Game 5 goes to the Heat in Slugfest

This game was intense, physical and downright dirty. The Heat dominated in every category and pulled out a 115 - 83 win to get a 3-2 series lead on the Pacers. But that doesn't mean that one side did all the damage, in fact both sides did damage to the players physically. Flagrant fouls were were plentiful as UD, Hansborough, and Pittman all were causing trouble. Pittman's was the worst by far as Stevenson was going for the offensive rebound and Pittman literally elbowed him in the neck, trying to box out. It was a reckless play and will most likely result in his suspension. Haslem's foul liked like a punch to Hansborough's face and seemed to be a ejection in the making, but was only called for a Flagrant One. Game 6 will be Thursday in Indiana, and with Granger day to day with a sprained ankle; the Heat look to finish the series. IF that were to happen, Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals would be either on Saturday if Boston beats the 76ers on Wednesday, or on Monday if the Sixers win. Either way the road doesn't get any easier for "El Calor" (the Heat).

Stay Schemin people

Game 5 Halftime... Let's Catch Up

That 1st half was crazy! Two Flagrant fouls, Joel Anthony with a HUMONGOUS block on Granger, Wade and his magic in the lane, LeBron's windmill throwdown and oh I almost forgot LeBron to Wade back to LeBron for the fastbreak layup that just beats the buzzer. Phew!

Now that I have some time to kill between halves, it's time to catch up on what we've missed.

 THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

Anticipation is building as it closes in on zero hour for the Dark Knight Rises. Not only has a new trailer come out that features a ton of footage, but new character posters have been released, this poster is one of them. The other two are of Catwoman and Bane, and all three have their eyes shaded out and a pretty depressing backdrop. Nolan has really been pushing that this is the end of his run with Batman, and as much hype it is building, I am finding it a bit overwhelming. Don't get me wrong this is going to be a phenomenal movie and the gameplan from Nolan is good, but I'm growing a bit tired of it. I guess because I just want to see the end already!!!! The movie comes out on July 18th.











SKYFALL

The name's Fall...... Skyfall and recently the 23rd Bond film released it's first trailer! Check it out here and comment your thoughts. After seeing it for myself, I gotta say this is going to be a rather dark and dirty Bond movie. No doubt there'll be charm, women, and action but the whole film from what has been shown and discussed seems to really put Bond, and M, in a desperate situation. Also the Bond girls Berenice Marlohe and Naomi Harris are looking especially sexy in this one. Can't wait for this movie to come out in the fall.


THE AVENGERS

The Avengers are still dominating the box office as they are now #4 on the all-time grossing list globally and #5 domestically garnering a whopping total of $1,186,653,451.


I'll update on Gaming tomorrow. Gotta focus on post game for CBS. 


Stay Schemin people.

Been busy still... now it's SUMMER!!!!

Ugh now that finals are over and I'm moved into my new house I can get back to my blog. Thank god I'm back. So let's get back to busy then shall we?

A lot of things have happened since my last post. Dark Knight Rises trailer, Skyfall trailer, new game footage, E3 is not far away and my Miami Heat are struggling against the Pacers. Not to mention I'm still rocking it with CBS sports over at WFOR channel 4 in Miami. There's so much to catch up on but for now I'm focusing on the Heat cause right now I'm over at the American Airlines Arena with my producer Leo Gomez to watch Game 5. Time to set the stage.

The series is tied 2-2 after prime time performances from Dwyane Wade and LeBron James. Respectively they put up 30 and 40 points, 70 of the Heat's 101 points. Doubt they'll be able to pull that out of there bag of tricks again, but now that they're back home they won't need it. The crowd will be fired up, and Udonis Haslem has given them a reason to. After receiving 9 stitches due to physical play in Game 4, UD provided the spark plug, something sorely missed in this series.

And the crowd is being given band aids with UD and 40 on them. From what I've seen so far, it's a huge hit and the fans are ready to go OFF.

As for the Pacers, Roy Hibbert has to stay out of foul trouble. He is the X factor and when he's on the court, the on court efficiency of Indiana is substantially higher than when he's off. And if any of you think Danny Granger is a difference maker, all he's provided to this series is some 3 pointers and prodding LeBron one too many times.

With that said, this is gonna be fun. Sure I've been sitting in this arena already for near 3 and a half hours, but the payoff is worth it. Not to mention live shots and soundbytes in Post. The life of an aspiring anchor is a busy one. Stay Schemin everybody.
