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.
