my "starting 5" favorite NBA teams

Team why

1. Warriors My home team.

2. Cavs Exciting to watch LeBron James fire up the young Cavs.

3. Thunder Russell Westbrook is exciting to watch (he went to UCLA)

4. Timberwolves Kevin Love is on the Timberwolves (also went to UCLA)

5. Nets Brook Lopez is their 7 foot center (he went to Stanford)


"Sixth Man": Lakers Jordan Farmar from UCLA is on their team

jrue holiday: one and done or super soph?

JRUE HOLIDAY, SG, #21, UCLA, FRESH.
SHOULD HE GO PRO?


Jrue Holiday was a top five recruit out of high school last year. He wasn't as impressive in his Freshman year as former bruin Kevin Love was. Yet, he still put his name in the draft. This is not his final decision though. He didn't hire an agent, which means that he could at any point take his name out of the draft. One of the reasons that he might not have done as well as people might have thought is the fact that it was Darren Collison and Josh Shipp's Senior year-- their last year to shine. If Jrue stays in school, he might be able to shine as UCLA's number 1 lead player. If he goes pro, he will be drafted (most likely in the middle of the first round) and will be able to start his pro career early. This would give him more time to build on his career and be a better player in the NBA.

Personally, (as a UCLA fan) I would like him to stay. But the choice is all his.

NBA Playoff Predictions

Lakers: The Lakers will beat the Rockets in game 7 and will move on to the Western Conference Finals against the Denver Nuggets. This series will be close, but the Lakers have too much height and talent advantage to lose to the Nuggets.
The Lakers will win the Western Conference Finals 4-2 and will advance to the Championships against the Cavs. The Lakers will lose to the Cavs in that series 4-2.

Rockets: The Rockets will lose to the Lakers in game seven.

Nuggets: Denver has already advanced to the Western Conference Finals. They don't have the depth of a roster that the Lakers do, so they will lose to the lakers, 4-2 in the series.

Magic: Orlando will beat the Celtics in game 7, and advance to the Eastern Conference finals. They will meet LeBron James and his Caveliers, and Orlando will lose that series 4-1.

Celtics: The Celtics will lose to Orlando in game 7.

Caveliers: Cleveland has already advanced to the Eastern conference Finals. They will play against the Magic of Orlando, and beat the Magic (with the help of the Cavs' MVP's outstanding plays) 4-1.
They will then meet the Lakers in the Championship Series. The Cavs had the best regular season record this year, and it will be and (so far) has been no different in the Playoffs. The Cavs will beat the Lakers 4-2 to win it all and bring back a championship to Cleveland.

Last Year's Championship Teams

The Lakers and the Celtics are last year's Championship teams. But this year they are struggling in the second round of the playoffs.

The Lakers:
They are led by Kobe and have a great offense. But when the Lakers have scored less than 100 points in this year's playoffs, they haven't won a game. Their defense needs improvement if they want to stay in the playoffs.

The Celtics:
Without Kevin Garnett, the Celtics are inconsistant. They haven't really dominated a game in either of the two rounds so far. Paul Pierce and Ray Allen need to step up their leadership if they want to beat the Magic.

Caveliers unbeaten after 8 games and the Eastern Conference Finals

The Cavs, led by the 24 year old MVP LeBron James, are undeafeated in the Playoffs so far. They have swept both the Atlanta Hawks and the Detroit Pistons. Next up for this seemingly unbeatable team is the winner of today's game (the series is tied 3-3) between the Orlando Magic and the Boston Celtics, in Boston. The Celtics have shown some weaknesses in their first two series by losing. This is mostly because one of their star players, Kevin Garnett, has been out with an injury. I predict that the Orlando Magic will win in a close game, and go on to play the outstanding Cleveland team in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Dallas Rookie camp collapses

The Dallas Cowboys' Rookie camp fell over in extreme winds yesterday. Some of the coaches were hurt.

Michael Oher

He was drafted in the first round of the 2009 NFL draft to the Ravens, out of Ole Miss. He is an Offensive Lineman. Michael Oher grew up homeless in the wrong side of town in Tennessee. His dad died and his mom was a drug addict. Then this family was driving around this area and adopted him off the street. He has been very gratefull that this family has turned his life around, and their love for Michael and his dedication and hard work to football has paid off: he was drafted into the NFL.

I heard that a movie about Michael Oher was going to be made.
