New Generation of the NBA

 

For the last 10 years, the NBA has consists of the same NBA players that take over the playoffs where I get to sit and watch. Lebron James, Kevin Durant, James Harden, Russel Westbrook. And throughout this year in the playoffs, I am seeing this new generational players taking over this round over the same veterans that I used to look up to every year. Some of the teams are even close to "Super Teams" and they cannot even get a win in the first round yet. So this is where the question is being talked about... Is there a new sheriff in town in the NBA?

This series has been the most surprising match up that I was not expecting for another couple of years. Anthony Edwards has been a monster throughout the years, but when I saw that this was the matchup, I was not expecting it to be close. The Phoenix Suns just from the look of it, looks like a Super Team. Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal. This team has just made the finals a couple of years ago, and that was without Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal. But everytime I watch these teams play, The Timberwolves look like the real deal as they are destroying them every game this series and showing their emotions of how hype they are. Right now the series is 3-0, and I would be surprised if the Suns give any hustle the next game they play. 

This series with the Nuggets against the Lakers have gotten so bad that Lebron is telling the media, "It's just basketball." A couple of the games have not looked even close, but when the Lakers had the best chance to win with a 20+ point lead, they blew it and had Murry hitting a game winner over Anthony Davis. I am a big fan of Lebron, but I do not know how many years they have left of going to the playoffs and making it anymore. The Lakers have done a pretty good job with picking up some key players, but they for some reason just cannot get the wins they need. I would hate to see a sweep on Lebron, but I think it will be happening. 

The Clippers is one of those teams that if the team all had their players in their prime...it would be one of the greatest teams of all time. You are telling me that James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Kawhi, and Paul George and you are losing in the series? Each of these players have had moments in previous playoffs where they had put the teams on their back to win a whole series. With Luka and Kyrie on the other team, I understand the series will be tough, but I do not even know who the Clippers could get then to make the team even better. 

There is more players that are in this new generation that are taking over and before we know it, the old generation will be done and the only thing we can do is just cherish the old moments.

Dawg in Him

 Every year in basketball, there is a player that talks the talk and is able to walk the walk. There's players like JJ Reddick, Jalen Rose, Grayson Allen, and is the new one now Cam Spencer? Uconn's starting shooting guard is a 5th year senior that has been to 3 different schools and this year is now getting the spotlight of college basketball. Cam Spencer starting his college basketball career at Loyola Maryland, where he played for 3 years where he averaged 10 Freshman year, 10 Sophomore year, and 19 Junior year. After his successful junior year, he transferred to Rutgers for his Senior year averaging 13 points a game as the team went 19-15 and now has transferred for his 5th year going to the reigning national champions Uconn Huskies. I never watched him play until this year, but quickly has caught fans attentions as he has been making multiple clutch shots during the season and has been talking trash along the way. The first time I found out he is not someone to mess with i

Love Is Blind 3 New Episode Reactions

Image
 I think it is very smart for Love Is Blind to bring out the episodes 3 at a time because now I have to wait and wonder what is going to happen for the next episodes when they come out. It is making me crave this television show even more. It is like people having the extra urge to have Chic Fil A on Sunday... just because you cannot have it makes you want it more. With these 3 episodes, some couples already completely ended, some have had some ROCKY moments, and some are absolutely thriving. I was completely wrong about this couple. I thought because they both were such caring and kind people that they would match and just be in love forever, and that did not happen. They were on vacation with the best view and best things to talk about and it was completely awkward on that boat ride for about 25-30 minutes... thank goodness a dolphin came up for one of them to say anything at all. She was angry he was not showing her love, and he seemed like he was done with his vacation vibe and wen

Casino First Timer

 As I sit here, watching sports, wishing I was making some +10000 parlay and make it big and retire at a young age, I think about the first time I went to the casino. I went to a glorious casino in Connecticut called Foxwoods where I walk in being the big spender I am... I brought $300 for a 2 night event. There's 2 ways it could go leaving the casino after the trip; either walking out with so much money in my wallet that I couldn't close it, or, drive home hoping I have enough gas to make it home hoping I have enough food in the fridge for the week. But that first night, oh that first night was a MOVIE! And when I mean movie, I mean going from 300 to 450 so making a remarkable 150 that night. I walk into the place and I was looking like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory just being in awe of everything and trying to soak it in. The bright lights, the cheers, the smell if cigarettes, feels like I was Daniel Jones in the great Metlife Stadium. I was hitting in all ends that night
