Golden State starts the mourning process

In a crucial game five back on their home floor, the Golden State Warriors knew that they had no other choice but to leave it all out if they wanted to force a game six and carry this series on.  The Spurs came into this game having already beaten the Warriors on this floor just about a week earlier, knowing that if they gave even an inch of breathing room to this dangerous, young Warriors team, they could potentially be in big trouble, so the game plan was to win all cost and that they did.  Closing out the game with two back to back monster three pointers by Leonard and Parker to seal the deal and allow the Spurs to advance to their second consecutive Western Conference Finals.

Senators need to show their toughness

Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Ottawa Senators
7:30 PM ET, May 19, 2013
Scotiabank Place, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Coverage: NBCSN

Ottawa came out of game one trying to remember the last time they got their butts spanked that hard in a playoff game, not just in the number of goals, which ended 4-1 by the way but also the physicality of the game. Coming into the postseason the Senators were widely known as one of the most physical, hard hitting teams there are, with many other players saying they hope they don’t have to play them. Pittsburgh just really got under their skin and frustrated them to the point of getting them to make terrible decisions that ended up in penalty minutes and extra opportunities.

The Knicks still have some fight in them

After losing three games straight against the Pacers, the Knicks found themselves against the wall facing possible elimination on their home floor, something I’m sure they were not expecting and were going to do everything possible to make sure this series extended itself. The Pacers got news just a few minutes before the game started that their starting point guard George Hill would be out of this game because of concussion symptoms after taking a nasty fall in game four, this was the night the Knicks needed to get back a little of the momentum and show their fans that they are not going to roll over.

This series will show the Twins what they are made off

Minnesota Twins vs. Atlanta Braves
7:10 PM ET, May 20, 2013
Turner Field, Atlanta, Georgia

This will be the first time that the Twins and the Braves meet up this season. They Braves are off to a strong start and the Twins are looking to get something going to increase a little momentum on their side. The Twins have found themselves one game below .500 and 9-9 on the road, they have faced some of the best teams on the road so it’s somewhat understandable but they have shown issues with their batting rotation; they have left 27 runners in scoring position on base.

Bruins take game 1 in overtime

Game one of the Eastern Conference semifinals were as exciting as we could have hoped for as the Bruins coming in at home as dogs, took game one with a late overtime goal by Brad Marchand. This was his first postseason goal of the year and what a goal it was!It lifted the Bruins in dramatic form over the Rangers to tackle the lead in the series. New York’s goalie Henrik Lundqvist had a great game making 45 total saves allowing 3 goals… that goes to show you just how nonexistent the Rangers defense was. Whenever you have a goalie making 40+ saves in a game you have major holes you need to fill. Read the rest of this entry »

A very important game for the National League

Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Milwaukee Brewers
8:10 PM ET, May 20, 2013
Miller Park, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Coverage: ROOT Sports

This is almost like a must win for the Dodgers who have been going through some pains this season with injuries and losses that seem underserved. The Dodgers have lost in extra innings or in the bottom of the 9th more times than any other team in the MLB this season; they have to look closely at their closers because it seems that the problem lies there. The Brewers lost a few of their big names over last offseason that really set them back offensively, at this point they are looking to get back to .500 as well as pleasing their fans.
