     Last night was the annual NBA draft lottery. Cleveland won the lottery for the 2nd time in 3 years. They are now the team who won the most #1 picks since the lotto started (4). The Charlotte Bobcats also announced that before the 2014-2015 season they are changing their name back to original name. The Charlotte Hornets. They can do this because the New Orleans Hornets are now the Pelicans.

NBA Playoffs Conference coming

     Last night the Heat v Bulls series ended in a tight one. With a final of 94-91 Miami advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals. Carlos Boozer played well with 26 points and 14 rebounds, but Miami played very well as a whole. LBJ had 23 points, 8 assists, and 7 rebounds, while D-Wade had 18 points in a game he wasn't likely to play in. In the other series ending game last night the Grizzlies beat the Thunder 84-88. Z-Bo stepped up dropping 28 and 14. While Durant tried his best but couldn't keep pace with the Grizz. He had 21, 6, and 8 boards.
     Tonight there are two potentially series ending games. The Knicks play the Pacers at MSG. I think that New York will extend the series and Melo will drop 40. But in game 6 the Pacers will close out the Knicks and take on the Heat. The Spurs take on the Warriors at Oracle Arena aka Roaracle. I think that GSW will beat SAS in game 6 but the Spurs will win game 7 behind a great Tony Parker performance.
