Blog Entry: MAY 30, 2010 <img src="http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z143/tomruetsch/indianapolis_500_race_3.jpg" border="0" alt="race Pictures, Images and Photos" width = "200" height = "220"/></a> THE GREAT RACE Why do I love the Indianapolis 500. Well let me tell you. First it’s called “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” Then, for me, it’s the first day of summer, it’s summer’s official opening. It’s a place where women have an equal place on the track. A place where describing a woman as “FAST” is a good thing, a very good thing. They say in sports, SPEED KILLS. And at The 500 they go over 200 mph. And every year they are doing everything they can to go even faster. I like that the cars don’t look like ordinary cars and all they did was paint some numbers on them, sorry NASCAR. But it’s true these things look like space ships. It is indeed a spectacle. And you got to love a race where if you win, you get a bottle of milk. Got Indy? MAY 20, 2010 Charge on Rondo Cs GET AN A When the Celtics are on their game, they can't be beat. The only time this team loses is when they lose their concentration. For whatever reason this team just loses their focus for periods of time sometimes entire games, like game 3 in this series with Cleveland when they lost by 29. All the experts on ESPN picked Cleveland, these guys get paid for their analysis, HA! It is so obvious that the Celtics are a better team and really do not get serious about their job until the playoffs and the job is on the line. Boston has the depth, their bench is much better than most teams. Even though they may not score much they do the little things, and when they need to, they will score. If you follow the NBA you have to understand that this team sometimes loses its focus, like when they fell asleep in game 2 and allowed the Cavs to cut a 21 pt. lead by half. This is nothing to be alarmed about, they play up to their competition and they will dispose of the Magic in 6 games as well. This Magic team is the same one that had no business being in the Finals last year. Orlando beat an overrated Cleveland team last year to earn the right to lose to the Lakers well this year it's going to be Boston and they are not overrated. The Celtics want to get back to the Finals and take on the Lakers which will happen again this year. As for the Magic series, Boston matches up well with Orlando. Howard will be out-matched by the Celtics' size. As stated earlier that Boston bench is better. Although Orlando is a much better team with Nelson at point, he will be neutralized by Rajon "Is anyone playing better than me right now" Rondo who is 3" taller ( if Jameer Nelson is 6 ft. then I have a harem of Playboy bunnies, and I don't). Lewis will disappear in this series as he did against the Lakers in a Marijuana smoke filled haze. In conclusion, Boston in 6 and on to the Lakers.
