LeBron takes on one of his biggest rivals, Lance Stephenson Paul George. Game 1 was one C.J Miles jumper away from giving the Pacers the series lead. The Cavaliers’ Big Three dominated Game 2 combining for 89 points. In Game 3, the Cavaliers overcame the largest halftime deficit in NBA history, 25 points. James finished with 41 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists. Anytime King James is on the court it’s a marvel to watch. In retrospect, the Pacers should be up 2-1. Instead, they face a 3-0 deficit. LeBron extended his winning streak to 20 consecutive first round games. In other words, Paul George will soon be riding into the sunset of Los Angeles.
Prediction: Cavaliers in Four
4 Los Angeles Clippers vs Utah Jazz
Joe Johnson’s buzzer beater in Game 1 led the Jazz to an upset victory. Chris Paul led the Clippers to a Game 2 victory with 21 points and 10 assist. Before Ruby Gobert’s knee injury the Jazz posed a threat to the Clippers; however, he is expected to miss Game 3 and is uncertain for the series. This series could have gone the distance and be ranked number one but without the “Stifle Tower” the Jazz don’t possess enough firepower.
Prediction: Clippers in Six
5 Golden State Warriors vs Portland Trail Blazers
This series has been extremely entertaining, from one side. The Warriors are putting up clinics. Even without Kevin Durant in Game 2, the Warriors beat

Introduction: Since the departure of Kevin Durant leaving the Oklahoma City Thunder (OKC for short) to the 73-9 Golden State Warriors, Russell Westbrook now a lone star in Oklahoma has been taking the league by storm averaging a triple double this season with (31.4 pts, 10.6 reb, 10.3 ast).This feat haven’t happened in over 55 years since “The Big O” Oscar Robertson who played for the Cincinnati Royals averaging a triple double in the 1961-62 season with a staggering average of 30.8 points, 11.4 assists, and 12.5 rebounds. However, by acknowledging the fact that this output hasn’t happened in over 55 years, I believe that James Harden in the Houston Rockets will win the MVP race. As much as I like Russell Westbrook to win the 2017 MVP award,
Westbrook, the league’s second leading player in assists, finished with 15 points, 10 boards and 11 assists for
Russell Westbrook finished the game with an amazing triple-double production of 20 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists, making the two-time All-Star Game MVP the NBA’s leader in triple-double performance.
Everybody has been saying James Harden should get the MVP award because his team is winning and he is getting points and assists. However, although James Harden is a really good player, it still denies that fact that why Russell Westbrook should get the MVP award. Me personally, I think Russell Westbrook should get MVP. Also, there are a number of different reasons why he should be MVP. Firstly he is putting up monster stats.
The Thunder’s dynamic duo of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook headed the Western Conference Northwest top team to its 46 wins in 68 games played this season.
It would have been a tough road to hoe without two starters in Kevin Love and Anderson Varejao. It was even tougher after losing Kyrie Irving in Game 1. But yet the Cavs took a 2-1 lead in the series and made a late charge in Game 6 when it appeared the game was already over.
Stephen Curry’s return was nothing less than positive deviance as he heroically overcame trials. During the first round of the NBA Playoffs Curry had suffered from a sprained right Knee which disabled his game appearance for 3 weeks. Although his injury was unfortunate Curry spent vast amounts of time rehabbing throughout recovery period. Due to Curry’s breath taking performance in Game four of the Western Semi
In four games against Chicago in 2014-15, LeBron James averaged 28.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.8 steals in 37.2 minutes per game. In the most recent win over the bulls on april 5 (99-94)James registered a triple-double with 20 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists and three steals in 37
Game two began with a battle of the pitchers, as both teams remained match through the third inning. Jake Norris would get the Pacers started with a hit to right field advancing Christian Dix to home plate to put the Pacers on the scoreboard (1-0).
Something is cooking in the city of Philly, the 76ers are moving on to the 2nd round in the NBA playoffs. The sixers beat the Miami Heat on April 24, 2018 causing an uproar in sports again.
