So day 2 in of the operation and we're chugging along here like a well oiled machine at Team Hoopennium. If I had a whole bunch of ducks, I'd be putting them in a row right now (ducks in a row). Thats where we're at. Organizing everything, getting everything set for our big June push. To give you a reminder of ways to get in touch with Hoopennium:

Now some quick thoughts from the Cavs/Magic Game 5.
-The Magic are just the better team in this series. I think they will win Game 6. Their baskets just come much easier. A high pick and roll, and two passes and they have wide open three for Alston or Lewis or Lee or Pietrus. It's pretty much that easy. If the three is not there..you have the Cavs scrambling in rotation and the Magic then have drive and kick opportunities. Also on the roll Dwight or Gortat are able to get good positioning for weak side O-Rebounds.
-Is Hedo one of the best 6-10 creators off the Pick and Roll ever? He gets pretty much whatever he wants off it each time it seems. He's a threat to shoot from deep and he's deceptive on his drives to the hoop in a way in which Ginobili was. Taking angled strides to the basket. Plus his height gives him the vision advantage and it allows him to throw over the top of the defense.
-Who's more important to the Cavs success, Delonte West or Mo Williams? Williams is the all-star guard and probably the obvious choice. But upon further review, West has taken a game deciding shot in Game 1 already (which he missed but still trusted to take) and seems more of a crunch time guy. Plus he's covering Hedo freaking Turkoglu for stretches! He's giving up close to seven inches in that matchup! And doing a good job at it by the way.
-Lebron James is absolutely unstoppable when moving with a full head of steam, especially in transition. Reminds of this one clip of Charles Barkley barreling coast to coast, except he's bigger, stronger and faster. And more agile. And a better leaper. And a stronger finisher. And has better handle. Yeah he's pretty good. Can't the Cavs get some sets where Lebrons receiving a dribble hand-off off of a curl or something? To generate some of that forward motion for him?
- Big Z looks like he's playing with cement blocks as sneakers. He looks much slower than normal. Wonder if those puppies are acting up again like in the old days. Oh yeah well that and the fact that he's also covering a guy nicknamed "Superman".
- Either way, we're all winners here because this series has been entertaining. Despite people's thoughts on the fouls which there has been too many. But I've still had a lot of enjoyment watching and hope it goes seven.
-On a lighter note, how many Millers can be in one broadcast. I really really hope two is the limit. Reg or Cheryl hopefully don't have any sons or daughters on the way. I hope not.
Ok so thats all for tonight. Keep your eye out for updates. Enjoy Lakers Nuggets. Holla, 1000 hours baby, Can it be done???
