Pirates of the Caribbean 4

Yesterday I saw Pirates of the Caribbean 4. Considiring the very bad reviews the others got this movie did very well. It is the #1 box office movie. In this movie, Jack is in search of the fountain of youth, and is sailing on a ship with Barbossa. HOLD UP! Why is a 1700's pirate in a 2011 movie? Also if you didnt know this, the Elizabeth and Will storyline is gone because they arent in the movie. YAY! Instead they replaced them with Penelope Cruz. AWW. I didnt really like her because they played Mexican Music half the movie, which stinks. The main thing I didnt like was the mermaids. I will not give spoilers but I think the mermaids were very dumb. SO SORRY MERMAID FANS! Anyway I did like the plot line of this movie and of course Jack was awesome so overall I give this movie a 8.5 or 9 out of 10. Oh wait one more thing DO NOT AND I REPEAT DON NOT SEE THIS MOVIE IN 3D! It is a total waste of 3 bucks.
Thanks,

Western Confernece Champioship

Well where do I start. The Mavs and Thunder played in the first game of the 2011 Western Conference Finals. Coming in to the game the Mavs had an edge because of the 4 game sweep of the Lakers while the Thunder had gone into a 7-game series with the Grizzlies. In the first half, the game was pretty even with the Mavs having a 7 point lead over the Thunder. Dirk had 21 points while Durant had 17. The second half was when the mavs started to pull away. During this run, Dirk went 17-17 on free throws. Dirk had either got the Thunder players in foul trouble or shot over them. In the fourth quarter the Thunder started to make a run though with Kevin Durant hitting his normal shots and Russel Westbrook, who had not played well in the first 3 quarters, started making his layups. But this run was quickly stopped by Dirk nailing his amazing fade aways, and the JET hitting a few threes. An interesting fact about this game was that Dirk broke the record for most free throws made in a row in a playoff game with 22 free throws. The mavs ended up winning the game 121-112.
