Kobe-less Lakers hope to stop Duncan, Spurs
Prediction: Spurs in 5 This is a typical classic Western Conference playoff matchup between two great franchises. The Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs will meet for the 12th time in NBA playoff history. Since 1999, these teams combined to win nine NBA championship titles, with the Lakers at a 5-4 advantage. Everyone questions how [...]
LeBron, Heat begin journey to repeat
Prediction: Heat in 4 What a season for defending champion Miami Heat. The Big Three combination of Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh led the Heat to a 27-game winning streak, which was the second-longest in NBA history. James, who will certainly be the league’s MVP, shot a career-high 56 percent from the field this [...]
Celtics playing with heavy hearts
Prediction: Knicks in 6 It’s a battle of the Northeast. Usually these cities’ rivalry is associated with the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox, but for this week, it is the New York Knicks and Boston Celtics battling on the hardwood. The Knicks have a lot to prove this postseason, as they look to [...]
Hawks, Pacers present very even matchup
Prediction: Pacers in 7 While a Hawks-Pacers matchup may not look exciting on paper, these two teams have a lot to play for. The teams split the four games during the regular season, which makes for a competitive and even matchup. These teams have some of the most underrated players in the NBA with the Indiana [...]
Bulls-Nets series offers defense, familiarity
Prediction: Bulls in 7 If you’re a fan of physical, close, low-scoring games, don’t miss this series. The matchup between the No. 4-seeded Brooklyn Nets and the No. 5-seeded Chicago Bulls appears equal on paper. Both teams have defenses ranking among the top 10 in points and have formidable frontcourts. The Nets have Brook Lopez at [...]
NBA’s best defense faces Griffin, Lob City
Prediction: Grizzlies in 7 The Memphis Grizzlies look for revenge against the Los Angeles Clippers in the rematch of last year’s Western Conference Quarterfinals. On Jan. 30, the Memphis Grizzlies traded their franchise player and leading scorer, Rudy Gay, to the Toronto Raptors in a three-team deal that sent Toronto’s Ed Davis and Detroit Pistons’ Tayshaun [...]
Curry, Warriors try to keep up with Nuggets
Prediction: Nuggets in 6 If not for the Miami Heat 27-game winning streak, the Denver Nuggets would have been the story of the season with their 15-game winning streak. Even more impressive, the Nuggets have lost only four home games this season, which tops the NBA. The Nuggets are led by point guard Ty Lawson, [...]
Harden faces former team in first round
Prediction: Thunder in 5 Reunited and it feels so good for Houston Rockets guard James Harden. Once a member of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Harden was traded to the Rockets in the offseason. Now he is the face of the Rockets organization and carries his new team to the No. 8 seed in the playoffs. Unfortunately [...]
Aztecs look to rebound against the Wolf Pack
Backcourt Aztecs: It’s no question the Aztecs have struggled in the past two games, including two go-to guards Chase Tapley and Jamaal Franklin. Franklin, who averages 20.8 points per game, had 13 in the Aztec loss to Wyoming on Saturday. Tapley has exhibited less-than-average numbers in the past two games also, but still is second [...]
Preview: SDSU vs. Nevada
Backcourt Aztecs: Senior guards Courtney Clements and Chelsea Hopkins make up one of the most dynamic backcourts in the country. Clements leads the Aztecs in scoring at 17.3 points per game, while Hopkins averages 13 points per game and leads the team with 7.3 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.6 steals per game. Wolf Pack: [...]
Rebels take round one
It felt more like a heavyweight-boxing match than a college basketball game. With No. 15/14 San Diego State and the No. 23 University of Nevada, Las Vegas trading jabs early on, the Runnin’ Rebels landed a left hook by jumping out to a 16-8 lead early in the first half. But the Aztecs responded with [...]
SDSU staying in MW
It’s official. San Diego State will be rejoining the Mountain West Conference in all sports next year. SDSU was reinstated after the Mountain West’s board of directors voted to allow the Aztecs to return to the MWC this fall. SDSU was scheduled to join the Big East in football and the Big West in all [...]
