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.
