Physical Game in Indy!!!!!!!!

The game between the Miami Heat and Pacers March 19 was the most physical game I've seen the Heat play in a while. That game was a good wake up call for both teams, because as of late they have been struggling and not playing up to the standards they have set for themselves in the previous years. After that game the Heat has been playing very well. They have gotten back to playing "Miami Heat basketball". Meaning they have gotten back to playing tough defense and flying around. They still are struggling a little on the offensive end but as long as they play defense they way they have then they should be alright. After seeing that game, even though the Heat lose, I don't feel like the Pacers can beat the Heat in a playoff series. Also I think Stephenson was out of line for talking trash to Dwayne Wade. How dare he talk trash to someone who has three rings and has also beat you last year in the playoffs. Don't get me wrong I love when players talk trash but you also need to show some respect when its due. There is nothing wrong with a friendly trash talking but when you go as far as taunting a player that is a very well respected for no reason then that's when you have to draw the line. Also it was a bad decision on Stephenson part because he already had one technical foul because of something dumb in the first half, so once he got the second technical foul he was ejected. All he had to do was just walk to his bench instead he opened up his mouth and got ejected from the game. All the great players never went too far when came to trash talking, they knew their limits. I guess that's what separates the good from the greats.

Heat Going Cold/ All Star weekend

The heat as of last have not been playing up to their championship standards. Lately I think the Heat are just cruising until the playoffs, because they have showed spurts of "great basketball." Personally I think they shouldn't wait till the playoffs to start playing hard because as they are cruising teams are getting better each game. Then they will find themselves in a situation they don't want to be in. Such as being a lower seed and playing someone like the Pacers the first round and potentially be knocked out the first round.

In more interesting news the Heat has three players going to the All Star game this year, held in New Orleans. This would be Lebron's 9th consecutive all-star game, Wade's 7th all-star appearance, and Bosh's 5th all-star appearance. All- star weekend is a fun time for the players as well as the fans. The players get to play with some of the guys they go up against each and they get to just relax and have fun. The fans get to enjoy the 3 point contest, skills challenge, and the most exciting the dunk contest. My favorite part about all-star weekend is the cool shoes the players come out with specially for the all-star game. I personally can't wait to see what shoes Lebron James and Kevin Durant have in store.

Pacer Hype

I feel like the hype about how the Indiana Pacers are undefeated is getting out of hand. People already starting to say that they are the best team in the east. Are we losing our minds? Did we forget there was a team that won the NBA championship last year, from the east, named the Heat. And also the Heat have the best player in the world named Lebron James. Don't get me wrong I think the Pacers are a great team but let's not get out of hand here, we all know who the real best of the east really is. The Heat have prove that when they really want to they could lock down any team in the league. So I think until the Pacers win the NBA championship, we shouldn't give them so much hype.

Lebron Return to Cleveland

Last week Lebron returned to Cleveland for his third time since going to the Heat. The fans were more nice this time compared to the last two times. The last two times Lebron returned to Cleveland the fans were harsh, every time he touched the ball they "boo" him, when he missed he missed a shot they "boo" him (he didn't miss that much). Then in the middle of the game a fan ran on the court and confronted Lebron. This year they barley even "boo" him, mainly because he played great. This time around they were more asking him to return next year because about to become a free agent.

Is Wiggins good enough to be compared to Lebron????

Lately sports analyze have been comparing Andrew Wiggins, a Canadian freshman at Kansas University, to Lebron James. Now personally I think Wiggins is a great player but I don't know if he have earned the privilege to be compared to Lebron. Lebron was on another level in high school, he had games on paper view. Everyone wanted to see him play he sold games out just him alone. His high school had to move there home games to the local college in Ohio. He was basically a superstar, everyone knew Lebron even if they didn't watch or play basketball. I think Wiggins would also agree with me. During the Big 12 media day Wiggins told ESPN that he have a long way to go before he could be compared to Lebron. He also stated "He is the best player in the world right now and I'm still in college. So I think it's really unfair to be compared to him."

Why Hate on Him???

The NBA recently had a poll asking 26 players who would they rather take the last shot Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, or Lebron James. 0% of the players chose Lebron to take the last shot. In my opinion I think the majority of the players didn't chose Lebron because they have some type of hatred toward him because of his move to Miami Heat. Here's a video below that debates about if the players were right or not.

Things I Carry

I carry around my phone because I like to listen to music in school and also in class. I listen to music in just about every class and also in the halls. I remember when I left my phone at home and I didn't have music to listen to, it was the most boring day ever in school. I couldn't text anyone, go on any of my social media accounts. So I guess my phone is very important to me. 

I carry around my wallet because I have my credit card, my license, and my school ID and also because it looks now. I remember when I left my wallet at home and I had to drive to school. I got pulled over that day for the first time and I didn't have my license. Then I left my wallet one time and I didn't have my credit card and I had to get gas. So I ran out of gas and I had to wait for AAA to show up. Then last year I left my wallet home the same day I got the ticket and I didn't have my school ID and I couldn't get lunch in the cafeteria. 

The intangible thing that I carry around is confidence. I think it is very important to always carry confidence with you. When you do have confidence you feel like you can do anything you want to do. Also you don't worry about what people have to say about you because you are confident in who you are. I remember I was taking a test and my friend and I had two different answers for a problem. So I was confident in my answer because I think I am the smartest, and when we got the test back my answer was right and friend answer was wrong. The point I'm trying to make is that because I didn't doubt my answer and change it to my friends answer and I stayed confident in my answer I was right. I'm not saying you shouldn't listen to someone if they give you advise just be confident in your final decision.
