NBA Playoff

  Hi guys, It’s blog time here and The NBA is packed with really exciting stuff. The Conference finals have started and so far the pacers had won their first match which is pretty disappointing… but anyways if I had to describe the match I would say it was unexpected. I expected the Heat to be more dominant on the court having some steals and much more points in transition. I completely forgot what the Pacers were capable of and how good they were in the defensive floor. They played good on-ball defense and stopped a Miami heat that has been on fire lately. I think Miami has to be much more dominant and I think they were expecting a much more inconsistent team. The centers game is not going to work against these Pacers and their perimeter shooting is not bad at all so I think the only thing Miami can do is play smart basketball, as in taking care of the ball getting those boars… and changing things around during the game. Another thing I wanted to discuss with you is the OKC, these team beat the Clippers and the best point guard in the game, all because of Durant, that guy knows how to take care of business and even though there is not a great team chemistry he can bring the whole team to a new level, scoring 36 points. The problem was that the Clippers did not look for many fast breaks and Clippers don’t know how to play at a slow pace, maybe a quick pick or isolation but not a 20 sec possession. But The OKC can play in transition with guys like Russell, or play it slow and give it to KD for the shot. As I said before KD is a very difficult player to guard because he is no normal he is a great scorer, tall, good handles, and a killer fade away, so that covers some of the greatest aspects of all the positions. Extremely difficult to guard. Finally what I expect of the OCK vs Spurs is a tough match for both teams, spurs have great players but they have to step it up and get the work done players like Leonard, in this case I support OKC and I think they have to take advantage of their athleticism. OKC has much younger players and if they make the spurs run up and down it could be deadly, also could create easy mismatches like parker on Durant or Perkins on Leonard although I think perkings is an absolute retard and has nothing to do against Diaw or Duncan. In defense, well OCK is missing their main defensive player due to injuries so I would say that forcing tough layups instead of going for the block would be a good option and also double teaming the Forwards. It all depends on the way the match is played and the Spurs have a greater chance to win as their players are more experienced but definitely not more skillful.
