LeBron James Double Team

NBA Playoffs – Heat vs Bulls Game 3 Predictions

Posted on 10 May, 2013, by in Basketball

The Chicago Bulls haven’t lost Joakim Noah or Taj Gibson for their actions in Game 2, but it still doesn’t mean they’re in good shape. The Miami Heat haven’t enjoyed a lot of success in the windy city in recent years, but their demolition in the previous game without having to get the best out of LeBron James or Dwyane Wade has them feeling quite confident heading into the away leg of the series.

Golden State Warriors – Klay Thompson Does What Stephen Curry Couldn’t

Posted on 9 May, 2013, by in Basketball

Mark Jackson has been telling everyone that his young Golden State Warriors are a better team than the one they’re facing in the Western conference semifinals. After the first two games, it’s hard to disagree with him. Their game 2 win was a direct continuation of their dominance in the series opener, with Klay Thompson taking over the role of unstoppable shooter, while Stephen Curry went through the motions and a horde of different players guarding him.

Tim Duncan, Tony Parker

San Antonio Spurs – Tim Duncan Forgotten in the Fourth Quarter

Posted on 9 May, 2013, by in Basketball

While Tim Duncan isn’t having the easiest of time so far in the Western Conference semifinals, completely forgetting about the number one reason the San Antonio Spurs are four-time NBA champions in the fourth quarter might have been the biggest mistake Gregg Popovich, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili made in their game 2 loss.

You stay classy, Miami!

Chicago Bulls – Joakim Noah & Taj Gibson Might Cost Them the Series

Posted on 9 May, 2013, by in Basketball

Sometimes, teams fall apart, and they can’t avoid a huge loss. The Chicago Bulls, already shorthanded due to old and more recent injuries, might have to do without two more players, at least for the next game. Taj Gibson and Joakim Noah let the humiliation of being in the franchise’s biggest playoff loss ever get to them, not to mention some of the calls by the referees, getting themselves ejected, which might be costly in the long run.

Miami Heat – LeBron James Needs Only One Good Half

Posted on 9 May, 2013, by in Basketball

Revenge and evening the series on their minds, the Miami Heat went to work and early and got the job done quickly. LeBron James did all of his damage and scoring in the first half, leaving some of the best assists we’ve seen this postseason for the very long garbage time, while Ray Allen and others got a chance for the franchise to finish with their biggest playoff win ever.

Warriors Beat Spurs

Stephen Curry & Klay Thompson Break Curses For Golden State Warriors

Posted on 8 May, 2013, by in Basketball

It’s been 22 years since the Golden State Warriors won a second round playoff game on the road. It’s been 16 years since they last won in San Antonio against the Spurs. But these 2013 Warriors are different. Young, but they don’t play as such, especially not Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry, who were simply too much to handle for the favorites to win the Western Conference. More

Miami Heat Deal Chicago Bulls Their Worst Playoff Loss in History

Posted on 8 May, 2013, by in Basketball

It was clear the Miami Heat would be fired up in Game 2, but no one knew that the Chicago Bulls would stop playing near the end of the second quarter, losing in an embarrassing fashion (115-78), their worst defeat in postseason history, heading back to Chicago in a 1-1 tied series, as LeBron James didn’t even need to score in the second half.

Manu Ginobili Game Winner

NBA Playoffs – Warriors vs Spurs Game 2 Predictions

Posted on 8 May, 2013, by in Basketball

The first game in the Western conference semifinals series between the Golden State Warriors and the San Antonio Spurs provided us with two overtimes, an amazing performance from Stephen Curry and an even better finish from Manu Ginobili. Chances are we’re in for a letdown in terms of quality in game 2, but not by much. More

NBA Playoffs – Bulls vs Heat Game 2 Predictions

Posted on 8 May, 2013, by in Basketball

While there is a chance that the Chicago Bulls might have found the recipe to do what seemed impossible until a few days ago – beat the current Miami Heat team in a seven game series, there’s also the option of them awaking a slumbering dragon that didn’t win so many games during the second half of the season on sheer luck alone, and has responded quite well to being behind in a series over the last couple of seasons.

Grizzlies Thunder Game 2

Kevin Durant Doesn’t Make Thunder Better Than Grizzlies

Posted on 8 May, 2013, by in Basketball

Those who thought that on the merit of having Kevin Durant alone the Oklahoma City Thunder might be favorites in their series against the Memphis Grizzlies were proven wrong in the first game, and were probably fully convinced after game 2, in which the visitors stole home court with a convincing 99-93 win, dominating the fourth quarter through the fantastic Mike Conley and Marc Gasol.
