Miami Heat vs. Cleveland Cavaliers

I am so excited to report that I was able to see this game live and in person. I was so excited. A special thanks to my boyfriends boss who gave him the tickets. I had such a great time, seeing a game in person in such a long time.

The 1st quarter, the dynamic duo of wade and LBJ are on fire as Ilgauskas and James face their former team....the Cavaliers.

The 2nd quarter was great. Wade made a 3pt. shot, then he made a layup, and another 2 point shot straight. He was 3 for 3. It was great. Just when things couldn't get any better , Wade made an amazing great slam dunk. Lebron James was not far behind making great plays.

In the 3rd quarter, I honestly thought that the Cavaliers were going to tie the game, but the Heat kept their hustle and brought the game back.

4th quarter.

  • Miller @ 10 min. he made a great 3 pt. shot
  • Cavalier missed the shot
    • Wade scrambles for the ball 
    • gets it down court
      • passes it to Miller to House for the 3
Wade and Miller are on fire in this quarter, creating great plays

  • Miller and House making back to back shots
  • the last 2 min. in the quarter
    • it was clear it was Heat game
  • Wade scored 26 of his 34 pts. in the 1st half 
  • LeBron James finished with 24 pts. 
  • The Heat game ended with the Heat bringing a home win @Heat: 117 @Cavaliers: 90

Miami Heat vs. Atlanta Hawks

Today January 18th, the Heat played against the Atlanta Hawks. I haven't been really on top of the games lately. I've always had some errand or other so when i miss one game a few others just slip from my knowledge.

From my understanding, after having a great run this season winning almost every game back to back, the Heat's winning streak has come to a very dead halt. They've lost 3 of their last games.

Come on Heat, we're rooting for you.
They actually played in their Home town of Miami, Fl at the American Airlines Arena.
The first half wasn't really appealing. They weren't playing like their usual selves, with bosh out for the game with an ankle injury. If it's not Wade, it's Lebron, and if it's not Lebron its Bosh. The dynamic trio need to find a way to keep it together. The Heat were trailing behind the Hawks in the 1st half, and just when things were picking up, the Hawks found a way to retaliate.

The Heat continued to trail behind the Hawks with only 5:30 left in the 3rd quarter. MIA: 45 @ ATL: 46. The 3rd quarter ended with no big change. The effort was in, but not the Heart. MIA:55 @ ATL:58

Coming into the 4th quarter

  • Eddie House with a steal @ 10:10 into the game, while drawing the foul at the other end of the court
  • Struggle with the ball amongst both teams
  • Wade makes a tricky shot, while being blocked by 3 guys
7 minutes into the 4th quarter and Miami is tied with the Hawks. LBJ scores for the first time in the the 4th quarter.
2 min. left.

  • ATL, MIA are tied
Miami isn't really playing their best in this game. with 54.6 seconds left in this game, it'll take al the layers to pull together just to win it. The heat decide to take this game into Over time instead of trying to go for the win in the last remaining seconds of the game. Will this make or break them?
We soon found out. The Hawks weren't letting their guard downs for one second. With 35 seconds left and the Heat weren't able to redeem themselves in tonights game. What a disappointing loss for Miami. This brings their total to 4 straight lost games. Sadly, the game ends with Heat 89 @ ATL: 93. LBJ and Wade with a combined score of 51 points. LBJ with 34 points, 7 assists. Anthony with 16 rebounds.

" A loss today, is a win tomorrow. Keep your heads up Heat. You'll win it next time."
Next game Saturday January 22 against Toronto. Home game at 7:30 pm on the Sun Sports network.

Roller Blading Experience

Roller Blading Experience

Ever since I was little, I've always enjoyed roller blading. I started with the old fashioned ones. The ones with the two wheels in the front and the two wheels in the back. It was hard at first, but as they say, "Practice makes perfect."

Then, i got these toy barbie in-line skates and I had to wear slippers to use them. LOL! It was funny, but I was a kid, so I didn't care.

Later, I got the regular in-line skates. Man, they were great. I would go out roller blading almost every day. i would go around the block, to church, etc. The freedom and the sense of peace I would feel from roller blading, was great. I had to give them up, because they were old.

Now, I've been searching for more than two years and wither they've been too exspensive or they never have them in the stores. I really didn't want to order them online, in case they didn't fit me. But, me and my ♥ went out this past weekend in search of them. We went to Walmart in Kendall, no luck. We tried a target that was close by and BAM! I got lucky. I found my exact size and in the color i ♥, baby blue. My ♥ on the other hand, found ones two sizes too big. But we were so pumped to go roller blading together with a group of friends, he bought his and mine as is. How cute is that?

We went out this past Saturday, Jan. 8th, with 3 of our friends roller blading @ Bayfront park. OMG! All my stress and frustrations faded away. I can't wait to do it again.

Enjoy this video. I haven't lost my stride, considering I haven't roller bladed in a couple of years.
