NBA Western Conference Finals: Los Angeles Lakers vs Phoenix Suns

Ron Artest was one of my favorite players before because he seems to play with so much passion (we share the same birthday). But in this series, I was rooting for the underdogs, the Phoenix Suns and I want Steve Nash and Grant Hill to win a championship before they retire, although the series is not yet over, it is difficult for the suns to win 2 straight against the Lakers.

I watched the last second shot of Artest again and again…talk about being at the right place at the right time, but it really is all about the hustle of Ron-ron. Great play!

With Yao Ming out of the playoffs, they just did not die down and let the lakers beat them down specially at home. They were clearly the underdogs but they showed they can match up with anybody with their hustle and intensity. Their two lopsided loss in Game 5 and 7 proved that LA is a really more talented team than the Rockets. Good luck with the team next year:)

I am now rooting for Cleveland Cavaliers, Go Lebron.

FYI
Ron Artest and I share the same birthday, November 13
