109 Celtics, 101 Timberwolves
This game was out of hand, then the Celtics stopped trying in the 4th quarter. Big Al had a huge game with 34 points and 11 boards, but luckily or the Celtics Pierce and Allen combined for 58. KG was out with being sick and Tony Allen had a hell of game with 14 points off the bench.
Nothing else really happened.
KG may be out on Tuesday as well.
Superbowl Prediction
Well the game is finally here, and I have had two weeks to be terrified. This game makes me extremely uncomfortable as a Steelers fan. Kurt Warner has the ability to torch any secondary and Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin are two of the best WRs in the league. The Match-up that will make or break the Cardinals will be the 6-2 Ike Taylor on Fitzgerald. Ike has been turning into a premier corner in the league, and this will be a great test for him.
The guy who I think can put this game away is the effectiveness of Willie Parker. If Willie Parker has a good game, the Steelers will win. The reasoning is his effectiveness will determine how much Kurt Warner is not on the field and how effective the play action pass will work for Ben. Ben Roethlisburger is very capable to win the game on his shoulder, but if Willie is running well, it would make things a lot easier for the Steelers offense.
I feel like the Cardinals are going to win the game, but as a Steelers fan, Pitt is going to win this game. The score will be 28-17. The MVP will be Ben Roethlisburger.
Nadal Continues Epic Dominance over Federer
Count me as one of those who gave Rafa no chance in the Aussie Open finals. Roger was coming in well rested while Nadal was just two days off a 5+ hour semifinal win in grueling 100 degree temperatures. Then factor in Roger's dominance on the hard courts and it just seemed like it was his time to return to the top of the Tennis world.
This was not the case and anybody who slept in and missed this match missed one of the greatest ever played. Not quite 5 hours (this one lasted only 4 hours and 23 mins) Rafa outlasted the former number 1 winning the Australian Open title 7-5, 3-6, 7-6 (3), 3-6, 6-2. Do yourself a favor and try to watch the replay at 3:30 on ESPN 2.
This rivalry is quickly proving to be one of the best in sports history. It has already surpassed Agassi/Sampras and is quietly taking its place next to the Sox/Yanks, UNC/Duke and Michigan/OSU. Best of all, it is making tennis relevant again. Anytime you can put these two on the same court you know the battle will be intense. You know you won't be watching a straight set anything and you better clear you schedule for a few hours.
