“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

As a sports fan I was praying for the Indiana Pacers to get beat in game #7 against the Miami Heat. You know that real basketball fans did not want to see two BORING teams in the NBA Finals. I love basketball but I did not want to see those two teams in the Finals.

And you can bet your bottom dollar that out going David Stern did not want that match up too. Most fans are happy that the matchup is the Heat and Spurs in the Finals. Two big threes. One on the Heat and one on the Spurs. 37 year old Tim Duncan is playing like he is 27. Hell he made the All NBA first team this year at at 37! That’s unreal and it shows how great Duncan is. He is one of the greatest players of all time. A first team Hall of Famer for sure!

And Tony Parker is ballin. He is someone the Heat has to control if they plan on winning. Lebron James may have to watch Parker at times during the series. That will be interesting. 6-8 James watching 6-1 Parker. But guess what? If any 6-8 player can watch a “little guy” like Parker it is James. James is a freak of nature. The guy is 6-8 and around 260 and is ultra quick. Quick as a cat.  The cat is unreal. We all know that sports fans.

I love the game of basketball and the NBA. I hate it when “Inside The NBA” has it’s last program of the year with EJ, Kenny, Shaq and Charles. It is the best studio sports show by far on TV. It is funny and great and Emmy winning. Wish they were on the air to discuss the Finals. It would be interesting to hear the fellas comments on Chris Bosh and his lack of a game in the playoffs and D-Wade’s off and on play.

What will Ginobili do in the playoffs because his game has been on and off too. Who will watch James on the Spurs most of the time. What will Ray Allen do? One thing for sure I don’t like the 2-3-2 format. But anyway let’s get started with the Finals. It should be a great series.

Spurs win game #1 92-88. Watch “Sports Inner City TV” below for comments on the game.
