IHH Sports: Lakers vs Celtics And The NBA Playoffs

So after a tremulous NBA season The Lakers will meet the Celtics in the NBA finals. It Feels like its 1990 again. Now far be it from me to tell ya’ll I told you so, But I told you so, lol. These teams seemed destined to play each other this year.

The Lakers led by season MVP Kobe Bryant, ran through the NBA playoffs like a house fire.

In each series they played they were favorites. They swept the Allen Iverson – Carmelo Anthony led Nuggets, Then defeated a very good Utah Jazz team in six games. Then the only match up where sports analyst thought the Lakers would struggle they managed to defeat the defending world champion San Antonio Spurs.

The Celtics took a very different path to the NBA finals.

After surviving a grueling seven game series with the upstart Atlanta Hawks, The Celtics Faced the Defending eastern conference Champions the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Lebron James, Cleveland Cavaliers.

It took another series deciding games seven, and what will surely go down as one of the greatest playoff performances in Celtic history, Oakland’s own Paul Pierce, out dueled Lebron and cored 41 points and led HIS Celtics to the eastern Conference finals. Pierce, who has only played for the Celtics in his 10 year career, would say later “it was a game for the ages.”

Next came the Detroit Pistons, who for the last couple of seasons have been the benchmark of excellence for the eastern conference. The Celtics up to this point have been undefeated at home during these playoffs. It was the Detroit Pistons who handed them their first taste of defeat. However, The Celtics as good as they were during the regular season, we unable to win any road games during the playoffs. Until game three in Detroit. The Celtics walked away with an 94 – 80 point victory and a series lead of 2 games to 1. after trading victories, the Celtics managed to close out the series back in Detroit, ending the series in six games.

So now we have an NBA finals match up of The Lakers vs The Celtics. The match up that many of us grew up watching as kids is revisited, But no Magic vs Bird, But Kobe vs Paul. The two winningest franchises in NBA history match up for the eleventh time for the championship. With in the week leading up to game one, I’m sure you will see the advertisements, evoking the memories of Celtic and Lakers Finals of the past.

The NBA will have a field day with all this nostalgia. who knows you may even see a throwback or two. Me being from California, I think I have a Magic Johnson throwback in my closet.

Game one starts Thursday June 5 at 8:30 on ABC

The Game Says Ne-Yo Is His Nate Dogg

In a recent interview with MTV, The Game talked about his new album “L.A.X.” and how Ne-Yo is his Nate Dogg.

Ne-Yo appears twice on The Game’s new album “L.A.X.” on the songs “Camera Phone” and “Thug and a Gentleman”.

“I came up with a couple of concepts,” Game said. “Two times in a row, he outwrote on my hooks. They became Ne-Yo hooks. … Ne-Yo is like my Nate Dogg right now.”

The Game also touches on being briefly incarcerated earlier this year and said that correctional officers were purposely making him uncomfortable.

“They was doing all kinds of crazy stuff,” the MC said recently in New York. “They were playing G-Unit songs through the intercom while I was asleep. They was playing ‘Window Shopper’ just to irritate me. First couple of days, I was getting irritated and pissed off. But then it started to set in that this is a big game to them and they just kids, and they don’t really understand life yet. It was funny after a while. It wasn’t funny the first couple of times, though.”

The Game says “L.A.X.” is the first record where he “was able to record a studio album in peace — without drama, without anything rendering me helpless, without having to fight with my label or 50.”

The Game’s new album “L.A.X.” is in stores July 8.

Death Row Records Auctioned Off To Highest Bidder

According to court documents obtained by TMZ.com, the label once owned and operated by Suge Knight has been placed on the auction block and will go to the highest bidder on June 24.

The documents state that “all of the recorded music business assets of the estate, along with substantially all of the music publishing business assets of … Marion ‘Suge’ Knight” are what are for sale.

Some of the music and rights that are included will be works of Tupac Shakur, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre and the Dogg Pound.

The minimum starting bid is $24 million.

Any parties who wish to put in a bid are required to do so before the deadline of June 10th.

Knight lost control of the label in July 2006 after long-winded legal battle over the estate after he a judge awarded a couple, claiming to have fronted the seed money to start the label, $107 million.

The sale of Death Row was to begin in late 2007, but was halted when Dr. Dre and Afeni Shakur filed suits over the rights of past recordings of Dre’s solo debut, The Chronic, and several of Tupac’s music. It is unclear how these suits have been handled since, but the auction has commenced.

(L note: wouldn’t it be crazy if Dre bought The Row, or maybe even Snoop. My bet is some business man will swoop in and buy it. The we can forward to hearing out favorite artist songs being used to sell. Picture this a family sitting down at a table, trying to decide what to do for dinner, when the daughter suggest they “Toss it up” and ‘Pac’s song starts playing. SMH, Dre just buy the damn company)
