My NBA Playoffs 2013 recap


NBA Playoffs 2013


 

It was an interesting season this year in the NBA, but I will focus on the playoffs.

 

Round 1

The round one matchups were pretty predictable, for the most part. I’ll start with the West and work my way to the East. The Thunder wupped the Rockets, but they lost Westbrook, which really hurt them.

            The Spurs beat my beloved Lakers. I mean the Lakers were too injured to fight a team so formidable. The Warriors upset the Nuggets, which I was glad to see. The Grizzlies beat the Clippers in just 6 games surprisingly. The Clippers seemed to be better than last year, but so were the Grizz.

            In the East, Miami destroyed the Bucks which was no surprise to me. The Knicks beat Boston in a touch 6 game series. I think if the Celts would have had Rondo they would have won that one series.

            The Pacers went back and forth with the Hawks but beat them in 6. The Bulls and the Nets went 7 and the Bulls won. I wanted the Nets to win cause I knew the injured Bulls couldn’t beat the Heat…..could the Nets? Probably not.

 

Semifinals

            The Grizzlies wupped the Thunder in just 5 games. I was surprised that the West champs would go out so easily…but the Grizz played tough D. The Spurs managed to beat the Warriors in 6. I think that series was well played but the Spurs were too tough.

            The Heat lost Game 1 to the Bulls but they won 4 in a row rather easily after that. The Pacers upset the Knicks in 6…..I picked the Pacers to win that series so it didn’t surprise me.

 

Conference Finals

            Okay I rooted against the Spurs and the Heat in this round. The Spurs destroyed the Grizz. I really don’t think the Grizz had enough outside scoring…..just like the crippled Lakers. Spurs proved they could play great Defense. The Heat were taken to the limit against Indiana but they honestly couldn’t win after losing game one. If only they had one game one lol.

 

Finals

            In the finals, I rooted for the Spurs. It seems like they could have won the series. They were up 3-2 in game 6. To me they blew it….and now the Heat are back to back champs. Just like my Lakers did in 09 and 010. Lebron took his talents to South Beach and got 2 rings, but I think he’s done getting them. 3 straight trips to the finals doesn’t happen often.

Doja Cat Albums Worst to Best

 Doja Cat has been one of my favorite rapper/singers of the past few years. Let's see which albums are the best from her. 5) Amala (88)- Doja’s first album is honestly pretty damn good. You can tell she was still refining her sound tho on this. The last 3 songs “Juicy”, “Tia Tamera”, and “Mooo” are so good. “Candy” is another banger. The album is really well balanced being pretty much good in all areas but not really great in any tho. Favorite Track: Mooo. 4) Scarlet (90)- Believe it or not, this was an album I was on the fence about getting. I’m glad I got it. This is a rap heavy album but there’s still plenty of singing here and there. “Demons” and “F**k the GIrls” are Doja at her roughest. “Attention” was a great single. “Agora Hills” is a nice cute track. The monster single “Paint the Town Red” is the best track however. This album wa a big departure for her, but for the most part it paid off. Fav. Track Paint the Town Red. 3) Vie (92)- This was Doja returning to her pop roots,...

Video Game Review: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

 I happened to beat this game recently for the first time in I was just in awe at how epic this game is. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a sequel to Final Fantasy 7 Remake (which I played on the ps4). This game was a ps5 exclusive however. I know I needed a ps5 if I was gonna play it. And last year I made that happen. This is a continuation of the story of Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, and Barrett as they fight against the Shinra Corporation and the evil Sephiroth. I'll try not spoil much. When the game starts you play as Zack who is a solider like Cloud. You saw Zack at the end of Remake. Basically story wise there is another dimension in this game and you play as Zach in it here and there. There is a relationship meter that the main character Cloud has with every party member….answering certain questions one way or another will change the relationship. I found this to be a cool touch that the first game barely had any resemblance of. The game's graphics are outstanding and characters look ...

Album Review: Doja Cat-Vie

  The much anticipated latest Doja Cat album! I was very curious to see where she'd go after the dark rap heavy Scarlet. The path she took was a 80s sounding pop album. It took a few listens for the album to click with me but yeah its awesome. Doja is in her zone here on this album. She sings a lot and acts as her own featured rap artist which is interesting. The first 3 songs are pretty strong. "Cards" is sultry. I love "Jealous Type" too (the lead single). "AAAH MEN!" might be my favorite song however. The production is great but maybe not the best she's ever had. I liked most every song. "Silly!Fun!" and "Come Back" are also excellent. As far as features go there's only SZA on " Take Me Dancing". So basically we have a very strong album here...but maybe not quite as good as Planet Her but it’s very close. Maybe I'll do a Doja Cat album ranking in the near future. She's been one of my favorite artists sin...
