New England vs Miami Dolphins Win over Tom Brady

Getting a break from the snow and ice, New England Patriots are playing at Miami Dolphins Stadium.   With the warm sun shining the England Patriots are feeling good.  Tom Brady can break-out at any moment, or he can break-down at any moment.  Let's see what happen. 

With Tom Brady warm and ready to play, he gets into position and throws a great pass. Until it was intercepted by #31 Michael Thomas  from the Miami Dolphins.  To Thomas surprise he spotted a ball coming his way and made the effort to kick the excitement into gear.  Then the fire moves on with the Miami Dolphins and never stopped.  The plays were made, the ball kept coming and the Dolphins kept making the touchdowns happen.

With New England slow start this game surly picked up excitement in the 2nd half.  New England Patriots began to make touchdowns and came back slowly to make a run to beat the Miami Dolphins, but the slow start ended without bang.  The Dolphins clearly wanted a Wild Card spot for the playoff and they now have it.  They came into the game knowing that this game was a make or break it spot. They did what they had to win the game and reserve a spot in the Wild Card. Great job Dolphins, you guys have a chance move forward into the playoffs. 

As for Tom Brady, sorry Tom, this this game goes to the Miami Dolphins.  They played well against the Patriots and showed just how much they needed and wanted the win. 

NE 20, MIA 24

Tom Brady has played well all season long and it's surprising that we see a loss from his team near the end of the season.  Will the Patriots lose more games before the playoffs?   Or will we see the Patriots break-out in the next few games?  Stay tune to find out.

Miami Heat vs Indiana Pacers Pressure Game

Heat loses again but not worried about taking the 1st Division seed for the playoffs.  The Heat are trying to form a good well-rounded team.  Being an older team, they are looking for a good healthy balance . 

Coach Erik Spoelstra is taking the pressure off his starting team in order to have them compete healthy.  He knows the importance of keeping his older team from injuries that are bound to occur.  By changing his coaching, Erik is making room for his older team to play healthy while on the court.  He has acquired good help from Beasley and Mr. (Birdman) Andersen to fill the gap.  With the extra added help, Coach Spoelstra is sure to develop a good healthy older team to play as long as they can without the injuries. 

So Miami Heat wants the pressure taken off them to seed the No.1 Division playoff seat.  They want to get into the playoffs without the pressure of completing at a high level.  Miami understands they are an older team and understand being No. 1 is not the best for their team.  Being in the playoffs has become one goal over being No.1 in the Division.   

So Indiana Pacers took the lead after a slow start.  Being focus and playing with lots of talent has taken them to this win. The Pacers are a young team with a lot of good healthy talent.  They can play long minutes and still produce good number's.  The Pacers are a team that can take the lead late in the 3rd quarter and keep the momentum going for the win.   

I'm loving these Indiana Pacers, they are focused on the outcome.  They are playing every game like they are in the playoffs.  They have decided that each night they play, it will be one step closer to the finals.

Kudos Pacers!!! Well done!!! 

Can the Heat recover after losing several games in a row?  Will Coach Spoelstra new coaching technique survive the change before the season is over?  Or will the new technique bring the Heat back to the No.1 spot in their Division?

I'm watching to see what happens with the Heat because Coach Spoelstra new technique may be more mentally exhausting to absorb with the extra added help, than playing longer minutes with your starting team.  Hmm care to share?

Carolina Panthers vs New Orleans Saints 9-3 Division Leaders

Trying to clinch the 1st Division playoff spot, the Panthers and the Saints are ready for action.  They know each game is critical to win and both quarterbacks understand the pressure.   Both teams will respond to the call.  So who will win tonight's game? 

Carolina Panthers #1 Cam Newton is ready to show off his skills.  He's ready to put those great percentage numbers to work.  He coming at the Saints with all he has.  But tonight Cam can't Jam.  Trying everything Cam can't seen to hit a good play against the Saints.  Struggling on the field with plays, the Carolina Panthers can't seem to complete. The Saints are running Cam in the ground.  Sacking him every chance they get.  Poor guy will be sore this morning (laughing).  The Panthers are certainly frozen and can't seem to move or remember how to play this game.  Penalty after penalty are called on the Panthers and puts a big d-e-n-t in their game.

The Saints are playing well and headed to the 1st Division playoff spot.  Carolina had a chance to get into this game.  But with not being covered well and sacked so many times, Cam could not loose the ball.  And when he did the Panthers were confused on how to receive it.  The Panthers were numb but hope to see them heat-up for the next game.

Congrats Saints on the Win. CAR 13, NO 31 


NFC South Division standings now,  NO 10-3, CAR 9-4./Win loss games

Will the Panthers move the Saints from the top of the Division list?  It's possible with a few more games left to play the Panthers just may heat up the competition.  Can't wait to see what happens.

STL Rams vs Arizona Cardinals MVP Game

Arizona Cardinals are playing at home and have a great record with winning home games.  The Rams know this but also know that this is a must win game coming from losing the last couple.  The Rams have to make it work.  They have to put a win in sight.  And this is the call of the moment.  So let's see what happens.

Starting with Cardinals #11 Larry Fitzgerald.  He's looking good and making the 1st catch of the evening.  Great job Fitzgerald.  He is ready for this game.  He's taking off to a great start and so is Cardinals #21 Peterson.  Running the ball Peterson takes a out of bound personal hit by the Rams.  Not good Rams this take the Cardinals up 15 yards with the personal foul in the 1st quarter.  Cardinals are feeling great now and with the help of quarterback Palmer they slide into the 1st touchdown for the evening. 

They are running some great plays,  They are  gelling together and they know it. With kicking the return ball to the Rams at the one yard line, the Cardinals snap a safety fold.  Not what the Rams were looking for.  But the Cardinals are happy to accept the 2-point fold and get ball back in their hands. 

After struggling the 1st half,  Rams #11 Austin takes the kick return ball down field. Now Austin is playing some great ball for the Rams, but can't win the game by himself.  Rookie Austin is catching well and running well.  Dipping into pockets and coming out alive.  So he takes the Rams downfield and they are now close enough for a quick touchdown. Giving the ball to running back Stacy made a great play.  He see an opening and takes the ball through.  Finally a touchdown by the Rams.  Scores stands STL 10, ARI 23.

So the Rams are playing to move up the ladder. They see an opportunity.  They see a chance to turn this game around.  They are ready and so is Quarterback #10 Clemons.  On the field Clemons moves to increase the Rams score.  With trying several plays and not covered well, Clemons take a hard hit that leaves him down a few minutes.  This is not looking good.  But Clemons determine to recover and help his team, gets back into the game and to his surprise throws an interception and the Cardinals respond with a touchdown. OUCH!!!  It's all over now Score STL 10, ARI 30

The Cardinals Win the Game.  Can the Cardinals continue to play well at home?  Can they play just as well on the Road?  Tune in to find out.  But before we sign out let's talk a little MVP from the night.

MVP of the night is Cardinals #11 Larry Fitzgerald, he is having a great football game.  Rams knew he was the one to watch for and they were doing so.  But Larry Fitzgerald was taking the Rams on.  Making the 1st down, 2nd down, and touchdowns, and taking the Arizona Cardinals to a win over the STL Rams.  Larry Fitzgerald was clearly the MVP in the game.  He looked good and felt good.  Larry is playing some great ball right now.  I look forward to seeing more of him on the field.

Miami Heat vs Chicago Bulls Must Win Game

Miami Heat are looking for a win.  What they didn't know was that the Bulls were TOO-HOT-TOO-TROT.  The Bulls were on fire!!!!  They felt the Heat and wanted to put out the fire.  Playing without Rose, the Bulls knew exactly what needed to be done.  They had a plan and that plan worked from beginning to end. 






Coming out LeBron James is playing hard for his team.  He is making shots count and even playing triple point plays.  As we can see James was concerned about winning this game and wanted to make every basket count.  Coming from a hard loss to the Detroit Pistons, the Heat are trying to figure out how to get the rhythm going for a win.  Nothing seemed to help.  With bringing in a little action from the bench, those guys brought their scoring up a few points, but not enough to bring them close to seeing a win.



Chicago was clearly giving the Heat TROUBLE.  The Bulls were playing with confidence.  They had set-in their minds, this is a win, win game.  Whatever it takes.  They knew they had to attack the Heat early on and keep the rhythm going until the end. 

The Bulls were having a great night, but N O A H was having a BIGGER night.  He was making unbelievable shots.  Slipping into pockets and ending with a POW, POW, BANG, BANG. Great job Noah, this was certainly your night.  And the fans enjoyed it.  The Bulls has become a very competitive team.  They are in the Teams to beat.  Watch for these guys in the Post Season.  They are preparing well.

If they continue to have BIG nights, who will step up to their challenge?

Let's find out.

Brooklyn Nets vs New York Knicks Shooting one Win at a Time

Starting off both teams are playing well.  Both teams wants to win.  With both Teams at the bottom of their NBA Division list, they know how important it is to start winning games.   And both coaches are making sure their team understand this.   

Jason Kidd is on the floor sending signs to his players on running screens. He's pushing his team to play smart and better.  Kidd wants continuous momentum throughout the game.  But he's struggling with sending this message and to bring his team up to play.  With Paul Pierce and Deron Williams out with injuries, Brooklyn Nets only have a few player that can shoot point baskets.  Kidd is believing with all confidence that his team can play better in time.  But the question is, do  they  have  time? 

Coach Mike Woodson is doing what a coach normally does, he's coaching and wants his team to win because he
knows they are also at the bottom of the list.  Woodson is telling his team, guys, give them one shot at a time to allow us the ball back.  Mike noticed that Brooklyn was scooping up a shot and a rebound and a rebound in one play.  He knew that if they kept going after the ball and getting it this game could turn bad.  With great listeners the Knicks responds to Woodson call.

Knicks kicks things into actions and keeps the game going to their advantage.  With Brooklyn struggling the Knicks are happy to be playing well.  Well done Knicks!! Topping off the win with 30 points over, Brooklyn still showed sportsmanship and congratulated them with the win.

Nets 83, Knicks 113

Can these two Coaches move their teams from the bottom of the list?  If so how long will it take them?

SF 49ers Host STL Rams Physical Game

One physical game.

Two rival teams battling it out for the win.  Both teams are looking for a fight early in the game.  49ers #15 Crabtree starting it off and it seem like the other players on both teams follow him.  Not good guys.  Flags are coming down and they are all well deserved. 

With the Play of the Day, 49ers #85 Vernon Davis is making plays and jumping hurdles for the next down.  Beautiful guys just beautiful.  To see Vernon Davis in the air to catch the ball and hurdles over the Rams player was a beautiful sight.  Just when you thought he was about to fall, Vernon Davis steps in stride and move it down field. 

Moving on into the 1st half, both teams are playing hard to make a touchdown but can't seem to reach the en-zone.  Both teams are scratching their heads and adjusting plans to see if anything will help make a touchdown happen.  

Coming in the 2nd half the 49ers have figured it out.  Bam, the touchdowns begin and the party is on.  The 49ers are feeling good and making plays happen.  Rams are not happy at all with hitting field goals so the emotions and tension starts to flare.  Yep you guess it, the fights begins.  Flags are flying all over the place and players are pushing and shoving each other with penalties against them. 

At the end the 49ers have done it again, they won the game like a team.  As for the Rams looks like they won the fight and need some help on how to control those emotions on the field.  STL 13, SF 23

 

But one thing I did notice, is that no one is eyeing Colin Kaepernick, this guy have open room to run the next down without a touch.  Rams have to know that Colin plays all positions and you cannot take your eye off this guy, because when you do, he has made the play. 

With a new home coming the 49ers are preparing well for a Warm Welcome.

Will the 49ers play this well in their new home?
Can Colin Kaep. run the plays without a touch?
