Stumble & Fall

I watched the postgame press conference after Game 5, and I couldn't believe that Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook was so down, heads bowed down, and I felt as if they already lost the series. I am not an expert in reading people but it seemed to me they were hiding the true things that made them sulk like that. I have no idea... maybe the coaching? Blaming themselves? I was watching them looking at the box score on the table trying to look for positives. "I had three steals", said Westbrook when a reported tried to put him down him even more. I felt sorry for them. Charles Xavier: Just because someone stumbles and loses their way, it doesn’t mean they’re lost forever.

Taong vs Alupin: Hallucinations

Ok Day 2, baby! I am picking Tyrese Maxey while Embiid is not scheduled to play Game 1. Even with Embiid later, I don't think they can get past the Celtics. Onto Alupin... I told him my pick and he started to diss my pick :P The vault is wide open, Taong, and you’ve chosen to pick a lock that everyone else is already staring at. Taking Tyrese Maxey on the 19th? A predictable move. You think you're clever because Embiid is in the infirmary and Maxey has the "green light." Here is why your "masterstroke" is actually a clumsy fumble: Why You Are Wrong (The Guard's Trap) The Boston Fortress: You are sending Maxey alone into the TD Garden. Without the threat of Embiid in the middle, the Celtics’ defense—led by Derrick White and the length of Jalen Brown—will swarm Maxey like a hornet’s nest. They don't have to worry about the paint; they only have to stop him. You’re betting on a man to thrive while being hounded by the best defensive backcourt in the lea...

BOLD PREDICTIONS: It's Happening Again!

It's time for the 7th annual Bold Predictions segment! I now sit at (2-48) lifetime after going (1-7) last year. As always, I'll continue to make these BOLD as hell (many with multiple things that need to happen), but I have a good feeling about this playoffs. In fact, I bet I'm nailing one of these three below. It's time to get BOLD baby! BOS/PHI: Celtics AGAIN will win by double figures & Tatum will have a double-double (at the very least). The Sixers really don't stand a chance with Embiid so this will be more of the same. This Celtics squad looks more fierce than those of the recent past & I don't see them laying off the gas any time soon. SAS/POR: Spurs will AGAIN win by double figures & this time Wemby WILL get a double-double (at the very least.) We all know how this series is going to shake down. Portland would be lucky to win one game. LAL/HOU: Man, you know how badly I want to stick with the t...
