Playoffs...

           



                The 2015-2016 NBA playoffs are rounding in very soon. The playoffs officially start on April 16, 2016. The regular season started on October 27, 2015 and will end on April 13, 2016. So far there are only 4 teams that have landed a spot in the playoffs. From the Western Conference, the Golden State Warriors, San Antonio Spurs, and Oklahoma City Thunder have made it into the playoffs. From the Eastern Conference only the Cleveland Cavaliers have landed a spot in the playoffs. Even though these four teams have made it into the playoffs, they are still not done playing for the regular season, They still have to finish the rest of the regular season games, in order to see which other teams will be advancing into the playoffs. In the Western Conference there are five more spots available to go to the playoffs. As of right now those five spots are taken by the LA Clippers, Memphis Grizzlies, Portland Trailblazers, Houston Rockets, and the Dallas Mavericks. In the Eastern Conference there are seven spots available for the playoffs, but currently are taken by the Toronto Raptors, Miami Heat, Atlanta Hawks, Boston Celtics, Charlotte Hornets, Indiana Pacers, and the Chicago Bulls. Any of these teams could be bumped off before the regular season ends if they aren't at their best. The playoffs are so close, but yet so far.

Curry Shoes

             

 I'm pretty sure that we all know that Stephen Curry has his own line of basketball shoes. First the Curry ones came out, but then recently the Curry twos came out as well. These Under Armour shoes are very popular, but the question is: Why did Stephen Curry get signed with Under Armour instead of Nike? Well first of all Nike did indeed approach Stephen Curry to sign a contract, to get his line of shoes, but Curry had one condition. His only condition was that he would be able to put his favorite Bible verse from the Philippians, 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthen me." The Nike company didn't like this idea, so Curry did not sign the contract with Nike. After that Under Armour approached him and they liked and accepted Curry's condition. Stephen Curry's shoes are the fastest selling item by Under Armour. He has many different colors of both his Curry one and Curry two shoes, but his Curry two shoes are the most popular right now. Below are some of his famous Curry Two shoes.


             

Warriors VS Lakers

                    Today the Golden State Warriors played against the L.A. Lakers. Surprisingly the champs lost to the Lakers. Most of the game the Lakers were overpowering the Warriors. By the end of the first quarter the score was 22-21 with Lakers up by one. At halftime the score was 60-49 with Lakers still winning. By the third quarter the Lakers were winning with 84-73. Finally the game came to an end with the final score being 112-95. The Warriors now have 55 wins and 6 losses and the Lakers have 13 wins and 51 losses. If Warriors want to try and still beat the Chicago Bulls record for most wins in a season, then they can't lose more than three games. The Bulls record is 72-10, and will be a tough record to beat. In my opinion I think that the Warriors will beat the record. These past few games have been hard to beat, but they still pull through it. Today was not Curry's day, while only scoring 18 points throughout the whole game. This is very rare for him to score very low. This is just one of Curry's bad games, but I guarantee that he will still continue to impress everyone with his ridiculous threes.
