Finally, the playoffs begin!

This year, the Houston Rockets are playing the Portland Trail Blazers in the first round, all I can say is thank God it is not the Utah Jazz! I am not knocking the Blazers, they are a great team, what I am saying is, I am tired of the Jazz! It seems like Utah and Houston are always battling in the first round, and, unfortunately, Houston usually loses!

Anyone that watches much basketball, knows that there are just some teams that beat certain teams, even if that team is better. Look at the Houston Oilers vs the Dallas Cowboys, even when Dallas was kicking but and taking names way back when, the Oilers, who may have only won 2 or 3 games the whole season, always seemed to beat Dallas in the Texas Bowl or whatever it is called, I don’t remember, but you get my point.

This year, that Utah curse (excuse) or whatever you want to call it, will not be the reason Houston doesn’t get out of the first round! I have to say, I like Houston’s chances against Portland, I mean, how long has it benn since Portland was even in the playoffs?

This year is going to be a battle in Texas, with the Sant Antonio Spurs and the Dallas Mavericks meeting up in the first round, this is going to be awesome! I have to say, I believe tha the Rockets took a dive against Dallas in the 4th quarter of that last game, just to have a better chance against Portland in the first round, what do you think?

What about Tracy McGrady? Won’t it be a bit awkward if Houston wins the finals? With T-Mac, they coudn’t even get out of the first round, with him sitting at home, they are doing great. I would be willing to bet that if Houston wins, they will trade T-Mac for someone that is not such a crybaby, seems like he always has some sort of booboo that keeps him complaining and making excuses for a poor performance, but hey, that is just my opinion.

I have to admit, when they traded off Steve Francis, I almost disowned the Rockets! He was an important part of the “Team”, no, he may not have been the best point guard, but, he was a team player and gave it everything he had, each and every game! My personal view on “Teams” is that you don’t just get rid of someone like you were trading off bubble gum cards! A Team is just that, the more cohesiveness you have, the more confidence you have, and the players aren’t afraid to play hard and make a mistake, it is that that has kept San Antonio ruling the NBA for years, after all, look what happened to the Lakers when they got rid of Shaq!

Anybody disagree? Post a comment and tell me about it!

New Cigarrete Tax: Who is getting hurt?

Taxes only on the Wealthy, yeah right! It is well known that the “less fortunate” are the ones that smoke the most cigarettes, so increasing the tax on them is hurting the very people that the lier of all liers, comrade Obama, had promissed would not get a tax increase. Follow this link to see how much extra you will be paying. (at the bottom of the page)

Here is a video on the subject

I personally don’t smoke, I used to a long time ago, but I am sure that everyone knows people who will be affected by this. Here is where I get confused, this is to fund SCHIP? Ok, kids need health care, but, did you have insurance when you were a kid? I didn’t, and I still grew up!

I am sorry, I am just jealous I guess. Maybe it is the thought of an even larger government? Maybe it is the government control? Maybe it is that feeling of looming oppression? I just wonder what is going to get taxed next, air? I am sorry if I sound bitter, but I believe that we each have to sink or swim on our own, yes, those that have VALID disabilities, or are really old, do need help, but it should come from a local resource, starting with the family and moving outwards to friends, then to the community, but keep government out of it, if you get something from the government, there are always strings attached, like new taxes!

Just so that you know, Glenn Beck is going to a Tea Party in San Antonio, that place is going to get packed! If you are in the area, make sure that you show up, I’ll be that fat guy with a tie dye! Hope to see you there!

Chris Paul Beats San Antonio

Have you ever seen a guy like this? Chris Paul, broke records, and took his team, the New Orleans Hornets, a team that may not have even existed a while back, to beat one of the best teams in the NBA! OK, San Antonio isn’t what they were, but, they are still the Spurs! For a while, it looked like the Spurs were going to win, but they went cold as ice and could not make a shot! The Final score was 90-83, not a high scoring game, but a very good one!

Now, for the Opinionated stuff, well, this game had good, consistant officiation, no swings one way then the other, you know why? The Rockets were not playing! This was a great game, thanks officials! That is all anybody could ever ask for, fairness, another word for that is consistancy, keep it up!
