April 26, 2008; Late post! Sorry guys!

I am sorry for the late post because this was such a busy day!

My uncle arrived from New Zealand this afternoon so we had to pick him up. From there, we went to his hotel. then, went to Mall of Asia to eat and wind. We ate at the Tagaytay Highlands Chinese Restaurant and the food there was delicious! Then, we walked around the mall to buy some of my uncle's things. After which, we dropped off my uncle to his hotel because he has a convention to attend to this week. So there!

Now back to business! The continuing coverage of the 2008 NBA Playoffs. First up, the series between the Pistons and the Sixers wherein the Sixers posted another upset against their opponent via a big margin, 95-75. Canadian Samuel Dalembert led the way for the Sixers with 22 points and 16 rebounds. While Andre Miller added 21 for the Sixers, who now leads the series, 2-1. The Pistons, however, were led by Rip Hamilton with 23 points and 6 rebounds.

The next game is between the Dalls Mavericks and the New Orleans Hornets. The Mavericks made it close up until the final quarter when the Hornets pulled away and won via a 97-87 score. Jannero Pargo had a big night for the Hornets with 30 huge points from the bench. Chris Paul added 16 for the Hornets. The Mavs were steamrolled by German Dirk Nowitzki with 32 points and 19 rebounds. The Hornets now lead the series 2-1.

The last game of the day was between the San Antonio Spurs and the Phoenix Suns. Now, the Suns should be worried because they are seriously in danger, because the Spurs won, 115-99, to lead the series 3-0. All they nee is a road win in Game 4 to advance in the West Semifinals. The Spurs were headed by the brilliant performance of Tony Parker with 41 huge points and 12 assists. Tim Duncan had 23 points and 10 rebounds. The Suns, were led by Amare Stoudemire with 28 points and 11 rebounds on a losing note.

Btw, Manchester United lost against Chelsea, 2-1 at the Old Trafford. Michael Carrick missed a penalty shot that might have tied the game, but that miss made Chelsea closer to Manchester United for total points for the Barclay's Premier League title. The next game of Man Utd will be at Old Trafford against Barcelona for the 2nd leg of their UEFA Champion's League semifinals.

The Wizard was here...
