playoffs. Photo credit NBA 
We are not even a third of the way through the NBA season and I'm already bashing the Heat. At least most of our loyal readers with think so. With a 9-3 record, the Miami Heat should have seemingly nothing to be concerned about. The will make the playoffs and have a chance to three-peat as champions, LeBron James will be a strong MVP candidate once again, and the new bench pieces are fitting in okay. 

Hindsight, however, is 20-20 as they say. The Heat took possessive control of the Eastern Conference last year to solidify the #1 seed when the playoffs rolled around. The closest competition, New York Knicks, were 12 games behind them. The truth is 9-3 is only good for second place currently, and the team is first does not want to give up their spot or lose home court advantage.

We have some movement on our NBA Power Rankings this week. This past week hurt more than helped most teams as we watched buzzer beaters and blowouts permeate the association. Will the Miami Heat remain in the top five? How good are the Houston Rockets? Let's get right to it...

Everyone knows how much of a basketball fan I am and I know it may be only the second game of the preseason, but watching this game only made me more anxious for the 2012-13 season to start. The Indiana Pacers challenged the Miami Heat for the Eastern Conference, while the Chicago Bulls minus Derrick Rose could not overcome injuries and illness. Like that one song, by that one guy, times are changing.

NBA: Paul George gets "PAID"

Paul George gets "PAID". The Indiana Pacers are extending their star forward at the tune of 5 years 90 million dollars.  George's rise to stardom has led to him getting cashed out. He helped push the Heat to a game 7 in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Will George build off of a year that he averaged 17.4 ppg, 7.4 rpg, 4.1 apg and 1.8 spg? PG can ya boy get a loan? Will this contract hamper his game? No matter what happens he should be set for life. Do your thing PG keep ballin'

by Matt Silverston



The Miami Heat obviously have a lot to be happy about.  Three straight years of Eastern conference dominance coupled with two titles alongside two MVP trophies proves that Miami is the cream of the NBA's crop, and rightfully so, analysts and critics can't talk NBA without talking Heat basketball.

The Indiana Pacers did exactly what they needed to do and played desperate in Game 4. The talk today is more about the officiating than the actual play in the game. LeBron James fouls out with less than a minute to go in the game. This is only the second time he has done so in the playoffs in his career. Dewayne Wade gets a questionable traveling call and Paul George was shut down in the first half by the officiating.

Here are the highlights:

NBA Playoffs: Paul George Superstar?

As the old saying goes, "the playoffs are were stars are born", Paul George of the Indiana Pacers may be this year's breakout NBA star.

George was selected 10th overall in the 2010 NBA draft from Fresno State. That year the draft was saturated with small forwards causing Paul to be selected after Wesley Johnson, Al-Farouq Aminu, and Gordon Hayward. The Indiana Pacers did there homework before drafting him. In his freshman year he was named one of the top 15 freshman scorers in the NCAA. His sophomore season, he became Fresno State's second most effiecent free throw shooter in history, but it was Paul's defense that caught the attention of the organization.

Pacers take a 3-1 Series Lead over NY Knicks
The second round of the NBA playoffs rolls on as the Indiana Pacers now find themselves one victory away from advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Carmelo Anthony continued his poor shooting, 9-26, from the floor and Jason Kidd as yet to make a point since before the NFL draft. Iman Shumpert, who was questionable to play, did not score in the 16 minutes he played. The Knicks have not been able to get any offense going since game 2.
