Bandwagon or True Fan? Which are you?

Many across the nation hollers #TeamHeat every game....until they lose, or they allow their mouth to become reckless against the opponent. A true fan doesn't yearn to talk so much because the work is sat out on the court by the team no matter if they are leaving with a lost or a win...after a lost, a true fan stay calm because it's "Only one game" as you all say. When your mouth starts yapping, you show us how timid and scared you are. In reality you all lack alot of faith...you don't believe & trust in your team as you say you do. Many people really can't accept the fact that every person isn't a fan for the Heat or Lebron.  You give credit where credit is due, but understand you cannot make everyone trail behind you.  Every sport has a player or team that is disliked...get over it! And honestly, many of you aren't true fans...many of you parade on the back of the wagon, marching along with everyone else. I think many of you carry along only because you all think they will get another ring and make you feel like a Champ too...why you cant be a winner without the ring? Although both of my teams, the Lakers and the Grizzlies are out, we still walk proud like Champs WITHOUT the ring because we still have a chance next season. Okay sorry to arouse you all but I call it how I see it...Well let's talk...I know you all have alot to say now.

Questionable Series Miami vs. Indiana

The Heat took the game away from the Pacers at home as they took on Game 3 of the Playoffs.  This series is quite questionable.  Who will make it to the finals? Let's talk.

Swept in the Dust

Game 4 of the playoffs, Memphis Grizzlies versus San Antonio Spurs, had a cheerless ending on last night as the Spurs walk into the finals with a 4-0 series record.  The first half ended with the Grizz only being able to account for less than 15 shots while the Spurs enclosed 24 made shots.  Offense became very weak and the Spurs strength overpowered the Grizz defense.  Moving into the second quarter with 10 minutes left on the clock, Zebo, Zack Randolph, hadn’t made any shots from the nine minutes he had been on the court and Conley was only able to accumulate 2 points within his 10 minutes of game play.  Towards the end of the 2nd quarter, Tony Parker was at 10 assists on 18 field goals.  As a whole, Memphis didn’t take care of the ball…shots were thrown up instead of making more smart decisions with smooth transitions. The half ended with 38 points on the Spurs end and 44 on the Grizz end, bringing the Grizz down by 6.  As for the third quarter the Grizz played right along side the Spurs adding 28 points to the boards.  Running down the clock, fourth quarter, Memphis just couldn’t pull through…leaving the Spurs to celebrate a 4-0 run into the 2013 NBA Finals.  Although down and out, the Grizz don't Bluff...this is an opening for a great future! Opponents beware, the Grizz are coming for you next season!

Will Bluff City bring Home a Win?

Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals pushed the Grizzlies farther into the backseat as the Spurs took over home court advantage.  Memphis took the lead as far as they could and eventually had to battle the game into overtime.  The Spurs went to work in overtime as they outscored the Grizzlies 18-7.  Tim Duncan dropping 24 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and two blocks, Tony Parker added 26 and Manu Ginobili scored 19 points along with seven rebounds and five assists.  They were able to pull off a 3-0 lead in the series as they outscored Memphis by 11, 104-93.  Conley 20 points and five steals alone just couldnt outweigh the overall performance of the Spurs.  Hopefully Monday night the Grizz can bring home a win to shake the series.  Stay tune until tomorrow night as Game four is hosted at the Fed-Ex Forum and ESPN at nine eastern time.

Pacers Shifting the Series

Game 2 of the Heat vs. Pacers game ended in an uproar last night as the Pacers took over home court advantage by 4 pts. (97-93) taking the series into 1-1.  Paul George has added fuel into the series as he play alongside Lebron James.  James was 10-of-14 shooting agaisnt Paul George with 25 pts but unalbe to score in the final 2:43 while George was 6-of-7 shooting against James with 16 pts last night; and has been shooting more efficiently during the series.  He compete with confident building plays and finishing at the rim.  "I love competition and appreciate the opportunity to come out to the world."  Paul George also states last night during his interview that the team has a strong, confident team with no egos and the positivity around him builds the bond that they have on the court. He is proving himself to be more and more sufficient as a third year player.  And he created an "Angry Bird" as he rose above Birdman shutting him down for the rest of the night.
Moving forward, our Big Man Roy Hibbert found his grove last night as well.  His Defense ended the many drives to the basket by the Heat; shooting 28 pts in 21 minutes.  Lebron wasn't able to do much with the ball with Hibbert on the court.  If he keep this up for the rest of the series, the Pacers will be in great shape.

Heat & Pacers Go into Overtime _Game1

The Heat & Pacers battle into overtime in Game1 last night. With 1 minute remaining on the clock, Bosh knocks in the ball off the glass concluding with an And 1 , tying the game at 99 leaving 49 seconds on the clock. Fast forwarding, Lebron goes up for a lay-up, leading the team by 2 with 10 seconds left of hard defense. The gym is steaming hot now, the Pacers have possession of the ball. Ball is thrown in, Pacers fumble the ball and finally recovers after a tough fight and Paul George attempts a 3, and it's good! attaining a foul by Wade. All 3 free throws are good; Pacers up by 1. 2.2 seconds remain and the Heat fans are devastated! Ball is thrown in, defense becomes weak from the Pacers and King James goes in strong ending the game by 1, 102-103. Heat leads the series 1-0. But I must say, the Pacers put up one hell of a fight. The competition is quite interesting. What can we all expect for Game 2??

Heat or Pacers?

The Pacers had the Heat pacing tonight. Who has the will power to dominant the series?
With 50.4 seconds left in the 4th quarter the game ties with 89 pts. Wade came down for a lay-up leading the team by 2 pts with 36.9 seconds left on the clock. As the Pacers come down to tie the game, Wade dismisses the 2 pt attempt. Allen missed 1st attempt on the free throw line & luckily knocks down the 2nd attempt. The Heat leads by 3 as the crowd questions the Pacers on tying the game up with a lucky 3?.07 seconds left on the clock and George pulls off a 3 to tie the game. #TeamHeat nervous now. Into overtime we go! What do you all think will happen within the next 5 mins?

Will Indiana keep with the Pace or will Miami fire them up?

Today is the beginning of the Indiana Pacers and Miami Heat playoff series starting at 8:30 p.m. eastern time on TNT.  What are you all predictions of the game!? Let's talk

Who will take the Series to the Finals?

Will it be the Memphis Grizzlies or San Antonio Spurs to go forward into the 2013 NBA Finals?  The Spurs were able to sweep the Grizzlies off their feet Sunday night in Game 1 with a 22 point spread 105-83 in San Antonio.  As of last night, Game 2 of the playoffs, the Grizz gave the Spurs a run for their money as they took the game into overtime.  Late in the fourth quarter, Tony Allen drew a clutch flagrant foul.  Although San Antonio prevailed with a 2-0 lead into the series, will they have the fight to dominant Memphis at home for Game 3 and 4 beginning Saturday, May 25 at 9 p.m. eastern time on ESPN.  What are you all takes on the Playoffs?
