Time to Watch Some Serious Basketball...and NHL?!

The Final Four is finally here...well NBA style. Now the NBA Finals is the best series to be in because of what it holds but the best time to watch basketball is right now during the Conference Finals.

Spurs and the Lakers...oh my!

With the San Antonio showing why they are the defending champions against the dominating Hornets team, we now have a dream match-up of LA and SA. The last time the two teams played we were given the shot. The Lakers (with Malone, Kobe , Shaq and the Glove) went on to beat the Spurs but they lost to the Pistons. This is going to be a chance for the Lakers, who are favored by Vegas to represent the Western Conference, to go through the ultimate road block, the defending champions. This is going to be a series to remember and one that will really capture how great this NBA season really was. Lakers win this series in 6...yes on the road.

Celtics must win a road game

In the East every NBA fan got the match-up they wanted, Detroit vs. Boston. Now going into the playoffs I said the Pistons were overrated and that they have no shot in beating the Celtics. Well this thought has changed because of the Celtics lack of road basketball. I think this series will come down to the wire in most of the games and the Celtics will win one game in Boston. After going 0-6 on the road for the playoffs, the Celtics will finally win a road game in Detroit. In my opinion the Celtics are the more talented team and they will end up winning the series in 7. Look for Ray Allen to have a better series than he did against the LeBrons. Boston 4, Detroit 3.

Sid the Kid

I'm not a hockey guy by any means but I know a good thing when I see it. Sidney Crosby is something we should all be watching. I know this is obvious but this kid is special. He is the great one for the NHL. He is what the NHL is building around and he is someone we should all watch even if we don't watch hockey. Now you're probably wondering, "hockey isn't on TV." Well the Stanley Cup Finals WILL be on NBA starting with Game 3. It's stupid stuff like this that ruins potential NHL fans. The Stanley Cup Finals game 1 and game 2 will be on Versus Network! That is ridiculous. The NHL will never attract any new fans if they don't out the Stanley Cup Finals on network TV or even basic cable. Just bite the bullet and go to a sports bar for games 1 and 2. Here is a quick Sidney Crosby highlight video.
