Quite a Fun Sports and Entertainment Related Weekend
The Hershey Bears won twice at home this weekend to take a commanding 3-1 lead in the AHL Calder Cup Finals. One more win and the Cup goes back to Hershey. Go Bears! Way to win on Saturday 3-0 and on Sunday 2-1! The team is getting outstanding playoff goaltending. We are very deep in goalie prospects now. That is such a comforting thought, isn’t it ?
The Bears play again at home trying to close it out on Tuesday. Click here to read about yesterday’s big win.
The Washington Mystics started strong too with a Saturday night win over Connecticut and a big win over Atlanta at home yesterday. We have a lot of depth now; a lot of team speed; and an entire new upbeat and positive attitude. We had a big and enthusiastic crowd yesterday at our season home opener. It was loud and it was appreciative of how we responded to being down big after the first period to coast to an easy win. I am hopeful that our rebuild of the Washington Mystics is as successful as our rebuild of the Washington Capitals. So far so good. Click here to read about the Mystics performance from this weekend. I hope to see you all at a game this season.
King James
At one point late in the second period, I looked up at the scoreboard and LeBron James had two points. Two points! But the Cavs were up by 10 points.
When it was over, he had a monster game - a triple double game. He involved his teammates. They delivered for him and the Cavs and the Wizards go home again losing in the first round.
The difference between winning and losing is usually small in playoff basketball or hockey. A call here or a missed shot there is usually the deciding factor. Not last night. Cleveland was the better team: bigger; stronger and faster; playing great defense; and moving the ball crisply. And when all else failed, LeBron took the ball to the hoop and made all 10 of his free throws. I think LeBron is a mix of Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson. He is huge; fast; has great basketball sense; is physical; can shoot and pass and make foul shots; and can jump out of the building. He is a one of a kind and a great generational player.
The Wizards had a successful year. The team lost an All-Star player, Gilbert Arenas, to injury and yet still qualified for the playoffs. They played hurt but played with determination and team work.
We should be proud. Onward to the off-season and then to next year.
They Won it For Abe!
Way to go! It’s back to DC and Verizon Center for game 6 on Friday night. Wear your white; come on out; and be loud and proud.
Kudos to Caron Butler. He played a great game and when the game was on the line, he went strong to the hoop and didn’t settle for a jump shot. THAT is NBA playoff basketball.
Truer Words Were Never Spoken
Win one for Abe!
