Warriors Sweep - Western Conference Quarterfinals Recap

As thousands of New Orleans fans filed out of Smoothie King Center on Saturday evening in disappointment, Golden State faithful across the nation celebrated their first seven-game series sweep since the 1975 NBA Finals.
For the inexperienced Pelicans, it was their first taste of the NBA Playoffs. And although it certainly did not go as planned, the young core of Jrue Holiday, Tyreke Evans, and Anthony Davis only have room to improve.
For the Warriors, it was yet another chapter of an unbelievable run that seemingly began as soon as Steve Kerr became the organization's head coach.
Yet after their remarkable comeback in Game 3 (a game in which they erased a 20-point fourth quarter deficit), last night's victory certainly should not have come as a surprise.
Led by MVP front-runner Stephen Curry, the Warriors prevailed in four highly entertaining contests during this series, and his teammates were quick to give him overwhelming praise.
"He's an unbelievable player. He's the best player in the NBA right now, in my opinion. He's the MVP," Andrew Bogut proclaimed in a postgame interview.
"The shots that he made in the last game and in this game . . . He just keeps us in the game."
Even Monty Williams, coach of the New Orleans Pelicans, could not help but to admire Curry's performances throughout the series.
"I've never seen anything like that. . . Steph is like . . . he's on a different level. Some of the shots he makes, his command of the ball, his ability to finish. And the moment doesn't bother him. I just can't describe it at times. It's easy to say he's playing at a high level. But I think he is in the elite of the elite right now. He's after something. This is important to him, and you can tell by the way he's playing," said Williams.
But while Curry continues to draw attention across the league, the main focus for him and his teammates is to win an NBA Championship.
The Warriors' postseason run will continue in early May, as they take on either the Memphis Grizzlies or Portland Trailblazers in the Western Conference Semifinals.

2016 NBA Finals: Game Four

After being massacred at Quicken Loans Arena in Game Three of the NBA Finals on Wednesday evening, the Golden State Warriors strolled into enemy territory once more on Friday, seeking a confidence-renewing victory. With a win tonight, the Western Conference Champion Warriors could propel themselves to a nearly insurmountable 3-1 series advantage, while pushing the Eastern Conference Champion Cleveland Cavaliers to the brink of elimination. As the game progressed, however, it became clear that Cleveland's aforementioned victory had done wonders for their confidence, whilst Golden State was poised to rebound and shut the door on a rather animated Cavalier rally. Game Four would quickly become the most tightly-contested game of the 2016 NBA Finals thus far. With tempers aflame and the stakes ever-increasing, both the Warriors and Cavaliers would come out firing, in relentless pursuit of a momentum-shifting victory. At the conclusion of the first quarter, Golden State would hold

A's Win First Postseason Series Since 2006, Will Face Astros in ALDS

Despite falling to the Chicago White Sox in Game 1 of the AL Wild Card Series, the Oakland Athletics rebounded with consecutive wins in Games 2 and 3 to snag their first postseason series victory in 14 years, advancing to the ALDS for the first time since 2013. After digging a 3-0 hole in Thursday's decisive Game 3, Oakland rallied with four runs in the fourth inning to take the lead. However, their biggest hit of the afternoon came in the bottom of the fifth, with the score tied 4-4. In perhaps the most crucial plate appearance of his life, Chad Pinder stepped to the plate with an opportunity to defy history. Prior to this at-bat, Pinder had posted a 2-for-35 career mark with the bases loaded. However, on Thursday, he came up with a massive two-run single to propel the A's to a 6-4 advantage. And they didn't look back. Oakland now looks forward to a best-of-5 series with the Houston Astros to be played on neutral ground at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. Needless to say, th

Why Quidditch Is Totally Ridiculous (Yet We Still Love It)

Image
On June 26, 1997,  Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling introduced the world to a remarkable new sport called Quidditch. In theory, Rowling's invention is fairly simple. For those who are unfamiliar with the game, I will provide a brief description of its rules.  Quidditch is played in a 7-on-7 format on flying broomsticks. Each team features three "Chasers" who attempt to throw a large ball (called the Quaffle) past the opposing team's "Keeper" into one of three circular hoops.  Every time the Chasers succeed in beating the Keeper, their team is awarded 10 points. Meanwhile, there are a pair of bat-wielding "Beaters" on each team who add to the chaos by clubbing two smaller balls (called Bludgers) at their opposition. However, the most important position on the field is that of the "Seeker", which is Harry Potter's position on Gryffindor's Quidditch team during his time at Hogwarts.  Each team has one Seeker who scours t
