NBA Title Prediction

In a rematch last year's finals the Heat will take control early and win game 1, because Lebron will get a triple double and Ray Allen will hit 5 three's off the bench.

In game 2 it will be close the whole game but Kevin Durant will miss a buzzer beater and the Heat will go up 2-0. In game 3, a must win for the Thunder, they will come out victorious 100- 95. In game 4 Shane Battier will contribute and Dwayne Wade will chip in for 28 in a Heat victory.

In the first elimination game with the heat up 3-1 the Thunder will win and Russel Westbrook will get is career high in points and will also record 9 assists. The series now 3-2, Lebron will turn it on and give the Heat a big lead at halftime. The thunder will keep it close in the 4th but Lebron will hit a buzzer beater and win his 2nd ring.

Western Conference Playoffs

1st Round- In the Thunder Rockets series I think the Rockets will come to play, but lose in 6 games and the score will be 99-95, with the Thunder hitting some clutch free throws.

1st Round- On the other side it's the Lakers against the Spurs, and although the Spurs are getting older they will survive in ot in game 7, and Tony Parker will average 20 points and 8 assists in a great series.

1st Round- The Nuggets Golden State match up is an interesting one. Although arguably Denver's best player Danillo Galinari is out for the playoffs the Warriors have greatly overachieved this year and may have trouble in the playoffs. I think the Warriors will upset the Nuggets in 7 games. As I think David Lee, Andrew Bogut, Stephe Curry and Klay Thompson will be too much for the Nuggets.

1st Round- This series is a battle  of 2 underrated teams that have a chance to win in all. This game will be decided by Chris Paul's play, will he be able to take advantage of Memphis's so-so point guard play. For Memphis they need big numbers from their 2 big men Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph. I don't think they'll get that and will lose in 6.

Conference Semi's- When the Clippers play the Thunder I think the Thunder will win just because the Clipp's can't match up with KD. I think the Thunder will win in 6.

Conference Semi's- In this 2-6 game the x- factor is Tony Parker's defense and the Warrior's Shooting. I don't think Tony Parker will be able to guard Steph Curry and Klay Thompson will hit his shots giving the Warriors a win in 7 games.

Conference Finals- I don't think this will be a close series with the Thunder cruising to victory over the Warriors in 5 games. Again Kevin Durant will take over, and Russel Westbrook will contain Stephen Curry.

Eastern Conference Playoffs

If the seeding hold up as they are now the eastern conference playoff picture would look like this.

1st Round- The Bucks would play the Heat, and the Heat will win the series 4-1 with out even getting tested .
1st Round- On the other side of the bracket the Knicks match up with the Celtics. I think this will be a great match up with Paul Pierce matched up against Carmelo. I think J.R. Smith will be the difference scoring 30 points in game 6 to take the series for the Knicks.

1st Round- In the Pacer Hawks series I think it will be a boring series as both teams are known to be a little boring to watch. I also think that this will be a close series with the Pacers winning in 6.

1st Round- In the Bulls Nets series I think it will go to game 7 with the Nets prevailing on a Joe Johnson buzzer beater.

Conference Semi's-  The heat will cruise past the Nets in their second straight easy series again 4-1.

Conference Semi's- In the Knicks vs Pacers match up I'm gonna take the Knicks in 6 and have the 1 and 2 seeds in the semi's with another easy series.

Conference Finals- I think this will be an outstanding series with the heat taking game 7 easily to advance to the NBA finals.

Red Sox win after trajedy

The Boston Red Sox won their first game after the marathon tragedy, behind a 7 run 2nd inning. Feliz Doubront got the win, and Mike Napoli led the way on offense with 3 RBI'S for the Sox in a 7-2 victory. Ubaldo Jimenez took the loss and the Indians fell to 5-7 while the Red Sox improved to 9-4.

T-Mac is back

     Yesterday Tracy McGrady signed with the San Antonio Spurs. This is good news for Spurs fans, because they recently released Stephen Jackson. T-Mac has averaged over 25 ppg, 7.2 boards, and 5.1 assists in the Chinese league. His career playoff average is 28.5 points per.

Comes down to this

Tonight the Lakers take on the Rockets to try to edge out the Jazz for the 8th playoff spot in the west. While the Jazz take on the Grizzlies to try to get in the playoffs. If both teams win the Lakers get in. If both teams lose the Lakers get in. If the Lakers win and the Jazz lose the Lakers get in. But the only chance for the Jazz is if they win and the Rockets beat the Lakers. I predict the Rockets will win in OT and the Jazz will win by 1 point. If the Lakers don't get in they playoffs, Howard might leave, Nash might retire, Kobe is seriorsly hurt, and Pau Gasol is not that powerful anymore. So the Lakers next year might not even be a playoff contender.

AOTD

Yesterday's answer was Brittney Griner. Jack G., Adam N., Jordyn K., and Matt M. were right.
