The Cure, the British band that’s become one of the most popular alternative rock bands in the world and Pearl Jam the Seattle grunge group that has sold an estimated 60 million albums worldwide, will be visiting Tampa in June to play at the St. Pete’s Times Forum.
The Cure’s performance is scheduled for June 11, while Pearl Jam will take the stage the following day. Tickets are already on sale and you can purchase them thru Tickets of America.
The cure formed in Crawley, Sussex in 1976. Although it has experienced several lineup changes the Cure had sold an estimated 27 million albums as of 2004.
Pearl Jam formed in 1990 and has sold 30 million records in the United States. One of the most influential bands of the time, the group has outlasted several of its contemporaries from the alternative rock scene in the early 1990’s.
For the sixth time in nine seasons the Los Angeles Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs will square off in the NBA Playoffs. This will be the second time since 2001 that these two teams will meet in the Western Conference finals and the fourth overall. In all three previous ocassions the Lakers have come up victorious
In 1982 the “Showtime” Lakers of Magic Johnson swept the series and the following season the Lakers won again but this time it took them six games.
In 2001 the Lakers, then led by Shaquille O’neal defeated the Spurs wth another sweep and advanced to conquer the first of three consecutive NBA titles.
Despite the Lakers 3-0 record against the Spurs in the Western Conference finals, this time it would be surprising if the series don’t go to seven games and a Lakers victory is not guaranteed despite having home-field advantage.

Even though this this time they fell by just five points against the Cleveland Cavaliers (74-69) the Boston Celtics road struggles should have their fans worried.
This time Lebron James scored 32 points - 19 in the second half - to force a decisive Game 7 in Boston. But even if they defeat the Cavaliers, and I’m pretty sure they will, the Celtics and their fans can’t be feeling confident of what might happen once they meet the Detroit Pistons in the Eastern Conference finals.
The Pistons are not the Cavaliers. Even though they lack a real superstar their bench is deeper and they have already proven (against the Philadelphia 76ers and Orlando Magic) that they can win on the road. If the Pistons steal a victory at the Boston Garden the series might very well be over right there and then. After all, if the C’s were not able to win in Cleveland, they definitely are less prepared to go to Detroit and win one there.
The Celtics’ problems on the road are not only on the deffensive side of the ball. They lost the three road games in Atlanta, and game three in this series because their defense let them down. However, the Celtics’ defense only allowed 88 points in the game four loss against the Cavs, and in game six their defense played a lot better.
No team should lose, when they hold their opponents to only 74 points, and 32.9 percent shooting from the field, like they did yesterday.
The Celtics had no help from anyone on the offensive end, outside of Kevin Garnett. Garnett’s the only player on the Celtics that has been consistent in just all the playoff games up to this point, even in most of the losses, but the other two parts of the Big Three have been very inconsistent at best.
Paul Pierce and Ray Allen will have to step their game up, not only to win in game seven but to have real chances againts the Pistons in the next round.
Hot on the heels of an unprecedented 10-show run on Broadway, and the release of their latest critically acclaimed studio album – Red Carpet Massacre (Epic Records) - musical innovators Duran Duran will be playing in South Florida on May 18 and 19.
