Worst to First

Well first of all I would like to say Happy Memorial Day. Today I am going to be talking about the Arizona Diamondbacks. They started the season out worst in there division but now they have surged to the top of the NL West. Ever since the San Fransisco Giants lost Buster Posey for the season, they have dropped a couple of games. The Diamondbacks might have to thank Scott Cousins for that. One of the main reasons for the Diamondbacks success is there pitching. They will even get better now that Zach Duke has returned. The DBACKS will try and go for the 7th straight win against the Florida Marlins. It will be a tough task to keep that lead in the NL West ahead of the defending World Series Champions, the Giants. So do you guys think the Arizona Diamondbacks can make the Playoffs, or even win the NL West? Thanks for reading Adam's Point of View.

ADAM'S MLB POWER RANKINGS: TOP 15

1. INDIANS (29-15) ; The Indians have had a outstanding year. They deserve #1.


2. GIANTS (27-19) ; The Giants are looking like they might go to the World Series one more time. They are on top of the NL WEST.


3. PHILLIES (28-18) ; The Phillies pitching rotation is proving that they are a force to be reckoned with.

4. CARDINALS (28-20) ; Everybody thought that the Cardinals would have a horrible season because Albert Pujols started the season out slow, but they have leaped to the #4 in the MLB.


5. YANKEES (25-20) ; The Yankees have been rolling, Curtis Granderson has put the team on his shoulders and kept them in the top 5 teams in the league.


6. MARLINS (26-19) ; The Marlins have swam to #6 in the MLB. They are playing great baseball.

7. RAYS (26-21) ; The Rays are stinging the baseball. They might have lost Carlos Pena and Carl Crawford but they look like they are just fine.


8. RED SOX (25-21) ; The Red Sox started out slow but they made a there way back to #8. They still have some work to do.


9. REDS (25-22) ; The Reds started the season great but now they are starting to cool down. Brandon Phillips and Joey Votto need to show up.


10. BRAVES (26-23) ; The Braves are decent but I would not even include them in these power rankings if was not for there record.


11. RANGERS (24-23) ; I think we all expected the Rangers to do better then this. They went to the World Series last year, but they are playing like they didn't make the playoffs at all last year.


12. BREWERS (24-23) ; Well Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder have not had great season like we all expected but they have kept the Brewers over 500.


13. D-BACKS (23-23) ; Nobody ever thought the Diamondbacks would even be mentioned in any power rankings. The D-Backs have been on a roll. They can be 2nd in there division if they win this upcoming series against the Rockies.


14. ROCKIES (23-22) ; You guys thought that the Rockies should be at least ahead of the Diamondbacks. I put the Rockies at #14 because they are playing average baseball. They started the season out #1 in the MLB if I am correct. Now they can fall to 3rd in the NL WEST if they lose there upcoming series against the Diamondbacks.

15. BLUE JAYS (23-23) ; Last on Adam's list is the Canada Kids, the Blue Jays are doing good enough to make my list. Jose Bautista has carried this team with his 18 homers which leads the league. The Blue Jays might even make the playoffs.

THUNDER!

Well with speculations of the world ending and a zombie apocalypse, I think you guys forgot something called the NBA Playoffs. Well that is why I am here to remind you of last night's game. The Oklahoma Thunder played the Dallas Mavericks. The final score was 106-100. Kevin Durant started to catch fire during the end of the game. But Russell Westbrook was benched for the whole 4th quarter. The move was shocking, the Thunder still were able to pull out the win and bring the series to 1-1. So who do you guys think will win the series?

Lebron takes 4th quarter over?

What? Yes you heard Lebron James took the game over and showed up in the 4th quarter. He started knocking down shots. The Heat went on a 11-2 run to win the game 85-75. So the question is can Lebron become a closer like Kobe Bryant. I think Lebron has a on and off switch when he is motivated he will turn that switch on. It is as simple as that, Lebron is motivated to win this series. He is going to start turning that switch on. So after hearing that do you think the Bulls can still win this series?

Who will the Phoenix Suns draft?

Well today I am going to tell you who I think the Phoenix Suns might draft. Well there is the possibility that Jimmer Fredette PG - BYU to the Suns, but will the Utah Jazz let that happen? The Jazz will want to take Jimmer because he is a local star, but if they do not draft him the Suns will draft him for sure. The reason why the Suns will draft him is because they traded PG Goran Dragic to the Houston Rockets for PG Aaron Brooks. Brooks did not finish the season out very good with the Suns and PG Steve Nash is getting older so he needs more help. The Suns will also want to draft SG/SF Joradn Hamilton he can bring size and he still can score. He will help out aging SF Grant Hill. Well now I am going to tell the pros and cons of the two prospects. Jimmer can shoot but thats all. Nash will have to teach him to be better at dribbling and passing. Jordan Hamilton will rack in a lot of points but he will not fit in. The Suns already have SG Jared "The Junkyard Dog" Dudley and SF Grant "over the" Hill. The Suns do not need another big man they have PF Hakim Warrick, C Marcin Gortat, C Robin Lopez, C Garret Siler, and PF Channing Frye. Hamilton might not be a PF or C but he will still slow down the offense. So who the Suns will draft, were just going to have to wait.

Crazy Fan!

Well I just wanted to show you guys a fan who ran on the field but got away. Here you go.

So Far So Good

So last week I told you that the Thunder and Heat would be the NBA Finals matchup. Well so far so good. The Lakers lost and Thunder are 1 game away from advancing to the Western Conference Finals. The Heat beat the Celtics and they will play the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals. So if the Thunder can win the series against the Grizzlies they will play the Mavericks. I might be wrong and this will be another Heat vs Mavericks finals matchup like in 2006. But I am still going take the Thunder to beat the Grizzlies and Mavericks to advance to the NBA Finals. The Heat won't give the Bulls a chance. I predict the series is going to be 4-2 Heat. Think about it, would the Bulls even be in the playoffs if they didn't have MVP Derrick Rose? No they would not. So that is why I am going to stick with the Heat vs Thunder in the NBA Finals. The Heat are just to good and they will beat the young Thunder to win the NBA Championship. If you disagree then comment below and tell me why. Click like if you agree. Thanks for reading another article of Adam's Point of View.

NBA Playoff Predictions

Who I think will be the NBA Champion.

                NBA FINALS

           THUNDER VS HEAT
      

The Heat will be NBA Champions.

This will be a good matchup. The Thunder will
be out to prove they are not just a expansion team.
The Heat will be out to prove that 3 stars can work
together to win a NBA Championship. I can see this
series going to a game 7. The Heat also known as
the Heatles will show there rock star mentality and beat the Thunder in a close game 7. I am not just saying that because they have Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh. I am saying that because the Heat are hungry for a NBA title. The definition for title town should now be called Miami.
