Sit back, relax and watch the basketball games we've been waiting for.

Indy vs. Miami, San Antonio vs. OKC or anyway you want to put it these are the games we've been waiting for! Indy is putting itself back together again, which is set to challenge Miami for 2 maybe 3 games. Meanwhile OKC beat San Antonio last night with the help from Serge Ibaka, with Ibaka can the Thunder win? No, sadly they'll lose in 7. But on the bright side if the Spurs win they will dethrone Miami. This is the Basketball we've been waiting for so relax, I'll have another article up in a couple of days and then full coverage of the Finals.

Best Backups

It happens once in a while, star player gets hurt, key player isn't producing, injuries, who do you look for? Who could have the capabilities of saving a team for a few games, or maybe a full series? Who would train for that? In my mind comes two names, last night after the Spurs dominated the Blazers a third name came up. PATTY FREAKIN' MILLS. The backup PG for the Spurs was a 42% 3pt shooter and was a better PG than some starting PG's in the league. Patty Mills could've gone to the Bulls or the Kings, teams in need of a backup PG(Bulls) and a starting PG(Kings) but he stayed in San Antonio being a backup for Tony Parker, a top ten player. And last night he had every stat in the book, except a turnover. 18 points, 2 assists, 3 rebounds, 3 steals, a block, and a personal foul. Meanwhile Reggie Jackson thanks the Lord for being with the Thunder, saving the team in game 4 vs the Grizzlies and almost saving the team last year by showing some serious skills and handles. Used to be a backup but now is playing a lot more with a three-guard combo Scott Brooks threw in, which may surprise you how effective it is. The point of this article is, get to know your backups, and when they get their chance you'd be dumb not to believe they'll prove everybody wrong.

Second Round preview

The first round was, in short, a mind-blowing,nerve wrecking, dream ending,Damian Lillard beasting, spectacle. The most fun first round in the history of ever has come to a close, here are my second round picks.
LA Clippers vs OKC Thunder: This will be a battle for the ages, Westbrook v Paul, Durant v fast but slow to him defenders and Griffin v Ibaka, the most important match-ups. This is a pretty even match-up which will come down to Durant over playing defenders in game 7 to win the series. Thunder in 7
WSH Wizards vs IND Pacers: If this was 2 months ago the pacers would come off with an easy victory, but with Hibbert not doing anything and Paul George having to carry a broken-down team. It will come down to Nene over-powering Hibbert and coming off with a win.
Wizards in 6.
BKN Nets vs MIA Heat: This is what we would've seen last year if the Bulls had lost against the Nets but Nate Robinson up-lifted the Bulls and made miracles possible. This year the Nets swept the Heat in a season series and even if they don't win the series they will put up a fight, for 2 games.
Miami in 6.
POR Trailblazers vs SA Spurs: Forget the hokey-pokey this is what it's all about, arguably the two most exciting playoff players LaMarcus Aldridge and Damian Lillard who hit a craaaazzzy shot to win in game 6 against the Rockets are back against an experienced Spurs team with an on-fire Tony Parker and an holy-&$%#-I'm-hitting-shots-over-and-over-again Kawhi Leonard. Even though LaMarcus aldridge could overpower Tim Duncan I pick Kawhi Leonard having the hot hand and winning the series for the Spurs in 7.

The Donald Sterling Problem

Clipper's owner Donald Sterling is one of the league's most tenured coaches  but when a tape of his racist comments about not wanting African-American people to come to the game, in a league that has 80% black players. The Donald Sterling tape which you can hear if you CLICK HERE is horrible but compelling to listen too because how could an owner do that?!? Doc Rivers the Clippers coach admits that the whole team is pissed, and it's worse while in the playoffs. Meanwhile Magic Johnson was the most affected, he even said that he would never go to another Clippers game as long as Donald Sterling was the owner, and rapper Lil Wayne was also affected making a video message to him. The punishment on sterling, which from now on deserves to have his last name lower-cased, is a lifetime ban, and a $2.5 million dollar fine by the first year commissioner of the NBA Adam Silver the maximum fine that can be given. It's official Mr. Adam Silver became the commish that day the first big problem he solved, and it won't be forgotten, I have faith in Adam Silver.
