Chelsea FC – Fernando Torres is Always the Wrong Choice
All the flair and creativity in the world coming from Oscar, Juan Mata and Eden Hazard can’t be enough on their weaker matches, which can be expected in this never ending season for Chelsea, can’t make up for a striker that seems lost, dazed & confused on 90% of his appearances.

Stephen Curry & Klay Thompson Break Curses For Golden State Warriors
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.

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.

NBA Playoffs – Warriors vs Spurs Game 2 Predictions
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.

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.

Kevin Durant Doesn’t Make Thunder Better Than Grizzlies
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.

Carmelo Anthony Finally Looks Like a Leader for the Knicks
Size can only be taken advantage of when you play on it. The Indiana Pacers stopped trying to make the most of their physical advantages over the New York Knicks in the final quarter of game 2 in their semifinal series, and were punished by Carmelo Anthony at his absolute best and most explosive, while the rest of his teammates followed the lead in one of the most devastating fourth quarter runs in recent memory.
