NBA Playoffs San Antonio Sweeps Memphis

     The San Antonio Spurs are going to the NBA finals for the 5th time in 15 years. They beat Memphis 93-86 in the 4th game of the series. Tony Parker did his part for 37 points and 6 dimes. Memphis shot only 37.2 % from the field throughout the whole game. Also Memphis was dominated by the Spurs in one of their strongest statistical categories, points in the paint. Memphis had 32 to SAS' 52.
     Sunday night Miami went to Indiana and took care of business with the Pacers. D-Wade had 18 points, 8 assists, and 2 blocks. Every Heat starter had 14+ points. The one positive from the Pacers was the fact that they held Miami to 6 fast break points.

Should the NBA have a 1 year out of high school rule?

     Lebron James, Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant. When you hear those names you think of Hall of Famers, and some of the top basketball players ever. They were also drafted straight out of high school. There are two sides to every argument and that rule applies especially to this one.

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 Finals underway!

     The Grizzlies lost 105-83 to the Spurs in the first game of the WCF. Only two starters from each team played 30 or more minutes in the game.
     In the second WCF game every Spurs starter scored in double digits once again. The Grizzlies were held to 31 first half points. The Grizz still managed to take the game to OT, but SAS came out on top 89-93. Z-Bo had 15 points and 18 boards for Memphis, but his 6-18 shooting held them back.

     The New York Knicks were on the brink of elimination, facing the Pacers at MSG. Carmelo Anthony had a good game scoring 28 points and grabbing 6 boards. Chris Copeland gave a good effort off of the bench scoring 13 points off the bench while shooting 3-4 from deep. There was a total of 9 fast break points scored in the game 7 of which came from the Knicks. Paul George contributed 23 points, 6 boards, and 6 assists. The Knicks won 85-75. In Oakland, Steph Curry and the Warriors under performed shooting only 25 % from the promise land. While Timmy D and the spurs won by 12. All 5 Spurs starters had at least 11 points.

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.
