Rajon Rondo

Talk of the Celtics is all about Rondo and how key he was and how they have no chance of being good anymore. But everyone is forgetting about this winning streak their on. They have a seven game winning streak in which they have been playing easily the best basketball of the year. My opinion is that they aren't exactly better without Rondo but they click better and without him players step up and collectively replace him with players like Terry, Lee, and Bradley. This team could very well take a top three spot in the playoffs if they keep the intensity their playing with having lost Rondo and play as a team. I look forward to a great second half of the season.

Superbowl Sunday

The super bowl is tonight airing at 6:30et on CBS. This matchup of course is the Ravens against the 49ers. I think that even with Ray Lewis and the defense of the Ravens they won't be able to pull out a victory. Kaepernick has been doing suprisingly well and other players too are sure to step up for the 49ers. Patrick Willis is a fantastic middle linebacker and he has help. The coverage has been going since 11 in the morning today on CBS. I am very exciting and thrilled for the game tonight. It could definitely go either way. The commercials should be fun too.

AFC and NFC championship predictions

       There are two games on Sunday, first at 3:00 the 49ers play the Falcons and then at 6:30 the Patriots play a hungry Ravens team. My predictions are that the 49ers will beat the Falcons who just haven't proved they can win big time playoff games even after the win against the Seahawks. Matt Ryan even with the incredible clutch last second plays to win the game doesn't seem like he can control that 49ers defense and have them confused. I take Kaepernick and the 49ers 27 - 17.
      In the second game between the Patriots and Ravens I take the Patriots commandingly. I just can't see Brady being stopped by the ravens defense. Another reason is Flacco definitely looked better last week in the amazing win against the Broncos, but I get the feeling when the Patriots get the different defensive looks, Flacco won't be able to detect and audible out. The only way the Ravens can win is if they get the ball to Torrey Smith and keep Brady off the field they might be able to win the game. They have to keep the game low scoring. None the less both games should be full of exciting action.

Patriots defeat Texans

The patriots played the texans Ina divisional playoff game. The patriots started off slow with no points I the first two possessions but finally were able to gt a spark from Vereen who ended up getting three touchdowns and being vital in the patriots pulling out the victory. It seemed as thought the contest was over when the patriots gained a commanding 38 to 13 lead but the texans fought back to make it 28to 38 but the patriots got a field goal and closed out the game. Tom Brady said after the game that the ravens are a good team but he thinks the patriots have a great chance of winning this game if they don't let the ravens different looks on defense got to them. They also must contain the speedy wide reciever Torrey smith who had a tremendous first half against the broncos with two touchdowns and nearly 100 yards.

Celtics handled by Clippers

The Celtics played the Clippers on wednesday night in a game that was thought to be a good one. Close and competitive. This was hardly what happened. The Clippers jumped to a 18 to 4 lead in the first 6 minutes and didn't let it slip. The Celtics for the second and third quarter scored almost the same as the Clippers but because of the slow start they were still down by around 15. The fourth quarter was where they gave up. They lost all need to win the game and quickly it showed. The final score of the game was around 110 to 77. Chris Paul was showcasing a clinic with his passes drives and occasional shooting from the outside. He definitely should be considered for the MVP because all of the Clippers offense is from a drive by him or a pass.

Exams

This upcoming week of school is Exam Week. Exam Week for Freshman in High School is a test on the entire first half of the school year. One, two hour exam each day. I am least worried about my exam in English and my Exam in Math. These units have been fairly easy for me. My challenging courses are Biology and French. The vocabulary you have to remember is what gets me. And lastly a subject that is neither a problem nor a walk through is History. History is all a 5 paragraph essay in which you show your opinion on religions. This could go either way.

Paquiao vs marques

I watched the boxing match that took place last night between Manny Pacquiao and Marquez. This was the fourth fight between the two great boxers, and Pacquiao was once again favored. It started off all Pacquiao, throwing punch after punch and winning each round by a point. In the third round Pacquiao was smashed with a right hook and fell to the ground. Still Pacquiao was winning and then in round four he struck at Marquez and evened the knock downs one to one. Then in the sixth round while Manny was delivering blow after blow, the stumping Marquez threw with everything he had a right hook straight to the middle of Pacquiao's face. Right into the nose and making him fall straight to the ground. Pacquiao fell and was knocked out by one of the strongest punches you will ever see. He broke his nose and entire face was ruined. Some thought at that moment, with Pacquiao face first on the  floor that he was dead. His wife was screaming and crying at impact. He laid there, silent without moving for a solid minute before being dragged up. In his interview he praised Marquez as all viewers just starred as his face. Mouth bleeding violently, nose completely flat, and eyes so baggy and swollen with blue under them.
