miami heat

Despite having a fever over 101 degrees, Dirk Nowitzki had a huge game 4 in the NBA finals to keep his teams championship hopes alive.

In years past, I have always been the kind of guy who never gives up hope in a sporting event. Even if the team I was rooting was down 31-0, I would watch until the clock said zero. Although I’m still like that with football, now days even when I have money on the line I find it that I’ll change the channel without thinking twice if I feel the game is out of reach.

We are heading into the championships of both the NBA and NHL seasons and while some teams are finding success, others are struggling at the tail end.

The Boston Celtics find themselves in a tough spot tonight down 3 games to 1 against the Miami Heat in the semifinals of the eastern conference playoffs.

Tonight’s game 4 is by far the biggest game of this year’s playoffs. It feels like that if the Celts can win tonight that the Heat are just going to collapse and lose 4 in a row. The big question though is, can the older, wiser, more experienced and most importantly… banged up Celtics win?

I’ll tell you who’s hot… Me! I may have been in Florida, but I didn’t take a vacation from picking basketball games. And with the NBA playoffs around the corner and conference tourneys taking place in college there is a lot of action out there. Now let’s see what’s happening and check out the forecast for tonight!
