Youth vs Experience. Rising Stars vs Hall of Famers. Celtics vs 76ers game can be easily observed by the fact that they are on the other side of a thread when it comes to the age of the players.

The Philadelphia 76ers look to bury the Boston Celtics in Game 3 of the NBA Eastern Conference semifinals Wednesday. 76ers easily captured the homecourt advantage when they overpowered Celtics in Game 2 that stunned most of the basketball spectators. It was surprising that the Celtics did falter in the fourth quarter to give the edge to the Sixers. The third quarter was the key for the Celtics as they never recovered by the 10 point advantage that the 76ers displayed. Moreover, the Celtics tried to bounce back in the fourth but the precious moments were absolutely went to the 76ers.

For the Celtics to get back the homecourt advantage, Rajon Rondo will have to bring back his triple double performance. He was limited to eight points, seven rebounds and 13 assists that eventually devastated the team because his shooting ability was not there. Rondo will have to take over the game by his penetration and by his passing. Also missing in in Game 2 was Paul Pierce who scored for only seven points. Pierce is the key player of the Celtics that he has to show more offense in order for the Celtics to beat the Sixers. Without Rondo and Pierce contributing in the 20′s each in scoring, the Celtics will never have a taste of a win in Philadelphia.

Kevin Garnett did his part in the previous game but it was not enough for his team. Thus, he has to extend his effort in creating his own shots and in blocking the shots of the opponents. Garnett might be losing the speed he used to have yet he can still make the best of his power by maintaining his poise especially in crunchtimes. It is highly expected of him to determine how far the Celtics are going in the playoffs. Garnett is the single player that can make the difference for Boston because he can dominate at both ends of the floor.

Brandon Bass can help Garnett in playing inside while Ray Allen can be explosive anytime he wants. Allen is the bright spot for the Celtics in the series so far. By coming off from the bench, the Celtics will always have the firepower offensively in the second quarter. Yet, Allen will have to be ready for the 76ers more disciplined defensive game.

As far as the Philadelphia 76ers, they have an opportunity to grab the lead in the series. Playing at home will be an advantage as they beat the Bulls here three times in the first round. Coach Doug Collins have to find ways to dismantle the offensive game of the celtics through his devise defensive plans. Collins has been in so many battles before that he knows exactly what to do in this situation.

The 21-year-old Jrue Holiday provided the scoring for the 76ers in Game 2 as he drilled in 18 points. He also has been consistently the thorn to reckon with for the defense of the opponents. His speed will always be a plus for Holiday as he will be match up against Rondo. Holiday has the penetration and the outside shooting threats that can impact the 76ers offense.

Another player is Andre Iguodala who can play offense and defense well in a given day. Iguodala played Pierce well enough that his scoring suffered also. But his production in Game 2 was explicitly of high value as he had 13 points, 6 rebounds, and 7 assists. Iguodala is the key player of the Sixers that he is needed to score more points in Game 3.

Lavoy Allen will also be a part of the success of the 76ers that he needs to contribute double-double for his team to win. Also in the spectrum will be Elton Brand who still couldn’t find his dominance in the game. If the Sixers have to capture this game, Brand must have to score. It’s up to the offensive plays of the 76ers to give touches to Brand.

Celtics vs 76ers start time is at 7:00 PM ET. Celtics vs 76ers tv channel is on TNT. Surely, the 76ers vs Celtics score is to be posted here. Will the 76ers take the lead in the series?

Dwight King scored the first goal for the Los Angeles Kings in the 13:15 mark in the first period against the Phoenix Coyotes, NHL Playoffs Western Conference Finals Game 2. It was a play setup by the Kings for King assisted by Drew Doughty and Trevor Lewis. King was surprised that goalie of Coyotes Mike Smith went through his guard.

The Kings already taken a lot of shots against the shallow defense of the Coyotes. Great that Smith already have 14 saves and giving up only a goal so far. The speed of the Kings is so much in the game that the Coyotes are struggling to contain the them. It is important for Coyotes to be defending with the determination to be on the lead. Chasing the Kings will not be difficult for the Coyotes if they will be using their full energy in this game.

Mikkel Boedker is needed to take some shots while Kyle Chipchura will have to quicken his spirit in scoring for the Coyotes. Boyd Gordon also should be able to elude his defender in order to contribute in scoring while his teammates will take care of setting him up. The offense of the Coyotes will have to be awaken in the second and third periods if they want to have a grip on the Western Conference Finals.

Kings are looking to have a 2-0 advantage in the best-of-seven series as they were able to beat the Coyotes in Game One. Absolutely, the Kings have a lot of firepower at their disposal in taking care of the Coyotes. In Game One alone, the Kings overpowered Coyotes in a significant way by four goals against two of the Coyotes. King scored two goals in that game and he is again back in making trouble for the Coyotes.

Furthermore, Brown drilled in another goal while Anze Kopitar added one in Game One. It hard for the Coyotes to match the offensive game of the Kings that Phoenix has to be more aggressive in this Game Two. If the trio of King, Brown, and Kopitar will score again in this game, then it will be hard for the Coyotes to answer.

San Antonio Spurs may not be worried about playing the Grizzlies who made the upset last year in the playoffs. A larger perspective on the game, however, might be needed by the Spurs as they face a high profile LA Clippers with NBA stars in the rosters. Clippers vs Spurs Game One will be a collision of a veteran core team against a rising team in the West.

Spurs can be considered the team of the past as they won four title in a dozen year but it looks like that they are ready to add another championship ring this season. With the the dwindling center-forward Tim Duncan, the Spurs were able to find the right combination in order to get the top seen in the Western Conference. Thus, coach Gregg Popovich has perfectly managed his players that in some of the games he rested his players especially of that on Duncan. Popovich basketball mind again has been filling up the missing pieces for the Spurs. He was able to mix his veteran and new players to play in unison and with full trust of each other.

By getting the top seed, the Spurs again are in a high gear to have the opportunity to advance to the Western Conference Finals. The troika of Duncan, Manu Ginobili, and Tony Parker will be in display for the Spurs to have a balance offense. With the offensive game of Duncan inside and the penetration of Ginobili, the Spurs are hard to beat. Aside from the three, Boris Diaw and Danny Green will be factors in this game as they will be playing with energy to be extensively effective against the Clippers. Adding to the offense of the Spurs will be Gary Neal and Tiago Splitter. Also the veteran Stephen Jackson can accommodate time to explode at any given moment in the court.

There’s so much in the San Antonio Spurs this season. This team is not about Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili but it’s about players who find themselves important in the system of Popovich. They know their respective roles and they understand how to be in the system that can magnificently win another championship. Also, the defense of the Spurs cannot be neglected at all because it is the spirit of the team. Spurs defense will always be known as the key ingredient of their success. In this Clippers vs Spurs game, the defensive schemes of San Antonio will be noticed by the experts and fans alike.

One of the advantages of the Spurs in Game One will be the fresh legs. Just like what the Oklahoma City Thunder did to the weary Lakers, the Spurs are expected to speed up the game to the tired legs of the Clippers who just played their Game 7 Sunday against the Grizzlies. This is a big factor to be put in this game. The Spurs will grab that advantage and maybe the Clippers will feel the impact of the previous game in the second quarter. Spurs will be tormenting the Clippers with high energy from both ends of the floor.

With all the Spurs have in Game One, the Clippers will not let the ghost to evaporate easily. Still they have the best pointguard left in the playoffs Chris Paul to carry them in a possible upset. Los Angeles Clippers will rely on their star player to anchor the game and to decide the offensive plays to derail the Spurs defense. Paul is the primary reason that the Clippers are in the Western Conference semifinals and he will have a night to remember facing the defense of Parkers. What a wonderful day to see Paul being matched with Parker who has all the talent to guard the star.

The rising star Blake Griffin will be needed in Game One to make the case that they are a contender. However, he might still be feeling hurt by his sprained left knee. Griffin’s role in the Clippers will be paramount to the fact that Paul needs him to take care some of his passes. Griffin must be able to have a double-double in this game to alleviate the advantage of the Spurs inside. He must have the aggressiveness to grab rebounds and to drive into the basket against the vaunted defense of the Spurs.

Another player to be seen is Kenyon Martin who will be up against Spurs Duncan. Well, Martin have fought many games against Duncan and it will be a test for him to let his leaping ability be the advantage. Furthermore for the Clippers, Caron Butler’s offensive game must be existent so that he will be able to spread the defense of the Spurs. Butler will be focusing on how to contain Ginobili but his offensive presence is needed also.

Indiana Pacers can seize the opportunity that Miami Heat will not be playing Game Two and the rest of the series. Pacers may have to deal only to the two stars of the Heat and not to be worried about the inside game of Chris Bosh who is out indefinitely because of a strained lower abdominal muscle. The absence of Bosh will pave the way for the Pacers to alter their strategy offensively as well as defensively.

Pacers couldn’t keep in the second half as the Heat eventually took over. Fourth quarter was the key for the Pacers as the game was tied but the Heat pursued the Pacers defensively that they couldn’t match up the firepower of of the Miami Heat. David West had 17 points and 12 rebounds for the Pacers but it was not enough to directly affect the outcome of the game in the fourth. Also making himself strong for Indiana is Center Roy Hibbert who scored 17 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. Clearly, the strength of the Pacers can be attributed to the inside game with these two players. Thus, without Bosh will provide them rooms to operate in the offense and to double team defensively.

What was missing for the Pacers in Game One was the performance of Danny Granger who contributed only for seven points and four rebounds. Granger was absolutely out of his game that the Pacers suffered as he took only 10 shots. As the leading scorer of Indiana, Granger must be taking more than 15 shots. Of course he has a job also do defend the star of the Heat that his offensive game was affected tremendously. What Granger will do in Game 2 will be to be aggressively involve in the offense so that his team will have a chance to tie the series.

There will be sort of adjustments for the Pacers in defending the Heat. But it will be to their advantage that they only have to take care of two heads instead of three. Pacers will have to be willing to defend in the entire 48 minutes or they will be going home with a 0-2 record. Indiana must control the tempo especially in the second half to avoid a repeat of what happened in Game One.

Pacers vs Heat will be more contentious in this game as the Heat’s weapons will be limited to the MVP Lebron James and Dwayne Wade. Still James will be scoring in the 20′s or 30′s that the Heat will be ultimately focus on how to dismantle the offense of the Pacers. James had 32 points, 15 rebounds, and five assists in the first game that the Pacers couldn’t answer especially when it boiled down to the final quarter. Furthermore, the defensive game of James totally denied Granger to be in the double figures.

Wade also will be the arsenal for the Heat to break the defensive gameplan of the Pacers. Wade has been playing great in the playoffs that he will be again determined to beat the Pacers. Wade understands his role in the team and he knows that he can score anytime he wants. Wade’s driving ability will be needed in this game especially that the power forward position is not that formidable. It will be tougher for Wade to take the ball into the basket because the Pacers will be putting another man on the lane to block his shots.

Heat is known for their defensive schemes in winning games in the past. Coach Erik Spoelstra is a defensive oriented coach that even though without Bosh they will thrive. The Heat will be using another defensive plan to contain the Pacers in one stretch to ultimately distance themselves. Without Bosh, Heat will be using Ronny Turiaf or Joel Anthony in the power forward position. Turiaf has the experience in the playoffs when he played with the Lakers and his effort will be needed to take the shoes of Bosh.

The Miami Heat this year has a better roster than what they have last season. It will be enough for Spoelstra to compete against the Pacers while he expect Bosh to be in the line up the next series in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Lakers vs Thunder Game One. Crowd drawer for the reason that the Lakers and Thunder have been consistent in the playoffs in the last three years. Of course the Lakers will always captivate the eyes of the fans everytime they played but this will be different series as the rising Thunder will show forth their force that even the Lakers couldn’t contain.

Thunder dominated the Western Conference early from the start until such time that the Spurs made the run to take over as the top seed of the West. Thunder have been the team on the spotlight because of Kevin Durant and the way the team handled pressure in the regular season. Dispatching the Mavs by sweeping surprised billions of NBA fans around the world.

Let’s take at Five reasons why the Thunder will win Game 1.

1. Kevin Durant – The high flying shooting forward will always be reliable in the 48 minutes of play. Winning another scoring title for Durant shows that he has the arsenal to be great in the NBA. Durant possesses the skills of a player that is hard to defend. His outside shooting and his leaping ability will impact the way other teams will defend him. Probably the Lakers will put Metta World Piece on Durant or at times Kobe Bryant will take on him. There will be no answer for Durant as he is expected to score in the 20′s or 30′s.

2. Russel Westbrook – He is the player who can be the most dangerous of all for the Lakers will have no answer on him. Probably the reason why Ramon Sessions was brought to the Lakers just to much the pointguards in the Western Conference like Westbrook, Steve Nash, and even Tony Parker. At least Sessions is bigger and faster to give Westbrook a shot. Coach Mike Brown knows how to deal with this matter and he might probably be putting Bryant, Matt Barnes, or even Metta World Peach on him.

3. James Harden – The Sixth Man of the Year’s impact in the production of points for the Thunder will absolutely be a problem for the Lakers to defend. Just the way Metta World Peace knocked off Harden, the Thunder will use every offensive scheme just to turn down the capability of the Lakers. Giving Harden some plays will not be damaging to the Thunder. Harden will be the key player for the Thunder if they are going to win this game.

4. Derek Fisher – From Lakers to Thunder. Destined to be in the Finals? Derek Fisher made the right decision to be with the Thunder instead of playing for the Houston Rockets. What Fisher will bring to the Thunder cannot be bought by money. Fisher’s experience in the playoffs will be helping the cause for players like Durant and Westbrook. Surely, he can still take those 3-pointers as the Lakers will have to be attentive on that.

5. Fresh Legs – With a week of rest, the Thunder will have the legs to carry on and to speed up the game. What the Thunder learned from the Nuggets can be applied in this game. To have a transition offense that will allow the Lakers to catch.

The unprecedented collision of the Rangers vs Devils in the Eastern Conference Finals in the NHL Playoffs will draw the attention of millions. Yes, the Rangers struggled in their previous series but still they prevailed in Game 7 against the Capitals. Rangers showed that they can play tough when everything is not going well through their desire to be in the Stanley Cup Finals.

Not to forget also about the Devils having the high confidence to topple the Rangers in Game One of East Finals. Devils vs Rangers is one of the biggest rivalries in the NHL that the atmosphere of anticipation rises every minute. Without a doubt, when the Rangers won Game 7 against the Caps, the Devils were happy to face them to find out who is the best in the conference. New Jersey Devils entered into this series by knocking down the Flyers in a 4-1 record. The significant advantage of the Devils will have to do about having fresh legs as they rested almost a week. Thus, the Devils also will have to shake themselves to avoid rustiness in playing.

The Rangers will have to rely again of the strength of Henrik Lundqvist to deny the shots of the Devils. Apparently, he was the hero of their last game as he had 22 saves with only a goal to give. Lundqvist must be able to stop the puck to get in into the goal with such tremendous speed and agility. If he will be playing to his maximum potential, then the Rangers will have the opportunity to make Game One their own.

The offensive games of Marc Staal and Dan Girardi must be effective so that they will thrive in the midst of the defense of the Devils. Just like what happened Saturday, Michael Del Zotto and Brad Richards need to score for the Rangers to have the night that they wanted. Aggressiveness was the key for the Rangers in beating the Capitals in that contentious game that it is mandatory for them to elude the defense being throwned by the New Jersey Devils.

Devils will be sticking their defense to the vetaran goali Martin Brodeur whose masterful works in denying and blocking shots are to be remembered and noticed. Brodeur showed that he still is one of the best goalies in the NHL that it is the moment for him to seize the opportunity to be back in the Stanley Cup Finals. Despite his age, Brodeur is playing just the way he is moving fiver or ten years ago.

Ilya Kovalchuk will be one of the key players for the offensive attacks of the Devils. He has been consistent in the past two series and his presence will be needed in order for the Devils to destruct the defense of the Rangers. Kovalchuk is a mark man for the Rangers defense and he has to extricate whatever defensive scheme that is being applied to him.

David Clarkson also must take some shots to lift up his team playing on the road. Clarkson played great in closing out the flyers by hitting one goal in two shots. Thus, Clarkson will have to be playing with the motivation of breaking through the mouth of the defense of the Rangers.

Travis Zajac and Mark Fayne must be willing to sacrifice their bodies against the Rangers to give up some space for the offense to operate. Furthermore, if they can maneuver and score against the defense of the Rangers, then they will have the edge in this competition despite not playing at home.

Devils vs NY Rangers start time is at 8:00 PM ET. Devils vs Rangers tv channel Schedule is on NBC Sports. Devils vs Rangers score will be available here.

The Los Angeles Lakers are confident that the extension of their series against the Nuggets that went to the seventh game will help them to know themselves and to adjust to their weaknesses. Lakers found out that they can keep up with younger players and they can use the experience in facing the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game One of the Western Conference Semifinals.

With the new hurdle ahead to be in the West Finals, the Lakers will ultimately be in satisfaction but in less than 48 hours they will have to play against a much rested and higher ranked team. Oklahoma City Thunder will make the case that this is the time for them to be in the NBA Finals. With Kevin Durant rising as the premier star in the NBA, it is a commonplace thinking that his team will find its way to the championship. Russel Westbrook also be included in the 1-2 punch of the Thunder while this team will try it again to advance after sweeping Dallas Mavericks.

With the younger lineup of the Thunder, still there are so many reasons why the Lakers will be winning Game One. It will be tough to show forth why the Lakers will emerge victorious in Game 1. Here are the Five Things that will be noticed as the reasons for the Lakers to capture Game 1

1. Momentum – Who has the momentum? Los Angeles Lakers will be playing with confidence as their key players came through magnificent performances. Yes, Steve Blake will be the shooter to watch for the Lakers as he was the component in spreading the defense of the Nuggets. The Lakers have the momentum because of the moral booster victory Saturday. Lakers may have found the chemistry to play with strong determination against the Thunder.

2. Rustiness of Thunder – Thunder ended the series against the the Mavs early that they might experience rustiness. Yes, it can cause them this game as they will be lacking the energy to dominate the Lakers. Kendrick Perkins may not be ready to bang bodies with Andrew Bynum. Derick Fisher will be also playing up against against his former team. He will probably be guarding Ramon Sessions of Steve Blake every time he is on the floor. What an awesome matchup and what a day for Fisher to show to the Lakers management his worth.

3. The Rise of Pau Gasol – The production of Pau Gasol in Game 7 will be forever remembered as he was awaken from sleeping in the previous games. Gasol’s 23 points and 17 rebounds provided the force in the paint to disrupt the rebounding prowess of the Nuggets. There was a play that Gasol rebounded five times consecutively. What a display of his greatness when Gasol plays with focus and will to win.

4. The Freshness of Metta World Peace – Metta World Peace suspensions of seven games might help the Lakers in terms of having fresh legs. World Peace will be guarding Durant in most of the duration of the game. It might be his advantage for the Lakers that World Peace will have the passion to play with persistence. World Peace will be played against James Harden and he will surely remember that the reason of him being suspended.

5. Kobe Bryant in Crunch Time - When the game will come down to the last two minutes, Kobe Bryant will exactly be doing his part as the closer. He will draw attention that the defense of the Thunder will double team him allowing to pass it to the Blake and Sessions to take the shots. Furthermore, Kobe still has the killer instinct when it comes to winning because he wants to get his sixth title.

Coach Mike Brown understands that his team has the talents to go deeper into the playoffs that he has to make sure that his gameplan will be followed. Coach Scott Brooks also has to keep his plays more on Durant and Westbrook so that the Lakers will be wearisome in defending. This is the time for the Thunder to be in the Finals but the Lakers are waiting to eliminate them.

Lakers vs Thunder start time is at 9:30 PM ET. Lakers vs Thunder TV channel is on TNT. Can the Lakers take the home court advantage in Game 1?

Los Angeles Kings vs Phoenix Coyotes will settle it down for the right to the Stanley Cup Finals as they start their Best-Of-Seven series in the Western Conference Finals.

The Coyotes showed that they are one of the best teams in the NHL by dispatching Nashville Predators, 4-1, in a series that completely dominated by them. Coyotes have all the weapons of a great team starting from their goalie Mike Smith as he 8-3 record, 1.77 goals-against average and .948 save percentage. He extremely is capable of shutting down the opponents offense and that he also is strong enough to bang bodies against his opponents who tries to hit him near the goal. Smith will be the key for Coyotes in the defensive end yet he has to be strong in time of pressures coming from the offense of the Kings.

Expect also the offensive game coming from Martin Hanzal, Derek Morris, and Kyle Chipchura to be effectively be trying to speed up Game 1 so that they will have the advantage. Mikkel Boedker’s role in the offense shall be appreciated as he is needed to produce goals. The designed plays of the Phoenix Coyotes must be executed to the fullest for the team to win the crucial Game 1. Phoenix Coyotes have surprised many teams because of their resourcefulness and the high performances of Smith.

On the other hand, the LA Kings unexpectedly are in the Western conference Finals having to same reason of success like the Coyotes. Goalie Jonathan Quick can be attributed for the Kings entrance to the West Finals so far as he excelled in the playoffs so far with the record and average of 8-1, 1.55 and .949. He has a better numbers than Smith and that he has a lot of things to prove in Game one of Coyotes vs Kings.

It is surprising for the Kings because this time it is not only all about basketball in LA but also the hockey team that for decades never have gone to any success until now. It’s been a week since the Los Angeles Kings played when they beat St Louis in the series with 4-0 record. Thus showing so much strength and defensive advancement were the keys for the Kings.

Kings defeated two top seeds already and that they will add the Coyotes as their prey to be in the Stanley Cup Finals. Dustin Brown’s offensive attacks will be much needed by the Kings to claim Game One. He played extremely great in Game One so that the Kings will take this game. Furthermore, Jordan Nolan is expected to make ways for the Kings to deliver the dagger for the Kings.

One of the secrets of the Kings will have the edge if they can control the tempo of the game and if they can start it with so much strong sustenance of the lead. Kings vs Coyotes Game 1 start time is at 8:00 PM ET. Kings vs Coyotes tv channel coverage is on NBC Sports. Also, Kings vs Coyotes results and score will be available here.

Who will win Game One? Kings vs Coyotes game will surely be anticipated by the hockey world and that these two teams are prepared for the momentous collision. Thus, Game One of the NHL Playoffs can be the crucial game.

Memphis Grizzlies played Game 7 before, but this is a lot different and advantageous for them as they play at home. Clippers may regret the fact that they failed to closeout in LA in Game 6. The Clippers vs Grizzlies NBA Playoffs series is a collision of will for all the players involved. The fact of the matter will always be that the Grizzlies have to play at home while the Clippers will be fighting with the noisy crowd against them.

Grizzlies managed to bounce back in Game 6 through the magnificent performances of Mark Gasol who had 23 points and nine rebounds, and Zach Randolph with 18 points and 16 rebounds. These two players controlled the game because of their power inside while the Clippers were surprised that their chance of getting into the next round had evaporated for a while. Gasol and Randolph will be a great combination in matching the firepower of the Clippers.

The hostility of the crowd against the Clippers will be felt and it will be a lift for the Grizzlies to have that edge they never have had against the Thunder in Game 7 last year. Thus, Memphis will be aggressively using the energy of the crowd to motivate them to win Game 7. Absolutely, it will not take two players to take down the potent lineup of the Clippers. Pointguard Mike Conley will have to play his A game to stop the star of the Clippers in determining the outcome of the game. Conley’s role in this game will be tied to the success of his team. With all his strength and ability to guard Chris Paul, Conley will be needed to deny the scoring and the passing lane for the Clippers offense.

Adding into the picture will be Rudy Gay who can contribute in scoring to spread up the defense of the Clippers. His outside shooting and penetration will have to be working so that the Grizzlies will have the opportunity to master the offense and to distance themselves against the Clippers. Gay will be crucial in this game as he has to play defense also. Grizzlies will have to play tough defense in the entire 48 minutes to advance to the next round against the San Antonio Spurs whom they beat last season in the first round.

For the Clippers, Game 7 will be about the importance of Chris Paul who still couldn’t believe that his team is back to Memphis when they had that opportunity in LA Friday night. Paul is the heart of this team and he has to assert himself in this game by scoring and assisting. He will have to anchor the Clippers with care by involving his teammates in the plays. Paul had 11 points, seven assists, and five rebounds as he failed to provide productions for his team especially in the last five minutes of Game 6.

The rising star Blake Griffin also will have to make his way to the game and he has to be aggressively involve in creating baskets for himself especially when Paul couldn’t give the ball to him. He must be willing to sacrifice his body to play against the likes of Randolph and Gasol. With Griffin scoring at any angle, the Clippers will be in the next round.

However, Caron Butler will have to elevate his game also and his confidence to take shots must be present in today’s game 7. His outside shooting is needed while his teammates will concentrate in breaking down the defense of the Grizzlies. Yes, Butler will be needed to take high percentage shots and he must connect for the Clippers. Will the Clippers submit to the Grizzlies ability to alter strategy during the game?

Final Score Update

Clippers 82
Grizzlies 72

At half time Manchester United was on top 1-0 while Manchester City was on the same course, but everything changed in the second half for the Blues as the hungrier team QPR scored twice without any answer until in the 90′ minutes when Edin Dzeko scored in a close range to tie the score then another one from Sergio Agüero as Manchester City defeated QPR 3-2 and captured the EPL title at the same time.

In a wink of an eye, Manchester United were almost celebrating as Manchester United overpowered Sunderland 1-0 while Man City chased QPR.

Manchester United for a minute or two thought they won the EPL title untile unbelievable happens. This is the greatest turning of events in the history of the English Premier League as Sir Alex Fergusson and the entire Red Devils team were stunned by what happened in the other game which they relied on the QPR to win. Yes, QPR were winning until the last minute when the the unimaginable happens.

Read my previous story:

Manchester United vs Sunderland

Blame it on Sir Alex Fergusson? Probably it’s too early for a blame game as the Manchester United has still a chance to slim to capture the English Premier League title. Manchester United Red Devils face a situation that can scar their heart for a long time as they are about to lose everything. Manchester United vs Sunderland will absolutely be one of the two games everybody wants to see today in the English Premier League.

Man Utd had the grip of the title three weeks ago when they were way ahead to their nearest competitor the Manchester City. But the Red Devils failed to deliver some of the games that caused them the downward path. Furthermore, the Manchester Derby had a lot to do about it because Man United was not able to answer the attacks of the Manchester City.

Manchester United vs Sunderland will not be all about the Red Devils winning. Of course Manchester United must have to win the game and at the same time pray that Man City will lose or draw it against QPR. Manchester United also can draw it but Man City will have to lose the game. It is not complicated at all when it comes to finding out the champion. As long as Manchester United results will be matched by Manchester City, then the Blues will win the title.

In getting back into the Man Utd vs Sunderland, the Red Devils are capable of beating their opponents through the presence of striker Wayne Rooney who proved to be one of the elite players in the world. He still can take the ball into the goal at any given time provided that their are designed plays for him. Rooney will be the key player for the Manchester Utd to take control over Sunderland. The only problem for the Manchester United will be looking at the score of the other game, thus, the focus will be subsequently be disastrous to the team.

Javier Hernandez will also be needed to produce offensive attacks so that Manchester United will be better off in disabling the defensive positions of Sunderland. It is clear that Hernandez will play alongside Rooney in determining their feat in the English Premier League. Hernandez must have the determination to play with such intention to win and not to be subdued by the fact that Man City can match what the results of their game.

Fergusson knows also that has players who are not playing like Chris Smalling with problem in the groin. Furthermore, Jonny Evans will be doubtful for he never bothered to play over Swansea. Fergusson’s mind will be concentrating on how he will speed up his defense against Sunderland. He will be knowledgable enough to speak the right words for his players to be motivated to play and win the game no matter what’s the outcome of Man City vs QPR game. What bothers him is about how he will accept the results that they failed to win the title because Man City won it?

Sunderland vs Man Utd is taking this game into consideration as the biggest game of all but their destiny is out of their hands. They have to rely for Queens Park Rangers to do something to deny Manchester City the win. It will be crucial for Manchester United to find out the final score of the other game which also be played at the same time. You may ask what is the Manchester United vs Sunderland kick off time? Well, Man United vs Sunderland start time is at 10:00 PM ET.

It will be heart-breaking for the Red Devils that they won only to find out that Manchester City won also. What a terrible feeling for the players who almost were celebrating for the eight points buffer three weeks ago. Manchester United will end the season without winning the title will be ultimately vanity in the wind after leading that too many points on the table.

Sunderland may not be fighting like the QPR but still they will have to try to do their best to deny the Red Devils the win. Sunderland was defeated by Fulham last week showing that they don’t have enough manpower to topple Man Utd. Sunderland will play as a spoiler but it will be clearly accepted that Man Utd will win this game. Yet a win for Manchester United will not suffice the title if Man City will match it with a victory also.

Man Utd vs Sunderland start time is at 10:00 AM ET / 22:00 BT. Sunderland vs Manchester United tv channel is on Sky Sports and ESPN. Will the Manchester United end up victorious with the title in their hands? Or will it be a futile victory because Manchester City wins against QPR?
