Father Time Still Undefeated

The San Antonio Spurs are old. The Detroit Pistons looked old while being the only team to get swept out of the first round. Both teams became old overnight, and I mean that literally. Detroit was clearly out matched by a young, athletic, and energetic Cavs team. It almost looked like the father son game when the son becomes clearly better than the father. The Spurs, and Tim Duncan specifically, look like they've lost a step. Injuries linger longer. Back to back games become more difficult. Credit the Spurs for having the first dynasty in the post-Jordan era. They've enjoyed great success, but the Dallas Mavericks are clearly the younger, hungrier team and it's just a matter of time before that window finally closes....shut. Over the years we have witnessed many dynasties. The only one to never lose was Father Time.

Stern Rooting for Lakers, Cavs

NBA Commissioner David Stern must be a happy man. The Boston Celtics are the defending champions. There were no arena wide brawls or betting scandals this season. The game's biggest stars even played like the biggest stars. The icing on Stern's cake would be a Lakers / Cavs finals. And for good reason, we want it too. The names Kobe Bryant and Lebron James are so universal, even the average fan would tune in out of mere curiosity. Die hard followers like myself would not be disappointed either. Reigning MVP vs soon to be MVP. Bryant is looking to cement his legacy while James is looking to begin his . Two of the best players in the world on two of the best teams all season in the Lakers and Cavs. No matter who wins that match up, we all win.
