It was an eventful night in the Big Apple. Starting with ESPN on ABC in The Garden for the Celtics, Knicks game and ending with SNL at 30 Rock. Understaffed yet prepared, the Knicks got ran out of the gym by Jaylen Brown and the Celtics. Today, I provide my thoughts on the game and whether the Celtics have what it takes to win it all. Also, could Shane Gillis restore world peace?

It would have been a miss to not watch the NBA Friday game of the week. Luckily, YouTube TV and the NBA League Pass make this easy to do. If you want to go to bed early on Friday - no worries you can watch Saturday morning. Catching up on the action, why I think the Bucks are more like the Celtics of old and what the Wolves are missing. 

Cleveland…this is for you! I have the Cavs picked as one of my top 2 teams coming out of the East. The 18-2 run had me hype but the 0-2 start after the break has me worried. Only a little bit. Today, my deep dive back into the Cavs, other games in the association, and why I’m becoming a golf fan.

It’s become a great joy of mine to watch Luka play the Suns. Ever since the Great Beatdown of 2022 in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals - this newly born rivalry has been an eye-catcher. We’ve added a few new names and drama to the mix (insert KD and Kyrie) and some of the supporting casts has changed, but you can guarantee its going to be a solid matchup when Luka and Dbook square off. Today, my take on the Suns/Mavs last night, other games played, and what’s trending. 

Today officially marks the second half of the NBA season. “Second half” is a light term in this situation with about 30 games remaining. We’re officially past the all-star break. That means no more forced conversation about three pointers, dunk contests, and where Lebron is going to sign next year. This is the time of year where teams start to lock in and get ready for a playoff run if possible. Below are the teams I like in the East, West and my sleeper pick for each as we narrow in on the best time of the year - the NBA playoffs.
