2008 NBA Playoffs Round 2: SPURS vs HORNETS 2-3


To be honest? Regarding Game 6 tomorrow between the San Antonio SPURS vs. the New Orleans Hornets, I am really, really, scared.

I am praying that the Spurs will win this so that there will be a Game 7. If not, well, my heart will only be something short of shattered. I wish from the bottom of my already have broken heart that they will win. I wish and pray that they will push towards the Conference Finals and then all the way into the real deal NBA Finals 2008.

Chances are, of course, quite slim. Although there is still some hope. But if you take into consideration that they have never won a Championship title in succession is quite a statistic. Should they win it this time, of course, it will make waves. So, I’m down on my knees, praying to dear God to please, please, please, let them win!

If only I could watch the games as well. It seems that in every Playoff that I cannot watch, they lose the Championship. I’ve been taking notice of it! Or perhaps that is just me. ;) At any rate, I still do keep refreshing the page of NBA.com to see how the scores are going. But it is quite different when you actually see it for your own eyes, screaming your lungs out, kicking and shoving Dhirrac in sheer support of the Spurs. Yeah, I get that way when I watch basketball.

Oh, dear, they just need to win.. they just have to!

2008 NBA Playoffs: San Antonio SPURS vs. Phoenix SUNS [GAME 1]


I posted a rather detailed entry over at http://neverdainty.blogspot.com about Game 1 of the match between the SPURS and the SUNS. [GO, SPURS! GO!!!]

Of course, the SPURS won. Why wouldn’t they? hehe.. But I have to be honest, I was really, really nervous about the whole enchilada. Even before the start of the 2008 NBA Playoffs, I was anxious regarding who the SPURS might end up facing on round one. And like all the things I get nervous with, my worst fears came true, and they were again face-to-face with the revenge-hungry SUNS.

Too bad I did not get to see the game LIVE. It would have been really nice. But somehow our Cable providers took away StarSports and the Basketball channel, leaving me with Balls [i hate this channel, sorry]. So anyway, news and highlights and some replays are all I get. *sigh* But I am still so happy.

The San Antonio SPURS won the game in a double overtime with 117-115. Tim Duncan had 40 points, Tony Parker with 26, and my ever beloved Manu Ginobili with 24. Way to go, big three! And good luck on Game 2!


You might as well expect me to talk about the 2008 NBA Playoffs  -  about the SPURS, especially, as long as it is the Playoffs season! P

Let’s PLAY BALL!!!!!
