Day 59

Fresh Start_59: The NBA’s worst
And, the with the first pick in the 2017 NBA Draft the Brooklyn Nets select… Those are the words that NBA Commissioner Adam Silver will be saying come June at the NBA Draft. As a Brooklyn Net fan I am not happy to be a fan of the new Philadelphia 76’ers. This Brooklyn Nets team will be a historically bad season, and how I am perceiving this team I mean the worst in NBA history type of bad.

The roster is made up of a failed first overall pick, an old league shocking star, and former Michigan alumni. Not only that but a bad of misfit toys that have straggled on the island of Brooklyn and have happened to have a basketball jersey on. Brook Lopez is a boarder-line all-star and most likely will not be on the roster at the end of the season. Lopez is the thing of value on the roster at the moment, and could be a part a multi-pick trade that gives a team a nice center and give the Nets picks in the upcoming year. I understand that you have to tear down the tower before you build up the castle. The NBA trophy doesn’t come just with luck. The 76’ers had the new outline to get a great team through the draft and injuries have derailed their success. The Nets will be going that route Philly has been doing for the past five years or so. Kenny Actkinson and Sean Marks won’t be liked most of the fan base for the first couple of years, but it will pay off in the future.

Part of me is happy that one day I will be able to say I am a fan of a NBA champion team, but the other part isn’t happy that the laughing stock of the NBA will be the team that I route for. The team that will be running out on the court will by my estimation will go 0-82, and I am not joking with that statement. The roster that has been assembled is not an NBA roster and that has been proven with the play of the players and their stats. The team is young and that can be an asset, but the in a league of super teams, youth won’t play a factor.

2024 MLB Preview

  Opening Day is about 24 hours away and the Shohei Ohtani gambling story has stole all the headlines and fleeting moments of baseball conversation over the past few days, many have now forgotten about the exciting marathon ahead of us! Even with the ever-evolving Ohtani story clouding the beginning of the Los Angeles Dodgers season, that doesn’t change the fact that L.A. is still the team to beat in baseball. The Dodgers have put their chips at the center of the table, no pun intended, for 2024 to show they can raise another World Series trophy after sending upwards of a billion dollars in free agency. In division however, the surprise Arizona Diamondbacks are capitalizing on their newfound championship window with a fantastic offseason that will have them in the mix to get back to a second straight fall classic. The San Diego Padres are done shopping for superstars, sort of, following a massively disappointing season that saw them move on from one of the games generational talent...

Dan Hurley Saved College Basketball

When you think of Men’s College Basketball, the names of Wooden, Dean, Krzyzewski, Williams, Thompson, and Calipari shoot to mind right away. All the memories of the great teams from UCLA, Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, the Big East, UNLV, and even the Fab Five start to rush back. Nostalgia of a time when the sport meant something different. For all those longing for the days when great teams didn’t dissipate into the transfer portal after one disappointing year—Dan Hurley and the Connecticut Huskies are here to save the day! UConn has done something that only seven other programs have done in the history of college basketball, repeat as champions. Forget all the talk about “best team of all-time,” even though if you look at point differential (like it truly matters), this UConn team is the best team to ever play in the NCAA Tournament. This team means much more to the game of college basketball than that. Coach Hurley has given college basketball what it has been missing since the in...

Last Year the Season was one game long, it's different this year

  It took 363 days, but Jets fans finally got the debut from Aaron Rodgers they waited for. This time around that debut ended in a blowout loss on the road to the San Francisco 49’ers. Last year the Jets won the battle but lost the war following their overtime walk-off win against the Buffalo Bills. This year, the Jets hope they lost the battle but because they have Rodgers they will win the war.   Of all the ways the game could have gone last night, having the Jets defense get thoroughly dominated on the ground by a third year running back, Jordan Mason, who wasn’t a household name until last night, wasn’t on the bingo card. The trademark for Robert Saleh has been his defense. That’s what got him hired from San Francisco. The defense is what Jet fans have pointed to as a reason for optimism heading into this year with Rodgers. The defense was finally supposed to get the complimentary football they have been dying for since Robert Saleh walked in the doors at Florham Park...
