Basically two brutal basketball games which were unwatchable.
I’m a fan of the play-in concept though. Tom Brady just won his 7th Super Bowl basically as a wild card entry.
The UCLA Bruins just a month ago came within a play of advancing to Monday Night as a play-in team.
The 2019 Washington Nationals won the World Series as a play-in team.
But these two games literally sucked. No defense, no emotion from either the Wizards or the Hornets. Nothing…except it made it very easy for me to switch over to the two excellent NHL games which were a complete polar opposite of the bullshit on TNT.
Hopefully…we’ll see something from these four teams in the West which would validate Adam Silver’s decision to go this route.
I mean….NBA fans go through an entire season of tanking to then think they’re going to finally see real competition at this point….. and the Wizards and Hornets gave the basketball world…nothing. As in nothing except for Jayson Tatum scoring 50 points against a Wizards’ team which plays defense like five pylons.
Bad Little Dude…I don’t what else to write.
The next superstar of the NHL…Nathan MacKinnon plays tonight for the Colorado Avanlanche versus the St. Louis Blues.
Show me something Steph…show me something to keep me watching an NBA play-in game.
Look at these hockey fans in Denver. Denver was one of the most heavily locked down cities during COVID…yet look at their passion. I’m so glad this is where my son, Elaine, Aubrey, and the ‘Wild One’ live. Not only the Avalanche, but the perennial DI power Denver Pioneers play within five minutes from where Chris and soon to be two way defenseman Little Robert Jackson reside.
The mens league Chris plays in is just incredible. Too many players and teams if anything. It’s a hockey town and a Denver Broncos town. The Broncos need a QB, the Avalanche have the next superstar in the NHL as their QB…just saying.
Nathan MacKinnon…the next Sid and Ovechkin. Nate needs his goalie to step up his game though if he wants to hoist a Cup this season.
