Dear Nets, Defense Wins Championship Love, Heat





It was a scary day in Newark, New Jersey when the Heat haunted the Rock and crushed the Nets to hand them their first lost 101-78. Miami force New Jersey to 15 turnovers, 7 in the third quarter thanks to their suffocating defense. Lebron James scored 20, Bosh with 18 and Wade with 17. The Nets' leading scorer was Brook Lopez with 20.

From the start of the ballgame the Nets looked terrified from the Heat . There was no ball movement as they were forced to shoot away from the basket. They only shot 35% from the field. Rookie Derrick Favors got his first ever career double-double in the NBA (13 points and 13 rebound 10 offensive).

The Heat keeps on shutting the critics down as they show no signs of chemistry problems in this game. The Heat Rises 3-1 as The Nets fall 2-1.







For the Nets, No Lebron.. No Problem?







Home team (2-0)
Previous Game: Defeated the Kings 106-100.

The New Jersey Nets have failed miserably in the free agency this summer. They thought that their new Russian Billionaire Owner could lure a "Superstar" to play for the Nyets in Newark before relocating to Brooklyn in two years, but yeah Lebron, Bosh and Wade decided that South beach is the best place for them. Tonight the three biggest names in the free agency visit the rock to face the undefeated Nets (2-0) for the first time. Who would have thought that the Nets is going to be the undefeated team when this two face each other.

So is it going to be a blowout?? Can the Nets pull an upset?

The Nets fans are optimistic. All they want is a close game. That would depend if Brook continues to be a beast in the paint and Devin Harris continues his All-Star performance. This game will be very different from the Kings and Pistons game. They're going against a team that could break the Bulls' record of most wins in an 82 game season and just not that.. Some are even saying that they could win it all this year. So yeah, if the Nets manage to win this one, it is an upset.

Away Team (2-1)
Previous Game: Defeated the Magic 96-70

The Heat should definitely win this one or else there is going to be a lot of buzz about this game. The Boston game is explainable but this one?? It’s going to be war. One trap that they should avoid. Lebron should be Lebron tonight and Wade should be Wade.. Nevermind Bosh, he's enjoying being invisible right now..


I say the Heat wins this one in a blowout contest. The Nets is going to struggle scoring in the paint and they will be force to shoot jumpers. James and Wade is too much for this team that has yet to learn how to defend and like what I said before.. Both are impossible to guard.  Until then the outcome of this game is still up in the air.

The Nets wants an upset but the Heat wants the championship..

Too Much Heat for Superman.



It was a Friday nightmare for Dwight Howard and the Magic, as the Three Kings dominated them for four quarters; the Heat has finally shut the critics down after defeating an Eastern Conference Powerhouse 96-70. Dwayne Wade finished with 26 points, Lebron with 15 and Bosh with 11.

It was tight at the start of the contest but the Heat pulled away in the third. The Magic struggle all night, the defense wasn't there and the threes were just not falling (4-24). They were without Jason Williams who is serving a suspension after having a contact with the officials in their last game against the Wizards. Vince Carter(back Spasm) is once again hit by an injury along with J. J. Redick(cut in the face). The Magic falls 1-1 in the season and will visit the Big Apple to battle the Knicks (1-1) on Tuesday.

The Three Kings Vs Superman



Superman's Orlando Magic (1-0) goes up against the Three Kings of the Miami Heat (1-1)

Last night was the season opener of the Orlando Magic in their new Amway Center against the lowly Washington Wizards. With the absences of Gilbert Arenas and Josh Howard the Magic took control of the game from the start of the buzzer and destroyed the Wizards, 112-83. The Magic has been on the roll since the pre-season where they went undefeated (7-0). But tonight the Magic faces their "new" rival, The Miami Heat. 

So far the Heat is still trying to learn to play with each other. They lost in their season opener against the Boston Celtics but regrouped the trashed the Philadelphia 76sixers. While everyone is so hyped up with the team's chances of winning their second title this year I personally think that they would eventually but just not this year. The Orlando Magic is a team on a mission they won't just bow to the Kings of South beach, Dwight is not going to let them. Yeah superman may be a man of steel but sometimes he needs help. Carter needs to continue his aggressiveness that we saw during the pre-season. Rashard needs to improve in his production and at least try defending the Power Forward Position.

It's pretty obvious that the Magic is the better team right now but Dwade and Lebron are scorers and when they get hot, they are very hard to stop. The Magic needs to give the Ball to Dwight more often tonight cause that's the only position the team has a big advantage. The three pointers should go in tonight and the bench needs to dominate. Like what I said before the Heat has the heart of a Champion they just don't have the bench... (no support)

This might be close or it might go the other-way. I say..

The Magic wins this by 10-20 pts? If everything goes as planned..
