Spurs struck by Thunder
Last night the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder battled to the very end until Russell Westbrook iced the game with an and one. The Thunder now lead the series 3-2 and have any opportunity to close this series out in front of their home crowd. Kevin Durant and Westbrook have found a happy medium that is winning games against the second best team this season. On the other season I really do not know what has happened to Spurs, yes Tim Duncan is suffering through that whole father time issue but Kawhi Leonard and Lamarcus Aldridge are struggling in times where they are needed the most. The team is doing what is needed, they are keeping the Thunder under 100 points and yet they could not win last night. Maybe this whole "new regime" of the Spurs is not good enough. I think San Antonio has a very slim chance to pull this comeback and even so I do not believe they will win against the Warriors in the conference finals.
Tonight's matchups
Tonight the Miami Heat and Toronto Raptors both look to go up a game in their series and the Warriors will look to close out their series against the Portland Trail Blazers. Predictions: Toronto wins yet ANOTHER nail biter and goes up 3-2 and the Warriors will close out this series in a game that never really felt close.
Till next time, Keep on Swishing!

LeBron James recent headlines
Hey Swishers! I blogged about the recent All-Star weekend last time click here if you want to read it! Anyway today's post is about the recent headlines surrounding LeBron James. Before we get started I want to say that I am not a LeBron bandwagon or a hater, LeBron is just a player to me like everyone else in the NBA. Moving on, there have been a couple of headlines regarding LeBron recently.
61 points
LeBron scored 61 points against the Charlotte Bobcats on Monday. There has been a lot of hype around this game and LeBron's performance. Well if there is anything impressing about this is the fact that it came on a Monday. I do not see why everyone is so impressed by this performance to be honest. It was against the CHARLOTTE BOBCATS, that have been an awful team for the past several years. Not only that, but LeBron, and I hate to say it, but he ball hogged the entire game. As a guy that watches a lot of basketball, this does not rank anywhere special in his best played games or best played games ever. I hope that people can see the truth to this game and see that it really was not anything special. I will say that if he scored 61 against the Thunder then it would have been impressive, but for now it is just a regular game for me.
The Mask
LeBron broke his nose a while ago and now people have been giving him a lot of credit where credit is not due simply because he is wearing a mask. The mask is just there for safety to make sure he does re-break his nose or suffer a worse injury. People are treating it as if he is playing 20 times better than he already is. It may sound that I am hating on LeBron, but I am not, I am just trying to say if you think that playing with a mask makes him so much better, please stop thinking that, it makes almost no sense.
Free Agency
There has been a lot of speculation as to what Lebron is going to do once the season is over. Is he going to stay in Miami or move on to another team? I think the first thing to recognize is that the Miami Heat are going to do EVERYTHING in their power to try and keep LeBron, but in the end it is ultimately up to him. I am not sure what teams he would really like to go to, other than stay in Miami or go back to Cleveland. On the Cleveland topic I'm not sure if he is going to want to go back to Cleveland. However I think it all comes down to the playoffs and Dwayne Wade. Dwayne Wade is coming to the end of his career or at least is getting there with all the knee injuries and he really is one of the key factors to the Miami Heat. I also think if they can not get to the finals this year, LeBron has a huge reason to say he wants to leave. LeBron has always been about championships and rings and he wants to be on a team where he can get that.
However that's all I have to say. I want to thank you for coming and please feel free to leave some feedback on anything it really helps!. Thanks swishes and remember Keep on Swishing!
