There’s a kill-or-be-killed, lose-and-you’re-gone shootout in the NBA’s wild Western Conference. The defending champions Denver Nuggets have been dragged into a mad and messy maulfest by a disrespecting young team from the Minnesota Timberwolves, with their 2nd round playoff series heading for a climactic Game 7.
So there you have it. I’ve got the newbies OKC Thunder and the Minnesota Twolves surviving the Western wars, while the Boston Celtics and the New York Knicks step forward for the Eastern front. It will be the changing of the guards, with only the Celtics joining the fab 4 coming from the traditional powers. Who you got?
Who moves up to the next round? Who goes deep into the postseason wars? Compare your picks with mine. You willing to bet your mother-in-law on this? 🙂
The Caitlyn Clark saga continues. She hit a temporary speedbump last week when the Iowa Hawkeyes lost to the powerhouse South Carolina Gamecocks in the Women’s NCAA championship game 87-75. And with nothing much to prove in the college game, Caitlyn will now strut her wares in the WNBA.
A new era for women’s basketball is upon us. Barring any injuries, minus some haters in the WNBA and other unforeseen circumstances, Caitlin Clark could change the game of women’s basketball in the way the dynamic duo of Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, or the majestic solo air show of Michael Jordan, has done for the NBA. Changing the game, putting women’s basketball on a platform that has never been available before. We wonder what’s in store for the league with Caitlin joining them.
