In my last post, I predicted that Kevin Durrant would make a difference in the series, and boy did he make a difference. He scored 38 points in a 113-91 Warriors rout. We all thought this was going to be closer, but ESPN said the Cavs have a 7% chance of winning. It looks like the Warriors are on their way to getting their revenge. They will try to come one win closer tonight at 8:00.

Subban's goal got overturned because of an offside, they lost that momentum. The Penguins took advantage of this and took a 3-0 lead, but Nashville tied it. The Penguins eventually won, but they only took 12 shots. The Predators had a chip on their shoulders in Game 2, and Pittsburgh took advantage. They took a 2-0 series lead with a 4-1 win, but the series moved to Nashville, and at one point, the Predators won 11 straight home playoff games. The Penguins took an early lead, but Nashville scored five unanswered goals to bring the series to 2-1.

He struck out 10 and only threw 96 pitches. This is the best time for sports. The Stanley Cup, NBA Finals, and MLB are all happening at the same time. Enjoy the games!

The Cleveland Cavaliers are trying to do something even more impossible than what they did last year: come back form being down 3-0 in the series. The Warriors dominated the first two games, but game 3 was a thriller that the Warriors barely won. Last night however, it was the Cavs who dominated. They set some many records, that in order to see them all, you have to click here.  http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/19593666/nba-playoffs-2017-nba-finals-records-set-game-4  Also there is an incredible play by Lebron. Can he lead Cleveland to a second straight title, or will Golden State use their home court advantage? Speaking of home advantage, the Penguins creamed the Predators in game 5 in Pittsburgh. However, I think the Preds will force a game 7, because game 6 is in Nashville. The Finals are coming to a dramatic end, so be sure not to miss a moment.

Finals have both been decided, and they look familiar. For the third straight year, the Cavaliers will face the Warriors in the NBA Finals. The Warriors won the 2015 Finals in six games, but the Cavs came back from being down 3-1 to win the 2016 Finals. This year, I think the Warriors will get revenge on Cleveland because they are hungrier, and they added Kevin Durant in the off-season. In the NHL, it will be the second straight year in which the Penguins will face a team in its first Stanley Cup Final. Nashville will hope that it will do better than last year's Sharks, who lost to Pittsburgh in five. Pittsburgh will try to win two straight for the second time in franchise history. However, the Predators are a very tough, resilient team, and if anyone can beat the champs, its Nashville. Tune in tonight to see who will win the first game of what I think will be a very close Final.

Michael Gabner's wrap around first period goal was the second out of four Rangers goals in Game 3. Game 4 is tomorrow. The NHL playoff matchups are becoming closer, as the Ducks and Capitals could get even with wins tonight after being down 2-0 before Game 3 wins. The Capitals did this by beating the Penguins 3-2 in Overtime. They caught a break after Sidney Crosby got a concussion. Despite having tied the game at three, the OIlers were overwhelmed by the Ducks, who won 6-3. The team that could not tie their series was the Blues  They could not score enough and lost to Nashville 2-1. The Predators could advance on Friday. The Rangers accomplished did come back in their series last night and had an offensive explosion at Madison Square Garden. They beat the Senators 4-1 thanks to two first period goals and two second period goals.  The Senators scored their lone goal after all four New York goals were scored. Isaiah Thomas electrified the crowd with his 53 points on ...
