Hello,
Wow, that was a big time clutch three pointer by Ray Allen with 5.2 seconds left in the game. It's for shots like that that he was brought to Miami. Even if he had done nothing else the rest of the season, he earned his paycheck with that one shot. That was also a big time offensive rebound by Chris Bosh.
It's time for people to give LeBron James his due. He had a triple double last night in a game where there was a chance for his team to be eliminated.
The Heat rallied to the victory in part due to their 19-7 run at the start of the 4th quarter. Not only is it time to give James his due, it's time to give the Heat their due. This is their third straight NBA Finals and as of tomorrow, their second straight title.
I'm also calling it now. The Heat will win Game 7 and I predict they are going to win big.
If you still want to harp on someone, harp on two players who are actually over rated. The first is Dwight Howard, who people want for some reason. Although he desperately needs to practice his foul shooting, I'm sure that's the last thing on his mind right now. The second is Carmelo Anthony, a man that puts self before team. Neither player will ever win a NBA title as a key player.
The Dodgers right now are playing a day/night doubleheader against long time rival Yankees. The games are being played in the Bronx. The first game pitching matchup is Hyun-Jin Ryu vs. Hiroki Kuroda. Kuroda is a former Dodger, a player I wish they wouldn't have let get away.
The Dodgers had Monday off and the suppose to be first game in this series yesterday was postponed due to rain. Due to that, and their anemic offense, the Dodgers have slid to 29th place in runs scored. They now trail the Nationals by 3 runs and the White Sox by 6 runs. With two games today, can the Dodgers move up the list. It's a good thing that the Astros have a Triple A roster, or it's quite likely that the Dodgers would be last place in runs scored right now.
I find the start of the first game today to be very instructive. Nick Punto is the leadoff hitter today, he grounded out in his first at bat. Yasiel Puig, now hitting .490, then had a hit in the 1st inning. He was thrown out at second base as he was trying to stretch the hit into a double. Adrian Gonzalez then was next up and he grounded to shortstop. Gonzalez's batting average continues to drop, he's now hitting a still very good .302 though. That inning serves as a great metaphor for the whole Dodgers season.
