May 17, 2008; The Lakers heading to West Finals after 4 years of drought!

Yesterday night, we supposed to have Game 1 of our basketball championship game. But the bad thing is it rained hard with matching strong winds, thus postponing the game. They said that it will be resumed today at 9 a.m., but it also rained this morning, so the game was postponed again! They said that the game will push through on Monday. I woke up early for nothing... Oh well...


As what I've said, I woke up at around 8 a.m. because I knew that the game will start at 9 a.m.. But after knowing that the game was postponed, I ate my breakfast then I listened to my iPod. Then, I watched the game between the Lakers and the Jazz on C/S RPN. Then, ate my lunch, watched a lil' bit of TV and now, here. So there!


And now, for the results of today's playoff action!


First up, Game 6 between the Boston Celtics and the Cleveland Cavaliers. With the Cavs on the brink of elimination, one man stepped up. Who else? But the "King", LeBron James, who had 32 points for their 74-69 win against the Celtics. James added 12 rebounds and 6 assists for the Cavs. Kevin Garnett led the Celtics with 25 points and 8 rebounds. The series is now tied at 3 games a piece. Game 7 will be on Monday at Boston.


And finally, Game 6 between the LA Lakers and the Utah Jazz. Wherein the Lakers held on after a fourth quarter run by the Jazz to win the game and the series, 108-105. They are now waiting on who to face on the West Finals whether it's the New Orleans Hornets or the San Antonio Spurs. League's MVP Kobe Bryant scored 34 points and 8 rebounds, while Pau Gasol had 17 points and 11 rebounds. The Jazz on the other hand were led by Deron Williams withe 21 points and 14 rebounds. The Lakers moved on to the West Finals after 4 long years of not making it through there.
