Ahh the almighty first post. I hope that usually it won't be this late in the day for me everyday, but I feel it will seeing that I am trying to graduate and make the last few weeks of class, even though I really hate it. That being said, let's get into it...

• As my colleague has already blogged, Monday means that Game Ones in the NBA Playoffs are now over. Some thoughts--the #1 seeds should sweep. They both looked as if they were toying with their opponents, hanging meat over their heads by a string, "puppeteering" with them if you will. The Sixers win was a surprise, saying that it wasn't is untrue and somewhat pompous of people to say, especially before the series even started. I thought the Rockets and Nuggets blowing out their opponents was the biggest surprise of the weekend, apart from the Baby Bulls. And of course, the MAVS winning was not a surprise, upset, or any word within that realm, it was simply right, correct, accurate, and shows that some things in sports do happen the way they are supposed to happen. As far as players, Derrick Rose showed he is here to stay. I watched the whole game and he was incredible. I just can't figure out if he really is that poised and calm, or just plain dumb, his post-game interview pointed to the latter, but who knows? Iguodala was also incredible, that was a very well-contested, tough shot to hit to win that game, an away game at that.
• Shout out to Ian Kinsler, 6-6 with the cycle, first time since 1894?! Impressive. I follow baseball more loosely than any other of the big 3 sports, but he is on the Rangers, so props. And also to the new red jerseys, I need to get a new red "T" fitted now.
• Anquan Boldin to the Eagles? Scary. Very scary. Now this is a developing, and not very serious proposal AT THIS point, but who knows with the NFL? The Redskins will probably take him and give him 97 billion dollars. 85 out too? Who wants Ocho Cinco? I tell you what, I'm done with intramural flag football, there's a spot on my team Chad? Those, however, are pretty big shoes to fill....
• Mike Brown, Coach of the Year, see my brother's post, enough said.
• Let's get back to my team, the Mavs, everyone says that Josh Howard is the X factor. I wouldn't say that I necessarily disagree with that statement, I just think that our PG's are more important than anything that Howard can do. Stopping Tony Parker...no let me rephrase...containing Tony Parker, should be the #1 priority of the Mavs. Holding him to 20 and 10 will allow the Mavs to contain the Spurs defensively. Kidd is used to playing defensive stopper (whether or not he executes that role is up for debate) so that is no wear and tear on his part, he will still put up 10-10-10. I'm making a prediction, WHEN the Mavs win this series, they will meet the Lakers in the WCF.

That's all I got for today. I'm not sure how this whole site works, but feedback is highly welcomed. Shout out to FW. Love you.

Holla back young'n
