Before we get going on this, let us all take a moment to bow our heads and pray to the Dunx God Taj Gibson. The man turned us all into in to giggling schoolgirls with his two monster throw downs. We don’t want to anger him.
-Apparently the Bulls sweeping the Heat 3-0 during the regular season wasn’t just an aberration. After playing two quarters of nip and tuck hoops, the Bulls flat out took it to Miami, outscoring them 55-34 in the final half to take a 103-82 victory in game one of the Eastern Conference Finals.
-Kevin Durant had a bad start to yesterday’s deciding game seven against the Grizz. After seeing his mother dancing in the stands between the first and second quarters, the two time defending scoring champ went off, eventually dropping in 39 points. The Thunder won 105-90, sending the franchise to their first Western Conference Finals since 1996 when Detlef Schrempf and Hersey Hawkins let them to the NBA Finals. Also of note, Russell Westbrook had a triple-double which is apparently a big deal in game sevens. Who knew?
-Brooms out! The Sawx swept the Yankees in the Bronx for the first time in over seven years when playing a series longer than two games. .500 is now where Boston sits after a dismal start, while the Yankees are going down faster than a sorority sister, dropping 8 out of their last 11. The deciding run came after Alex Rodriguez let an easy groundball coast under between his legs in the 8th inning which gave Boston a 6-4 advantage.
-Speaking of New York, Jorge Posada apologized for his actions the day after he asked out of the lineup following a demotion to the pitcher’s spot nine hole. He said his actions came out of frustration, understandable when you’re hitting a robust .165.
-Oh, Canada! Jose Bautista cranked three roundtrippers as the Blue Jays took the struggling Twins to the woodshed, 11-3. The Toronto slugger drove in four runs as the Blue Jays also hit the .500 mark. Is the AL East that good where everyone beats everyone? Or is the division just overrated?
-Two goals in the third period helped lift the Vancouver Canucks over the San Jose Sharks in game one of the Western Conference Finals. The win will help soothe the souls of fans north of the border following the Grizzlies’ loss.
-Ballsy. That is how you would describe Matt Kenseth’s call to take only two tires on the final pit stop. Smart is another word. Kenseth led the last 32 laps to take the checkered flag before anyone else at yesterday’s FedEx 400 in Dover, Delaware. With the points system in place, the win all but assures Kenseth a spot in the Chase for the Cup.
-Charles Oakley, the man who protected Michael Jordan and still scares the living shit out of everyone, is suing the MGM Resort in Sin City after apparently being beaten by security. If true, this jars a lot of childhood memories.
