Heatin' It Up

Granted I'm not the most knowledgable or passionate NBA fan in the world, or even on this staff, but one thing I know for sure is that LeBron James is truly unstoppable. The way he has been closing out games and the suffocating D he played on Rose was unbelievable. I feel all LeBron critics have been silenced.

It's amazing how much more dominant LeBron has been than Dwyane Wade during these playoffs. While Wade is trying to do his best Tim Duncan impression and kissing all of his shots off the glass and turning the ball over at a rate that even Stephon Marbury would be proud, LeBron has been taking the ball to the rim, getting fouled, hitting foul shots, making big 3s, and stiffling anyone he guards.

The Heat were Wade's team. LeBron was brought in to help bring another few titles to Miami. Now it is LeBron's team. His passion and determination can't be matched on the Heat. He never sits, he's always on the court. They need him on the court. Wade, not so much. Other than a solid OT performance in game 4, he has been rather quiet, and at times a detriment to the squad. I'm sure Wade will turn it around for the Finals, but at this moment he isn't even close to being in the same realm as The King. In fact, right now, the Big-3 should be ranked in this order: James, LeBron; Bosh, Chris; Wade, Dwyane.

That's all I have to say about the NBA.

I can't decide which NHL matchup I would rather see: Vancouver v. Boston, or Vancouver v. Tampa Bay.

Both series would be fun to watch. Think how many goals would be scored in a Canucks/Lightning series. Think how fun it would be to watch Big Fat Tim Thomas flopping around with all the weapons that exist for Vancouver.

Boston is a way bigger market for hockey than Tampa and could be good for the game, but casual fans like goals, and the Lighting can provide that. Either way it should be fun.

When hockey and basketball are finished it will be time for a real sport to begin. That sport is The Real World/Road Rules Challenge: Rivals. Bitter rivals from previous seasons will team up with each other. No one else. Just two people that despise the other. Plus we get C.T. back. Who knows what he will do this time. All the fun begins June 22 only on MTV.
