ames and Irving for the Cavs to stop this series going to seven games, which is really the last thing they want after being 2-0 up.So whos going to win the pivota | Forum

The fairytale Western Bulldogs premiership is Exhibit A for the AFL in its defence of the controversial round-23 bye. http://www.ravensrookiestore.com/Ravens-Ryan-Jensen-Jersey/ .The Bulldogs became the first AFL team to win the flag from seventh place when they beat Sydney in Saturdays epic grand final.There has plenty of debate around the leagues decision to introduce a bye weekend between round 23 and the start of the finals series.It was introduced to stop finals-bound teams resting players in large numbers for round 23.Four-time Hawthorn premiership coach Alastair Clarkson and Fremantle counterpart Ross Lyon have been vocal opponents, saying it dilutes the advantage of finishing in the top four.It is notable that Geelong and the Giants went out of the finals in straight sets.But it was a huge benefit for the Bulldogs, who recalled five players for their elimination final against West Coast.Of those, Jack Macrae, Tom Liberatore, Jordan Roughead and Easton Wood all played in Saturdays premiership and Matt Suckling was an unlucky omission.To get those guys back, the bye really helped us, Bulldogs veteran Matthew Boyd told Channel Sevens Game Day.I know a lot of people have probably spoken ill about the bye, but Ive loved it.Boyd was asked whether they would have won the flag without the pre-finals bye.Its hard to speculate on those sorts of things, but if we didnt have the bye, we wouldnt have gotten some of those players back (for the Eagles final), Boyd said.The Bulldogs easily beat West Coast in a big upset to start the finals series.It gave the Dogs massive momentum and captain Easton Wood revealed the win was the moment he started thinking they could win the premiership.It was probably after that West Coast game ... we limped into that bye, we lost to Freo over in (Perth) and we obviously knew how big a task it would be to beat West Coast, Wood told Channel Nines Footy Show.To win the way we did there, so emphatically, and the total performance the boys put in, it was amazing.I remember being out there, just thinking shit, this team can really play - we might do the whole lot. http://www.ravensrookiestore.com/Ravens-Alex-Lewis-Jersey/ . The 17-year-old native of Marystown, N.L., pulled out of Skate Canada International last month in Saint John, N.B., with the same problem. http://www.ravensrookiestore.com/Ravens-Lardarius-Webb-Jersey/ . Hey!" The lower tier of the School End of Queens Park Rangers Loftus Road was packed solid with a very festive-sounding Chelsea choral section in this particular part of South Africa Road London, W12. http://www.ravensrookiestore.com/Ravens-Maxx-Williams-Jersey/ . Following a lopsided 5-2 loss against the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday night, Paul MacLean told reporters that "theres a lack of focus, theres a lack of leadership and theres a lack of preparation" with his struggling team. That came on the heels of Bryan Murray taking the unusual step of going into the locker room at the Prudential Center and addressing the players himself.With the Cleveland Cavaliers level with the Toronto Raptors after four games and the Golden State Warriors 2-1 down to the Oklahoma City Thunder, who will go through to the NBA Finals? Alex Ferguson answers the questions. Whats happened?If you want an NBA Conference Finals set of pure craziness, then go no further than both the Golden State vs Oklahoma City and Cleveland vs Toronto series which will decide the winners of the Western and Eastern Conferences, respectively.Both Golden State and Cleveland were meant to win their series pretty comfortably, with Cleveland especially anticipated to have no trouble with the Raptors whatsoever. The amount of US media that used the words its over when Cleveland pummelled the Raptors to go 2-0 up was astonishing. Since then its been one-way traffic, and not in the way of LeBron James and Co. Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors goes up against Steven Adams of the Oklahoma City Thunder With Golden State and Oklahoma City, its been a weird series. Golden State had a comfortable lead in Game 1, blew it, and then lost the game on a controversial travelling call, where many believed Oklahoma Citys Russell Westbrook had taken too many steps.Golden State roared back to take Game 2 comfortably, and you thought the end was nigh for Kevin Durant, Westbrook and Co. Well, theyve beaten the Spurs already, you thought, give them their due until next time. Well, Oklahoma City werent quite ready to walk yet, smashing Golden State by 28 points in Game 3 and battering the Warriors on both ends of the glass - despite Steph Curry still dropping nearly 30 of his own.A quick shout-out must go to The Thunders Steven Adams, who took what looked like a legitimate kick to the groin from Draymond Green in Game 4. He played on. Cory Joseph of the Toronto Raptors shoots against James So what should we watch out for in the pivotal next games?It might sound stupid bearing in mind they are 2-1 up but Oklahoma City, who have a reputation of being NNBA chokers, have to win Game 4 on Tuesday night. http://www.ravensrookiestore.com/Ravens-Crockett-Gillmore-Jersey/. ou might say but that means that the series is still tied, but if youre 2-1 up against Golden State and have beaten them more times than most teams beat them in the regular season, you have to be aggressive and go for the jugular in Game 4. Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder drives against Curry If Durant and Westbrook are consistent (Westbrook cant have the 16-point game he had in Game 2 or the awful start he had in Game 1), then its going to scare Golden State, for whom only Curry is really firing properly. The Thunder will try to annoy the volatile Green, who was awful in Game 3 but will be hell-bent on revenge. As for Golden State, they have to keep feeding the ball to Curry and Klay Thompson.Thompson has got to get back into it, after not-great back-to-back games, where he failed to hit the 20-point mark.In Cleveland, the Cavs cant look at it as two opportunities lost, because Toronto were actually a very good home team, losing only nine games in the Air Canada Centre all season long. But although James was his usual excellent self in both the away games, Kyrie Irving was dreadful in Game 3 and only rebounded slightly in Game 4. Joseph of the Toronto Raptors guards Kyrie Irving And the poorest of the lot has been Kevin Love who managed 13 total points in Toronto, and has been atrocious from three-point range - which was meant to be a strength of his. Love has to get his offensive game together to be a good enough foil for James and Irving for the Cavs to stop this series going to seven games, which is really the last thing they want after being 2-0 up.So whos going to win the pivotal games?I think Game 4 is going to be won by Oklahoma City which is going to put the Warriors within one game of elimination, and I think Cleveland take Game 5 at home on Wednesday night.And whos my tip to win the Conference Finals?(Deep Breath): Ill go Golden State in seven games and Cleveland in seven games.  Wholesale NFL Jerseys Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys NFL Jerseys From China Cheap Nike Basketball Jerseys Wholesale Hockey Jerseys China Nike Baseball Jerseys Cheap College Jerseys China Cheap Football Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Canada Wholesale NHL Jerseys Canada Wholesale Nike MLB Jerseys Canada Cheap NBA Jerseys Authentic Canada Stitched Soccer Jerseys Canada Cheap Jerseys Canada NFL ' ' '
