2015 NBA Finals Champs

It was written! It took The Golden State Warriors 83 Games from the start of the season to Game 6 of the NBA Finals 2015. 40 years in the making and today we celebrate Golden State’s first NBA Championship. This scripted journey was well crafted from start to finish. The No 1 Team in the league throughout the entire season. The rookie coach Steve Kerr guiding this Bay Area team straight into the Records Books with this Historic NBA Season.

These series were a testimony of just how bad The Warriors wanted it that much more from The Cleveland Cavaliers. Don’t get it twisted, I know that “King James” came to play judging by his insane NBA Finals average 36.6 points, 12.4 rebounds and 8.4 assists per Game. Dude was a machine on that court but when you are facing the No. 1 Defensive Team in the league with a depleted Cavaliers supporting cast, they were bound to run straight into a wall and Game 6 was just the case. The Cavs had no answer to The Warriors smart play down the stretch; hence this is why we stand here today congratulating Golden State for reaching their goal of becoming This Year 2015 NBA Finals Champions.

Until then The Larry O’Bryan Trophy will once again be vacationing in the West for the time being. REAL TALK!

This years’ “King Of The Court” for the season are The Golden State Warriors who won a franchise-record and league-best 67 games. REAL TALK!

From the jump of the season these groups of guys stayed focus and on track to be in this position. The Warriors rank 2nd in Offence rating and 1st on the Defensive side. Nuff said!

Owning that No. 1 Spot on the Westside is not an easy task cause any team from 2-8 competing in the West is capable of upsetting any team at any given time. Think about it for a second?? The Defending Champs of last years NBA finals The Spurs are coming in this year Playoffs at the No. 6th Spot, unreal but true when it comes to the Westside’s level of competition. REAL TALK!

Now when it comes to the Eastside, if there was ever to be a Cinderella team in the NBA this season The Atlanta Hawks would definitely fit the “Bill” The Hawks Started the season from the bottom and rose all the way to the top in a convincing manner. With their record of 60-22 The Hawks have unquestionably tilted the power shift on the Eastside.

The NBA—Who’s On Top?

We are officially passed the midpoint mark for the season with over 42 games played and at everyone’s surprise The EAST is experiencing a serious power struggle with some new and exiting faces running the show in a convincing manner. REAL TALK!

As I write this, the No. 1 spot belongs to The Atlanta Hawks (38-8). A team that no one anticipated to be good enough to run the show has been defying all odds and stating claim to that No 1 spot by bringing it each and every night to any team EAST/WEST who wants to tangle with them.

Not far behind we got our Team from up North The Toronto Raptors and the Washington Wizards who are still vying for that No. 1 Spot. Now who would have thought that these three teams would have been caught up in this scenario at this point in the season?

Now when it comes to the WESTSIDE. The shootout is still on and poppin over there. REAL TALK! I have to tip my “B” hat to them Boyz in Golden State for their play so far. They have kept that No. 1 Spot from the “JUMP”. And not just in the West but in the League PERIOD! (Percent wise) They are really trying to show all the naysayers that this (36-7) Team Record that they are running with in the WEST is as real as it gets.

Now I’ve said this before, in the West you can’t count any of the 8 seeded teams vying for a playoff spot out cause any one of them teams can catch a good steady run and snatch that No. 1 Spot at anytime. Injuries have stunted quite a few teams early but the second half of the season is where you either keep up to move up or bow down and step out the way. REAL TALK!

Keep Tuning in to see and appreciate the outcome of this season’s second half.

The NBA-Who’s On Top?

With only a quarter of the regular season down, one can’t front on the surprising rise of our own Canadian Team, The Toronto Raptors. (including me) This team from Up North is still flying high off last years NBA Season and leading the EAST right out the gate with a record of 16-6.

Good enough for the No. 1 seed in the EAST for now. The Eastern Conference has a whole is already doing better than last year around this time of the year. As I’m writing this, five Teams are already sitting above the 500 PCT mark. Now that’s definitely an improvement worth feeling positive about. REAL TALK!

With that being said the WESTSIDE still has a convincing hold over which side has the strongest coast. Leading the Western Conference this time around is the hot shooting Golden State Warriors with a league leading record of 19-2.

Holding on to that No. 1 seed will not be a cakewalk considering the Western Conference The Eastern Conferencealready has 10 Teams above 500 PCT. The Challenge presents itself to both Teams representing their respective coast to see if The Toronto Raptors or The Golden State Warriors is truly contender worthy. Only time will tell cause we still have lots of Ball to be played. Keep tuning In!!

NBA Season 2014/2015

The San Antonio Spurs have officially re-entered The NBA Finals Sweepstakes once again by capturing their 5 NBA Championship in a very convincing manner for year 2014. The newly crowned Defending Champs will have their work cut out for them in this upcoming 2014/2015 NBA Season. Attempting to duplicate last years near-perfect NBA Season will most likely be the motivation needed to maintain focus throughout this year NBA Season.

The task at hand will be a struggle and a challenge within itself considering just how strong the West keeps on elevating year after year. With all the trades and injuries occurring throughout the summer and the preseason, the balance of POWER still resides on the WESTSIDE!! REAL TALK!

Last season 7 teams in the West won 50 or more games then the East who only managed to have 2 teams with 50 or more wins. NUFF SAID! With the relocation of LeBron James BACK to Cleveland, the second comeback of a healthy Derrick Rose, a motivated Carmelo Anthony and the surprising rise of The Washington Wizards, The Charlotte Hornets and our own Canadian Team in The Toronto Raptors, I anticipate this years EASTSIDE’s win ratio PCT to improve dramatically.

The injury bug has already hit quite a few teams from the jump. The affected teams will feel the burn of it but injuries aside this NBA Season 2014/2015 will definitely be an interesting season to keep ours eyes and attention on and see who will benefit from all the Hollywood Shuffle that went on during the summer brake.

Tune in this Tuesday, October 28, 2014 for the beginning of another electrifying NBA Season!!

Antonio Spurs and the 2nd seeded Oklahoma City Thunders. The Old Schoolers vs The New School Era.

With that being said OKC aka the Young Gunna’s are also on a mission of their own.

The newly crowned NBA’s MVP now resides in OKC. Mr. Reliable Kevin Durant is that dude who is prime and ready to get over that hump. These core of players just might have the whole package; a young, athletic, skillful group of guys ready and loaded to stop the veterans Spurs from moving on to the Finals.

The Eastern Conference Finalist is a déjà vu of last year’s finalist but the difference this year poses is that the No. 1 seed are the Indiana Pacers and the No. 2 seed the defending NBA Champs Miami Heat.

The Pacers did what was needed of them through out the season to gain that No. 1 seed now its all about making sure that it was worth it by dethroning the Champs and advancing to the Finals. REAL TALK!

The Heat wants a Tree Peat under their belt and judging by there playoff run so far there 8-1 record is looking like they just might be on track to clean house. Now the question remains will they still have the juice to get pass a hungry team looking to avenge last years mishap??

The NBA-Who’s On Top?

We are officially passed the midpoint mark for the season with over 42 games played and still representing the EAST with their No. 1 Defensive team in the league, we have the Indiana Pacers leading in the far front with a team first mentality that’s been working wonders for them so far. The Pacers are clearly focus and determine to hold on to that No. 1 seed come playoff time. Their game is tight and their team well balanced with a discipline worthy of an NBA’s Finals showing.

Hopping to stunt their drive is The Defending Champs The Miami Heat. The “CROWN” still belongs to them even if they do look wounded at times; they still have the time and the experience to turn things around come playoff time. As for the remaining Eastern teams still gunning for a spot in the playoffs, 3 to 8 have yet to be concrete. Expect a dogfight for those spots to be filled.

Now for the Wild Wild West, it’s a whole different story. The West is deep and loaded and the competition is fierce. Sitting atop this time around are the Oklahoma City Thunder with them being the Top Defensive Team to beat, however with the WEST being so competitive holding on to the No. 1 spot is a challenged within itself.

The Spurs as usual have worked their way back to the top as the second seed but with many injuries to key players, I’m just not sure if they will hold on to that spot for very long. The Portland Trail Blazers have played like true contenders throughout the first half of the season so expect them to keep hovering around the 1 to 3 spot for the remaining of the season. Now for the remaining playoff spots between 4 and 8, expect the unexpected cause any one of these teams gunning it out can move up the food chain in no time.

Keep your eyes and ears tuned in cause the spotlight is on high for the remaining part of the NBA season. REAL TALK!
