Each week, The Three-Man Weave will fill the lanes and Weave To Achieve on the News, Views and Truths of the NBA and beyond. The unit will be led by Will Strickland and Duane Watson, hosts of TSN 1050s basketball radio show, 1 On 1 with Will & Duane. This week, the first overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, Toronto native and Cleveland Cavaliers forward Anthony Bennett joins the discussion, where The #3MW discusses the Raptors looking to win their first playoff series in over a decade, Commissioner Adam Silvers ruling on Donald Sterling and of course the NBA Playoffs. What Do The Raptors Have To Do To Win Game 6 in Brooklyn? Bennett: Its good to see the Raptors back in the playoffs and have the whole city of Toronto behind them. Brooklyn is a tough and experienced team. I think the Raptors will have to limit turnovers, rebound efficiently and contain Deron Williams and Joe Johnson. Watson: Defense, defense, defense. If the Raptors can muster up that defense presence they used at the end of Game 4, the game is theirs. The quick double-teams on scorers like Joe Johnson and more importantly the second man rotations, have proven to limit the Nets opportunities. problems. Offensively, they have to continue to move the ball and use their size to their advantage with the solid play of their big men of Jonas Valanciunas, Amir Johnson and Patrick Patterson. Strickland: Protect The Pumpkin. Value Every Possession On Both Ends. Win Every Quarter By One Point. Be Not Afraid Of The Moment. Then And Only Then Will The World Unfold As It Should... #WeTheNorthNBA Commissioner Adam Silvers Lifetime Ban Of Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Was...? Bennett: The Commissioners lifetime ban of Donald Sterling was very fitting. The NBA is a very diverse league with players from all over the world. The league continues to grow and it is my belief that this ban will help to grow the NBA. Watson: Swift and fair. Knowing the past pandering of former Commissioner David Stern, the league office has been known to favour its owners. Commissioner Silver unequivocally established himself as his own man in the most important decision of his young tenure. He did exactly what he was supposed to do, but truth be told, I was a little surprised that he did it, based on the history of the league. Strickland: Adroit and Resolute. It was far more than Id initially expected, but Silvers playing the long game. Any equivocation outside of Sterlings expulsion from the league as an owner would have possibly done irreparable damage to the NBA... and he and the other 29 owners knew it. Silver officially became the Commissioner of the NBA once he planted this flag. It will be a defining moment in his legacy. Adam Silvers decision didnt end racism in sports, ownership or the world. But it did set a very important precedent and protocol in dealing with issues like this in sport. Most Surprising Player In The Eastern Conference Playoffs Thus Far? Bennett: The most surprising player in the East hasnt been a surprise to me because I have played against him in Las Vegas, but it would have to be Kyle Lowry. He is just incredible for what he brings to the game for his size. Watson: Washington Wizards big man Nene missed 22 games down the stretch of the season with a sprained MCL and only played in four regular season matches before the post-season. He not only came back averaging 17.8 points per game in the playoffs on .548 % from the field, spacing the floor, but outplayed Defensive Player of the Year Joakim Noah. In his 11th season, hes showing he still has it and is a perfect compliment to the the speed and shooting of the Wizards wings in John Wall, Bradley Beal and Trevor Ariza. Strickland: Nene, easily. The talents always been there. Sounds a little oxymoronic to say "Wizards fans", but... They should revel in the fact that Nenes finally put it all together when it counted most, destroying the 2013-2014 Defensive Player of The Year, Joakim Noah. He must also not become a #BrainCrampChamp during the playoffs by getting ejected/suspended for working on his MMA skills during NBA games! Most Surprising Player In The Western Conference Playoffs Thus Far? Bennett: In the West, it would have to be Damian Lillard. Scary that this is the first go around in the NBA Playoffs and he looks like hes been there for years. Watson: LaMarcus Aldridge of the Trail Blazers has been in discussion as one of the best power forwards in the NBA, but he is ending those talks with his post season play right now. The power forward is averaging 29.8 points per game with 10.8 rebounds, carrying his team on his back. His ability to consistently knock down the mid-range jumper at a clip of .500% has forced the Houston big men to come out and contest him or get beat off the dribble. He has shown another level to his game, particularly when it matters. Strickland: La Marcus Aldridge. He felt like he should have started in the All-Star this past season and hes proving why he should be considered without question one of the best players in the NBA, if not the best power forward in the game. 30 ppg and 11 rpg are monster numbers that can only aid this young Portland Trail Blazers team in securing a first round defeat of the highly touted Houston Rockets of James Harden and Dwight Howard. Aldridge can have those guys reaching for the tackleboxes early to start their summers of lament and woe with a legendary Game 7 performance. The 2014-2015 Anthony Bennett Will Be...? Bennett: Next season, I will finally be a healthy me again who gets to play in summer league and contribute to my teams success in the regular season and we will hopefully be in the playoffs next year.Watson: Whatever he wants himself to be. The Toronto, ON native faced intense criticism last year after recovering from shoulder surgery, which forced him to miss summer league and parts of training camp. He wont have those obstacles this year, which should all help his growth, he showed flashes of the talent that earned him the #1 pick in the 2013 NBA Draft and has tons of motivation to prove all of his critics wrong. Look for Bennett to bounce back. Strickland: A Year Better. A Year Stronger. A Year Wiser. Bennett, who I chose as Rookie Of The Year in our Pre-Season #UNO Awards on #1On1, fell far short of that lofty goal. It was a difficult year of ridicule, doubt, injury, second-guessing and hand wringing for Cavs fans and media pundits. Bramptons very own Anthony Bennett should shed the weight of expectation and go into training camp next season armed with knowledge of the effort it takes to be a top flight NBA player and work to achieve all of his goals and not ours.

Its what they expected. And now theyll meet in a French Open final with so much at stake for both. Cheap NFL Jerseys . They became the first French team to win the mens doubles at Roland Garros since Yannick Noah and Henri Leconte in 1984. They broke for a 5-3 lead in the opening set. They won the last four points in the tiebreaker and clinched the victory when Lopez netted a volley. http://www.stitchedchinajersey.com/ . Heyward-Bey did not practice all week because of a hamstring injury. Coach Chuck Pagano said Heyward-Bey was expected to miss at least a week and they signed former New England receiver Deion Branch to help fill the void. Cheap Authentic Jerseys . And thats quite a turnaround from how things seemed less than a week ago. LeBron James fought through a sore back to score 32 points, Chris Bosh added 18 and the Heat used another strong defensive effort to beat the Toronto Raptors 93-83 on Monday night. Cheap NBA Jerseys . Long-standing doubts have been cast over the legitimacy of the participants intentions. Many have surmised that both Jim and Jim were in on the melee and the whole episode was rehearsed. If thats the case, it did no favours for either party, as Rome in particular struggled to book guests in the wake of the incident. Neither party has ever admitted to staging the fight, and the sentiments were likely real.VICTORIA -- Katerine Savard broke the Canadian record in the womens 100-metre butterfly on Friday at the world championship swimming trials. The 17-year-old Quebec native clocked 57.97 seconds to eclipse the previous national mark of 58.67 set by Montreals Audrey Lacroixin July 2009. It was also the fifth fastest time in the world this year and she beat her personal best by one second. Lacroix took the silver in 59.42 and 15-year-old Noemie Thomas of Vancouver was third in 59.73. "Im really proud with that performance," said Savard. "It shows that Im getting closer to the best in the world but Ill have to swim even faster to get in the final at the world championships." The competition is determining Canadas team for the 2011 FINA World Championships this summer in Shanghai. On Friday, the team list grew to 28 with one day of racing left. In the womens 100 backstroke, Julia Wilkinson of Stratford, Ont., took her third individual gold in 1:00.39, just missing the Canadian record. Sinead Russell of Oakville, Ont., followed in 1:00.76. "I know I have it in me I just have to get it together at the right time," said Wilkinson, who was gunning for the national mark. "I had a great swim in the prelims and if I could have taken that energy for the final I think I could have gone under a minute." In the mens 100 backstroke, Tobias Oriwol of Toronto won in 55.06 while Matt Hawes of Ottawa and Charles Francis of Montreal tied for second at 55.10, under the qualifying standard. A swim-off will be held Saturday between Hawes and Francis to determine who gets the second spot in the event. "I knew it was going to be a really tight race," said Oriwol. "I just had to work on my own strategy and to be honest Im surprised to win. Im glad to be on the team going to China this summer." In the mens 100 butterfly, Joe Bartoch of London, Ont., is also headed to China after winning in 52.95. "I like to get ahead of everybody and let them can catch me," said Barttoch, a 2008 Olympian.dddddddddddd "That way Im in control. Its great to be going to China again. I had a great experience the first time." Samantha Cheverton of Pointe-Claire, Que., notched her second individual victory taking the 200 freestyle in 1:58.80. Barbara Jardin of Montreal also went under the standard clocking 1:59.25. Both had qualified Wednesday in the 400 freestyle with the same 1-2 finish. "This is exactly what I wanted to this meet," said Cheverton. "I couldnt have dreamed of having a better performance with best times and making the team. Having made the team initially in the 400 freestyle (on Wednesday) relieved a lot of pressure for tonight. I really wanted to win so bad." In the mens 200 freestyle, Colin Russell of Oakville withstood a strong challenge from Calgarys Chad Bobrosky to win in 1:49.18. With the win, Russell gets to swim the event at worlds and Bobrosky and Blake Worsley of Victoria in third qualify for the relay. "Its great to get that win in the 200 but Im also pleased to see the young guys putting the heat on me," said Russell. "It took everything I had to get my hand on that wall. I was really impressed to see Chad so close to me, I just caught him in the corner of my eye near the end the race." Jillian Tyler of Calgary posted another personal best time to win the 50 breaststroke to cap a solid performance this week. "Ive done a lot of racing in the last month and half and to get the win and a best time is a great confidence booster," said Tyler, who won the 100 breaststroke Thursday to earn her world team nomination. "I really got some motivation going into the rest of the summer." Warren Barnes of Toronto won the mens 50 breaststroke. The 50 breaststrokes are not team qualifying events. "It was a great swim for me only 0.2 off my best," Barnes said. "I really wished I could have made the world team. Still this is a good way to head into the next part of the season."
