Heat vs.Spurs:Game 4


What a day for sports. After watching the opening round of the US Open and getting my fix of World Cup soccer I'm warmed up and ready for game 4 of the NBA Finals.


Just who is going to come out with a victory in game 4?  With the way these teams are playing it is anyone's guess.



Lebron James has been stellar, The Spurs role players have been huge, and the intensity levels at which these teams have played has been off the charts.


But where has Wade gone? Ginobli and Duncan are much older but still Wade looks like the grey haired baller on the court. The days of flash are gone.  But that's for another blog.

In the end these last NBA Finals games will come down to 3 simple things.  Coaching adjustments, making shots, and who wants it more. These games are hard to predict but I don't think Miami loses two games in a row on their home floor.  Miami takes this one 101-97.

Its FINALLY here

The moment the world has been waiting for is finally here.  Brazil and Croatia kick off the 1st game of the world cup.

Obviously Brazil is a heavy favorite playing in front of their home crowd and despite the overwhelming pressure they face to win the whole tournament, the team seems confident and ready to take on any team in their path.



This got me to wondering.....has a host team ever lost the opening game?

The answer is no.

Expect a big win from Brazil today and if your in Vegas make a bet and take some free money.  The only thing that can stop Brazil today is more strikes and rioting.  Happy World Cup EVERYONE!

What to Watch Tomorrow? hmmmmmm

Typically I don't think of Wednesday's being a must watch day for sports but tomorrow June 12th, 2014 is an exception.  We have the first game of the world cup between Brazil and Croatia, the 1st round of the US Open @ Pinehurst, and game 4 of the NBA Finals between the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs.



Wow!



I know I am going to try to watch all 3 but you can bet many people around the United States will be streaming the world cup game from the phones, laptops, or their desktops while at work trying to look as busy as possible.  Just plug in some headphones and minimize your screen when someone walks by.  Like the guys at #grantland say. "Don't get fired!".


No matter what you watch tomorrow is going to be a great day.  What will you be watching?
