Are Techs' Too Easy Now?

Sunay night the Heat and Celtics battled it on the court, literally. The game was talked about in anticipation because both teams are Finals contenders. Many people were waiting for this match up in the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals hence the reason for the technical fouls. The technicals were between Paul Pierce and James Jones and then Paul Pierce and Dwyane Wade. The argument arose if technical fouls were beginning to be called for anything. This is a serious dispute becuase in any professional sport when players are given fouls, card, or technicals they have to pay a fine for misconduct. Apart from this, they begin to get bad reputations around the media. This is the first technica called on both Paul Pierce and James Jones:

The second pair of technicals and the one that got Paul Pierce expulsed from the game and potentially causing their loss was this play almost immediatly after:

Whatever the call should have been, doesn't matter. This wont be the last time that they get to see eachother. Emotions are going to be running high when they meet again in the American Airlines Arena.

Tippin' Off The Playoffs

The Semi-Finals began Sunday night. Heat-Celtics and Bulls-Hawks in the East, Thunder-Grizzles and Lakers-Mavericks in the West. Both of these series are promosing.

Lets talk a little about the Memphis Grizzlies. They surprisingly made it into the Playoffs finishing 8th in the Western Conference. Unfortunately they had to play the 1st seed San Antonio Spurs that were coming off a winning spree to finish off the regular season. The series seemed like a sweep in favor of the Spurs, having more than 30 years of experience on their team and even more with their outstanding head coach: Greg Popolovich. This didn't prove to be true. The Grizzlies out played the superstar team in six games. The Grizzlies ended an era of the Spurs, and decided offically the future of Greg Popolovich.

This young and energetic Grizzlie team is not pulling off a lucky streak because last nast they beat the menacing Oklahoma City Thunder 114-101. The game was a duel between two young teams. Although the Grizzlies almost swept the Spurs and have taken a 1-0 lead against the Thunder I'm not filling in my brackets yet because this series will go, to at least, six games.
