Chris Bosh Game Winner

Miami Heat – Chris Bosh Steps Out of the Shadows With Game Winner

Posted on 1 Apr, 2013, by in Basketball

Before deciding to take his talents to South Beach and join forced with Dwyane Wade and LeBron James, there were quite a few who called Chris Bosh the best power forward in the NBA. It’s easy to forget just how good he is if given the reins to lead an offense, but without the two bigger stars on the floor, the Miami Heat did just that, and were repaid with a game winning shot that people forgot Bosh can pull off.

Chicago Bulls – Luol Deng Keep a Rivalry Streak Going

Posted on 1 Apr, 2013, by in Basketball

Fighting, defending and hustling to somehow improve and maybe upgrade their NBA playoffs starting spot, the Chicago Bulls are clawing their way towards home advantage in the first series, as Luol Deng becomes more and more offensively dominant and efficient, something that should have happened earlier this season.

NCAA Tournament – Louisville & Michigan Complete Final Four Picture

Posted on 1 Apr, 2013, by in Basketball

The 2013 Final Four was set up after the second day of the Elite Eight weekend, as the only number one seed left in the tournament, Louisville, used the Kevin Ware injury to push them way too far and high for Duke to catch up, while Michigan showed Florida that not having any sort of offensive initiative isn’t the way to succeed against them, winning by way more than anyone expected.

Kevin Ware Breaks Leg in the Most Horrible Way Possible

Posted on 1 Apr, 2013, by in Basketball

Regardless of what Louisville end up with in the NCAA Tournament, the most memorable moment of their run will be Kevin Ware breaking his leg and being carried off the court while teammates and head coach Rick Pitino can’t hold themselves back from shedding a tear in the face of a gruesome injury.

Elite Eight – Duke vs Louisville Predictions

Posted on 31 Mar, 2013, by in Basketball

A game that could have easily been the NCAA tournament’s final if the seeding was slightly different, Duke and Louisville provide us with the only number one vs number two game in the bracket, with Big East defense and all-around solid basketball stepping up to take down incredible shooting and underrated ACC defense.

Elite Eight – Michigan vs Florida Predictions

Posted on 31 Mar, 2013, by in Basketball

These two teams were expected to reach this stage in the NCAA tournament – Michigan held the number one spot in the nation earlier this season before some problems in winning tough road games appeared. Florida have one of the best defenses in the nation, but their inability to win close games makes you wonder of how just how good they really are. More

Los Angeles Lakers – Kobe Bryant Breaks Records While Being Awful

Posted on 31 Mar, 2013, by in Basketball

The most important thing? The Los Angeles Lakers won another game, on the road of all places, to stay in the race for the final ticket the NBA has to offer in the Western playoffs. Things of less importance all have to do with Kobe Bryant, not resting a single minute, moving up the NBA’s all time scoring list, shooting terribly from the field while posting assist numbers to make us think he’s a “team” player.

Utah Jazz – Randy Foye is Next to Keep Playoff Hopes Alive

Posted on 31 Mar, 2013, by in Basketball

All of a sudden, the Utah Jazz have guards, some would even call them point guards, that can score points and make a difference. Randy Foye had his best game of the season with a rare shooting night, while Mo Williams continued his late-season heroics, as the two are suddenly pushing a team that looked on the verge of an embarrassing collapse back into the NBA postseason picture.

Oklahoma City Thunder – Kevin Durant Makes Up for an Ugly Russell Westbrook Triple Double

Posted on 31 Mar, 2013, by in Basketball

Even when he posts a triple double, Russell Westbrook has to do it with some awful shooting numbers, showing just how much more work has to be done in regards of taming his offensive tendencies. The exact opposite might be said of Kevin Durant, the perfect scoring machine, about to win the scoring title despite not being the player taking the most shots on the Oklahoma City Thunder. More

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Kind of Basketball Without James Harden

Posted on 31 Mar, 2013, by in Basketball

While a lot of the success and ascent into a playoff team this season has to do with James Harden joining the Houston Rockets, the kind of basketball he forces the team to play doesn’t always benefit them and suit the rest of the players. This time, without him on the floor, Jeremy Lin didn’t break out into some memorable performance, but he was the anchor of a different, team-oriented game that might be more suitable for the Rockets’ needs.
