Facing Clemens ( Cause/Effect)

Authors Note: We had to do a cause and effect piece and i decided to do it about the book Facing Clemens By Jonathan Mayo because i like baseball. But i also like this book.

The cause in this book or what happens is people claim Roger of taking steroids. Some of the people that claim hi of taking steroids in the book are Brain his trainer. Brain claims that he injected roger with steroids for many years. Also Many of his former teammates alleged him of taking steroids. Such as Andy Pettitte. Andy is one of Roger's Teammates when he was on the Yankees.

The Effect of the people accusing Roger of taking steroids is that he had to be suspended from the MLB season and also had to go to court. But the worst out of all of these is that Roger wont be able to be inducted into the hall of fame is he is accused of this. Roger is a very good pitcher and if he isn't accused he should be a first ballot hall of famer

Travel Team

The main conflict in the book Travel Team by Mike Lupica. Is that Danny walker is told by the coach that he is not tall enough to be on the Vikings, a local travel team.(Person vs Person) This travel team happens to be the same team that Danny’s dad was on when he led the team to a ESPN championship.  After all of this Danny thinks about quitting basketball.

The greatest team ever

The Boston Celtics also known as the Celts are NBA team based in Boston,Massachusetts. They play in the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference. Founded in 1946, the team is currently owned by Boston Basketball Partners LLC. The Celtics play their home games at the TD Garden, which they share with the Boston Bruins of the NHL. The Celtics' 17 NBA Championships are the most for any NBA franchise, with their Western Conference rival, the Los Angles Lakers, following with 16 NBA Titles. From 1957 to 1969, the Celtics dominated the league winning 11 championships in 13 years, and eight in a row 1959–1966, the longest consecutive streak of any North American pro sports team.

Mr. Clutch

Author's Note: Our group chose to write about our favorite basketball player. I chose Paul because he is my favorite.

 

A 10 time all star Paul Pierce AKA The Truth. In my opinion he is the clutchest player of all time. With 11 game winners. but the reason i most like him is because he is classy and is not all cocky like Kobe or Lebron. He also helps in the community. He is a great person and basketball player. He is like Steve Nash.

Can he come up in the clutch?

Author's Note: Our group decided to write about  pro basketball and this story is important in basketball right now.

10.2 seconds left in the games the phillips arena is going crazy fans on their feet loudest that they ever have been all season. Atlanta’s Josh Smith to inbound the ball as he throws the ball in Boston’s Rajon Rondo steps in the passing lane stealing the ball. Time ticking down as he anxiously dribbling the ball up the court precious time ticking off the clock.9..8..7..6..5.. then Rondo gets trapped in the corner.

Then not thinking he just throws up a lazy pass. which was weakly hit out of the air then the ball starts rolling heading out of bounds 4..3..2..1.. ERRRRRR the buzzer sounds the Atlanta Hawks win. The series 3-2 Celtics lead.
