Starting Five

1. Yanks and Sox- Best rivalry in sports right now, period. Pete: "I think Papelbon might be an evil robot." Me: "Yeah, I don't know if I should cry or laugh with that death stare of his."

2. AI+Melo=Killaduo- They looked pretty strong in their game 1 victory and they are definitely the more talented team. We shall see if they can keep their composure. Magic took the Nuggets in this series and Charles said if they played together all season they probably would be a 2 or 3 seed. I don't know about that, but I like it Charles.

3. B. Diddy is back!- I watched the second half of the Warriors-Mavs game and it was nuts! The Warriors have a extra small line up with 6'9" Al Harrington playing center and they just run. They play a similar style to the Suns, but wilder. Baron Davis looks like he did a few years ago with his vicious cross-overs and powerful drives to the basket. He is also rocking the realest beard since Freeway. They probably won't upset the Mavs, but it will be fun to watch them try.

4. Timing is Everything- In looking over the box scores from the NBA games this weekend, New Jersey and Chicago were the only teams to win and have more than 7 players with more than 10 minutes. Washington was the only team to lose and play 7 players for more than 10 minutes. With the spaced out scheduling of the playoffs shallower teams can run their top players longer and harder.

5. Summertime- It is waterice season. There is no better hot weather treat. Mango and Strawberry lemonade gelati please.

the yanks/sox has only gotten better...it doesn't even matter that they play 19 times a year, they're all intense.
