Catch of the Day.
HOOK:
“Monty.”
Monty Williams got fired today for leading a young, coming into their own NBA team to a 45-37 record in the MUCH tougher Western Conference. And I thought Marc Jackson getting fired last year was ridiculous. With a nice YOUNG core of Anthony Davis, Norris Cole, Tyreke Evans, and Omer Asik, the team has a future. I get the first years with a losing record. This project was coming together though, and Monty deserved another year. And don’t tell me getting swept by a team that won SIXTY SEVEN freaking games was a bad thing either. And sorry he looks down his bench and sees people like Luke Babbit, Jeff Withey, and Dante Cunningham. Firing him was a mistake by the numbers, so there better have been something internal about this.
LINE:
“Series.”
As in, that is why the series filter out the week. We didn’t expect the depleted Wizards and Grizzlies to go up 3-1 last night, and they didn’t. Things even out due to skill level, coaching , and health (and a little luck in the Bulls-Cavs series). The Hawks are a better team, and the John Wall injury killed the Wizards. The Bulls are the healthier team with more weapons, and it will take a monumental effort by LeBron to advance his team in this series. The home court advantage has evened it out a little I would say.
And in hockey, my bandwagon Blackhawks get ready to take the Ducks in 6 games only because they don’t have home ice. And they chill out to apparently face the winner of the guaranteed per their mouths Capitals against most like Tampa Bay. The series methodology will give the Cup to the Blackhawks again, barring a goalie catching fire (ALWAYS the wildcard item in the NHL playoffs (yes, YOU, typically Kings)).
SINKER:
“Brady.”
I am past supporting whatever for whatever reasons. Whether I want to talk about vague language in the Wells Report, allegedly faulty pressure gauges for he footballs, the fact the Ray Rice dragged his woman out by her hair from an elevator and got half the games, etc., this thing is a freaking mess. My point of interest is does Brady come clean right now to be transparent with the public and let time heal his legacy for pushing the boundaries, or does he do it the Pats’ typical way and pretend like nothing happened at all and appeal away?
Aside from me noticing that there were actually 9 unsold tickets to the Mayweather fight (and me noticing one was $3500, which I assume is mattress change for rich people), I will save the rest. That is it. Hope you enjoyed or are at least more informed. Will I blog tomorrow? That is a CLOWN question, bro. Peace.
