Breaking down the futures of Frank Ntilikina and Kevin Knox, the performance of this regime so far, the 2021 NBA Draft, who’s likely to be traded, Thibs’ nature as a head coach, and the team approaching the dreaded “P-Word” and what it means for them
Hey there! It is time for Part Two of this here “FAQ-ish” series!
So far, the New York Knicks are still deep in the playoff hunt with a .500 record at 22–22. They are currently positioned in the 6th seed but this wacky NBA season can easily knock them to fourth place or tenth place depending on the performance of other teams in the Eastern Conference. Things are looking up for the Knicks but the team is in no position to rest on their laurels. They still have a tough schedule ahead and fans have many questions about this team.

Breaking down my thoughts on Julius Randle’s rise to All Star athlete, the young rookies Immanuel Quickley and Obi Toppin, the team’s future, and why they should make a push for the playoffs

Greetings folks!
My apologies for the lack of writing content these past few months. If you follow me on social media you know that my health was in serious decline and I needed to take a break and get treatment. I am all better now! I’m ready to wear my Michael Jordan “45” jersey and get back to it.
Well…
An All Star event took place and yet it didn’t feel like an All Star event
So last night was the 2021 NBA All Stars. Yeah it was an event.
That was pretty much my reaction during the entire time watching the NBA All Star event. It was not god-awful. It was not great. It was just an exhibition game. That was it. Nothing more, nothing less.
Team LeBron won against Team Durant 170–150. Giannis Antetokuounmpo was declared the All Star MVP. Viewers themselves did not seem like they were having fun watching the game. Nothing exciting or interesting happened despite the NBA on TNT’s best attempts to “hype up the event.” The Dunk Contest was…
Despite being a weak draft class the Knicks can make use of the picks they have to better benefit the team
*(ED’s NOTE: This article was written before the Knicks traded up with the Utah Jazz for the 23rd pick. Keep in mind, while the opinion still stands on the prospects I’ve watched things are always subject to change.)
It is finally the NBA Draft!
Basketball hasn’t been gone for too long. The NBA Finals was a month ago and since then it has been relatively quiet with noises here and there such as teams doing their due diligence on the draft prospects, determining when the 2020–2021 NBA season should start, when the trade period should open, and how soon can…
Experience of launch consoles has taught me important lessons of waiting and seeing what happens before purchasing
This week both the Microsoft Xbox Series X and the Sony PlayStation 5 consoles will be released to the world. After much anticipation and intrigue as to what the next generation of consoles will bring to the fold, the public can learn those answers themselves. Everybody is extremely hyped for this week.
Well…everybody except me I guess.
As the old guy who has been playing video games since the age of three, I’ve learned that it is important to wait and see before rushing to buy a brand new video game console. It doesn’t mean that I will never purchase…
Quarterback prospects like Daniel Jones, Sam Darnold, and Dwayne Haskins are struggling mainly due to a common flaw that is noticeable but often ignored
Daniel Jones, Sam Darnold, and Dwayne Haskins are all having poor seasons.
This is not a good look for young quarterbacks who are designated to carry their franchises going forward. If they cannot display any semblance of promise or growth then their organizations are going to have big problems down the road. The quarterback is the most important position on a football team. They are the ones who teams are supposed to rally behind and elevate the offense whenever they are on the field. The best quarterbacks are the ones who not only know the ins and outs of the…
The unexpected matchup between the Heat and Lakers makes for an interesting Finals showcase in an interesting Finals scenario
It’s finally here!
The 2020 NBA Finals is set to premiere tonight at 9PM in the Orlando Bubble! Credit to the league for doing everything possible to ensure the safety of the players and getting to this point without any setbacks. As I mentioned before, I can be the first to admit that I was wrong on the matter. My concerns were valid but luckily nothing became awry since the NBA restart.
So now we can concentrate on the most exciting basketball game of the year.
The controversy surrounding Nintendo’s decision to make Super Mario 3D All Stars a limited exclusive for both digital and physical releases has me concerned on how they view the consumer and what it could potentially mean for the gaming industry
Super Mario 3D All Stars finally releases today to much fanfare from gamers everywhere. It’s Mario so you know it’s going to be good. I mean that’s a given. Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy were the premiere 3D platformers of their time with Mario 64 kicking off the era of 3D gaming while Sunshine and Galaxy found unique ways to expand on said 3D gaming formula. I played these games when they initially came out and would like to soon have a copy and play these games again for my amusement.
One problem: I don’t…
One of the Conference Finals is here while the other is still developing so let’s break down the scenarios of the remaining teams
Hello!
It’s been a while. I couldn’t get the chance to do one of these last time due to an important prior engagement but I’m free now we can continue to discuss the NBA Playoffs in the Orlando Bubble.
Last time I did a proper analysis we were on the precipice of the Conference Semifinals. A lot has happened since then and we are now entering the Conference Finals (for three of these teams anyway). It’s been a strange road to get here. The teams I initially thought were pretenders (Denver Nuggets) turned out to be more talented than I…
With all major sporting events happening right now what does this mean for the resurgence of the fight for civil rights in America?
I changed and rewrote this opinion piece several times. Initially I wanted to put this article out as far back as July when we were underway with the return of sports in the United States. I initially wanted to dissect on how things have changed since the mass resurgence of the Black Lives Matter Movement. I wanted to analyze and give a perspective on how each of the major sports leagues in America have handled the responses and if they were serious about keeping the masses informed on what’s going on and if there’s any major changes in the approach…
