April 22, 2008; MANU-vering his way onto the Sixth Man Award!

Yesterday, me, my dad, and my grandpa, went to a friend for a gathering. They served an array of foods because it was dinner time. Who ever wondered that I could eat turtles and rabbits on the same meal? Wow! It was delicious! Trust me, it tasted like chicken for me, simply like frog legs! By the way, I didn't eat it raw, it was cooked for pete sake. Haha!

Now onto NBA news. Earlier today, Manu Ginobili of the San Antonio Spurs was awarded the 2007-08 NBA Sixth Man Award, the first time the Argentinian won the award. He received a total of 143 out of a possible 144 first-place vote, with 615 total votes. Last year's Sxth Man awardee Leandro Barbosa came in second with 283 points and Jason Terry of the Dallas Mavericks completed the top 3 with 44 points.

The Cleveland Cavaliers dominated the Washington Wizards, 116-86, to lead their best-of-seven series 2 games to none, much to the happiness of the crowd inside the Q. LeBron James finished with a double-double performance with 30 points, 12 assists, 9 rebounds and a steal for the Cavs, while Zydrunas Ilgauskas added 16. For the Wizards, who are now on a big hole, should win the next game to somehow inch their way back to it. Caron Butler, DeShawn Stevenson, and Darius Songaila, scored 12 points each for the Wizards, while Gilbert Arenas scored just seven points because of a sore wrist. The series will now shift to the Verizon Center in the capital of the United States, Washington D.C. on Friday morning Manila time.

The Utah Jazz also won against the Houston Rockets, 90-84, to lead their own series 2-0. The frontcourt of the Jazz simply made the difference with Kirilenko, Okur, and Boozer going in for the points and grabbing the boards. Now, the Rockets realize that without All-Star center Yao Ming, they can't win the inside battle. The Jazz were led by their court general, Deron Williams, who scored 22 points, had 1 rebound and dished out 5 assists. Mehmet Okur contributed with a double-double performance of 16 points and 16 rebounds. The series will now shift to the EnergySolutions Arena in beautiful Salt Lake City, Utah for Game 3 Friday.
