On The Watch “It’s All About 2013 NBA Champs The Miami Heat “

There is a reason why teams work so hard to finish with the best record for the season in the NBA; that is for when the time comes and you actually make it to the playoffs and end up in the finals with a Game 7 on the line “The House” will carry you over to the finish line. The HEAT did just that last night and that was “DEFENDING THE HOUSE AT ALL COST” The HEAT captured their first Back 2 Back title and LeBron his second NBA Finals MVP.

I tip my “B” hat to them Boys in Miami cause them Dudes came to play. This series was no “Cake Walk”, the Spurs gave them all they could but going against “The House” and the 3 Headed Monsters was just too much for them to handle. It was a HELL of series from Game I to the final deciding Game 7.

I congratulate the Miami Heat team for stepping up to the plate and defending their Championship like true winners they are. This was definitely a second title well earned.

What is the significance of your name and how did you get that name?
I got my name back in the day when I was playing Ball on them courts in my college days. They use to say that I was BLAZIN IT UP whenever I step on the court so that name just stuck with me cause I do the same when I’m on them “12′s”

Describe your style?

My style might be different from the norm considering I don’t like to scream and shout on the mic…I like to let my music do the talking for me. I’m pretty versatile on them “12′s” and I can “bob and weave” with the best of them when it comes to the music game. I try not to stay in a box and keep things moving depending on the vibe or the city I’m in.

What was the first record you start scratching and mixing on the turntables?
First off I’m not a trick DJ, that’s not my thing but REAL TALK! my first record I started scratching with was Audio Two’s Top Billin…that beat on that track was just ridiculous…

On The Watch “It’s All About NBA Finals”

 

The 2 teams that will be representing their respective coast in the NBA Finals this year were now decided. Representing the West Side will be the 4 times defending Champs The San Antonio Spurs. Fresh off a 4 games clinic of the Memphis Grizzlies, this Spurs team has once again defied father time and re positioned themselves has the team to beat. REAL TALK! The way they’ve approached each game in these playoffs with such poise and discipline is straight up intimidating (if you ask me). These kats are for real and their game does all the talking for them.

Representing the East Side will be last years defending Champs The Miami Heat. Straight from a game 7 trashing of the No. 1 defensive team in Indiana Pacers, the HEAT have once again reaffirmed why they are one of the best defensive teams in the league PERIOD! Indiana simply couldn’t match the HEAT’s intensity and their aggressive play, but don’t expect the same predicament from the Spurs come this Thursday night June 6, 2013, cause these Dudes in San Antonio play hard through-out the whole 48 minutes. REAL TALK! This year’s Finals will definitely be a must see T.V.

Who will be the last team standing when all is said and done?

On The Watch “It’s All About 2013 NBA CONFERENCE FINALS”

NBA CONFERENCE FINALS

The NBA’s version of their Final 4 is about to start. The 2 teams representing the West Side in the Western Conference Finals this year is the No.2 seeded San Antonio Spurs and the fifth-seeded Memphis Grizzlies. I have to tip my “B” hat to them Boys at Memphis cause these Dudes came to play. The way they dismantled the L.A. Clippers in the first round and then they out-hustled and eliminated the No. 1 seeded Oklahoma City in five games in the second round, shows me that these Dudes are seriously thinking NBA Finals. REAL TALK! They have a well grounded Team orientate with an old school swagg that matches up very well with the 4 times defending Champs San Antonio Spurs, now its about defining who will be the chosen one to represent the West in the NBA Finals come June!

The 2 teams representing the East Side in the Eastern Conference Final this year is the No. 1 seeded defending NBA Champs Miami Heat and the 3rd seeded Indiana Pacers. I can’t front on them Dudes from Miami cause with only 1 lost between the first and second round combine, clearly shows me just how dominant and tight their game is. REAL TALK! Awaiting the Heat though is a hungry and determine Pacer team with a SERIOUS chip on their shoulders. The Heat eliminated the Pacers last May in the semifinals 4-2, with that being said the Indiana players are still choked over that series, therefore this rematch will most likely be quite exciting to see just how the Pacers plan on dethroning the defending Champs and take hold of that final spot in representing the East in the NBA Finals come June!

Let the Final 4 of the NBA Begin!!!

NBA Playoffs 2013

The first round of the NBA Playoffs is officially over and teams that were predicted to move to the second round all folded to a disappointing finish. Houston, Denver, Lakers, Clippers, Milwaukee, Boston, Atlanta and Brooklyn, will all have some serious team reconstructions to do over the summer?

Injuries to key players undeniably played a BIG factor into this years NBA season period. The first round of the Playoffs saw an end to an era and old rivalries decimated to this “New World Order” that the NBA as unleashed in the Playoffs. Now the question remains, which one of these teams will fold and rebuild or stick to their original Blue Print?

The summer of 2013 will unquestionably be an important one concerning any one of these teams. Let the Conference finals begin!

NBA Playoffs

It’s that time of the year again to show up or go home early REAL TALK! Any way you want to spin it, this year’s basketball season was a HELL of a surprise to me. REAL TALK! I would have never predicted the All-star Squad that the Lakers possessed this year would have been walking into the Western Conference playoffs as a seven seed or that my beloved Celtics would have been crawling their way into the playoffs in the eighth and final spot in the Eastern Conference. (Unreal!!) True say; uncontrolled injuries to key players definitely played a SERIOUS factor in this year’s season but if there’s one thing I can’t front on is the Miami Heat and their 3 Headed Monsters.

Them Dudes dominated through out the whole season REAL TALK! Their 27-Game winning streak put the league on notice that this year’s playoff is going to be EPIC. Them Dudes over there in Miami are looking HUNGRY for that O’Bryan Trophy. REAL TALK! Now the Million Dollar question is “Who is going to dethrone the Heat in their Quest to recapture that elusive peace of Gold?” Tune in to The NBA Playoffs, which are set to start this Saturday April 20, 2013.
