BELIEVE. If you are up against the number one team, most often than not, people will write you off at one. That you can’t win against them. The Golden State Warriors seem to prove that: Yes, we can beat them, all we have to do is believe that we can and play the best we can. And that they did. The Golden State Warrios have beaten the Dallas Mavericks, 111-86, to move on the next round. This is the third time an eight seeded team has beaten the number one team on the NBA.

Hard work does really pay off. Stephen Jackson scored 33 points with a record seven 3-pointers, and an injured Baron Davis played and even scored 20 points. The team really has that will to win and be the best team they can to move on the second round of the NBA Playoffs.

Good Luck Warriors! 

 World #2 Rafael Nadal beats World #1 Roger Federer at the ATP Masters Series Monte Carlo Final, 6-4, 6-4. Nadal has really proven that he is the one to beat in clay courts. He has beaten Federer 4 times on clay now and Nadal has extended his winning streak to 67 consecutive wins on clay. This is the third time Rafael Nadal won the Monte Carlo Championship. He has beaten Roger Federer seven (7) times already and has only lost three.

VAMOS RAFA!!!

Alex Rodriguez might have just got the Yankee fans support with his walk-off grand slam a few weeks ago but his hard work does not end there. Again, he helped Igawa to earn his first major win against the Cleveland Indians. A-rod’s home run marked his ninth home run this season. Jason Giambi also delivered a home run to lift the Yankees past the Indians.

This is the second time that Alexa Rodriguez and Jason Giambi had a home run to help Igawa earn his wins. The first was up against the Baltimore Orioles–a come from behind win. And now a win against the Indians. It also marks the first consecutive homers of the New York Yankees this year.
