The season has come to a close and the playoffs have begun. Many teams are looking to go deep into the playoffs and take home the championship. I'm really rooting for the Celtics as well as the Nuggets. Soon, they will be announcing the MVP and other various awards so stay tuned for award updates as well as playoff updates.

As of Wednesday, the Heat's historic win streak came to a close against the Bulls. Even without Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, and Richard Hamilton in the lineup, the Bulls were able to end the Heat's 27 game win streak. It was a close and controversial game. Lebron certainly thought that there were some missed calls and was unhappy with the outcome of the game, but now that they have already clinched a playoff spot and their streak is over, they start to rest some of the key players for the playoffs.

To finish, I added a funny video of Dwight Howard before the Lakers vs. Bucks game. Bango, the Buck's mascot had a little fun with Howard.

There have already been some impressive highlights and statistics this season, but lately some of the best plays of the season were made. First, DeAndre Jordon absolutely posterized Brandon Knight in this highlight. Next, the Heat have been going on a tear lately getting their 23rd strait win against the Celtics last night which was quite a nail-biter. After falling behind early, the Heat came back after LeBron James dunks on Jason Terry, switching the momentum in what has become the longest winning streak since the 1971-1972 Los Angeles Lakers.

Now this isn't exactly about NBA, but the annual college tournament is coming up. Many people make their own brackets to attempt to predict the winners of the tournament. ESPN will let you either compete online or print one out and compete against friends. The person with the most accurate bracket will receive a $10,000 gift card to Best Buy. So get your entries in for a chance to win. Click HERE to go to the ESPN Tournament Challenge webpage. By the way, you do need an ESPN account to do this competition. Also, you cannot make a bracket until Sunday, March 17.

Many people have heard of the newest craze, the Harlem Shake. Many people have mad videos and it has become extremely popular. So much so, that the Miami Heat made a video of their own. It starts out with Chris "Birdman" Anderson dancing around the locker room, but when the bass drops the entire team joins in. Click on the link HERE to see this hilarious video.

I'm sure you all know that the All-Star weekend is coming up, but I'd just like to give you a brief overview of what's to come. On Friday the Celebrity game is going to tip off at 7 pm and the Rising Stars Challenge starts at 9pm. On Saturday, the D-League All-Star Game will start at 3pm and the D-League dunk contest will be during half time. Starting at 8:30 that night, there will be four All-Star events starting with the Sears Shooting Stars, then the Taco Bell Skills Challenge, next will be the Foot Locker 3-Point Competition, and ending with the Sprite Slam Dunk Contest.
