Adrian Payne Staying at MSU

Today Michigan State star Adrian Payne announced he will stay at Michigan State for his Senior Season. This puts Michigan State at 3 in the pre-recruiting rankings but will probably fall after the recruiting process as they don't have the appeal of a Louisville or Kentucky. Some other stars who have announced they are staying include Russ Smith, Mitch Mcgary, and CJ Fair. Some who are leaving early are Nerlons Noel, Trey Burke, Ben Mclemore, and Deshaun Thomas.

Grizz Take Series Lead

Last Night the Grizzlies beat the Clippers 103-93 and take the series lead 3-2. Also for the Clippers Blake Griffin hurt his foot. If the Clippers want to make it deep in the playoffs Chris Paul is going to have to play great. Also The Nuggets beat the Warriors last night 107-100. Stephen Curry felt like he was being targeted. Nuggets got the series back up to 3-2 saving themselves.

NBA Playoffs goodbye AND stayin' alive!

     The Heat and Spurs each completed their sweeps of their respective teams (Bucks and Lakers). In LA Dwight Howard got ejected in the 3rd quarter after picking up his 2nd technical foul. The Spurs then were able to easily disarm the Lakers 103-82 in a 4 game sweep. The Heat also took care of the Bucks in 4 with a final of 88-77, D-Wade didn't even play in the last game. Two nights ago Steph Curry went off and gave the Warriors a 3-1 series lead (3-0 without David Lee). Curry had 22 points in a 6.5 minutes stretch in the 3rd quarter. Ty Lawson tried to help the Nuggets cause with 26 points and 6 dimes.
     The ATL Hawks evened up their series with the Pacers 102-91. Kyle Korver came up big with 19 off the bench, while hitting 5 threes. Josh Smith also had a good game with 29 points and 11 boards. The Nets also extended their season by beating the Bulls in a crucial game 5. The final was 110-91, Brook Lopez led the Nets scoring charge with 28 points and he even added 10 boards. The Bulls bench was outscored 32-20. The Rockets also extended their series in game 4 to make the series 3-1. Kevin Durant scored 38, but he only took 16 shots (he was 13-15 from the line). Reggie Jackson tried replacing Westbrook and scored 18 points but took 18 shots and only had 3 assists. James Harden only had 15 points, but Chandler Parsons helped shoulder the load with 27 points.

Tim Tebow Cut!?

     Yesterday Tim Tebow was but from the New York Jets. He has been contacted by other teams if he would be willing to switch to the tight end position, but so far he has not been willing to do so.

     The Sacramento Kings are staying in Sacramento. The NBA owners committee unanimously voted against moving the Kings. It is still possible that the Kings could be moved, but they are safe for now. Sadly, the Bucks and a few other teams are on the list for next franchise that could possibly be moved.

Realignment in BIG 10 Divisions

With the addition of Rutgers and Maryland in 2014 the BIG 10 will have new conference divisions  They will have East and West divisions with the West made up of  Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Northwestern, Purdue and Wisconsin. The East includes Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State and Rutgers. Both of the new teams are together, and I think the East is way stronger the the West. The only football top 25 finishers in the West last year were Wisconsin and Nebraska, and the East had Michigan, Michigan State, and Ohio State went undefeated. Many people think that just adding 1 team to each division was smarter but they wanted to have it location based. They also will be adding a game to the conference schedule in 2016.

                                                                                                                                                                       

Lakers get swept as Howard gets ejected.

In game 4 of the series the Lakers were on there last straw as they were down 3-0 on the series against the San Antonio Spurs. With Kobe out Dwight had to step up. Let's just say he did not. In the third quarter he got hit with his second technical while he only contributed 7 points with 8 boards. The Lakers didn't have a chance as they lost to the spurs 103-82 as they got swept in the series.

Heat Sweep

www.wallpaperdev.com

The Miami Heat completed the sweep of the Milwaukee Bucks yesterday with a 88-77 win at the Bradley Center. This was no surprise of the Bucks ended the season by losing 7 out of 10. I think the Heat will LOSE  in the conference finals to the New York Knicks. And for the Bucks they will not make the playoffs till 2018 when they get the best pick in the NBA draft  because they will lose all of their playmakers like B Jennings and Ellis who stated he is leaving this season. 

Thunder Done?

     Russell Westbrook is having surgery on a torn meniscus in his right knee. The Thunder are currently up 2-0 in their series against the Rockets. Westbrook is out for the playoffs. Russell scores 29.6 % of their points, and I am pretty sure that Derek Fisher won't be able to fill that void. I think that the Thunder will lose in the conference semifinals to the Clippers.

Fisher goes 1

Eric Fisher from Central Michigan got selected 1 to the Kansas City Chiefs. As most people thought Luke Joeckel would go number 1 he went number 2 to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The weirdest thing is that Manti Teo and Geno Smith didn't get drafted in the first round. We will recap the draft at a different time.
