On the Watch ” It’s All About The NBA PLAYOFFS CONFERENCE SEMIFINALS 2014″

As expected this year’s 1st round showdown was must see TV with 4 teams East/West included, needing a game 7 to decide their faith on who moved on to the Conference Semifinals. With that being said the only 2 teams in the Playoff run coming in well rested for the second round are The Miami Heat who swept The Bobcats 4-0 and The Washington Wizards who outplayed The Chicago Bulls 4-1.

Now the “HYPE” continues for the second round, The Indiana Pacers will be going into battle with The Washington Wizards while The Defending Champs The Miami Heat face off with the only team they could not beat during the regular season, The Brooklyn Nets. REAL TALK!

The excitement alone surrounding this battle will undeniably be a series for the ages to come. (Reminiscing of the Heat/Celtics saga) the animosity these two competitive teams have for one another will be on display for all to see come Tuesday night May 6, 2014.

No rest for the West as each team took a longer journey into getting to the Conference Semis. The top seeded Spurs will be looking to slow down the hungry hot shooting Trail Blazers while L.A.’s newest representatives The Clippers will be battling it out with their Nemesis The Oklahoma Thunder.

This series will certainly be an exciting one to keep watch on considering how both teams are now finding a groove in team play well displayed by the way they both took convincing control of their opponents in the first round of an exhausting game 7.

Tune in Monday night May 5, 2014 and see who will be taking first crack at establishing their dominance at both end of the floor.

NBA PLAYOFFS 2014

This NBA season was another roller coaster types season with again some uncontrollable, unaccounted mishaps that we the fans would have never imagined happening through out the year. REAL TALK!

With that being said this years’ ” King Of The Court” for the season is non other then The San Antonio Spurs who finished the season with the Best record of 62-20. This team stayed on path through out the whole season with 1 goal in mind and that’s to undo the wrong of last years NBA Finals and recapture what they feel belonged to them, The O’Bryan Trophy. Their journey will not be an easy one considering how the West is loaded with some serious contenders of their own in the likes of Oklahoma, The Clippers and The Portland Trailblazers without counting out the rest of the teams in the Western Conference gunning for the same goal.

The Eastern Conference’s “Top Dog” goes to The Indiana Pacers with their record of 56-26. The Pacer’s came out the gates in an aggressive fashion but finished the last month of the season with a lack of focus, questionable for a real playoff run? The same goes for The Defending Champs Miami Heat.

Their last month finished was just has shaky and doubtful. Both team showed signs of weakness that will not go unnoticed by neither of the remaining Eastern teams aiming to upset them in their own quest. Some new faces in the Playoffs might just surprise a few team this year but one thing for sure is that this Saturday April 19, 2014 Playoffs First Round will definitely be one for the “Books”. REAL TALK! Tune in!

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!
