Miami Heat Ties Series 2-2 Against The Indiana Pacers

The Miami Heat bounced back to even the series 2-2 against the Indiana Pacers. This game started as the previous games. Dwayne Wade in the first half had another terrible half, while Lebron James was living up to his MVP status.

This game was a crucial game for the heat trying to avoid going down 3-1 in a best of seven series. After the spat with his coach and a horrible shooting game, Dwayne Wade decided he would get away and get refocused. Visiting Indiana University, Wade had his college coach to meet him there to give him advise on what he needed to do. Boy did it pay off. After having a bad first half, Wade came out blazing in the second half, finishing the game with 30 points.

Lebron is playing on another level in this series. He single handed kept the heat in the game in the first half. He is on a mission like no other. Maybe it was the choke sign that Indiana bench was gesturing in game 3 after a missed freethrow by Lebron that lit a fire in James. Lebron finished the game with 40 points and 1 assist shy of a triple double.

The Heat has regained home court advantage and now has the momentum rolling in their favor. If Wade and Lebron execute a full game like they did the second half of this game, the pacers may be in some serious trouble the rest of the way. The series is now a best of 3 series and game 5 will give either team a big advantage.

Junior Seau Found Dead In His California Home

Ex-NFL player Junior Seau was found dead in his California home this morning by his girlfriend.Reports are that a single gunshot to the chest was the cause of death.Suicide is the unofficial cause of death until further investigation.

The USC Trojan played his NFL career with several different teams including San Diego Chargers, Miami Dolphins, and New England Patriots.

The NFL is a very dangerous contact sport because of impacts on collisions.Even though over the last couple of season the NFL has tried to put together rules for players taking shots to the head and suffering serious concussions, there still raise the question about players that have been in the league for a decade or more.Could repeated blows to the head during an NFL career play a major factor in the suicides in contact sports.

Ex Chicago Bears Dave Duerson committed suicide not long ago with a self inflicted gunshot wound and now Junior Seau.Could it be that these are 2 isolated incidents by 2 ex-football players?

Our prayers goes out to the family of #55 Junior Seau.
