Quick Hits on the Week

Due to giving everyone a week off, we did not have a show this morning! Next week will be the final edition of the Tuesday Morning Longhorn Roundup with myself. Next week's show will be a recap of my three years at KVRX and UT featuring all of my past co-hosts and memorable stories.

NBA Playoffs

• Dallas up against the ropes! I would love to see the Dallas Mavericks and their crying owner get knocked out in the first round after posting a franchise, and NBA, best season. Dirk is not the MVP of the NBA and this series shows it. No MVP disappears in a first round series. We talked about this on the show and said that Golden State will give the Mavs troubles but never thought they would knock them out with such ease.
  
• Kobe vs. Nash...even though the Lakers will get knocked out, it has been fun seeing Nash and Kobe go at it once again. These two show what MVPs do. Kobe has tried to rally his team even with limited talent. Nash dishes out what seems like 900 assists a game and keeps playing exceptional basketball.
  
• Rockets on the Road...T-mac finally put the series on his shoulders, but at home. Tracy needs to play his best basketball at Utah and not shoot 30%. The combo of Tracy and Yao is like a poor man's Kobe and Shaq but it is getting the job done. If Gundy can rally his bench and get this team going, they could get to the Conf. Finals.
  
• Eastern Conference Sweeps...the Southeast goes 0-12 in the playoffs and shows why the Central is such a strong division. The Eastern Conf. is a one way road to good basketball! Cavs vs. Nets and Bulls (my pick to make it to the NBA Finals) vs. the Pistons!
  

NFL Draft

• 7 Longhorns get drafted and it seems like UT is now the new defensive back school! Mack can def. bring in the best talent and show them that they will get drafted.
  
• The Texans draft another D-line. Amobi Okoye should be a good fit in the system but at the same time can go the roads of Travis "Mr.T" Johnson. No one will remember this draft for the Texans, they will still talk about last year and the passing of Young.
  
• The Patriots become win hungry...who would have thought the Patriots would draft and trade on talent and not character? Are they going down the slow path of being just another team that will do anything to win? I think Moss will fit in just fine with the Patriots and Meriweather will not stomp on any other helmets.
  
• The Draft is boring...I could not watch the draft. Maybe I'm not one of the millions who wants an early Christmas. I think the NFL draft is long and boring. Please, make your first round picks and leave me alone. Don't force 100 rounds down my throat.
