Back To the Gloryland... Boston C's

Say no more. Boston C's return to the glory!

Boston C's actually beat the crap out of LA Lakers, as I predicted. Many so called ''NBA experts'' in Taiwan, for example, sucky NBA bloggers and sports channel broadcasters, said Lakers would win the title. Win my ass. You know, these people already suck in broadcasting basketball games and how can you expect them to predict the important events of NBA finals? Oh, that was really hilarious. That's why even I am watching finals live but still put the TV in mute.

However, except people I mentioned above were killjoys, I really enjoy the NBA finals, especially the very last game, Game 6 131-92. Even although I lost the sports lottery bet for NT 200 which I bet that Boston would win the game within a 6-10 points range but it didn't matter that Boston actually had a 39 points big winning. Boston's 39-point win surpassed the NBA record for the biggest margin of victory in a championship clincher. More is better. And Lakers didn't stand a chance.

Finally, Boston C's 17th championship title is done. After 22 long years, the NBA has gone green. I love this. Congrats, Boston Celtics. And Boston it is.

C's Grab 3-1 Series Lead. One Step to the Glory

Kick ass!! Celtics Storm Back, Take 3-1 Lead.

It's the most remarkable comeback in the NBA history. Facing a 21-point deficit at the end of the first quarter, it looked like the Celtics were all but done. I turned off the TV and went out to do my things. When I came back to the sport channel, C's was just trailed by 2. Then they kept going, folded the game with Ray Allen's blow past Sasha Vujacic for a layup with 16.4 seconds.

Boston rallied from a 24-point deficit and beat the Los Angeles Lakers 97-91. How amazing it is because I thought C's had lost the game at the start of the game. And they did it. They beat LA again. It's just a matter of time Boston Celtics go back to the glory.

I believe in them!

Kevin Garnett notched 16 points and 11 rebounds
Ray Allen scored 19 points and 9 rebounds.
Paul Pierce scored 20 points and 7 assists.

[Music] No Air

The best of duets lately.

Performed by Jordin Sparks ft. Chris Brown in Jordin's new single "No Air" (2008.)

[Jordin Sparks]
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air

If I should die before I wake
It's 'cause you took my breath away
Losing you is like living in a world with no air
Ohh

[Chris Brown]
I'm here alone, didn't wanna leave
My heart won't move, it's incomplete
wish there was a way that I can make you understand

[Jordin Sparks]
But how do you expect me
to live alone with just me
'Cause my world revolves around you
It's so hard for me to breathe

[Chorus:] [Both]
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
That´s how I feel whenever you ain't there
that's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gonna be without me
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
there's no air, no air

No air, air [ohhh]
No air, air [nooo]
No air, air [oh a]
No air, air

[Chris Brown]
I walked, I ran, I jumped, I flew
Right off the ground to float to you
There's no gravity to hold me down for real

[Jordin Sparks]
But somehow I'm still alive inside
You took my breath, but I survived
I don't know how, but I don't even care

[Both]
So how do you expect me
to live alone with just me
'Cause my world revolves around you
It's so hard for me to breathe

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
there's how I feel whenever you ain't there
there's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gonna be without me
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
there's no air, no air

No air, air [oohhh]
No air, air [oohhh]
No air, air [nooo]
No air, air [No more]
It's no air, no air

ohhhhh baby
ooohhhhh It's no air, no air
Hey [ohh] no aiiiiir [ohhh]
ooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
no breathing[no breathing]
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gonna be without me
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
It's no air, no air

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
it's no air no air
Got me out here in the water so deep

Tell me how you gonna be without me

If you ain't here, I just can't breathe

It's no air, no air
No air, air [ohhh]
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air

Dude, Stop hi5 Me

Since we are not at a basketball court, dude, stop hi5 me.

I set up my hi5 account about 3 years ago and I found it boring quite soon. I just put it aside and started a friendster (now also put aside with hi5) and now, facebook rocks. When I almost forgot the hi5 thing and then I got several hi5 invitations via emails recently. I may add some of them but the truth is, it's kind of annoying. It's somewhat ridiculous that hi5 has become popular in Taiwan lately because for me, it's a outmoded stuff. Especially when people don't put their info or photos up, they just add other friends on their mail list. What's good about that? I don't see any fun of that and I am tired of these inviting shit.

If you guys wanna meet on the web, please get rid of the OLD thing and just use facebook which has more fun features. Just stop hi5 me.

Two Wins in a Row!! Go Boston!!

Today, C's Head West Up 2-0! Boston Celtics beat the crap out of the LA Lakers. Although their biggest lead is 24 points, the 4th quarter got a almost comback from Lakers. Eventually, Celtics survives furious Laker rally.

Lots of experts predicted that Lakers will win the NBA championship this year. However, I don't agree with that. I am a Boston fan and I know how good they are. As long as the big three play fine, Boston will BEAT LA!

I predict that the finals will go 4-2 most. (I hope it's 4-0 though.) Celtics will get the title. And LA, they pack home.

GO BOSTON!!!

[Music] Hope

This hit ''Hope'' performed by Twista featuring Faith Evans is from Coach Carter, one of the best basketball movies ever. The movie is based on a true story. It also has lots of great quotes in this movie and I think they are somewhat aphorisms.

One of the best is that Coach Ken Carter loves to ask, ''What's your deepest fear?'' One of his player, Timo Cruz answers, ''Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.''

Another one I like is that Jason Lyle says to the coach and the team, ''You said we're a team. One person struggles, we all struggle. One person triumphs, we all triumph.''


Therefore, Adidas is right about this. Basketball is a brotherhood, man. I love it with all my heart.
