NCAA Tournament and NBA Playoffs
After BYU lost in the opening round of the NCAA tourney, I am a little disappointed in their ability to win in big games; they maintain consistent good play until the 2nd half of the last two most important games of the season. I hope the junior Cummard and Plaisted come back for their senior year. We’re only losing a couple of players. We could hopefully make it past the first round of the NCAA tournament.Well I am routing for North Carolina to win the NCAA tournament. I also like the play of Memphis and then UCLA. Oscar is a fan of UCLA (because Grandpa Schaefer went to school there). He is proud of his grandpa.
I am also looking forward to this years end of the NBA regular season (in particular the excellent competition that is happening in the Western Conference). It is going to be hard for all teams playing each other. No one team far exceeds another in play. I just hope the Utah Jazz just don’t play the San Antonio Spurs. I would prefer they play the New Orleans Hornets (we’ve won 3 games against them this year). I also wouldn’t mind playing the Rockets or the Warriors or even the Mavericks or maybe the Suns (just not San Antonio). We have a tough match up with them. And they are great.
I’m also pretty excited to watch the Boston Celtics dominate the Eastern Conference. I’d love to a Boston Celtics - Utah Jazz finals. I know that is asking a lot but I think that they are that good. They can beat any team when they are playing their A game, which has been pretty consistent this year. We just need homecourt advantage. We are next to unbeatable at home. Energy Solutions Arena.
