Quite a weekend in sports.  A few series came to an end, and a new streak began. 

Kobe Bryant and the Lakers finally finished off the pesky Utah Jazz in 6 games.  Now -- they await the winner of the New Orleans/San Antonio series, which concludes tonight in what will surely be an historic game 7. 

Another great series came to a close on Sunday, as the Boston Celtics took care of LeBron and the Cavs in Game 7, 97-92.  And it was one of the best one-on-one shoot outs of all time, with the Celtics Paul Pierce putting up 41 points and LeBron going crazy with 45.  Plus, PJ Brown hit a clutch 3-pointer with 1:21 remaining the in the game to give the Celtics a 91-88 lead.  A lead they would hold until the end.  They now advance to the Eastern Conference Finals against the always tough Detroit Pistons. 

And there's more:  This one... on the rink.  The Pittsburgh Penguins defeated the Philadelphia Flyers, and advanced to the Stanley Cup Finals.  They did this behind their young all-star, Sidney Crosby, who many consider to be the best player in the league.  More importantly, in the past few seasons the Penguins had become an almost forgotten franchise.  Now, they are headed to the Finals, and are just four games away from completely reclaiming the sport. 

Finally, a new streak began this week as Big Brown, the Kentucky Derby champion, won The Preakness in Baltimore.   Now he has won two of the three triple-crown events, and will go for the third and final leg at the Belmont Stakes in three weeks.  While it may only seem like a race to some, winning all three major events is LEGENDARY and the amount of money involved in just a 2 minute race is simply astounding.  Winning the Belmont stakes and completing the trifecta would launch Big Brown into the halls of sporting masterpieces. The last horse to win the Famed Triple Crown was Affirmed in 1978.  So, question is... can you wish a horse luck?
