Steve's World...
Just a blog about things that interest me... I'll talk about whatever, whenever... I'll also use my blogs to post my ongoing offline dynasties... in due time.

Father's Day weekend went by too quick. Sunday was all about firing up the grill and cooking all sorts of meats. Other than that, fairly uneventful.

This Heat vs. Thunder finals has been entertaining, for sure. Game 4 on Tuesday is absolutely HUGE for OKC. You can hate on LeBron all you want, but he has been amazing. Battier is playing out of his mind. KD needs to watch those fouls and OKC as a team needs to ... Read More

It's Saturday! Time to play some pick up basketball! After that, I'll have to scratch off a few honey-do items.

Looking forward to see the family tomorrow for Father's Day, my mom's birthday and Game 3!

So, there I was... Watching the Thunder make a run, late in the fourth quarter and my DirecTV went out. None of my local channels worked. I tried ESPN 3 and it claimed it was blacked out in my area. So, I just relied on Twitter and the ESPN gamecast. Talk about frustrating...

Meh, series is tied at 1. In the 2-3-2 format, I think 2 or 3 teams have swept the middle 3 (I know the Pistons did it!), so it's doubtful ... Read More

Matt Cain with the perfecto! I mean, I really thought it was over in the 7th, but Blanco made a SICK catch. The final out of the ball game wasn't exactly an easy play either, hell of a throw from Arias. Actually stayed up until 2:30 AM watching interviews, etc.

Game 2 is tonight. I'm thinking Thunder 93 - Heat 89 with a huge bucket from Westbrook (not Durant) down the stretch to ice it.

My prediction was fairly close. Heat definitely had their chances, but KD was too much. Say what you want about Bron and D-Wade, but if you can't stop KD, it's game over.

Finally get to play some hoops later tonight. It has been a couple of weeks since I've had a good run. Really looking forward to it.

Congrats to the 8th seeded Los Angeles Kings eh? Was hoping for at least a close game. 3 quick goals on the power play and they never looked back.

Hopefully we'll see a close game tonight between the Heat and Thunder. I predict Thunder 96 - Heat 89 Durant gets 31, Bron with 35.

QOTD: Any bold predictions for tonights game?

E3 was fun and exhausting at the same time. It was the first time I had been there in roughly 8 years. Met up with quite a few people I've communicated with online, so it was cool to put a face with a name.

The Devils are 1 game away from tying up the series with the Kings. I'm pulling for that to happen. There is nothing like a Game 7 in hockey. I'll also be pulling for the Thunder, I think they beat the Heat ... Read More

Sorry, but I won't have time to post "Other Stuff" this week. I'm headed off to L.A. in a few minutes for E3. Once there, I've been invited to check out a bunch of EA Sports titles, behind closed doors. NBA Live 13 will be one of those games. I'll be sure to post info about it, as soon as the embargo lifts.

As for the other sports games, I'll be checking those out from Tuesday through Thursday. NBA 2K13 will ... Read More

Congrats to Johan Santana on his no-hitter last night. I had no idea the Mets had never thrown one.

Heat made it a little interesting in the 4th quarter last night, but it was too big of a deficit to overcome. Pulling for the Thunder to tie up the series tonight. Might have to flip back and forth between the Kings vs. Devils game.

Daughter has a piano recital today, so I'm not playing basketball. ... Read More

It's June already man... Think about that!

The Thunder rolled the Spurs last night (told ya'll it wasn't over!) Still a mountain to climb, but it is possible.

I stayed up late last night to watch the new video game trailers. I'd have to say Tomb Raider looks great, Metal Gear reminded me of Ninja Gaiden, that is disappointing. E3 is ... Read More

Rondo was lights out last night, in a losing effort. I think he was the only Celtic to score in OT. Since I play basketball on Wednesday's, I only watched the 4th quarter of the game and highlights of the Kings win, Kopitar's goal was a thing of beauty.

With so many people thinking the NBA Draft lottery system is fixed, why don't they broadcast the entire ping pong show or at least stream it somewhere.

Was hoping for an epic comeback by the Thunder last night, but they fell short. It will be hard to beat a Spurs team 4 out of the next 5 games, but I'll keep pulling for the underdog.

The announcement of the Sprite Slam Dunk Contest, 3 Point Contest, Rising Stars Challenge in NBA 2K13 is sparking a lot of my interest this morning.

Mom is starting to take her medicines much better, after seeing the Japanese speaking doctor. I hope she continues to get better. I know it's hard taking 9 to 10 pills a day.

Spurs and Heat are up 1-0 in their respective series. OKC really missed an opportunity to steal Game 1. Celtics looked old, and it's gotta be tough for Ray Allen and his bad wheel.

Nobody, NOBODY picked the Kings vs. Devils. ... Read More
