Davis' first blog post

Jacover has been kind enough to open up the Bri Blog for outsiders(me and Aric). He may come to regret this decision. But either way here goes.

Big Bulls-Hawks game 3 tonight. Not a must win for the Bulls. But I'm not a believer in ATL so if they get down 2-1 in the series i feel really good about the Bulls chances. Game 1 defense was not up to par but game 2 looked a little more like Bulls fans have become accustomed to this year. I expect strong performance from the Bulls tonight in taking a 2-1 series lead. And maybe even Brian's favorite player, Boozer, will show up with a strong double-double.

Other series in the NBA we have a big surprise in Dallas up 2-0 on the Lakers after two games in LA. I dont think anyone would have expected this. Maybe a split like NOLA got in LA but two games? No way. And now Artest is suspended for game 3(he did win the league citizenship award after all). Things are looking really good for Dallas. But if Kobe and the Lakers can steal game 3, i wouldnt count them out. Obviously if they lose game 3, its over. Might be good for the league if the west can get some new blood like OKC or Dallas in the finals. I know Dallas made it a few years ago but that seems like ages.

Miami has looked great in beating Boston the first two games. The series has shifted to Boston in a must win for the Celtics. Miami to me has been the team to beat for quite awhile(even dating back to whipping the Lakers twice in the regular season). Even though they didnt get the top seed in the east, they have arguably the two best players in a league where individual talent goes a long way in determining success. As much as I despise them and their pathetic fans, they are the clear favorite. Boston might win a few in this series but I dont think the Heat are intimidated by them they way they looked in the first three regular season meetings between these two teams. In those games it looked like Boston was toying with them. But James and Wade are on their game right now and that does not bode well for the rest of the league. Here's to hoping Boston and/or eventually Chicago have something to say about that.
