wizards are a surprise being up 2 – 0 on the Bulls but the Bulls simply don’t have the offense to go deep without Rose. I’m not going to talk about the Nets vs Raptors as I’m just bored there. I won’t be watching any hockey but  this weekend has a bunch of great playoff games and I’ll be sure to catch as many of them as I can. Have a great weekend!
