Yes, I know the Golden State Warriors are the number one team in the league based off their record, and they are only down two games to one. But, if I’m a Golden State fan, I would be worried.
I’m sure you’ve heard by now the cliché, “The truth shall set you free.” Well, The Truth (see Paul Pierce’s) did free the Washington Wizards from a near collapse against the Atlanta Hawks early Saturday evening at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C.
This one had déjà vu written all over it. Houston jumped out to an early double-digit lead in the first two quarters, and then they would get sloppy, careless, and relinquish their lead to the Clippers. Then, LA would open up a double-digit lead and not look back in winning not one, but two games on the road, and basically all but dashing the hopes of the Houston Rockets of further advancing to the Western Conference Finals. Only this time, the Rockets wrote a different ending to the story.
LeBron James’ headband has made an appearance in the Cavs’ 2015 playoff run. After the much talked about absence of James’ headband throughout the playoffs, he decided to make a game-time decision, and sport his signature headband. It was a change that brought upon an even more aggressive LeBron in leading the Cavs to a 106-91 Game 2 win to even the series with the Chicago Bulls at one game apiece.
An inch. That small distance can be the difference between winning and losing. In Serena Williams’ case, that was the difference that helped her avoid her first lost of 2015 by Victoria Azarenka at the Madrid Open today…
Sports became a part of my life since I was old enough to remember. I’ve had a passion for them since my childhood when I participated in basketball, football, baseball, and track & field. I also was a former college basketball player. Sports have meant more to me than just participating in the games and practices. The concept behind them ignites my passion to want to be a part of something on a grander scale. For some, sports can be therapeutic, a release from the everyday routine of life’s everyday happenings. For others, they can just be a hobby, or something to do when you have free time on your hands; others, just exercise, to stay in shape and be active. For me, sports embodies all of the above. What fascinates me is how each person’s life journey comes together through their involvement in sports whether it’s an individual or team sport. Not only does the athlete who is playing have a story, but the individual game, match, etc. also tells a story as well. I will always be a student of all sports, and they will always be able to teach me something new.
The purpose of me starting this sports blog was to be able to inform people of the different happenings in the world of sports, as well as being an outlet for people to discuss and debate on different news and topics pertaining to sports and fitness. Hope you find it fun, interactive, and entertaining.
