Macca

Here's a track from 'Euge Groove' ( Steven Eugene Grove ) . This song takes a little while to get going but when it does , Steven gets to show his real talent . Some earthy sax here . Nice lead guitar break towards the end to round it out nicely . Macca 3.2

I read somewhere that the Nuggets are one of the leading "fast break" to score teams . Think that's how it's described anyways . I hope the Lakers get through . And I really do like watching Kobe play - especially when he's on . They play again on Sunday (our time) so hopefully Bryant is firing on all cylinders then . For similar reasons I'd like the Clippers to get through - Would like to see the Chris Paul and Blake Griffin show continue . Clippers are at home to the Grizzlies tomorrow - 11am ESPN .

A fan of Jamiroquai but haven't heard a lot of Moses Mayes though if that track is anything to go by , I'll have to get into some of their music . Great stuff . I like a fair bit of that funk/acid jazz from the 90's including 'Brand New Heavies' , 'Incognito' , 'Down to the Bone' , 'Urban Knights' , 'Marcus Miller' , 'Wayman Tisdale' , 'Brian Culbertson' and the 'Greyboy Allstars' .

At the moment both the Lakers and Clippers are "skating on thin ice" . Perhaps they need Kobe and Griffin to "Ice" their next games . oy vey

Yeah , how 'bout another nickname ! First there was 'Nuggets' , then 'Macca' and now 'Mozza' ! Capitals even the score ! Barry Melrose has tipped them to win in 7 . Last game is at MSG , Sunday 9.30am Oz time - Fox3 live

Well here's another Fleetwood Mac song from the late 80's . A lot of people liked their early stuff around the late 60's , early 70's but "Rumours" remains a standout album . Let me have a think on the 80's rock . So much of it really . Maybe we can have an 80's theme for a few weeks ? Or longer ! Others can post their fav's . Christine McVie remains one of my favourite female rock artists Macca's 80's 1.0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThbMaq8hDEo

Here's a changeover from the Hoops to the Hockey at the Staples centre . At the end of this short video you can view some other rink/court changeovers .

Yep , the Thunder and the Spurs have a chance to rest up - a real plus in this cramped season . Clippers @ Memphis (3-1) tomorrow as well as the Knicks @ Miami (9am , Espn) That Staples centre is getting a workout . The Lakers , Clippers and the LA Kings Ice hockey team all play out of the venue . Apparently they just roll out (?) the basketball court out over the ice for NBA and WNBA games (Sparks)

Amazing how the 2 paths can be so different . You could argue that the 8 seeds are really the 15 and 16 seeds which makes the pathways even more dissimilar . The Devils wrapped it up today which puts our last representative on this thread out . Would have thought we might have at least got one of the Flyers , Penguins , Canucks or Sharks into the last 4 but to no avail . Next year ! Unless of course , there is somebody out there on Demonland who follows one of the 5 remaining teams ? Beware of the jinx factor though !! After the Canucks were eliminated I got on the Bruins (eliminated) , then St Louis (eliminated) . Who's next ? hmmmm Ok , I'm on Phoenix . C'mon the Coyotes !

Wow ! That was really something . Lindsey at his best .

Phoenix get through after beating Nashville again to win 4-1 overall . Their match up with LA should be a beauty . I think the Coyotes get home ice advantage but LA won't care . They'll probably relish starting off away from home again . Over in the East the Rangers hold a 3-2 advantage over Washington after their last gasp win today . The Devils lead the Flyers 3-1 but Philadelphia may not be done with yet . They play each other tomorrow at 9.30am Oz time . On Fox3 'live' for those with cable .

Lakers win a close one but they seemed to be in control in the 2nd half . Great defence in the last 5 minutes . Oklahoma awaits (assuming LA get one more win , which seems a formality now) The Knicks get a win ! Anthony has a night out and Amare scored 20 . Didn't even think Stoudemire would play . The next game is in Miami . Boston had a big win over Atlanta . Just like the Lakers , Miami and the Sixers (who also won) the Celtics hold a 3-1 advantage . I know it's probably a no-brainer but I can't see any of the Knicks , Hawks , Nuggets or the Bulls having any chance now . Stranger things have happened though . The Bulls did well when Derrick Rose didn't play during the regular season . They need to get a wriggle on though . Atlanta would need to turn things around big time .

Denver get 1 back on the Lakers . Maybe they're not done yet . Tomorrows games Pacers/Magic (2-1) Grizzlies/Clippers (1-1) Thunder/Mavs (3-0) Spurs/Jazz (2-0) ESPN from noon .

Latest from Soundgarden (some clips from the movie "The Avengers") Spoiler alert ! Macca 8.0

Haven't got that pass , Foxtel incl ESPN will have to do for now . Though they should have more live games on . Fairly sure Foxtel subscribers get most/all of the conference finals and definately all of the Championship games . Agree on the Heat making it through to the conference finals and would like to see Boston make it but I have a few doubts . If all their name players stand up then they're a real chance . The Westen conference should see Oklahoma/Spurs get through .

It's looking like a Phoenix/L.A match up after the Coyotes win today (1-0) against Nashville . Unless of course , we have a big come from behind series win (not sure we've had 1 yet during these playoffs?) . Early game tomorrow between the Rangers/Capitals . The NY Rangers lead that series 2-1 . On at 2.30am Oz time but not on the box - grrrrr !

Lakers/Denver on the tele tomorrow at 12.30 (ESPN) . Finally get a chance to watch a game live and it clashes with our Demons ! There's a game on Sunday as well - Noon (ESPN) . Spurs/Utah . Beauty . At this early stage it's looking like a probable Oklahoma/Lakers match-up in the West . The Spurs get through surely , but that Clippers/Grizzlies result is anybody's guess . In the East , Miami are 1 win away from the 2nd round , the Pacers will possibly account for Orlando (minus Dwight Howard) but the other 2 match-ups are a toss up now .

And L.A just keeps marching on with another win over St Louis 4 - 2 . Who is gonna stop 'em ?

Jeff Golub is a well renowned jazz guitarist . His style is uptempo , almost pop . He's certainly popular . Macca 3.1 Jeff Golub - Boom Boom

Amazing , that's nearly 2 whole games in one night . Got a feeling that Rangers/Capitals series will go to 7 . Tomorrows live game is St Louis at LA . From noon on fox3 . If LA win this one it's gotta be shut the gate .

Yeah I like it , I heard that it's a throwback thing . Certainly looks that way . No real surprises in the hoops , the Spurs are looking good . Patty Mills scored 9 pts (4/5) in their easy win over Utah .

L.A swamp St Louis again . They win 5 - 2 after scoring 4 goals in the 1st period . They're now 2 nil up in that series . They're in hot form . The Capitals are doing well , they beat the NY Rangers 3 - 2 to level the series at 1 all . Ovechkin scored the long range winner . Just the 1 game tomorrow Devils/Flyers . On fox3 at 9.30am tomorrow . The Flyers lead the series 1 - 0 .

How bout those Clippers ? 27 pts down deep in the 3rd quarter and they get up and win !

Had a look at Nashville/Phoenix today on fox . 5 -3 win to the Coyotes . Excellent game and they now lead that series 2- 0 . In the other game the Flyers beat the Devils 4-3 to go 1 up in that series . You've got the luxury 'GTG' of having all these games on when you can watch them hey ? Over here the evening games start from about 9am but "work" gets in the way . Damn it !

Here's a real "feel good" song from Nickelback's latest album (Here and Now) . The song is entitled "Don't ever let it end" Macca 7.9 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yr6ndP-6w0c
