Day 338

Fresh Start_338: Allen Crabbe to Brooklyn
With the trade to pick up Allen Crabbe from the Portland Trail Blazers; Sean Marks and the Nets have become roster dump central in the NBA, and I don’t have a problem with it. The plan to just get talent and throw it on the floor regardless of what the contract is; is a smart plan with the amount of cap room that the Nets have and the inability to attract any free agents this offseason.

The way that Billy King left Brooklyn after the trade that will live in infamy—Marks took the job as Nets GM being in a tough spot. The fans being as hostile as any fan base in the NBA, it can take a lot out of a general manager. The fans just wanted a plan that the organization can follow and stick too. The Nets didn’t seem to have a plan through last offseason and this past trade deadline. This offseason the “Sean Marks Plan” has been put into motion and it is clearly spend the money now while the Nets have it and try to win games.

The Nets now have D’Angelo Russell, Timofey Mozgov, Demarre Carroll, and now Allen Crabbe. The Nets also had the highest cap number at the beginning of the offseason, and now have probably three new starters. We will see how much production the new backcourt of Lin and Russell, with Crabbe and Carroll being the small ball small forward and power forward.

I am excited to see how badly we can mess up the Boston pick this upcoming year. It should be fun to grab a couple $5 tickets on a random Tuesday night and see the Brooklyn Nets compete to play spoiler.

The Yankees didn't "Work in the Rain" on Seinfeld Night

  When it rains it pours! The rain soaked away 38 minutes in the Bronx tonight and continued in the 9 th and 10 th inning as the Boston Red Sox storm back at the last possible second to steal the opener of a weekend set against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium. Masataka Yoshida hit the game tying blast into the right field seats in the 9 th and Ceddanne Rafaela hit the eventual game winning home run into monument park in right center field in the 10 th . This loss comes at the worst possible time given the fact that Nestor Cortes was sharp throwing six innings and only surrounding a solo shot by Romy Gonzalez in the 5 th inning. This coming off the heels of poor starts from every starting pitcher over the weekend. Luke Weaver danced out of trouble to set the Yankee bats up for some insurance in the bottom of the 8 th they ultimately needed but couldn’t secure. With this loss, the Bombers have now dropped four in a row, and five consecutive home games, falling to 54-36, a...

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...

Juan Soto Returns And Gerrit Cole gets closer to Cy Young Caliber

  Juan Soto and the New York Yankees responded yesterday afternoon in Toronto with an 8-1 drubbing against the last place Toronto Blue Jays. After being inserted into the lineup at the very last minute, Juan Soto got the Bomber bats going with a single in his first at-bat, followed up by Aaron Judge’s 31 st home run of the season off the batter’s eye in center field. Soto returned after missing just his 5 th game all season and was his usual MVP candidate self. “[My hand] was a little swollen, but I think it was in a spot that I could help my team. I was feeling good warming up, and I know I had a pretty good chance to win a ball game today, so I went for it.” Soto had that first inning single, and two walks in his unexpected return. Even though the dynamic duo got the scoring started, they weren’t the stars of the afternoon. That came from two bench players that because of the recent injury troubles have gotten the chance to play. The first, in his best game in his young career ...
