Why The Nets Just Can 't Get Right

They have a good rotation with a lot of polarity—Madison Bumgarner is one of the best pitchers in the world, and Johnny Cueto is not far behind. However, Jeff Samardzija is not nearly as good as he used to be, Matt Moore isn't good, and Matt Cain has been injured and horrendous as of late. Their bullpen was absolutely horrific last season, blowing 32 saves in the regular season and playoffs. Behind Melancon they are supremely deficient; Hunter Strickland and Derek Law are awful. Their lineup is solid, led by Brandon Belt, Buster Posey, Hunter Pence, and Brandon Crawford. Pence has been got progressively worse over the past few years and is well past his prime, on top of the fact that he carries an albatross injury concern, and the same is true for Denard Span. Their weakest point is the outfield; injuries to Span and Pence could be a killer. The Giants have the potential to make the playoffs, and they could catch the Dodgers if everything goes right, but they are the likeliest of the five teams I predict to make the playoffs to come up short.

Like I mentioned earlier they have 2 rings in another league, and 3 in the NBA. They have appeared in the NBA finals 6 times. The team has 9 conference finals, 7 division championships, and 21 playoff appearances. There best season occurred in 2015-16 going 73-9, and there worst being in 2000-01, going 17-65. In the 06-07 season, the Warriors team none as "We Believe" made a huge mark in history, coming in as the 8th seed in the playoffs, they beat the 1st seeded Mavericks in the first round. This was a huge accomplishment, seeing that the warriors hadn't made the playoffs in a very long time. They ended up losing in the second round to the Jazz, but they we're still noticed as a team that believed. Along with team success, they also have had individual success. GSW has 17 Hall of Famers. They have won coach of the year 3 times, Most Improved 2 times, R.O.Y 4 times, D.P.O.Y once, and MVP 2 times. (Both were Stephen Curry, 2 years in a row.) When winning the finals, their MVP's were Rick Barry in 75', Andre Igoudala in 15', and Kevin Durant in 17'. But to have great success, you need good staff and

Dodgers had a great season with 91-63 record; however, on the end of season they have a big slump, losing 20 of 25 of the last games. That makes a big difference

They have an elite defense, ranking in the top six of each statistical category for team defense. They have the best defensive line with Chris Long, Aaron Donald, and Robert Quinn. Their secondary is one of the best in the game, routinely shutting down opposing teams passing games.

Yardage doesn't seem to be the issue, considering, they've surpassed 400 yards of total offense three games in a row, beating the 2012 record. They're averaging 9.2 points in the fourth quarter, which is 3rd in the NFL, but only 23.6 points per game, ranking them at 13.

The Kings finished the 2014/2015 regular season with a meager 29-53 record; no where near playoff contention in the fiercely competitive Western Conference. To put their under-achieving record in context, the Kings still would have finished as the lowly 13th seed in the far less competitive Eastern Conference. But they have visibly bolstered up their roster with a variety of talent.

Toronto's defensive woes culminated in a meltdown of epic proportions during the postseason, losing four-straight games in the opening

When a team has this much success it leads people to wondering, what has the team been doing? Perhaps this years team was dedicated to getting better, or maybe practice has been tougher this year. It could be a number of things, to find out i asked Ty Gentry who said “ The team was all there to gget better and we all had a mindset to win no one wanted to lose and everybody was willing to do what it took to win.”

When everyone thinks of the Chicago Bulls, they think of greatness. How could you not? The entire decade of the 1990s was all about the Chicago Bulls. Their star player Michael Jordan was easily the most popular athlete in the world, the franchise won 6 NBA championships in eight years, and they were easily recognized as the greatest team ever, owning a then-record 72-win season. They were at the peak of their fame as easily the most recognized team in the world. However, Michael Jordan called it quits after their sixth championship which began a long gradual decline for 20 years. In that time, they have not won any championships or even appeared in the Finals. Now, we have the newest edition of the team, the 2017-2018 Chicago Bulls. After trading three players with all-star experience before the season began, They left their team that is now a bunch of inexperienced players. Despite claims that they are a young team that will get better, I believe that the Chicago Bulls are the worst team in the NBA for now because of a lack of all-star caliber players and their terrible in-game performances.

They have really good people on their team that take home wins like Von Miller this person was a nobody until 2016 when he and other players on their defense like Chris Harris, Aqib Talib, Darian Stewart, TJ Ward, Derek Wolfe, Demarcus Ware, and our special middle backer Brandon Marshall helped us win a super bowl (50). They each have their strengths and weaknesses and that is the reason they are

One reason Carolina Panthers are seen as mediocre in sports is because of the lack talented stars that they can build on. The Carolina Panthers had a couple of Pro-Bowl caliber players over the years, like Julius Peppers and Steve Smith, but over time the Panthers rid themselves of both players. When both players left, many fans turned against the franchise and became fans of other teams. For example, Charlotte now became a conglomerate of NFL teams. I, personally, have seen many Cowboys, Redskins and Steelers fans in this city alone than Panther fans, especially when Steve Smith fled the team in 2013 due to contract disputes.

The opening of the movie starts out with a biblical reference. Before the movie even begins, there is a verse from the book of Proverbs which states: The wicked flee when none pursueth. –28:1. I believe this Bible verse sets the foundation and tone for what will be revealed to the audience throughout the movie. This is not the only quoting of the Bible, there is another mention of Ezekiel and the dry bones.

At the same time, small farmers, who worked smaller tracts of land, sat in popular assemblies and found their way into political office. Their outspoken independence was a constant warning to the more powerful of planters not to encroach too far upon the rights of free men.

In January of 1940, Zedong Mao delivered a speech during a liberal conference in Yan’an, the center of communism and socialism in China. In the speech, Mao argued that the fate of Chinese revolution must be held in hands of proletariats, and as a leading result, the revolution must construct China as a socialism country. Two decades ago, in 1921, Shanghai, Korean communists also declared their country’s independence by publishing The Manifesto of Korean Communist Party. Bothered by Japan’s invasion on their country, Korean Communists severely criticized on Japanese colonists’ dominance on their

The Raptors stayed true to a trend, they are now 1-11 all-time in playoff game ones. I know, you
