GOLDEN STATE and TORONTO ADVANCE TO 2nd ROUND

GOLDEN STATE and TORONTO ADVANCE TO 2nd ROUND

The Golden State Warriors. KILLED it in the 1st quarter of the last game in their series with Portland Trailblazers. 45 points. Now that's somethin' to be scared of. No doubt about it. The Warriors are goin' all the way this year. Kevin Durant is healthy, and Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, And the team are firing on all cylinders.

 

The Boston Celtics, the Bulls, Washington wizards, and Atlanta Hawks are playing as I write this.

They're in it with a chance. Or do they have NO HOPE of making the finals?

 Toronto VS Cleveland in the second round. Cleveland have got a tough job ahead. Toronto, will give Cleveland a good run for their money. 

Utah. Is going to try and put away the Los Angeles Clippers. For sure.

the HOUSTON ROCKETS, vs SAN ANTONIO SPURS. IS going to be a SERIES OF THE AGES.
HOW. AWESOME! ... I think San Antonio, will strive for success, and win. They are the much more disciplined of both teams. Harden. Will get shut. Down.

I'm going to go and play basketball now.This is my routine. Feel free to try it out:

CLEVELAND ADVANCE TO 2nd ROUND

CLEVELAND ADVANCE TO 2nd ROUND:

I just finished watching the final moments, in game 4, of the Cleveland Cavaliers vs Indiana Pacers series.
Read 'em and weep! The CAVS got the SWEEP! And Golden State Warriors, will sweep next.
It came down to the wire. It was close. Korver got free throws, after an offensive rebound. Time was drained. Cavs were not very good offensively in the last quarter. They were great defensively though.
Could have been better offensively. They did get the "W". And now they get to have a short rest. They'll likely face Toronto Raptors in the second round. It's not going to be easy, yet I think CAVS will SWEEP the second round versus the Raptors also. Whoever they go up against in the 3rd round, will be harder still.
At this stage I'd say I've got my doubts that it will be Boston Celtics. It's too hard really to say who is strongest in those 2 brackets. BOS/CHI and WAS/ATL. If you go by seed. (BOS/WAS), then BOS.
So maybe it will be a CAVS, BOSTON Eastern conference finals. Who knows. The Cavaliers WILL do everything they can, to make it to the finals. There'll be NO stopping them. Until the final showdown.

Dude WTF! She's pretty and likes the NBA! Uh! Oh!

Cleveland Cavaliers almost have Indiana pacers done. They'll sweep. Lebron James, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love, Deron Williams, J.R Smith and the rest of the team, will get a good rest. They'll get to put their feet up, while a few of the other teams battle it out. The only other team that might sweep the first round now is maybe the Golden State Warriors. I just found out that my cute room mate likes the NBA. She's cute! She's real cute! ...And she likes the NBA! Uh oh! Now I know that. I'm gonna wanna talk to her all the time. She likes Golden State, and Stephen Curry. I like Lebron James, Kyrie Irving, and Cleveland Cavs. She's gonna get sick of me I betcha! I'm thinkin' she gonna be rubbin' it in later on this year when the Cavs lose to Golden State in the finals. Or it's gonna be the other way 'round. Maybe I should ask her out!? Should I!? It's not often you meet a cute one who likes the NBA. She used to like Kobe Bryant and the Lakers when they won championships back in 2009 and 2010. I've liked Kobe Bryant from back when he was drafted. She's a band wagoner like I am. Dude WTF! She's pretty and likes the NBA! Uh! Oh!

The Cleveland Cavaliers are now 2-0 versus the Indiana Pacers.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are now 2-0 versus the Indiana Pacers.

Happy Easter! I hope you had a good one! - I just sat around, and did research, like a nerd. Netflix & Chill. 

They got 'im in the bag! They got 'im in the bag! They got 'im in the bag! They got 'im in the bag!

...And the San Antonio Spurs are now 2-0 versus the Memphis Grizzlies.

 Look for both of these teams to sweep their opponents. That's what I would propose and would be my premonition for the series.

They got 'im in the bag! They got 'im in the bag! They got 'im in the bag! They got 'im in the bag!

I'm just an NBA fan in general! & It's great to see Kawhi Leonard, and the Spurs' success so far. They look great! Another team that looks great! James Harden and the Houston Rockets versus Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Remember I predicted rockets to win. I don't know if it's gonna be that smooth a ride for the Houston Rockets. We'll see how it all pans out. Look for Houston, San Antonio, and Cleveland to sweep and gain momentum. They'll all make a strong push and seek to put round 1 behind 'em.  

 

Although, I hope J.R Smith comes right for the Cavs:
===================================================================

Cleveland Cavaliers guard J.R. Smith leaves Game 2 against Indiana Pacers with hamstring injury

"Cavaliers guard J.R. Smith strained his left hamstring and will not return to Monday's Game 2 of their first-round series with the Pacers.
Smith, who scored three points in 18 first-half minutes, will reportedly be evaluated after the game.
UPDATE: Turner's Kristen Ledlow reports that Smith's injury doesn't appear to be significant. "

Lastly, It's sad to see the headlines, that Isaiah Thomas' sister has been killed in a car accident. I send my deepest condolences. Not a great way to go into the playoffs. Basketball aside. I send out a prayer. Peace be with you! May your sister rest in peace! I'd hope that you'll take good care of yourself and your family after this unfortunate event has happened. I hope ya'll find peace. It's not for me to say or write anything,
because none if it's my business. I just wish to express my deepest sympathies. As a fan. From the soul.

Russell Westbrook for NBA MVP 2016 2017

It’s that time of year! It’s almost NBA finals time! The 2016 – 2017 Regular NBA season is almost finished! And here’s what I’d like to say

I voted this year for five NBA MVP candidates. Here’s who I’ve chosen:

My number one choice is Russell Westbrook. Without a doubt. He’s the real Most Valuable Player this season. He has beaten Oscar Robertson’s Record of 41 Triple doubles! For this season now currently at 42 triple doubles at the time of writing. He is on top of the league in scoring at 31.9 Points per game, 10.7 Rebounds per game, 10.4 Assists per game, and is 11^th at 1.4 Steals per game. He’ll finish up averaging a triple double for the season. This hasn’t been done since Oscar Robertson’s Career in ’63-’64 and ’61-’62.

Although His FG% and 3PT%’s have dropped. He shoots 84.5% from the line. His turnovers have increased and are at 5.4. Yet this is no reason, discredit him. At all. His team has clinched the 6^th seed in the playoffs. And all this has been done without Kevin Durant, who left to play with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala, Draymond Green, and for the Golden State Warriors. This is an incredible feat! He’s an amazing player! He wasn’t a starter in this years All Star game, When he should have been. That said. Russell Westbrook undoubtedly deserves MVP for the 2016-2017 Regular Season. He deserves it! 100% He’s off the hook!

My other choices are Lebron James. My favourite player. He is going to make a strong playoff run with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Yet he is not this year’s MVP. Kyrie Irving isn’t either. Yet, if the Cav’s remain healthy for their playoff run. They’ll most definitely be Eastern Conference Champions. And in the finals. I’d like to see them repeat this year. But. I they won’t.

Isaiah Thomas deserves a vote. The Boston Celtics where on the bottom a few years ago. He is one of the shortest players in the NBA. And yet still goes hard-core every night. He’s a legend in the making. Isaiah Thomas deserves a vote. And if Boston play their cards right this offseason. They’ll be a top 5 team next year. It’ll take a sustained effort, for them to make the finals soon.

Kawhi Leonard, does it on both ends. He’s a massive player for the San Antonio Spurs. Yet, although he gets my vote. He still has a great franchise behind him, great staff, great players, and a great coach in Popovich, who should take the crown as Coach of the Year, every year.

And lastly, James Harden, gets my vote. He’s a sick player. Yet, I don’t think he ought to get MVP. He isn’t working as hard as Russell Westbrook. Yet he does deserve a vote. I’d say that the Rockets will have a strong playoff run. Into the 2^nd and maybe 3^rd rounds. He’ll have to work hard, and his team will have to step up a lot, to make the Finals. Don’t get me wrong. James Harden is a great player and a force to contend with. He’s got a little ways to go before he’s #1.
