Heat Lose

The Miami Heat's historic 27 game win streak has ended. The streak was second longest in NBA history. The Heat lost 101-97 against the Chicago Bulls. This was the first game Dwayne Wade was back from his injury. Lebron still posted decent numbers with 31 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and 4 blocks as he tried to rally back like in several of the games in the Heat's streak. Luol Deng had 28 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals. He was a key piece in ending the Heat's great streak.

Big Ravens pick up

Yesterday the Ravens finally found their Ray Lewis replacement. They won the bid on signing Elvis Dumervil who just last year, played on the Broncos. After a botched paperwork situation in Denver, the Broncos had to release him which lead to this major signing for the Ravens. I'm expecting huge things from this team again this year.

Western Conference Playoffs


     This year the Western Conference playoff race has been tight as it usually is. Although the Thunder are the favorites this year, there are many teams that could win a series or two and upset them if they are hot. The playoff picture goes as follows, (as of 3/25):
1.      San Antonio Spurs (53-17)
1.      Tony Parker is back (averaging 21 ppg, 7.6 apg before his injury) and ready to play so the Spurs should be able to hold onto their 1 and 1/2 game lead over the Thunder. Manu Ginobili is finally back and playing like himself again (averaging 12.1 ppg and 4.7 apg). Popavich is resting his guys and getting them ready for the playoffs as always. Duncan is holding down the paint for probably one of his last successful season he’s averaging 9.9 boards per game, and 17.3 points per game.
