Philadelphia Flyers @ Chi Blackhawks – NHL 

After a great game starting this Stanley Cup final, the expectations of a great final are high. The Flyers were able to be in the lead during the game for some time, due to 5 goals scored in the fist 2 periods. But in the last period, the Hawks were finally able to bounce back, scoring while suffering none goal.

The game didn’t have lot’s of shots, but had a great accuracy. Both teams are motivated, and even with a loss, the Flyers are pretty good to handle with defeats. But after such a great game from both teams, we could expect the same confidence from the players to score easily today as well.

One particularity is that only Flyers had PP situations, scoring only one PP goal. From these goad teams in PP situations, we can expect a great improve today, and more than only one PP goal in the Read More

Quinton Jackson vs Rashad Evans – UFC 

Expected fight since what happened in UFC 96 (you can see in the image), but there was no fight, both become managers in TUF and Quinton Jackson made the movie A-Team, the fight take some time but will be in the 29th and the things promise a lot.

By the odds we can see that there is no favourite for this match, both are great fighters with lot of hate between them. There is the hate to promote the show, but there is also the hate when two fighters don’t like each other, and is this second hate we have in this match. The two don’t like each other and in TUF the things got hot when both said “lot of crap”, with Rashad saying that he will put Quinton Jackson KO and Quinton Jackson Read More

Guarani vs Sao Paulo – Brasileirão A 

Some say that the team started to play well, others say that the come of Fernandão was crucial, others say that was the return to the 3 – 5 – 2, but the truth is that the team of São Paulo that played the first part of the season with a very bad football is now a very strong team.

The team is again very strong in the defence with very strong and deadly counter attacks. Since Fernandão join the team, they got four victories and one lost when they played with the reserve team against Botafogo. They want to end the Brasileirão before the stop in the first four places, at the moment they are in 8th with 7 points. For this match, Ricardo Gomes can’t count with Cicinho and Richarlyson that are suspended, in their Read More

Orlando Magic @ Boston Celtics – NBA 

Sixth game of the Eastern Conference Final, where the Boston Celtics receive the Orlando Magic. After five games the Boston are leading by 3 – 2. This has been a series with a lot of surprises, after Boston won three straight games (two of them in Orlando), the Magic team recovered and won the next two. I hope a very disputed game, that is crucial for both teams.

The Boston Celtics have played worst in the last games and that is one of the reasons for the two defeats against Orlando. In the fourth game they were able to fight for the game with Orlando, but in the fifth game they were just crushed. The FG of the team wasn’t very good and also their game near the basket where they just got 26 rebounds, against 43 rebounds of Magic team. If in the offensive plan they were bad, they weren’t also very good in defence that was one of their strongest qualities in their game. The team conceded 113 points and lot of long shots, they weren’t able to stop Howard. In the last game the best scorer Read More

Boston Celtics @ Orlando Magic – NBA 

The Magics were able to delay a little lit more this eastern finals. They started as favorites, but were shutdown in their first 2 home games. In that point, some people still believing that the Magics could bounce back. But when the game 3 took place at Boston, the final hopes that people had for Magics were gone. The Magics are already a defeated team, they are without any will and confidence. But then, they were able to win the fourth game, delaying the decision. Knowing that it could be probably be their last game, the team were able to win in OT against a team that gave too much spaces, thinking that the series were over.

For the Magics, only Howard is a reliable player in this series. His edge is the only edge that the Magics are showing, but unfortunately for him, he can´t fight against Perkins and Read More

LA Lakers @ Phoenix Suns – NBA 

In the fourth game of the Western Conference Finals the Phoenix Suns will match up the LA Lakers. It is the second game which takes place in Phoenix, after one played on the previous Sunday. The Lakers are leading the series 3-1 over The Suns, having lost the preceding game. At first, my prospect was to watch some great basketball games and that is precisely what the viewers have been getting so far. To this next one, I expect nothing less than a heavily disputed game. However, I believe there will be a different winner on this Sunday’s match.

The Phoenix Suns lost the first two games and only won the third. Nevertheless, they played surprisingly strong defense during that ball game. I think this is not that bad considering The Suns haven’t put much of an emphasis on defense in the past. They manage to hold down their defense line, to establish an offensive rhythm and to slow down Lakers’ players. As a result, the team suffered fewer points. It was a Read More

The Celtics did a good regular season but not awesome and that’s one of the reason for the Magic favouritism. However, the Celtics have shown that they are the better team and they have a 3 – 0 Read More
