Playoff format

When examining the Cleveland Cavaliers’ preseason performance thus far, an often heard question comes to mind. How much should preseason play be factored into projecting the upcoming NBA regular season? The Cavs met the Atlanta Hawks, Philadelphia 76ers and Memphis Grizzlies in their first three preseason games and lost each contest, albeit by an average of less than five points per game. Tuesday night, the Cavaliers (more like a deficient version of the team) met the Milwaukee Bucks at Quicken Loans Arena. The result was a 110-101 Bucks victory, pushing the Cavs’ preseason record to 0-4. “It’s definitely good to get back in front of the home fans,” Cavs guard Mo Williams said. “The most important thing was getting out there and getting in rhythm, getting geared up for October 27th — That’s the most important date.” The Cavs open their regular season on Oct. 27 in Chicago against the Bulls. Tuesday night against Milwaukee, none of the players projected to be Cleveland’s regular season starters played in the game. Kyrie Irving, J.R. Smith, LeBron James, Kevin Love and Timofey Mozgov all sat out Tuesday’s contest due to injury or rest. Cavs shooting guard Iman Shumpert, who would have likely been the regular season starter over Smith, also missed the game as he continues to recover from right wrist surgery. Cleveland, short most of their key players, attempted to find scoring in other areas. Williams led Cleveland with 18 points, six rebounds and four assists. Richard…

assessment, instead of selecting them individually and then learning more about it, as it is with AzCIS. Both systems rank the assessments into several categories, but the format that AzCIS uses is easier to complete and it includes small graphs used in today’s trending social media (thumbs up/down/Facebook). Similar assessments are included in both systems including a reality check, which allows the student to find out how much money…

the person did not stay consistent with their bullets or dates. For example, in the skills section everything is inputted into a bullet format. Which is okay, but everything else should follow the bullet format to make it look more professional and more appealing. Also staying on the subject on staying consistent in the section Awards and Recognitions…

In recent years Music99 has been a reliable retailer for Stanton products and your loyalty is always important to us. Unfortunately, it has come to my attention that the sales of our newest product, the FinalScratch system has been failing in the mid-Atlantic region stores. Here at Stanton we find it in both parties interest to ratify the sales approach, so that we can gain from the popularity of the FinalScratch system and its success in other stores. As the marketing manager of Stanton, I…

“Track Tryouts are today. The Wolves had not gotten a gold medal in 12 years I could win the gold," Ryan explains to Sarah. "You do know that Eli is running for the Red Hawks right," Sarah tells Ryan with disappointment. Eli is the fastest kid in their league, he runs a hundred meters in 10.2 seconds. "I know, but he might be in a different heat this year," Ryan says hopefully. "Either way we have to go to tryouts now," Ryan continues. The track is fairly new with the same red turf as all the…

Enriching Encoding Encoding is paying attention to something to remember information through forming memory codes. Enriching encoding is the different ways people adapt to help in forming memory codes. Ways such as Elaboration, which means to connect the new information to our existing schemas. For example, when I read about phobias, I get reminded of my fear of dogs and dentist. Ways also like Visual Imagery where our brains create a mental picture of the word. For example, when people are…

design your product. Sketch up does have a cost but you can use a free trial. All Microsoft products (Word and Excel) are compatible on Windows operating systems so any mac device bought to school with a student will not be able to run these programs. Sketch-up is only compatible with Windows and Mac but not with Linux at the moment. File Management Sharing our files from our own devices to the network can be done through a cloud or google drive. I think using a cloud would be the best…

there is a general sense around the league that the Toronto Raptors have accomplished nothing. 21 seasons of (mostly) underachievement doesn’t help. 1 playoff series win and 7 playoff series losses don’t help. Zero best-of-seven playoff series wins definitely won’t help. Consecutive playoff series losses as the higher seed……well, you get the picture! Are you still reading? Because that’s all the negativity you’re going to get. Toronto has been at or near the top of the conference standings…

The Ultimate NBA Playoff Experience “They need a three to tie, Lowry half court heave a prayer at the buzzer, oh Kyle Lowry he hits and we are going to overtime in Toronto (Eastern).” This is what Kevin Harlen, a NBA commentator, said during the game as Kyle Lowry hit a buzzer beater to go into overtime in the playoffs. The NBA playoffs are a huge attraction in the United States, Canada, and even countries overseas to many people. Basketball can be one of the most exciting sporting events in…
