NBA In-Season Tournament Finals Preview
The NBA In-Season Tournament Finals is set for a rematch of the 2000 NBA Finals of the Indiana Pacers and the Los Angeles Lakers. This game is the classic small market vs big market team. The ages and payrolls of each team will get brought up a lot too on the broadcast. But none of

NBA In-Season Tournament Semi-Finals Preview 12/7
We finally made it to Vegas for the In-Season Tournament Semi-Finals where the Bucks take on the Pacers and the Lakers play the Pelicans. I hope Christopher Moltisanti (Michael Imperioli) is on the floor of the blue court since he was the face of the commercials and is the Goat. The Bucks got here by

New York Clown Show
When I wrote the article about the Jets on Monday, it was right before Diana Russini’s report that the Jets wanted to turn back to starting Zach Wilson at Quarterback but he was “reluctant” to step back into playing for the Jets. Everyone on Jets Twitter had an opinion, including the beat reporters that were

NBA Recap- IST Knockout 12/4
Adam Silver was cooking with the In-Season Tournament idea. I know I have been on it from day one but yesterday’s games were two of the most fun, hard-fought games maybe in NBA history prior to the Christmas Day games.

Yesterday’s game was the same movie I have

Weekend Preview- 12/1-12/3
Wow, how is it already December? 2023 has one month left and a banger of a weekend in the sports world. Last night the Knicks took care of business behind Jalen Brunson’s 42 6 and 8 performance. Killian Hayes played his best game in the NBA scoring 23 points on 10-13 shooting to keep it

11/30/23 Preview
Happy 11/30/23. While this looks like a normal date to pretty much everyone, it is nice to acknowledge the best trio in NBA history by the date. That being Klay Thompson, Steph Curry, and Draymond Green. Lets hope Klay can snap out of his funk tonight and spark the start of a Warriors winning streak.

NBA Preview and IST Recap- 11/29
What a night in the Association. Last night was Adam Silver’s vision of the In-Season Tournament played out. Being at the Garden, there was a different feel than a normal Tuesday night game against the Hornets (shoutout Jayson Tatum for playing in a Monday night game in Charlotte) and the crowd was into it the

NBA Preview 11/28-In-Season Tournament
Today is the final day of the In-Season Tournament group stage and every game has implications for the Knockout Stage. Before I get into the implications and games I am excited to watch, I have to give a shoutout to Reggie Jackson and Deandre Jordan. In the year 2023, the Clippers let Reggie Jackson score
