Game 6 Thunder VS Clippers

Game 6 of the NBA playoffs. Although OKC trailed by as much as 16 during the game they never gave up. Even though not long into the game there best big guy Serge Ibaka got injured and never returned they still came away with the 6 point win, 104-98. Although there were some questionable calls that OKC got there way, Doc Rivers the coach of the Clippers did not like these calls very much and was very upset with all of the bad calls he thought shouldn't have been called. In the 4 quarter Blake Griffen was called for a charging foul and that was his 6th foul so he was out of the game. This was the end of the game for the Clippers they tried to fight back but they couldn't. They couldn't take the lead or come close enough to win. Now the Thunder will play the Spurs in the Conference finals since the Spurs had beat the Trail Blazers in there last series. The Spurs are old and slow and I don't think have any chance of beating the Thunder but that is just my opinion. I'd like to know what you think about the Clippers and Thunder series or your predictions on the Thunder and Spurs series.

Carmelo Anthony and the Knicks

With the Knicks at a record of 33-43 they have yet to clinch a playoff spot. With Melo carrying the team averaging 28 points a game, second in the NBA behind Kevin Durant he is the main ingredient to the Knicks success. The Knicks have had many issuess throughout the season with people hurt like Amar'e Stoudemire being out with ankle injuries for a long period during the season. Also losing Raymond Felton due to gun charges. One positive the Knicks have is there new pick up they got this season, Tim Hardaway Jr. Tim has been a good add to this team. He plays the point and is very good at it. He can shoot, pass, dribble and also most important he can defend. Throughout the year Tim has earned his place on this team. He has also earned respect from his teammates and also from the league. I think that the Knicks are a very good team and should make the playoffs and go very far. Honestly I think that the Knicks can make it to the championship and if they get a good matchup they can easily win with all of there kill. They can shoot from the perimeter and they also have good big guys that can score from the inside. Please comment and give your thoughts on this.

Playoffs coming soon!

So far there are many teams fighting to make it into the playoffs. On the other hand some people are trying to fight there way out. Some teams are on the bubble and are trying to loose to get a better lottery pick in the draft. With the top two players coming out in Wiggins and Parker teams are fighting to try and get the top two or three pick. There are other teams that have there mind set on making the playoffs and know what there plan is for the next few years. Then there are a few teams that are already going strong and in the playoffs like the Heat.
        The Heat are already in the playoffs and are just trying to rest up now. Like Lebron, Wade, Bosh and there other starters and key players are now resting and limiting there playing time and also in doing that they are lowering there risk of getting hurt and not being able to play in the playoffs.
         Teams like the celtics are trying to get better but also loose. They are doing this so they can get a better pick in the draft. They are doing pretty well doing this. They are loosing and there chances of getting the number 2 or 3 picks in the draft are getting higher. There are also other things going on with team. Like Jeff Green who is showcasing his talents to find a team that might be intrested in him and he is intrested in. They might pay him more and may be a championship team next year with his contract comin up.
      Please coment anything, suggestions, arguments, I'm for it all!

Thunder struggling with Westbrook back

Are the Thunder better off without Westbrook. Russell Westbrook has been back for 7 games and their record is 3 - 4. I think they are better off without him if they could get a new point guard that can distribute the ball to Durant more. Having two guys that want to score on one team can help in one ways, but for this team it doesn't. Just like when they got rid of James Hardon and people thought it was a bad idea it turned out good. So if they can get rid of Westbrook for someone like Rondo or another point guard that can pass, has good court vision and is willing to work with Durant and get him the ball and lead the team to a championship.
    I think that the Thunder have one of if not the best player in the NBA with Kevin Durant. Durant is an all around great player. He can shoot with almost unlimited range, he can pass very well, he can defend guards and big guys because he is so tall and long and strong. He is also an amazing dunker. He has some of the best dunks I have ever seen done. He also does this all just at the age of 25.

Lebron or Batman?

Last week against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Leborn James broke his nose during the game. He made his return last night with a win over the New York Knicks 108-82. But he came back wearing a black mask looking more like batman than himself, will this be a new look for a while or maybe longer?
