WWE is moving to LA (from Denver), just because the Nuggets are still in the Playoffs

VS


WORLD WRESTLING ENTERTAINMENT
vs
DENVER NUGGETS

What is the WWE thinking right now?? WWE was supposed to have Monday Night Raw in the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado. But since the Denver Nuggets host Game 4 vs the Los Angeles Lakers on the same day and time as the WWE Raw event in Denver. The WWE announced they would move their programming for the week (Raw, SmackDown!, and ECW) to the Staples Center in Los Angeles (Home of the Lakers). As the WWE were literally "booted out" of Pepsi Center by the orders of Denver Nuggets' owner Mr. Kronke. For the Nuggets, they won Game 4 vs the Lakers 120-101 as J.R. Smith and Chauncey Billups scored 24 points each, as the Western Conference Finals is tied at 2-2. For the WWE, they moved RAW to L.A., and in one TV skit, they did a spoof of David Stern, Jerry Buss (Lakers owner), and Mr. Kronke (Nuggets owner) literally showing support for the Lakers.

"Note: If the Rockets faced the Nuggets, the Raw event would not disrupt the Western Conference Finals since Game 4 would be in Houston."

2009 NBA Playoffs : Conference Finals + Rockets 2009 season review

From the 8 teams that started Round 2, only four teams remain (2 on each conference) as the Conference Finals starts. The winner of each conference finals will have the right to represent their conference in the 2009 NBA Finals this June. Games will be very tough on each side as every team will be working hard as teams try to advance to the NBA Finals and give their franchise a chance to be crowned the 2009 NBA Champions.

So here are the matchups for the Conference Finals:

1 LOS ANGELES LAKERS
1 Round 1: def. UTAH (4-1), Round 2: def. HOU (4-3)
2 DENVER NUGGETS
2 Round 1: def. NO (4-1), Round 2: def. DAL (4-1)
SEASON SERIES: LAL (3-1)



1 CLEVELAND CAVALIERS
1 Round 1: def. DET (4-0), Round 2: def. ATL (4-0)
3 ORLANDO MAGIC
3 Round 1: def. PHI (4-2), Round 2: def. BOS (4-3)
SEASON SERIES: ORL (2-1)


My reaction to the conference finals matchups is that I am looking forward to what will happen in the Conference Finals on both sides. The Battle for the West between the Lakers and Nuggets is going to be a good matchup as Kobe & Co. will face off against 'Melo & Co. for a shot at the NBA Championship. I'm wondering if the Nuggets can use the extra rest they had in the 2nd round to their advantage against the Lakers who went to a Game 7 and won against an injury depleted Rockets team who did not have Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady playing. We'll see if Denver can keep this tremendous pace there enjoying. This is Denver's first time in the Western Conference Finals since 1985 when they also faced the Lakers, but lost in 5 games. But don't count the Lakers out since they still are a huge power in the West. Meanwhile in the Battle of the East between the Cavaliers and Magic. I am undecided since Cleveland has been cruising in this playoffs, sweeping their first 2 opponents in the playoffs, while the Magic knocked off the defending champion Celtics in Round 2, the momentum I think will favor the Magic since they knocked off the Celtics and they are back in the Eastern Conference Finals since 1996, but the Cavaliers have a powerful lineup led by LeBron James, the Magic have an answer vs LeBron as they are led by the highflying and shotblocking "man-child" Dwight Howard. Although I am undecided in this series, it's sure going to be a good series between this two powerful teams in the Eastern Conference as they fight for a shot at the 2009 NBA Finals.

Once again, the big question is:
WHERE WILL AMAZING HAPPEN THIS YEAR?
WITH BOSTON OUT, WHO WILL BE THE NEW NBA CHAMPION?

As for my beloved Houston Rockets, this has been a great season. Despite losing Game 7, the Rockets can be considered as winners, despite the many setbacks and injuries that have plagued the team all-season long (especially to T-Mac before the playoffs and Yao during Round 2). The Rockets were able to get out of the first round, and put the defending Western Conference Champion Lakers on the brink of elimination before eventually falling in Game 7. But the injuries to Yao and T-Mac had it's silver lining on the Rockets (besides the big three of Yao, T-Mac and Ron) as guys like Aaron Brooks, Shane Battier, Luis Scola, Carl Landry, Von Wafer, Kyle Lowry, Chuck Hayes, and the other Rockets picked up a lot of playoff experience that will be used on future playoff runs. I am now looking forward to a healthy Yao and T-Mac and a rejuvenated Rockets next season, and will be making a much deeper playoff run than this year. Maybe they can come out the NBA Champions next year, but anything can happen in the NBA.

Once again, I disabled replies on this blog. Haha.. so spammers and critics will never be heard..

LET'S GO ROCKETS!

WHAT AN ALL-STAR GAME!

Despite the classes, we were still able to watch the 2009 NBA All-Star Game in our classroom...

I really love the part when Shaquille O'Neal came in, and he dance with JabbaWockeeZ... I love his style of entertaining the fans...

I'm happy right now, because the WEST won against the EAST by the score of 146-119... Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal both won the All-Star Game MVP. I was a little bit dissapointed because the only Houston Rocket in the All-Star Game, which was Yao Ming only had 2 points and 3 rebounds..

Here's a little trivia for all:
Since 2006, the conference who wins the All-Star Game will be the champions in the NBA Finals:
2006 -
EAST def. WEST, Champions: Miami Heat (EAST)
2007 -
WEST def. EAST, Champions: San Antonio Spurs (WEST)
2008 -
EAST def. WEST, Champions: Boston Celtics (EAST)
2009 -
WEST def. EAST, Champions: ?!? We'll find out this June..

OVERALL, This has been a great All-Star Weekend!

THE
WEST WIN!
