2013 NBA Champions: The Miami Heat

Yesterday, the Miami Heat played the San Antonio Spurs in a crucial game. It was game 7 of the NBA Finals. The winner got a huge trophy and the loser got nothing more than a pat on the back. Game 6 was about to end with the Spurs winning the championship when the Heat came back and Ray Allen hit a 3-pointer to win the game. In Game 7, the Heat were winning almost the whole game and ended up winning 95-88. LeBron James was the 2013 NBA Finals MVP.

This was an amazing NBA season. With the Clippers' streak of 17 straight wins and the Heat's streak of 27 straight wins, and more, there were many great teams. Also, there were lots of amazing plays by people like Kyrie Irving, LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, Tony Parker, Tim Duncan, Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, Chris Paul, and more. This upcoming draft class is horrible. Nerlens Noel from Kentucky is expected to be the first pick, and his team didn't even make it to the NCAA Tournament.

LeBron has 4 MVP awards and 1 Rookie of the Year award. He won the NBA championship last year and has Game 7 which is a win the championship or go home situation against the Spurs tonight.



Kobe Bryant Injured

Last night Kobe Bryant was injured in the Los Angeles Lakers game. He was going to play all 48 minutes but he got injured with 3:08 left in the game. This is very upsetting for the Lakers as they have 2 games left in the season. They are only 1 game ahead of the Jazz for the final spot in the West for the playoffs. Players such as Lebron James, Chris Paul, and Matt Barnes have tweeted about the injury and hope that Kobe gets better. Kobe is expected to have an Achilles tear.

The Los Angeles Clippers: Edition 2

As most of you have probably heard, the Heat won the NBA Finals on Thursday. The Clippers defeated the Memphis Grizzlies in seven games in the first round. I was at game four. The Clippers won game four in overtime to get a 3-1 series lead over the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies won games five and six only to be knocked out of the playoffs by the Clippers in game seven. In game one, the Clippers were down 27 with about eight minutes left in the fourth quarter and came back to win. The Clippers would be eliminated from the playoffs by the Spurs in the next round in four games. The Spurs would lose to the Thunder in the next round. The Heat defeated the Thunder on Thursday for the NBA championship.



The Los Angeles Clippers: Edition 1

I will start doing a post about the Clippers at least once a week. In this edition I will tell you about Nick Young. The Clippers got him yesterday from the Washington Wizards. He is a great shooting guard. It will be great for the Clippers because he will probably start. He has no NBA awards from his career, but if he did I would list them.

NBA Polls

Since summer is starting, and the Mavericks won the NBA Finals, I thought I would see who you like in three different categories. The first category is your favorite current NBA player. Next, is your favorite all-time NBA player. Last, is your favorite NBA team.

Here is the poll about your favorite current player:

Clippers vs. Mavericks

Last Wednesday, I went to a basketball game. The Los Angeles Clippers played against the Dallas Mavericks. When the first quarter ended the Clippers were winning 28-23. After the first half the Mavericks were winning 48-46. The Mavericks were winning 75-70 after the third quarter. The final score was Mavericks 106, Clippers 100. How many points did each team score in the third quarter? J.J Barea from the Mavericks scored 22 points, grabbed 2 rebounds, had 6 assists, and took away 2 steals. Blake Griffin from the Clippers scored 25 points, grabbed 17 rebounds, got 3 assists, and took away 3 steals.

Here is a picture of me at the Clippers game:

NBA Allstar Jam

On February 19, I went to the NBA Allstar Jam. The NBA is the biggest basketball league in North America! At the NBA Allstar Jam there are a bunch of games and things to look at. Some of the things to look at are basketball games, the basketball hall of fame, video games, and stuff in the shop. Their are people who sign autographs there. I got an autograph from Wesley Johnson. They gave out a bunch of cards. The cards were my favorite card brand called Panini. Panini sells basketball, football and hockey cards. My dad and I saw the NBA D-league allstar game. The NBA D-league is for basketball players who are not good enough to play in the NBA.

Here are some pictures from the NBA D-league allstar game:

Those are pictures from when no one was shooting or slam dunking.

Lakers vs. Warriors

On November 21, I went to a Lakers game. They were playing against the Golden State Warriors. We had special parking, but it still took a long time to get there because they were just ending the MTV music awards and the L.A auto show was starting near the Staples Center. My dad got us great seats because he got them from the company he works for. At the game, we saw my dad's friend Albert. Albert sat right next to us with his friend. At the end of the first quarter, the score was something like 30-17 Lakers. After the second quarter, it was about 60-30 Lakers. When the third quarter was over, it was around 80-55. At the end of the game, the Lakers won by about 30 points. In my opinion, a reason the Warriors lost was because they were fooling around before the game. I think another reason was because David Lee was hurt. The Lakers got over 100 points so I got 2 free tacos from Jack in the Box and my dad got two free tacos from Jack in the Box. It was also Chick Hearn day so we each got our very own Chick Hearn paperweights! Here is a picture of me at the Lakers game:
