The Philippines Wins 5th Place in 2018 Asian Games Basketball

Congratulations to the Philippines Men's Basketball team for winning the 5th place trophy in the 2018 Asian Games.  It was the breaks of the game that led them to their spot.

Not taking away much credit to the teams they won against, but they were too strong for the teams against the other teams who were not in the semi-finals.

Let's do better next time.  Congratulations and better luck next time team Philippines!

2016 NBA Finals Prediction

Here is my bold NBA Finals prediction this 2016.  Battling for the East Finals are the Cleveland Cavaliers vs the Miami Heat.  It’ll be a reunion between Lebron James and Dwyane Wade.  James will outpace the Heat and win the Eastern Conference Finals 4 games to 2.

In the Western Conference Finals, It’ll be the Golden State Warriors vs the San Antonio Spurs.  Coach Greg Popovich finds a way to disrupt the Warriors’ flow of the game and win this series 4 to 3.

In the NBA finals, the Spurs will show Lebron James how impressive and effective teamwork is and wins 4 to 2.  This will also be a little bit of a déjà vu when David Robinson passes the baton to Tim Duncan.  This time around, Tim Duncan passes the baton to LaMarcus Aldridge.

By the way, these predictions depend if the teams mentioned do meet during their conference finals.

2015 NBA Finals - Cleveland Cavaliers vs Golden State Warriors

2015 NBA Finals will feature Cleveland Cavaliers led by Lebron James and Kyrie Irving vs the Golden State Warriors led by the splash brothers Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.

My Prediction:  Cleveland Cavaliers wins the NBA Finals in 6 games.

This was a good game.  I thought Manu was going to win this but looks like Trevor Ariza used his size and kept scoring from inside the paint.  Manu Ginobili wasn't able to stop this.

Kevin Love vs Harrison Barnes

Kevin Love wins over Harrison Barnes with a clutch mid-range jumper to win the ball game. Kevin grinded it out against Harrison inside the paint, giving him tons of free throw attempts. Love is out to disprove that he's not just an “extra-star” for the Cleveland Cavaliers by moving through to the 2^nd round of the 1^st Fantasy Basketball Tournament.

People You Meet And Play With On A Basketball Court

Another great video from the guys of Dude Perfect. Here's their YOUTUBE page.  Just posted this 'cause I can relate.  I came across these types of players from time to time and I guess I'm one of those too.

One Of The Dirtiest Player

I just had to post this when I saw it on YouTube. Damn, what a dirty player. His name is Winnie Arboleda from the PBA - Philippine Basketball Association. He should be banned on whatever basketball league out there.
