GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS VS SAN ANTONIO SPURS IN THE FIRST ROUND

The first round of NBA playoffs is about to begin in just a few days. The Golden State Warriors will be facing the San Antonio spurs in the first round, this is a rivalry that most fans are waiting for.

Kawhi Leonard will be out, no signs of him coming back but the Spurs have showed some firepower in the late season, Manu Ginobili is still there together with fire power power forward Lamarcus Aldridge who is averaging 20 plus pts this season, his best season in Spurs.

Stephen Curry is still out but Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson for sure will carry the struggling Golden State Warriors.

BOLDEST PREDICTION: 4-3, San Antonio Spurs will upset the Warriors.

ANDRE INGRAM, THE NEW HOPE OF LOS ANGELES LAKERS

The Los Angeles found a new hope in the name of Brandon Ingram, a 32 year old rookie coming from G-league. In his debut, Ingram scores 19 pts in 20 plus minutes of action. Chris Paul was impressed by the 32 year old rookie.

Is he the next KOBE BRYANT? definitely not but his leadership skills and inspiration brings a new element for the struggling Lakers team, I'm sure he will get an extension for the next season. The Lakers didn't found success from Lonzo Ball but at least Ingram is giving them a reason to stay positive.

THE 2018 NBA PLAYOFFS IS COMING

We're just a few days away from watching the greatness again, the 2018 NBA playoffs is coming. It is the most anticipated playoffs ever. There are lot of dramas that we've seen during the regular season. The Cleveland Cavaliers made a lot of crazy trades, there are lot of season ending injuries that changes the shape of the league. Demarcus Cousins was out, Kyrie Irving won't play in the playoffs, Stephen Curry was still questionable, we don't know what is going on with Kawhi Leonard's life.

The Houston Rockets was steady and they are the favorite to win the championship, Toronto Raptors made a huge improvement and they think they are ready to dethrone King Lebron James. The Philadelphia 76ers is showing bright chances of winning the Easter Conference, Ben Simmons is awesome so as Joel Embiid who is likely to comeback in the first round of elimination.

Portland Traiblazers made a run that gives them security on the third spot, Utah Jazz surprised the league once more and is playing really great lead by their super rookie Donovan Mitchell.

Anthony Davis' MVP numbers is carrying the Pelicans who was supported by the emerging point guard Rajon Rondo, who finally found a home that will embrace his play making abilities.

Golden State Warriors is still a contender but a lot of experts feel that they don't have it anymore, the injuries were weakening them and the Houston Rockets is outplaying them in the regular season.

BOLD PREDICTION: Cleveland Cavaliers VS Houston Rockets in the finals.

KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOV DOMINATED AL IAQUINTA FOR FIVE ROUNDS

As expected... Khabib Nurmagomedov dominated Al Iaquinta for five 5-minute rounds. Khabib imposes his will and take his relentless take downs to keep Al Iaquinta in a survival mode for 5 rounds. Iaquinta landed some good shots but none of them threatens Khabib. Khabib Nurmagomedov is now 26-0 in the octagon and is wanting to fight Georges St. Pierre in November.

Iaquinta showed some heart in the fight, he was almost submitted by Khabib for how many times but his cardio and fighting spirit was never crushed by Khabib.

Khabib was suppose to fight Max Holloway as a replacement for Tony Ferguson but Max was removed from the card by the New York Commission due to being unfit to cut weight.

CONOR MCGREGOR IS FACING MULTIPLE CHARGES

Conor McGregor has done it once again... he and his crew attacked the UFC bus. Khabib Nurmagomedov, Rose Namajunas, Michael Chiesa, Ray Borg and other UFC fighters were inside the bus. Michael Chiesa suffered a cut on his forehead that stops him from competing at the UFC 223. Ray Borg was injured too according to him and was removed from the card.

According to different sources, Conor Mcgregor will be sued by different people.

MAX HOLLOWAY OR KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOV?

It's official, Max "blessed" Holloway replaced Tony Ferguson to fight "the eagle" Khabib Nurmagomedov. Good thing that Max was able to save the card because a lot of fans got disappointed when Tony pulled out because of a nasty injury.

This is probably the shortest time table for a fighter to prepare. Max Hollloway has only six days to prepare against a beast opponent in the name of Khabib Nurmagomedov. Khabib is so confident that he can beat max, according to him.. he will give max a hard time for five rounds, that's if Max can last that long. Khabib is pointing out that Max has a very short time to prepare for him and that Max is only looking for a lucky punch,

We all know that Max's best strategy is to tire his opponents out and make them quit, Khabib is so confident that Max will not be able to do what he has done against Aldo, Pettis and any other opponents against him, he said that he prepared for this fight for three months and Max is only drinking beers and travelling last week so Max has no time to prepare for this fight.

According to Max Holloway, he is prepared and ready to take the title, he said that he is fighting for legacy not money, Khabib is always pointing out that Max is only fighting for money and there is only a slight chance that Max can beat him, he said that Max Holloway is not ready for this fight.

Khabib is an outstanding wrestler and he can take anyone down, he has a relentless cardio, his pressure is suffocating but we all know that Max Holloway loves pressure and he has an outstanding cardio too, we will see on UFC 223 who is the real king of UFC, if Max Holloway won this fight then he is the first fighter who have two championship belts who were able to defend one of his belt. Conor McGregor was able to win two belts at the same time but hasn't defended any of his belt.

ATHLETES WHO WERE CAUGHT USING STEROIDS

Using steroids were so epidemic nowadays, athletes are using it just to have an edge from their opponent, they want to win so they will try everything just to win even taking illegal substances. While it's not fair to judge if these athletes really use this... they're urine sample were caught not clean, there is something in their urine that the commission is investigating. It's up to you if you will believe if your idol is clean or not, some of them admit it but some of them are still denying it.

1. Jon Jones. He must be the greatest fighter of all time but the steroids controversy keeps on derailing his career.

2. Brock Lesnar. I think Brock really loves it, he has been tested positive for illegal substance a lot of times but he doesn't mind, I think he is just having fun.

3. Lance Armstrong. Whether he is a fake or not... Lance must be using some strong substance, he is a champion for how many times and it made him earn millions, I think athletes should ask Lance what is the brand that he is using.

4. Canelo Alvarez. It's so sad that the rematch between Canelo and triple GGG will not happen sooner or later, Canelo withdraw from the rematch because the commission is stopping the fight, I think Saul must have to explain first because fighting again. According to him... he did not use it, the question is... who's guilty already admitted his sins?

5. Anderson Silva. It's so sad that the best striker in UFC has tainted his legacy because of using illegal substance. Anderson Silva's believers continue to diminish because he keeps on getting caught.

Special mention is the Diaz brothers, Nick and Nate were an avid fans of Marijuana, it is not steroids but it is still prohibited by the commission.

IS RED BULL EFFECTIVE?

Red bull is the number one energy drink of all time, I've tried it and it is really effective. No need to warm up, no need make stretches... your body will heat up especially if you're moving. It's like a booster, you will have energy right away and you don't know where it is coming from. You're like a freak, your strength will doubled. Another good thing is... it's delicious, the taste is so addictive.

It will really give you wings, you will feel a different kind of movement in your body, it's like you're turning into a super saiyan. You're becoming a gokou. Drink it, I recommend drinking it 10 minutes before the game or any hard activity that you will do. You will feel that your body is burning, you will feel like a well oiled machine.

But warning... don't abuse it, my advice is just take one or the maximum is two, never take it if you have some health issues or else your life will be in danger.

My judgement is it is really effective just make sure that you will not abuse it and you will not become addicted to it, remember that you're already strong, you don't need energy drinks to win in life.

THE HOUSTON ROCKETS GOT DISMANTLED BY THE SAN ANTONIO SPURS

Just when we thought that the San Antonio Spurs can no longer match up with the elite teams in the west... we are wrong, Greg Popovich and his crew once again show us that team work can beat superstars. The Spurs beat the Rockets to 100-83 victory led by their leading scorer Lamarcus Aldridge who scored 23 points and 14 rebounds. We still don't know if Kawhi Leonard will still return to the line up but the Spurs are really looking good right now without him. It's a two game winning streak for the spurs and currently they are on a 4th spot in west. Rudy Gay contribute a lot coming from the bench scoring 21 points and grabbing 3 rebounds, this is so far this best game in the season.

The Rockets was led by their leading scorer James Harden scoring 25 points and 8 assists palying 36 minutes of the ball game. Their star point guard Chris Paul did not play because of sore left leg.

Patty Mills - 14 points, Danny Green  - 12 points, Murray - 13 points

MAX HOLLOWAY TO STEP UP AND REPLACE TONY FERGUSON VS KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOV

It's a bad and good news. Tony "el cucuy" is injured and the fight between him and Khabib "the eagle" Nurmagomedov will not happen again. The good news is Max "blessed" Holloway is there to replace Tony. Fans would love to see this fight. I was impressed by Max Holloway because this kid is for real, he is not afraid to fight anybody, he got injured last time and for sure he is a little bit rusty but he said that he is ready to fight anybody at anytime if he needs to.

If Max Holloway win this fight then he is the new two time champion holding the belt simultaneously. Conor Mcgregor already done this feat but he didn't defend any of his belt. But Max is a different fighter, he is young and still hungry. If he holds two belts he will try to defend any of those belt if given the chance. Conor Mcgregor defeated Max Holloway before in a non title fight, but this time is different, Max is a different animal now and is willing to become the greatest of all time. But not so fast Max, Khabib is waiting for you, he can eat you like a tiramisu if you're not careful.
