Our last blog post of the year!!! Ayers wanted us to make the last post to be a reflection of the blog and year I believe. I believe we started the whole blogging ordeal at the start of second term and wow this year flew by, but no thanks to the blog. But overall I kind of started to not mind it. At the begginging I found it to be kind of a pain, but then I found out that I could really just use it as a place to talk about the stuff I really enjoy (sports). But I also could use it as a place to kind of “vent” if things were bugging me in school or if I didn’t like the way somebody was doing stuff. And if you have kept up with the blog you know I did this almost once a week towards the end of the year. I think it has also helped me with my ability to write and also my typing speed. Although neither of those are graded. And I also found out that if you just get your word count and post number done every week, it’s real easy to get a good grade on it. The blog is really helping me with towards maybe for the first time in my high school career getting an A in a LA class (I think). Well Mr. Ayers I had a good time this year, it has been pretty fun all year and I sure hope there is no hard feelings for the PowerPoint. Signing off Jake NOT FUN
Since I posted last there has been quite a few games in both the conference finals. The Lakers and Denver series is 2 to 1 right now but as I am doing this they are playing game four and it looks like Denver is going to end up tying the series at two games a piece. It seems to me that the Lakers kind of stole game in Denver and are going to have close the series out at home. In the eastern conference the series is 2 to 1 in favor of Orlando. The way the Magic are play it really won’t be a surprise to me if the series ends before game seven.

Well I got my word count down so here is when Michael Jordan broke the back board it is one of the nastiest dunks I have ever seen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caNVWoHLejE
This having to blog and do the forum both this week is really not fun at all. I don’t like having to read then do the forum and then be like oh yeah I still have to post on my blog. It’s really lame and especially this week since all of my ap test are this week and then I have test in all of my other classes and I’m sure we’ll have to blog an extra ten times this week just for the hell of it. And oh yeah we have to read and work on our project that by they way nug and killyer still have no idea what we’re going to do for it. Well I just had to get my complaining out of the way so now I think I can move on and try to get some talk about what’s going on in the sporting world.
Well in NBA playoff news the Lakers got shitted on today in Houston. Wow they played bad and the rockets didn’t even have Yao. Kobe only had 15 points. This could have been the ugliest game I’ve seen the Lakers play this year. In the other series Boston and Orlando are tied at two games a piece, and cav’s lead 3-0 and the nuggets also lead 3-0.

Last night the Laker’s played and wow did they terrible. Huston pretty much dominated the entire game. Kobe played awful it sure seemed like he went 2 for 45 but some how he still had 25 points. They said Kobe was sick and had a bad shoulder but I just think he was a little down in the dumps about not winning the league MVP. The MVP award went to Lebron James. I’m not sure how they picked him, over Kobe. I think this had to be one of the closest MVP races ever, when both players are crazy good and very important to their team’s success. The Laker’s and Huston play again on Wednesday night I believe and I sure hope that the Laker’s don’t blow another one at home. Maybe it was the six day break that they had, cause that sometimes does have an effect on how they play after a long break in the first game of a series. So hopefully they bounce back and just win four straight and move on to the western conference finals against the winner of the Nugget Maverick series. Also last night in the first game of the evening, Boston played Orlando in Boston. Orlando won. This was a huge win for them, to win in Boston and to beat the defending champs in the first game of the series. In my opinion Boston played almost as bad as the Lakers did. But I actually hope that Orlando beats the Celtics.

Last night Boston Red Sox played the Yankees for the first time at the new Yankee stadium. Yankees lost! This is great. Yankees spent so much in the off season and still have the worst overall era in baseball right now and are pretty much sucking it up where ever they play.

Well since I blogged last I’m pretty sure that the bulls and Celtics played game six and seven. First off this was one of the best NBA games I’ve ever watched and most people I have talked to they feel the same way. Game six went into three overtimes and the Bulls came out on top. So game seven was in Boston and although it didn’t go into overtime it still was a really good game in my opinion. Boston won by ten but really it was a lot closer than it sounds. The Hawks won game seven over the heat but this series was not a good one at all, the average margin of victory was 19 points. So the Hawks have the Cav’s next round. I don’t think that it is going to end well for the Hawks. The second round started in the west, the mavericks played the nuggets today in the first game of the series. The nuggets won, I did not see the game and have not seen any highlight on it so I really can’t say much about it. But now that the first round is over this is when the playoffs get really slow cause at most there are 2 games a day. Tomorrow the Lakers play the rockets in LA and the Celtics play the magic in Boston. I’ll have more on the NBA playoffs in my upcoming post, unless we are done doing our blogs. And let me tell you that would be pretty cool cause I am not liking this blogging and have to read our books and do the forum about our books too. Oh and we have to do our final project about our books too. Not fun.
