Golden State Warriors vs. Boston Celtics in NBA Finals 2022

Today, the Boston Celtics upset the Miami Heat in a game 7 in FTX Arena. The Celtics won game 7, and they won the series by the margin of 4-3. The Celtics won three out of four games on the road, in the Eastern Conference Finals. Boston lost two of the first three games, then they won two games in a row. In game 6 of this eastern conference finals, Boston could not clinch the series at home. Celtics lost at home by eight points, but found a way to win game 7 tonight on the road in Miami. Next, the NBA finals is set for June 2 in San Francisco. The Celtics will play in Chase Center, against the Golden State Warriors. Golden State beat Dallas in five games, and Dallas was the #4 seed. The Warriors were the #3 seed in the Western Conference, and Boston Celtics are the #2 seed from the East. The Celtics and the Warriors split their season series, during the regular season. The Celtics will have to continue to win on the road, if they want to win the NBA Championship this year. Back to the Westside, the Dallas Mavericks upset the #1 Phoenix Suns in the Western Conference Semifinals. Dallas won that series, by a 4-3 margin with a convincing victory in Phoenix in game 7. The Warriors beat Memphis Grizzlies in six games, even though Memphis was the #2 seed in West. Golden State is heading to their sixth finals appearance in the past eight years. The last time for Golden State in the finals was 2018-19 season. Toronto Raptors beat Golden State in that series, by a series margin of 4-2. Back to the Eastside, the Celtics beat the Milwaukee Bucks in game 7 in Boston. Milwaukee went up 3-2, with a game 5 win in Boston. The Celtics won game 6 in Milwaukee, and Boston won game 7 in a major blowout. The Celtics had a grinding series with the defending champion Bucks. Nonetheless, the Celtics vs. Heat is the best series in the Eastern Conference. If Miami beat Boston tonight, Jimmy Butler would have played in the NBA finals for the second time in past three years. In this penultimate paragraph, Boston has to find a way to stop Klay; Draymond; and Stephen Curry. Also, there are more weapons in Golden State with the likes of Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins. Boston's defense will have to stop all five of these potential scoring threats. The Warriors will have to stop Jayson Tatum; Jaylen Brown; and Al Horford. From the defensive standpoint, the Warriors will have to stop Marcus Smart. Smart won the Defensive player of the year award in 2021-22 season. In closing, the Warriors have their work cut out to win their fourth championship in the past eight years. Boston Celtics won their last NBA championship in 2008, against the LA Lakers. Which team will hoist the Larry O'Brien championship trophy? The NBA Finals should be another exciting series to watch. Peace!

Seeing H.E.R and Coldplay concert in 'Music of the Spheres' tour is AMAZING!!

Almost two days ago, G. Ripley saw H.E.R. perform in concert. She opened her set list with 'We going Crazy' without DJ Khaled and Migos. It is ok, that they did not show up. Her voice is awesome and she is a huge Coldplay fan. She played for forty five minutes and she sang other cool songs like 'Damage' and 'I can have it all.' The last thing for H.E.R. is she had to sing rock songs and more R&B hits from her collection. About fifty minutes later, Coldplay came on stage to the E.T. theme. Chris Martin and his three bandmates came onto the stage, by walking into the audience first. It was a surreal experience to see Coldplay sing their songs, with the audience wearing LED wristbands. The wristbands lit up with different colors, like red; green; purple; black and white. The show had pyrotechnics and fireworks of different colors. Coldplay sang old songs like 'charlie brown' and current songs like 'my universe.' Next, Coldplay decided to shoot a video with the audience. Coldplay told the audience to turn off their phones; and to stop shooting video or taking pictures. The audience followed the instructions suprisingly. For G. Ripley, his smartphone was turned off throughout the show. Coldplay played more than twenty songs in their setlist. Sitting in section 124 to see the show was amazing. In addition, the setlist for Coldplay was in the following order: Higher Power; Adventure of a Lifetime; Paradise; Charlie Brown; The Scientist; Viva la Vida; Hymn for the Weekend; Let Somebody Go; In My Place; Yellow; Sunrise; Human Heart; People of the Pride; Clocks; Infinity Sign; Something Just Like This; Midnight; My Universe; A Sky Full of Stars; Biutyful; Sparks; Fix You; Humankind. The crowd and atmosphere became electric during 'Viva La Vida' due to fireworks; confetti; and the LED wristbands. Coldplay is a group that my family members have seen, so it made me want to see this group so bad. In closing, seeing Coldplay up close was an unforgettable one. G. Ripley recommends this group, even though Dakota Johnson or Gwyneth Paltrow was not in the crowd. Chris Martin is linked to both of these actresses in his sensational romantic life. Coldplay made many different references to cleaning up the environment; and climate change as part of their epic concert.
