The NFL Draft: The 49ers: Anquan Boldin

The wide receiver from the Ravens Anquan Boldin was traded to the 49ers. This is a great opportunity for the 49ers because they just got a great wide receiver under their sleeve. And now they are stacked with great players. I believe that after this we will win the Superbowl. There is no team that can beat the 49ers. LETS GO 49ers!

Even though the 49ers had great players such as Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, Colin Kaepernick, and etc. it should of been more than enough for the team to win, they didn't work as hard. But this year coming they will be ready to go to the Super Bowl again but win this time.

The Miami Heat

              The question is will the Miami Heat be undefeated for the rest of the season. The answer is no. As you saw last nights, game the Miami Heat lost to the Chicago Bulls. It was a great win for the Bulls but an upsetting loss for the Miami Heat. But just losing to the Bulls doesn't mean that they have to give up and lose their upcoming games. They won 27 consecutive games but thats not all. They are looking they are trying to accomplish something bigger then that which is the championship.
              I think the Miami Heat is made up of great young athletes that know how to play the game. If they are down by 20 they will not give up and keep on playing until they win the game. The Miami Heat are consisted of three great players that led the Heat to win the 2011-2012 NBA Championships King James, Dwade, and Chris Bosh. Nothing stops them from playing they push and persuade aech other to keep on playing their hardest. If the Miami Heat didn't consist of these three stars LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh the NBA would be lame..
             

Kansas City Jayhawks





        Kansas City Jayhawks are clutch, they have turned the score around during Sunday's game against North Carolina Tar heels. Kansas had and amazing win over Western Kentucky in the round of 64. They have the most turnovers in the history of the  NCAA tournament, yet they are still capable of winning the championship. They are ready to face Michigan State in the sweet sixteen during their next matchup.

Hi-res-164567732_crop_650x440

   I think the Jayhawks will win the NCAA tournament because they have the best chemistry in college basketball. They are really good at working together as a team. Jayhawks are currently trying to figure out how they'll win the next matchup against Michigan State.

Minnesota Gophers Dismiss Tubby Smith



Tubby Smith Gets Fired 


               The Minnesota Gophers fired Tubby smith on monday a day after the loss to Florida last Sunday. The Athletics director Norwood Teague announced on Monday the decision and said its time for a fresh set of eyes on the program. Tubby Smith was 124-81 (.610) in his 6 season with Minnesota.  



              My opinion on Tubby Smith getting fired as the head coach of the Minnesota Golden Gophers is that I think it's good because we get a fresh set of eyes. Also I think it's bad because Tubby Smith is a veteran coach and knows what he's doing. He know what plays to run in a tight contest. Also he knows what players play hard and when to put them in the game.






FGCU: From Underdog to Top Dog


 Florida Gulf Coast Universtiy; ever heard of them? Probably not. This little school that is located in Fort Meyers Florida is taking the NCAA Toutrnament by storm. The FGCU Eagles are now known as "Dunk City" in most parts of the world outside of Fort Myers. So far the Eagles have knocked off 8th seeded Georgetown (not shocking, seeing that no matter how strong Georgetown is they always lose in the first round) and 7th seeded San Deigo State University.

 Florida Gulf Coast University was Founded in 1997, and was admitted to the NCAA Division I only 6 years ago. This is their first year in the NCAA tourney. So far both teams that they have knocked out of the tournament have future NBA star loaded rosters: Otto Porter, Georgetown's alley-oop throwing, acrobatic finisher, and San Deigo State sharp shooter Jaamal Franklin. Both wins are attributed to point guard Brett Comer and shooting guard Sherwood Brown. We'll have to watch how effective they can be against their in-state rivals in the sweet Sixteen.

The Wizards give it to the Lakers, "Defense"?

     A loss to the Washington Wizards? Yup, they did it again. Another loss for the Lakers. It's amazing how bad confidence can kill when you least expect it. The Wizards took advantage of the low performance the Lakers presented, especially with defence. What's even more shocking is the score, losing by 3 on 103-100 game. Close games are always the most painful ones. The Wizards actually lost over 40 games so far, which puts them below the Lakers, their win against Lakers kept them in the league. However, they still have no chance for the play-offs. Although this might be true, John Wall is showing his strong plays to give them all the wins they have.

     I would say that the Lakers lost because of Kobe's injury, but injuries doesn't affect your choices in position movement. A lot of people say that he might have not put all his effort in the game because he has an excuse. I personally think otherwise, because it seemed like he was running up and down like he was more frustrated than trying his best. His defensive choices were extremely poor to the point where he was even switched! Not the Kobe I know. Injuries may affect the way he does his physical movements, but certainly not the strategies he was trying.














OKC Chances

OKC is the second seed in the Western Confrence and have 52 wins. They're one game behind the Spurs with 53 wins and four behind the Miami Heat. OKC has secured a spot in the Playoffs. If the Playoffs started today they would've faced the Rockets and won according to recent matchups between these two teams.

I think that OKC will win the championship this year because they're full of young players and have a lot of talent.They have Kevin Durant who is a 3-time scoring champion and 3-time member of the All NBA First Team and 4-time all star. Being a young team and making the Finals was exciting and nervous and that's partially why they lost.





THE BOSTON CELTICS




THE BOSTON CELTICS THROUGHOUT BASKETBALL HISTORY HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE BEST TEAMS EVER. THEY ARE NOT DOING AS GOOD AS THEY COULD BE. THEY HAVE A NICE LINE UP EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE STILL RECOVERING FROM  RAY ALLEN LEAVING THEM.

WHEN GARNET WAS ASKED ABOUT HOW HE FEELS ABOUT RAY ALLEN LEAVING HE SAID," I don't have his number anymore." And Allen said,"That's a shame," after the Heat practiced Saturday. "I'm a good person to talk to on the phone." On a serious note, Allen said, "I'm not really worried about it."

GOOD LUCK CELTICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

OHIO STATE BUCKEYES ARE ON A ROLL

Aaron Craft and the Ohio State basketball team may have had the defining moment of the NCAA tournament’s opening weekend that didn’t involve a team from the Gulf Coast of Florida, but it’s time to move forward toward the ultimate goal of reaching the Final Four.The Ohio State basketball team is making it a mission to ensure there are no more nails remaining among Buckeye Nation by the time this tournament is over.
Standing in the way is the Arizona Wildcats of the Pac-12, arguably the most talented team on the entire West Coast. Former Thad Matta assistant Sean Miller has the program humming again, and he would love nothing more than to dispatch his former boss in the Sweet 16 (even if they are still friends).What do the Buckeyes have to do to ensure this doesn’t happen and earn a trip to the Elite Eight against either upstart La Salle or Wichita State? They beat the Iowa State Cyclones 75-78. Ohio State are going off.

Chicago Bulls

The Chicago bulls are doing good over all in their games that they played so far in this season without Derrick rose. With a consistent win of 36 games and with a consistent lose of 30 games. with the playoffs coming up they need derrick rose to come back. So that they can make to the playoffs.with him still recovering it is heard for him to come and play a regular games for the bulls.

OKC (35)

Some facts about the Okalahoma City Thunder is that they're a young team and were at the NBA championships last year. This year they're second in the West Confrence a game behind the Spurs and are third overall. With Kevin Durant  leading the league with points I think that if him and Westbrook keep playing like this then we can win the Championship this year.

Falcons

I think the falcons will win the Superbowl next year because they have a good defense. As for the offense, they got Steven Jackson in the running back position. Tony Gonzalez also came back for one year. For their opponent I think they will face the Broncos at the MetLife Stadium next year. This time Matt Ryan better win it for us! I think they will beat the Broncos because we have a better team overall, after all we have a young quarterback and a better coach. Let's go Falcons!

Miami Heat.. Can the Lakers keep up?

Its astonishing to see how well Kobe and Lebron are doing the last two years of their career. Both with fans all across the world that just loves to compare the two. The word around the world is, how is it gonna go down this year. with Miami Heat a lot better than the lakers. 52-14 for Heats and 36-33 for Lakers. Clearly, the heats are unstoppable. The Lakers fans wish they can say the same about their team, but sadly they are averaging close to 50% losses in their team.

Sadly, I am also the Lakers fan. But still, there is hope and opportunity for them on the long run, even though the play offs are coming closer. Kobe is injured! his ankle sprained, and now 2 games so far that bthe team played without him.

Lebron isn't doing it alone, he of course has D Wade helping him get to his destination along with the team. Taking Miami at the top so far, and giving all the other teams fear they can't resist.

Kyrie Erving




                                                                   
          

         Kyrie Irving was born on March 23, 1990. He is an Australian-American NBA player. He currently plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers. He started as a point guard for Duke University as a freshmen before being selected as the 1st overall pick in the 2011 NBA draft by cleveland. He won the NBA Rookie of the Year Award in 2012. Kyrie also won the 2013 3-point shootout in the NBA All Star Weekend at Houston, Texas.

   I think Kyrie Irving will be the best player in the league in a few years. He will win many more awards throughout his career as a professional NBA player. He will probably win a championship for his team in the upcoming seasons.




THE GOLDEN STATEWORRIOR'S

THE GOLDEN STATE WORRIOR'S

The golden stae are doing preaty good this season so far in they won more then they lost  this season they

have been doing okay since they lost monte ellis but stephen curry still hasent given up on them he avrages

21 points a game whitch is awsome and his brother is also graduating from duke just like him and comming

Minnesota Golden Gopher


The Gophers have made the NCAA Tournament three times under Tubby Smith.


Minnesota Golden Gopher  

The Minnesota Gophers had the toughest schedules in the NCAA. The Gophers basketball team get there first NCAA berth since 2010. The Gopher record was 20-12 and were granted to enter the NCAA tournment as a number 11 seed and will face nummber 6 seed UCLA on Friday at Frank Erwin Event Center in Austin Texas. This is Minnesota 9th NCAA Tournament Berth and third apperances in the Tubby Smith Era. The ironic thing was in 2010 Minnesota entered the Tournament as a 11 seed and faced a number 6 seed and lost to the number 6. 



Miami Heat

   Miami Heat is the best team in the league. So far they have 23 consecutive wins. Lebron and the Heat are looking for to winning another championship. In order to win the finals the team has to work together in order to acheive what they want. Lebron is having the best season in his entire career. LETS GO HEAT.....

INDIANA PACERS ROAD TO PLAYOFFS

As you can see Danny Granger is still out and Paul George is carrying the burden. He has been carrying them on his back along side, Roy Hibbert, George West and Hansborough. They have 42-26 record and they are second after the 23 game winning-streak Miami Heat. The Pacers outrebounded the Magic, 63-42, in their victory Tuesday night. It was the fourth time this season that the Pacers had at least 20 more rebounds than their opponent. That matches the most such games in one season in the Pacers' NBA history. They also had four games in which they had at least 20 more rebounds than their opponent in 1992-93. Paul George scored 19 points and Tyler Hansbrough had 14 points and 14 rebounds, leading the Indiana Pacers to a 95-73 rout of the struggling Orlando Magic.
