Apr 18, 2015 19:48:09 GMT -7 Skyhawk said: "I no nothing as I don't watch till well into playoffs but Calvaliers will fall an Bulls r a Joke so for now knowing I 'll take Warriors & last years winners with Warriors Champ ."On Mar 24, 2015 at 11:53am Skyhawk also said: “Nothing really means anything till playoff time , lots of over paid stars will be toast to teams , I will make my correct pick then as always , clippers will be clipped , book it an bet it , westbrook the gunner will try to be hero an win by himself but will fall on his head , griffin will freeze up an be cold , Paul has no desire to be THE star”
Skyhawk tried hard to diss Clippers, Cavaliers and Bulls  ….. teams that the Master has picked as contenders for the NBA title. Since the Hawk has blinders on  , he could only see the overall favorite team Warriors + his own fav Spurs. Now that playoffs Game One’s in the books, let’s see how the predictions stack up? 
The Hawk picked 2 teams from Western Conference only, Warriors and Spurs, bcos he was too chicken to pick any Eastern Conference teams. Plus if things don’t go well for him, the Hawk could later fall back to his old tricks of moving the goal post, changing his predictions or adding EC teams to his predictions in order to claim victory, etc etc. Warriors, as the overall favorite team, rolled through Game 1, no surprise there. But OMG, Hawk’s fav Spurs fell to my L.A. boyz DaClippers 92-107.  According to Hawk, Clippers should have been clipped by Spurs already. But instead they clipped the Spurs.  How is that even possible?? Well, one out of two, the Hawk only has a 50% accuracy rate. I have noticed that since CBS terminated the Mentalist TV show, the self-proclaimed Men-ta-list and Nostra, aka Skyhawk, has lost his spirit and mojo, and has turned into Men-tally-listless   instead. How the mighty has fallen?! But to give the Hawk credit, in his Bizarro World, he was right about 2 things though…. Cavaliers did fall as he predicted, I mean Cavaliers’ 3-point shots did fall, total of 13 of them, through the hoop, LOL!  At one stretch, Kyrie Irving made five 3-pointers in his five tries...... five for five!  And then the Bulls were a joke of course, I mean with Derrick Rose returning and playing like his former MVP self, the Bulls made a joke out of their opponent!
The Master picked 4 teams as contenders, 2 from Western Conference and 2 from Eastern Conference……. Clippers, Warriors, Cavaliers and Bulls. OMG!!!! All 4 teams that the Master picked had won Game 1 over the weekend. Four for four, the Master has a 400% accuracy rate. How did he do that??
So Hawkie pal, who’s your daddy?....... WOO WOO…… Who’s the real Master now?  It’s elementary, Watson.
I told you Clippers starters would trump Spurs'. In Game 1, Clippers starting 5 scored 85 points, while Spurs' starting 5 scored only 49 points. Huge disparity there. Spurs bench did outscore Clippers bench, as I had predicted, but not enough to win.
You were right that Griffin would freeze..... He did freeze up 26 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks. He was so cold that he only managed 3 monster dunks  , posterizing hapless Spurs Center/Forward Aron Baynes time and time again! www.nba.com/video/channels/playoffs/2015/04/20/0041400161-sas-lac-play18.nba/
You were also right that Chris Paul had no desire to be the star, even though he has been playing at MVP level…. In this Game 1, he only had desire to put up 32 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. But then perhaps it’s still not good enough by your Bizarro World standard, LOL!
The stat-sheet numbers tell the tale, Watson. 
Onto Game 2 coming Wednesday. See U guys there!  |

Some examples of his colorful suggestions are........ Hack-a-Shaq tactics should be outlawed..…. Instead of shooting 2 or 3 Free Throws, why not just shoot one and be done, and award 2 or 3 points as the case may be…….. Floppers should be dragged outside the arena and shot……. Calling out on Howard Stern for leaving the Knicks game early, saying that Stern should not be permitted to keep his courtside seat for future games…….. etc, etc.
Dear Sir, your suggestion of a center-court hoop with guys    running around it is visually comical and downright hilarious! But dang, you just might be onto something?! This harebrained idea of yours might just catch on, and you could be credited as the hare-brainchild behind a brand new ball game….. Not just a Round Ball game anymore, but a Merry-Go-Round Ball Game! Do I see investors, sponsors lining up to get into your Merry-Go-Round Ball League? Do I hear cha-ching cha-ching??

Hawk, what did U do to piss off Shaq so mightily that he wanted his balls back? He's the most jolly jovial guy in NBA, and he always let peeps who's played and touched his balls to keep 'em. Never ask them back. This is the first time! Um..... could it be your making fun of his "What's A Round Ball" thesis?? He is very touchy about his Ph.D degree, due to the dubious circumstance under which the degree was given! |

This is it…… NBA Playoffs start today, yay!
Most pundits predict Warriors and Spurs will go all the way to the WC finals. I agree that Warriors is the best team in the West, bcos of the incredible shooting prowless of the Splash Brothers Curry and Thompson, and deserves a spot in WC finals. But I beg to differ on the Spurs and see my L.A. boys Clippers as the dark horse in the West. #3 seed Clippers will play #6 seed Spurs in the 1st round of playoffs. The 2 teams had met 4 times during regular season, and split the series 2-2, evenly matched. Spurs ended the regular season winning 21 out of their last 25 games, while Clippers ended with a 14 to 1 run. Both teams are peaking at the right time. Yet in a best of 7 playoff series, the young guns will outlast the venerable old gun slingers. Clippers will prevail because their starting 5 will trump Spurs’s starting 5 in a head to head match up:-
Point Guard: Chris Paul vs Tony Parker, advantage Clippers Shooting Guard: JJ Redick vs Danny Green, adv Clippers Small Forward: Matt Barnes vs Kawhi Leonard, BIG adv Spurs Power Forward: Blake Griffin vs Tim Duncan, adv Clippers Center: DeAndre Jordon vs Tiago Splitter, BIG adv Clippers Spurs strength is in their bench, one of the best in the league, and of course in Coach Pop’s almost flawless play system. But Coach Rivers is no slouch either, and this season’s new Clippers bench players of Hawes, Davis and Turkoglu are fitting in better and better towards season end and starting to pay dividends. Mid season acquiring of Doc’s son Austin Rivers is a big boost to the bench too, as he plays well under his dad, and definitely takes a load off of Chris Paul as his backup pointguard. X-FACTOR: For Spurs is Leonard, who gets better each and every season….. whether he will put in outstanding performance as he did in last season’s playoffs, which won him the Playoffs MVP Award? For Clippers the X-Factor is Crawford, winner of 2 previous 6th Man Awards….. whether he has recovered completely from his recent injury, and returns to his previous 6th Man level of play? If things go well for both teams, this is really a dead heat, as shown by regular season results. But Clippers have a final trump card, which will tip the scale in their favor – HOME COURT ADVANTAGE!!!! Clippers will send the mighty Spurs off to fishing , at game 7 at home in L.A. First game of Gunfight at Staples Corral starts this Sunday! My prediction for WC champion: 1st choice Golden State Warriors, dark horse my L.A. boys DaClippers. For EC champion: 1st choice Cleveland Cavaliers, dark horse Chicago Bulls. (Edited on 4/18 @ 9pm ET: Earlier today didn't have time to explain for EC prediction. Here's why for my EC choices - Cavaliers have the best BB player on this planet in King James + former Rookie of the Year Kyrie Irving is in top form. Even though losing Starting Center in Varejao due to injury, but mid-season acquiring of Tim Mozgov, the 7 foot true Center who's strong enough to bang with anyone, is a big plus. That the big Russian had played under Cavaliers Coach Blatt while Blatt was coaching in the Russian League explained why big Mozgov fitted in with the Cavaliers almost from day one! Now for the Bulls - They finally have their MVP Derrick Rose back in uniform, and Pau Gasol seems to be rejuvenated after being traded to the Bulls by the Lakers, and got his "POW" back. And of course rest of the Bulls bunch is always a tough crowd to deal with under the guidance of Coach Thibodeau.... no surprise there!)
My prediction for NBA champion: 1st choice Cavaliers, dark horse DaClippers. May the best team win. I no nothing as I don't watch till well into playoffs but Calvaliers will fall an Bulls r a Joke so for now knowing I 'll take Warriors & last years winners with Warriors Champ . BTW Did u get a week end pass from the old folks home ? WOW!!!! The Master's 2 top picks Cavaliers and Warriors both swept their opponents 4-0. The 2 dark horse teams, Clippers is tied 2-2 with Spurs and is projected to win at Game 7 at home, and Bulls is up 3-1 against Bucks. All 4 teams are in good positions to advance to next round. Stay tuned! |

I was at Staples Center last night watching Clippers’ gut wrenching loss to Spurs in Game 5 of playoffs………. lost the vital Game 5 all because of a goal-tending call on the Clips with 6 seconds left in the game. The 3 referees reviewed the replays and could not see definitively if Jordan did touch the ball or not, while it was still in the cylinder. But because the initial call by the referee was goal-tending, the referees could not reverse the call, and that cost Clippers the game  . Instead of up 3-2, now Clippers is down 2-3. Game 6 has now become a win or go home  for the Clips, and it will be on Thursday in San Antonio.
After watching the replays at home on TV, I still could not see definitively if Jordan did touch the ball or not either, while it was still up in the cylinder.
Here’s what Spur’s player Manu Ginobili said after the game: “"That was the play of the game. That's why I say we got lucky. The ball was going in, and Jordan happened to touch it. That would have put us down one. Instead, it was a completely different ballgame. We got a little lucky on the play.""
The Clippers just couldn’t get any breaks. In Game 2, with 15 seconds left, Clippers were ahead by 2 points and had the ball. Griffin drove to the hoop but dribbled the ball off his foot, causing a turnover. Spurs subsequently made 2 free throws and forced overtime, and then eventually won the game in OT.
If these 2 last second snafu had not happened, Clippers would be up 4-1 and have clinched the series last night at Staples Center, sending the Spurs to an early fishing trip!! Can’t help thinking the banned ex-owner of Clippers must have put a pox on the team, and that the basketball god don’t likey the Clippers, and it’s all Skyhawk’s fault.

Here’s what Spur’s player Manu Ginobili said after the game: “"That was the play of the game. That's why I say we got lucky. The ball was going in, and Jordan happened to touch it. That would have put us down one. Instead, it was a completely different ballgame. We got a little lucky on the play.""
The Clippers just couldn’t get any breaks. In Game 2, with 15 seconds left, Clippers were ahead by 2 points and had the ball. Griffin drove to the hoop but dribbled the ball off his foot, causing a turnover. Spurs subsequently made 2 free throws and forced overtime, and then eventually won the game in OT.
If these 2 last second snafu had not happened, Clippers would be up 4-1 and have clinched the series last night at Staples Center, sending the Spurs to an early fishing trip!! Can’t help thinking the banned ex-owner of Clippers must have put a pox on the team, and that the basketball god don’t likey the Clippers, and it’s all Skyhawk’s fault.
they lost because the dunker was 1 for 9 in last quarter , I could make 2 I told u he melts under pressure The only 2 U can make is dropping 2 eggs into a pot of water for hardboiled eggs. YES………… SCORE !!!!!
Griffin 1 for 9?? Which video did U watch, tapes from his brother’s old Junior High games??? Oh puh-leeze, get your facts straight before talking roundballs. Griffin absolutely did make his hook shot with 6 seconds left in the game, but for the ref to call goaltending on Jordan, he would have been the hero of Game 5. Even Spurs’ Ginobili admitted at the post game interview that they got lucky. Griffin melting? ………. I think not. My Clippers homies Griffin and Paul absolutely played their hearts out in Game 5. The statistics tell the tale:
Griffin: 30 pts - 14 rebounds - 7 assists - 4 steals - 1 block shot in 41 minutes
Paul: 19 pts - 5 rebounds -10 assists - 2 steals - NO turnover in 40 minutes
Clippers starting 5 scored 90 points, and spanked Spurs’ 63 points handily, again. But before playoffs started, I had said Clippers X-factor Jamal Crawford must step up and perform to his 6th Man level. Yet Crawford so far has not done so in this series. I chalk it up to his not fully recovered from his injuries. As a result Spurs’ formidable bench players outscored Clips’ 48 to 17, a gap too huge even for Griffin and Paul to cover, no matter how hard they had played!
At the post game interview, Griffin didn’t make any excuse, just said would be ready for game 6. But I put it squarely on Skyhawk, bcos he used his god status to coerce the Basketball God into causing that goal-tending call.
It will be a steep climb for the Clips, bcos statistically the team winning Game 5 and up 3-2 would have 75% chance of taking the series. Meaning Clippers only have 25% chance of coming back from behind. Yet if any team could do it, Clippers could too  ! Doc Rivers and Blake Griffin talked about the Game 5 loss to the Spurs.

If Spurs do end up winning the series, Golden State Warriors would definitely sigh a big relief. They rather face Spurs in the Conference Finals bcos they remember losing to the Clips in last year’s playoffs, OUCH!
Game 6 tonight in San Antonio.

….. teams that the Master has picked as contenders for the NBA title. Since the Hawk has blinders on 
, he could only see the overall favorite team Warriors + his own fav Spurs. Now that playoffs Game One’s in the books, let’s see how the predictions stack up? 
According to Hawk, Clippers should have been clipped by Spurs already. But instead they clipped the Spurs. 
How is that even possible?? Well, one out of two, the Hawk only has a 50% accuracy rate. I have noticed that since CBS terminated the Mentalist TV show, the self-proclaimed Men-ta-list and Nostra, aka Skyhawk, has lost his spirit and mojo, and has turned into Men-tally-listless 
instead. How the mighty has fallen?!
And then the Bulls were a joke of course, I mean with Derrick Rose returning and playing like his former MVP self, the Bulls made a joke out of their opponent!
It’s elementary, Watson.
but a lowly 50% percenter.
that often comes up with off-the-cuff humorous remarks, suggesting ridiculous new rules or coming up with off-the-wall ideas, and all the while delivering his lines with a straight face! 
running around it is visually comical and downright hilarious! 
. Instead of up 3-2, now Clippers is down 2-3. Game 6 has now become a win or go home 
for the Clips, and it will be on Thursday in San Antonio.
