Playoffs, playoffs

Indiana Pacers
Vs
Boston Celtics

Really hate this matchup both play hard, but Boston is fill with talent. They might lose game 1, but not the series. At every starter position there is a potential all star or rising star. Boston chemistry will win or lose the series. I look for matchups at each position. I start with starters, than the bench and lastly the coach. Intangibles usually balance itself out.

The Pacers are well coached, methodical positive team. However, basketball is about wills and who can push there will further. This time Boston is a little too hard.

Oklahoma Thunder
Vs.
Portland Trail blazers

Let's do the damn thing,  a 2nd round matchup in the 1st round. Wow, what else can you ask for? Matchup wise Thunder is a heavy favorite, but Wild Wild Westbrook is the X-factor.  If he can control the game or his game they will be just fine. But, when he decided to be everything than he is not challenging his guys to be better. Teammates probably thinking (Oh, Russ got it) and Russ don't always have it. Leadership is not always just setting a example, its sometimes teaching others there role. If Russ can do that it will make his job that much easier. Also, easier to win a ring.

The too late lake show

What are we talking about here - crying, there's no crying in basketball.  I'm sure all know Earvin 'Magic' Johnson have stepped down as president of basketball operations for the LA Lakers. Whoa, is this happening one of the best to ever play the game quitting. No, Magic couldn't get his way so is bowing out. Rob Pelinka,  Jeanie Buss and the Best PG ever  couldn't see eye to eye.  From my understanding Rob wanted more input on team decisions and Magic wanted him gone or a fresh start from the top down.  Just another power struggle, but Magic wanted to take the attention from the big changes that the Lakers have to make during the draft and off season.

Whoa that's Amazing

Russell Westbrook is amazing 20 points 20 rebounds and 20 assists.  Mr. WB is the TD (triple double) God, now he times it by 2, he's that dude. Now he had good reasons to put up those numbers. In tribute to an reformed gangster that was violently killed, WB had a Babe Ruth moment. Westbrook invision he will get a 20/20/20 game. How sick is that, but here the real. During the game while the  Lakers were trying to win the game WB was on the bench and Thunder lead was disappearing timeout was called. I'm thinking that coach Donovan going to teach the young guys how to handle this situation if it ever come up in the playoffs. Oh, I was so wrong, brought back in WB. I'm feeling; why he have his triple double this is time for rest for the older players and build resolve for the younger guys. Then I realized nothing has changed, it's still Westbrook team and he wants to show stats, not rings. Kobe never received a Pippen and Paul George is way better offensively, so how is WB is still taking more shots than everyone else on the team.

Hey, I'm back

I know, I know I'm late for the contest, but it's my opinion and I'm ready to give it. When I write it's from the opinions that I hear from the professionals; from different players, show/radio hosts and even YouTubers.

Soon, I'm bringing a podcast on YouTube and Public Access Television. Believe it, forward and upward.  Nothing off limits, All NBA, all the time. NBA top trivia also coming soon. Watch out, I'm coming.

It's been a long time and I have not been on my game. So much have pass and I need to get this off my chest. My thoughts on Grape Pubron James trying to recruit Carmelo Anthony to Miami is pathetic. Carmelo is about his paper and his legacy in New York would be legendary if he stay and win one. That championship be better than all Miami's chips put together. Everyone knows how long NY been without a ring and I hope NY change that trend. But, that curse of trading Walt Clyde Frazier may never end. I teach cause so many reach and its time for me to blow your mine one more time with some predictions. MELO staying cause you know he about his paper. Kevin Love not going anywhere until the trading deadline, the T- wolves never handled stars well. Isaiah Rider, Christian Laether, Kevin Garnett and Wesley Johnson all top ten draft picks who either didn't stick around or became better when they left the Wolves. Kevin is a interesting character he's in more commercials than Tim Duncan,Paul George and Stephen Curry combine, but he needs more respect. Ricky Rubio say he not a good leader,well Kevin Love leads the team in almost every category,but he find a way to alienate his teammates. That's a quarry maybe Rubio said this about Love so no one would trade for him. A good way to keep your teammate home. Let's be real nobody in life want to play in Minnesota and with Love wanting to leave so does your chance of signing someone to come there.

Decisions,decisions

Carmelo Anthony is not going anywhere, cause like most people he all about his paper. In my opinion definitely top five or ten matters who you ask. But, no question he destroys whoever he is in front of nightly, cause he don't show up for afternoon games. But, I digress Phil Jackson is right and wrong about Melo taking less ,it would add a max player to the team. Melo is definitely a number one, but without being a player who knows who to pass the ball to before receiving it - is wishing for rings not wearing them.

Just went all Nets

The Nets are going to be dangerous with Paul Pierce,Kevin Garnett,Jason Terry and Andre Kirlenko. Brooklyn have starters and a bench, nobody wants to see them in the playoffs. Once chemistry builds its going to tough to stop
any one person on the team. My worries might be unselfishness in the beginning,but that will take time.

Teams are afraid and abash that they didn't take the same risk
Brooklyn took. At any rate, many teams are waiting for 2014 to take a shot at the KING and MELO. Can be the KING and MELO show for a number of teams, who didn't sign anyone this summer. Everyone knows the Lakers and Cleveland, some other teams are the Bulls,Pacers who many players coming off the books in 2014.Philly who have no chance and stated that they are looking to 2014 draft.

Next time, I will give my top ten players by position. If you disagree comment I love the hate, it what sustain me.
