NBA Update : Eastern Conference finals

The NBA Eastern Conference Finals between the Detroit Pistons and the Cleveland Cavaliers has turned out to be very interesting. And I was deeply impressed by Lebron James’ memorable performance.

Cleveland is now leading the Best-of-Seven series, 3 games to 2. Although the Pistons are one of my favorite teams, I think that the Cavs could put off a major upset here.

The winner of the series will take on Tim Duncan and the San Antonio Spurs, the reigning Western Conference champs, for the NBA Finals championship series.

Ginebra Gin Kings – PBA Philippine Cup champions

If you’re a Barangay Ginebra fan like me, then you’ll be absolutely delighted to know that the Barangay Ginebra Gin Kings bagged the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Philippine Cup last night via a thrilling, 96-94, come-from-behind victory over the San Miguel Beermen at the famed Araneta Coliseum.

Ginebra fell behind 0-2 early in the series, but they would win their next four games, with games 3 and 4 being blowouts. This makes Ginebra only the fifth PBA team to win the title after losing their first two games. Ginebra point guard Jayjay Helterbrand was adjudged Finals MVP, while Mark Caguioa won the Best Player of the Conference plum.

To coach Jong Uichico and the entire Ginebra team, congratulations! :)

White hot Heat!

Congratulations to the Miami Heat for winning the 2006 NBA Finals!

Since both teams are my favorites (along with Phoenix), it doesn’t really matter to me whichever team wins. Although my preference shifted a little bit towards Miami’s way since I wanted its veterans, Payton, Mourning, Williams, Walker, Anderson, and the rest, to finally win one. They should have won it last year.

I am a big Shaq and Dwyane Wade fan. D-Wade was totally awesome! He’s a certified superstar, there’s no doubt about that. And he deserves to win the NBA Finals MVP plum. Shaq and Riley have really been great influences. 15 strong does it! Wooooooooooooooooott!!!

To Nowitzki and the rest of the Mavs, you have every reason to hold your heads up high. It was a wonderful series. And besides, there’s always next year! Way to go coach Johnson! And way to go Mark Cuban! :)
