2012 National Championship:Kentucky vs Kansas

The Kentucky WildCats will play the Kansas JayHawks for the Mens College Basketball Nation Championship. The Wild Cats have proved they belong to play for the National Championship. Kentucky coming off of a huge win against there rival Louisville that earned them a spot to play in the National Championship game. Kansas barely beat Ohio State after a late 4th quarter surge to take down the Buckeyes. The stage is set for the 2 top teams in the nation. I predict that Anthony Davis will put Kentucky on his back and lead them to a National Championship. Thomas Robinson will try and keep Kansas in the game but Kentucky will pull away late and win. Davis will score 22 points he will grab 8 rebounds. Robinson will score 14 points and grab 5 rebounds. The Finals score will be 88-76 WildCats.

NFC CHAMPIONSHIP PREDCITIONS

The San Fransisco 49ers will play the New York Giants for the NFC Championship. The 49ers are coming off a close win against the New Orleans Saints. The Giants hope to keep there momentum up after shocking the world by beating the Green Bay Packers. I predict Eli Manning will throw more than 350 yards, he will throw 2 touchdowns passes. I predict Alex Smith will throw more than 400 yards, he will throw 3 touchdown passes. My final prediction is the 49ers will beat the Giants 31-17. Alex Smith and Vernon Davis will connect all day long. Eli Manning will try and pull off another 4th quarter comeback but will fall short. The 49ers will play the Patriots in the Super Bowl.

AFC CHAMPIONSHIP PREDICTIONS

The New England Patriots will play the Baltimore Ravens after blowing out Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos. The Ravens are going into this game after beating the Houston Texans with there well known defense. I predict that Tom Brady will throw over 400 passing yards and 4 touchdowns passes. Joe Flacco will throw under 350 passing yards and he will throw 3 touchdown passes. This game will be close but I have the Patriots edging the Ravens 34-31. The Ravens defense will keep them in this game but they won't be able to stop Tom Brady and his Tight Ends. The Patriots will be in the Super Bowl once again.

D-BACKS VS BREWERS

The Arizona Diamondbacks will play the Milwaukee Brewers tomorrow morning for the first game of the NLDS. The pitching matchup will be Ian Kennedy for the Diamondbacks and Yovani Gallardo for the Brewers. The game will be played in Milwaukee. This is a good matchup. These two teams are very similar. The Diamondbacks won the season series against the Brewers 3-4. Many people are saying the Diamondbacks are the underdogs, but are we really. The Diamondbacks only have to win one game on the road. The Brewers would have to come to Arizona and steal a game because the Brewers are terrible on the road. So if the Diamondbacks win tomorrow, I predict they will win in 5 games. Only if they win tomorrow. If are starters can go deep into the game then the diamondbacks can just bring in David Hernandez to set up the close for JJ Putz. The Diamondbacks would also need some run support by Justin Upton, Chris Young, and Miguel Montero. So if you ask me, the Diamondbacks in 5.

UPTON, NL MVP?

Can the hot bat of Justin Upton right fielder for the Arizona Diamondbacks win him a NL MVP? He has been tearing it up, but the only people in the way of that MVP award are Matt Kemp center fielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Ryan Braun left fielder for the Millwauke Brewers. This is what Justin Upton has done for the Diamondbacks this season AVG. 300. He has HR 25, RBI 77, Runs 80, SB 19. So why not name him MVP you ask, well Upton needs to keep this up for 1 more month if he wants to win his 1st MVP award. So check in a month from now and see if wins the award.

Diamondbacks to AL WEST?

There has been speculation that the Arizona Diamondbacks could move to the AL WEST. If they did move to the American League West, would this be a good or bad thing for the Diamondbacks? Today i'm going to tell you if it is or not. In the AL coaches really don't have to really coach they just wait for a player to hit a home run, while in the NL you have to choose to let your pitcher hit or bunt, and choose to steal. I'm just trying to get at that in the NL you need a strategy unlike the AL. This season the Diamondbacks finally found a strategy that works, so if they move that might mess up there winning record. In the AL the Diamondbacks would have to face teams like the Yankees or RedSox. This is how the AL WEST would look if the DBACKS moved.

AL WEST
___________________

Arizona Diamondbacks

Texas Rangers

Los Angeles Angels

Oakland Athletics

Seattle Mariners
___________________

The only team that might be a task to beat would be the Rangers. I could predict the Diamondbacks winning this division. But on the other hand the Diamondbacks could win the NL WEST to. So would it be a good thing for the Diamondbacks move to the AL WEST?

2011 MLB MOCK DRAFT, TOP 15

Well you guys probably thought I would be talking about the NBA Finals, but you are just going to have to wait. The MLB Draft is in 5 days so I wanted to give you the top 15 teams and prospects. Who will draft who? Here you go.

1. Pittsburgh Pirates - Gerrit Cole, RHP, UCLA; Cole is arguably the best player in the draft. I think the Pirates will draft him.

2. Seattle Mariners - Anthony Rendon, 3B, Rice; The Mariners would love to draft Rendon, he will be the best player available. He will also rack in some runs when you need him to, he can also be a golden glove player.

3. Arizona Diamondbacks - Danny Hultzen, LHP, Virgina; The Diamondbacks tried to draft him 3 years ago but he decided to stay Virgina, but if the DBACKS draft him this year they will get a guy who can boost up there pitching rotation.

4. Baltimore Orioles - Sonny Gray, RHP, Vanderbilt; Some people might have the Orioles drafting Trevor Bauer but I think Gray is more prepared for the MLB.

5. Kansas City Royals - Alex Meyer, RHP, Kentucky; Meyer has little bit of control problems but the Royals lost Zack Greinke and they need somebody to replace him so I think they will take a risk and go after him.

6. Washington Nationals - Trevor Bauer, RHP, UCLA; Bauer will fit perfectly along side Stephen Strausburgh

7. Arizona Diamondbacks (Loux - unsigned) - Dylan Bundy, RHP, Owasso (Okla.) HS; He might be coming out of High School but he doesn't throw like a kid when he hits 98 mph on the gun. If the Diamondbacks draft Hultzen and Bundy they will have two pitching aces that will both have great careers.

8. Cleveland Indians - Bubba Starling, OF, Gardner - Edgarton (Kan.) HS; Bubba Starling is another High School player but he can help Grady Sizemore out in the out field.

9. Chicago Cubs - Matt Barnes, RHP, UConn; No he is not the basketball player, he is the college pitcher who throw a mean fastball, curveball, and slider. If the Cubs want a pitcher this is there guy.

10. San Diego Padres (Whitson - unsigned) - Fransisco Lindor, SS, Montverede (Fla.) Academy; He is the best infielder in the draft, he is 17 and the Padres want a guy for cheap, Lindor is what they want.

11. Houston Astros - Cory Spangenberg, SS, Indian River State College (Fla.); The Astros would want the best infielder in the draft but the second isn't so bad either.

12. Milwaukee Brewers - George Springer , OF, Connecticut; Springer can leran from Ryan Braun and help him out in the long run.

13. New York Mets - Taylor Jungman, RHP, Texas; The Mets could use a pitcher. Jungman can bring a mid-90's fastball to the table. He might be 6'6" but he has good control. The Mets could use him.

14. Florida Marlins - Archie Bradley, RHP, Broken Arrow (Okla.) HS; Archie can learn from Josh Johnson. Archie did get scholarship to play football at Oklahoma,  but that will not stop the Marlins from  pursuing him.

15. Milwaukee Brewers (Covey - unsigned) - Joe Ross, RHP, Bishop O'Dowd (Calif.) HS; WOW! You are probably saying another High School player but, Yes. Joe Ross is another High School player but he is just one of the guys who is overrated, that is why I put him at 15 instead of the top 10.

Thanks for reading, those were my predictions.

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?

             AG

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?


              AG

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.

Patrick Peterson drafted by Arizona Cardinals

Well the Arizona Cardinals used the 5th pick in the draft on CB Patrick Peterson / LSU. You would have thought the Cardinals would have traded there pick or drafted QB Blaine Gabbert / Mizzou, but no, the Cardinals drafted one of the best players in the draft. I am happy with there pick, now CB Dominque Rodgers-Cromartie and KR Larod Stephens-Howling can get some help.
Well because I cant explain how athletic and skilled he is I am just going to have to show you. Watch the video below of this beast. Enjoy.

1# Pick in the 2011 NFL Draft

On April 28, 2011 at about 8 p.m.  ET, the commissioner, Roger Goodell will say " With the 1st pick in the 2011 NFL draft, the Carolina Panthers select"? Well today I am going to talk to you guys about the 1# pick in the draft. Many people think that the Panthers are going to go with a safe pick with QB Blaine Gabbert out of Missouri. I think they will select QB Cam Newton out of Auburn. Cam Newton was the Heisman winner, he works great in the pocket, and he has great accuracy. The Panthers are not looking for a safe pick, they are looking for a franchise player and Cam can be that guy. Thanks for reading, and you just experienced Adam's Point of View.
