Game 5 of Eastern Conference Finals

Earlier tonight, 8:30 EST, the Miami Heat faced the mighty Indiana Pacers in the biggest game of the series yet. This was Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals.  Before this game the series standing was 3 to 1. The Miami Heat had 3 wins to the Indiana Pacers 1 win. After tonight’s game the series standing is 3 to 2. The only difference now is the Indiana Pacers have one more win than last game. Obviously the Indiana Pacers beat the Miami Heat; if you read my last sentence you should know that. This was the Heat’s toughest game against the Pacers this series. Chris Bosh played another good game. Bosh had 10 rebounds, 2 assist, 2 steals, 1 block and 20 points. Unusually Rashard Lewis started at Power Forward rather than Udonis Haslem. Lewis had 4 rebounds, and 18 points. LeBron James played his worse game this series tonight. James having only 2 rebounds, 4 assist, 1 block, and 7 points. Dwyane Wade played a decent game overall. Wade had 8 rebounds, 7 assist, 2 steals, and 18 points.  Paul Gorge played above average tonight! Gorge had 6 rebounds, 2 assist, 6 steals, and 37 points. Roy Hibbert played a decent game. Hibbert had 13 rebounds, 2 assist, 1 block, and 10 points. Hibbert got a double-double. David West played a great game. West had 9 rebounds, 2 assist, 2 steals, 1 block, and 19 points. Tonight the Pacers really stepped up, showing the Heat they're not losing without a fight.

against the almighty Oklahoma City Thunder. This was game 4 of the Western
Conference Finals. Before this game the series standing was 2-1, with the Spurs
with two wins and the Thunder with one win. The current standings in the series

performer on the Thunder tonight was once again Serge Ibaka. Ibaka had 8
rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 3 blocks, and 9 points. That’s 68% of their points
in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals. The Spurs bench played a big part
in tonight’s game. One of the players off the bench that played beyond
expectations was Boris Diaw! Diaw had 14 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assist. Out
of Diaw’s 14 points, 6 of them were off of 3-point shots. Another bench player
that played very well was Matt Bonner. Bonner had 2 rebounds, 2 assist, and 8
points. 6 out of 8 of those points were from 3-point shots. The last bench
player’s stat I’ll take about is Cory Joseph. Joseph had 3 rebounds, 1 assist,

and got the foul. Tony played a decent game with 1 rebound, 4 assist, and 14
points. Tim Duncan also played a decent game. Duncan had 6 rebounds, 4 assist,
and 9 points.

West had 12 rebounds, 4 assist, and 20 points! West got a double-double. Paul Gorge played a good not great game. Gorge had 7 rebounds, 3 assist, 1 steal, and 23 points! Lance Stephenson didn’t play a good game at all. Stephenson was scoreless the whole first-half of the game. Stephenson had 5 rebounds, 4 assist, and sadly only 9 points.

Game 3 of Eastern Conference Finals

Last evening, May 24, 2014, the awesome Miami Heat played against the also awesome Indiana Pacers after a two day break.  This was Game 2 of Eastern Conference Finals.  In the end the might Miami Heat were victorious. Now the Miami Heat lead the series 2 wins to the Indiana Pacers 1 win. The score of the game was Miami Heat 99 to the Indiana Pacers 87. If you’re an Indiana Pacers fan you know of their great Small Forward (SF) Paul Gorge. Gorge having a great regular season being number 11 in the NBA for points per game (PPG). Anyways, George had a decent night scoring 17 points, grabbing 2 rebounds, and getting 1 steal. Once again the Indiana Pacers Shooting Guard (SG), Lance Stephenson, had a great night. Stephenson scored 10 points, an astonishing 11 rebounds, threw 5 assist, and 3 steals. Even though the Indiana Pacers haven’t been winning, Lance Stephenson has really stepped up for his team.

Game 2 of Western Conference Finals

This was probably Danny Green's thoughts during the game
Last night, May 21, 2014, the great San Antonio Spurs matched up against the also great Oklahoma City Thunder. This was Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals. The outcome of the game was San Antonio Spurs beating the Oklahoma City Thunder with a score of 112 Spurs to 77 Thunder. The leading scorer on the Oklahoma City Thunder was Jeremy Lamb. Lamb scored 13 points, threw 1 assist, grabbed 1 rebound, and stole the 2 times. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook also had a good night with a total of 30 points. Kendrick Perkins was not to hot that night.  Perkins only had 2 points, 4 rebounds and only 1 block. From my view it looks like the Thunder needs Surge Ibaka on the floor. Now to the Spurs leading scorer, Danny Green, he had a great night. Green scored 21 points, stole the ball 3 times, threw 1 assist, and grabbed 3 rebounds. For those who didn’t watch the game Danny Green really stepped up this game. Green was 7 of 10 behind the 3 point line! So basically Danny Green made 7 3-pointers and missed 3 3-pointers.  The Spurs Big three including Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili had a big part of scoring last night. All together they had a total of 47 points. Now seeing how the Spurs have played in these two game I would say,” Change nothing, you guys are playing great.” The Spurs are an old fashioned team mixed with a little new school.  The Spurs play good basketball and stick to the simple stuff and get rebounds! On the other hand the Thunder is a team with new players, who play very aggressive. If you can’t control your aggression you’ll end up in the same situation as the Thunder are in…

Game 2 of Eastern Conference Finals



On Tuesday night, May 20, 2014, the might Miami Heat with a 22 wins and 19 losses on the road during the regular season faced the fierce Indiana Pacers with a 35 wins and 6 losses home record during the regular season played Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals. In the end the might Miami Heat beat the fierce Indiana Pacers with a score of 87 to 83. If you know the Miami Heat you know they have a big three including; Chris Bosh, LeBron James, and Dwyane Wade. Last night you would’ve only thought it was a big two. What I’m trying to say is Chris bosh, the Miami Heat’s starting Center, was not a big factor in their win against the Paces. Dewyane Wade and LeBron James played a great game. LeBron James, the Miami Heat’s starting Power Forward, had 22 points, grabbed 7 rebounds, threw 6 assist, stole the ball three times, and blocked three shots. On the other hand Dwyane Wade scored 23 points; grabbed 5 rebounds, passed 5 assist, and had one steal. On the back of the hand Chris Bosh had a low 9 points; 6 rebounds, 2 steals, and only 1 block. Going to the Pacers side Lance Stephenson really stepped up when his team needed him most. Lance Stephenson had a spectacular night with 25 points, 6 rebounds, and 7 assist. On the lower hand Paul Gorge only scored 14 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assist.  Overall it was a great game and there were 5+ lead changes because both teams were striving for a win.
