So let's look at a quick breakdown of Boston vs Miami. Written as an unbiased Celtics fan Pick: Boston in 7 again, possibly 6 ECF rematch: Last year Boston was able to get by Miami in 7 games. They're aren't many differences between this year's matchup and last year's. Herro likely being out wil

The 2023 NBA Playoffs are finally here...sort of. With the play-ins set to begin tomorrow (7:30 PM EST), we get our first glimpse of the post-season bracket. The play-ins get underway in Miami, where the winner of the Hawks vs Heat match-up will travel to Boston to face the Celtics (My Celtics) i

The draft is finally here. Tonight is the night careers are born and foundations are built. And it all starts in Orlando. In case you haven't kept up, my hometown Orlando Magic will draft numero uno in tonight's draft. I'll be breaking down the top 5 expected picks and what to watch for, startin

With the NBA Finals in full effect (series tied at 1 game a piece), comes the Stanley Cup Finals. The Colorado Avalanche have clinched their place in the finals after a thrilling comeback north of the border in Edmonton, to sweep McDavid and the Oilers 4 games to nil. MY Rangers are up 2 games to

*I wrote an entire breakdown of each game for each series, which somehow DID NOT SAVE. With that being said, I will keep this as short as possible due to annoyance. Eastern Conference - Celtics (2) x Heat (1). Series tied at a game a piece. Western Conference - Mavs (4) x Warriors (3). Warriors

As of this moment, we are roughly 30 games into 162. Here are a few comments prior to predicting the 2022 World Series match-up: -> The Yankees and Dodgers are a top the AL and NL standings. Not a huge surprise here as Los Angeles has had arguably the deepest lineup in baseball history over the

As usual, I have been watching the NBA Playoffs closely. Whether you have been keeping up or not, here is a list of five things from across the bracket which have stood out: 1. Kevin Durant is an all-time scorer, not an all-time player This is one I have been saying for years, this year's playof

I've created TWO different lists for my Top 5 in the NBA. LeBron, while he is the goat of his era, did NOT make my cuts. I will say, however, that he was in deep consideration and i fully understand anyone having him in the top 2. There's plenty of ways you could've gone here, but I will preface my

The 2022 NBA Playoffs begins tomorrow, April 12th, with the Play-In tournament. Many fans, including LeBron James, have voiced their displeasure with this recent addition to the overall playoff format. I, however, LOVE the change. In the past, 16 teams (8 East, 8 West) would make the playoffs.

Every era in sports has it's collection of stars. Individuals which lead their leagues year after year. Now, more than ever, we are at the end of an era across many sports. Tiger Woods has officially announced he will play in the 2022 Masters at Augusta after missing time due to a potentially career

If you're an independent artist and just getting started, this is more or less the creative process: 1. Create an instrumental (either purchased or produce on your own) 2. Write and record lyrics 3. Create a visual (preferably a music video, but cover image is fine) 4. Share and promote My first mu

Everyone loves bass in their music. It gives the song emotion and vibe. There's many ways you can approach giving your song bass as a producer. A few common ways are: 1. Kicks 2. 808s 3. Sub 4. Bass Guitar For most, your choice would depend on the mood or genre of the song. Hip hop tracks tend to

This past season, my Cincinnati Bengals FINALLY won a playoff game (First time in my lifetime). Led by Joe Burrow, they exceeded expectations by making the Super Bowl. We didn't win, but the year was clearly a success. Fast forward to the off-season. The Cleveland Browns invited quarterback Desh

When you think of Kanye West nowadays, you usually think headache. From his ongoing problems with Kim Kardashian, to example after example of wild comments or moments, Kanye has become someone most people love to hate. BUT.... Let's not forget to acknowledge the musical talent that he is. Kanye

The Boston Celtics (MY Boston Celtics) are heavily in the race for Kevin Durant. KD has made it clear he wants out of Brooklyn. That much is clear. But where does he end up? Originally, it looked as though Miami and Phoenix were in the lead for KD. While Miami is still in the running, the C's see

How do you define clutch? Is it a game-winner shot at the buzzer? Or showing up late in the biggest moments? Regardless of your definition, we know it when we see it. Not every player gets their buckets in the same manner. Some are spot-up shooters, while others create in isolation. Either way,

Let's get straight to the pick: I've got Boston in 7 games. Why? Many reasons. I originally had the C's taking this series in 6 games. This was during the 2nd round of the playoffs when Boston was going up against the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks. I thought the winner of that series would

I've been seeing posts about how Drake is better than Michael Jackson. Ill preface with this: Most people I see saying this are under the age of 25. So I can partially understand their lack of exposure to MJ, but I can't fully absolve them. I have Jay-Z over Drake even within his own genre of music

This entire post is in response to having to hear the same comment throughout my life: "your teams are all over the place". This is always said AS IF I switch teams I support and ride the bandwagon of successful runs. Any real sports fan knows, you pick a team and you're stuck with them for lif

Year after year, the NBA lacks parody. In the past decade, separation between the haves and the have-nots has been a gap larger than ever before. The league has been top-heavy with stars aligning to play together and smaller markets being left in the dark. But there is hope! As I write this, the C

The 2022 MLB season is almost underway, and as a lifelong Yankees fan, it's one of my favorite times of the year. The Bronx Bombers have made a few moves of late to bolster the lineup. However, many feel they did not do enough to make the Series. Out in Queens, the Mets have made significa

In the Jordan Era, the Eastern Conference was the dominant collection of teams. Michael's Bulls, Bird's Celtics, the rise of the Orlando Magic, the Knicks, Pacers, Heat, Sixers, Nets teams, and so on. But in the 21st century, the West has been best. From the Lakers and Spurs dynasties to the rec

It's March Madness season and the round of 32 has once again offered its share of near and completed upsets. Heading into the 2022 college football season, the playoff format still remains at 4 teams. Expansion will be tabled for a few years. One reason against expansion has always been, "teams o

Will Westbrook make the Hall of Fame? Yes. It is the BASKETBALL Hall of Fame, not the NBA Hall of Fame. Of the four major sports, it is the easiest to get voted-in. Westbrook's triple-double history alone will get him into the Hall. But... I don't think he's a true Hall of Famer. Stats are for pe
