The Hobbit Trailer

Just a few days I uploaded the trailer for The Dark Knight Rises and what an enticing trailer it was. A couple of days ago saw the release of the trailer for The Hobbit. If you appreciated the art and story telling of the Lord of the Rings franchise, then you must go to the very beginning starting with the story of Bilbo Baggins. The Hobbit is in theaters December 14th 2012.

NBA Playoffs 2011 Predictions

I’ll start off my 2011 campaign with my predictions for the NBA Playoffs. By the time this article is published, there will already be two days of basketball played. With that being said, I am predicting every round separately, including the Finals. So without further ado here are my predictions starting with the Eastern Conference.

The Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy, showcas...

1. Chicago Bulls

vs

8. Indiana Pacers

My Winner- Chicago

 Expect MVP candidate Derrick Rose to shine in this series. I honestly believe that Indiana can match up and win two games but the Bulls will take this in six.

4. Orlando Magics

vs

5. Atlanta Hawks

My Winner- Atlanta

I just can not take the Orlando Magics seriously. I can not take Dwight Howard seriously. He is the best center in the league and I want him to take control and be aggressive. It seems he has done that and received many techs this season but something is missing. Develop a jump shot Dwight. The Hawks have the individual pieces to lead through Orlando in five games.

3. Boston Celtics

vs

6. New York Knicks

My Winner- Boston

Home-town pick here. They lost a lot of luster since trading Perkins but I expect them to take care of the Knicks in five games.

2. Miami Heat

vs

7. Philadelphia 76ers

My Winner- Miami

I would love if the Doug Collin’s 76ers push Miami to seven games but all I see is a sweep. Miami will wear Philly down throughout the first couple of games.
