My NBA 2012-2013 Season Predictions


     The finals we've all been waiting for will happen this year. The Los Angeles Lakers will take on the defending champions, the Miami Heat: Kobe Bryant vs. Lebron James. This seven game series will settle once and for all who the best team and player are currently in the NBA.
     The main reason the Lakers will win is because of their ability to score. They have various players who can get the ball into the basket. They have twin towers who cannot be matched in Pau Gasol, and in recently signed Dwight Howard. They also have the most intimidating player in the league named Metta World Peace, formally Ron Artest. One of the best point guards in the game, Canadian Steve Nash can set anyone up with an easy basket. And of course, Kobe Bryant, who has the best footwork in the game, and in my opinion, is still the best player in the league.
     The Heat also have new additions. Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis were signed this off season. Both excel in outside shooting. "The Big Three" all know their role within the team. Coming off a MVP season, LeBron James is nearly unstoppable when he drives to the hoop. He is very quick for someone his size. He is also one of the strongest players in the NBA.
     The Raptors have a stronger team than last year's squad, but they still won't make it to the playoffs. Nonetheless, their roster shows potential, and may find a spot in next year's playoffs. The Oklahoma City Thunder are among the top contenders. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are very athletic at such a young age. The Chicago Bulls have shown that they can play without Derrick Rose, but he will be gone for almost the whole year. Despite "The Return" of Derrick Rose, the Bulls won't get far into the playoffs. Other contenders are the Memphis Grizzlies, Boston Celtics, New York Knicks, and San Antonio Spurs. Here are my predictions for the awards of the 2012-2013 NBA Season:

MVP: LeBron James
Finals MVP: Kobe Bryant
Rookie of the Year: Anthony Davis
6th Man of the Year: Ray Allen

I will update this post once I figure out how to create playoff brackets.

Post-speech cry fest. Note: I wanted to release this on August 19th (or whenever my last day of playing League was), but a lot of things came up recently (including the birth of my son), so I am finally sharing this with you guys. My intention was never to sound like a broken record player, but here is where the track finally ends. I am officially quitting/retiring (or however you want to phrase it) from League of Legends. It's time for me to move onto more important things in life. It only took me to have a child for me to quit for good, haha. It's been over 10 years of playing League together. 10 years ago we were silly teenaged-altar servers who saw each other every weekend and spent summers together. After every in person CC event, we seemed to always gravitate to logging onto our toasters and playing a few games of our "favourite" game, League of Legends. We used to log on everyday after highschool, too. We've gone from Skype to Raid call to Discord. From Sea...

November 26-28 p.1-135 Part One: Ashes          It turns out there really is a District 13. This is the new home of Katniss, Gale, and survivors from the bombing of District 12. Everyone in District 13 plans to overthrow the Capitol and rebel, except Katniss. In fact she's not quite sure what she should do and who she can trust. One known fact is that Katniss wants Peeta alive and safe, knowing he's being held hostage by the Capitol. Her character shows definite signs that she misses him. It excites me reading this final book of the series, as it still keeps the action going. Like all happy endings, I predict that somehow Katniss and Peeta will be with each other again. The star crossed lovers from District 12 will marry each other after a crazy series of events. November 29-30 p.137-261 Part Two: The Assault    In the beginning of Part Two, the rebels rescue Peeta. The only problem is Peeta is not his normal self because of "tracker...

 Wow, I can't believe that I haven't posted in my blog for over a year now. I want to take this time to apologize to all my fans... haha. Maybe one day. ~ Anyways, hi, hello, I'm still alive (thankfully). A lot has happened since that last time I wrote in my blog. The COVID-19 Pandemic, Kobe Bryant's death, Apu Fely's death, finally moving on from my childhood friends, becoming a teacher, being offered a Teaching Assistant position at UBC, gaining 20lbs of mainly muscle, etc.  Oh, and my birthday was yesterday. I turned 24.  Creo que mi español ha mejorado también :) Ahora estoy aprendiendo francés y un poco de tagalo. I really do want to write here more frequently. I want it to become a habit. Let's make it happen.  That being said, one of my goals for 2021 is to create a personal website, and it would link to this blog. The website would be something like an online portfolio, linking to my LinkedIn, YouTube, blog, and other online medias. But anyways, sticking...
