He’s trying to find his way back from an elbow issue. Kodai Senga had a setback. Last week it was mechanics. This week it’s a setback. David Fletcher, welcome to the Mizuhara club.

Today’s word of the day is ’home court disadvantage’ as in Game 7 as in NBA Playoffs as in Pacers as in Knicks as in Timberwolves as in Nuggets. The Pacers crushed the Knicks to advance. Shooting a record percentage from the field. Knicks had no response. And I was there to witness it. The Denver Nuggets blew it. 20 point lead at home in a Game 7 and they lost to the Timberwolves. Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert did it. Nikola Jokic and the reigning champs went home. The Dallas Mavericks advanced on free throws! What a wild ending vs the Thunder.

Today’s word of the day is ’addicted’ as in my phone as in as in 3am chat room conversations with Apple. Alright, time to get to the NFL. We had schedule releases, but first let’s chat about Harrison Butker again. The NFL commented on his thoughts. What was interesting about the schedule? Who runs primetime?

Today’s word of the day is ’prowl’ as in on the prowl as in Nuggets as in the Knicks as in playoff basketball. Nikola Jokic is incredible. He dominated the DPOY in Rudy Gobert. Rudy Gobert also had to pay a big fine for doing the money gesture at the refs! Knicks fever! Get excited! One win away from a conference finals! Caitlin Clark debuted in the WNBA. It was a shaky start for sure. 10 turnovers. Fever lost by 21 points. NPPOD. Are the Jaguars moving to London? Nope! Another new stadium deal! Review: Last Stop in Yuma County.

Today’s word of the day is ’greedy’ as in the NFL as in schedule release as in kickoff games as in networks as in Tom Brady as in Patrick Mahomes. The NFL continues to just win every offseason. It’s ridiculous! LeBron James was wining it up at the Cavaliers playoff game last night. But it’s time to talk about Bronny James. Is he worth a draft pick? He was cleared medically by the NBA. The Boston Celtics took a 3-1 series lead over the Cavaliers. No Donovan Mitchell, no matter. What about the Mavericks blowing a late home lead against the Thunder? Hit your free throws! WNBA season is here. The Caitlin Clark era is here! Review: Rather. So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about which teams will be buyers and who will be sellers. This early!?

Today’s word of the day is ’debut’ as in first career start as in Paul Skenes as in the Pittsburgh Pirates as in top prospects. Skenes made his first start against the Cubs and it was insane. One of the worst pitching innings in baseball happened after Skenes was removed. Kodai Senga injury update! The Yankees are heating up. Aaron Judge is heating up. Panic down. Seth Lugo is performing at an elite level for the Royals. Who saw that coming? The Knicks lost both road games to the Pacers. The Pacers blew them out the water in Game 4. Woof! The Denver Nuggets have tied up the series vs the Minnesota Timberwolves. Can not count them out! Review: Love Lies Bleeding. The Suns have hired Mike Budenholzer to a huge contract. Another giant contract given away by Mat Ishbia. Why is he doing this? Did anyone know the NBA draft lottery was yesterday? Atlanta Hawks are the draft lottery winners! A 3% chance and they did it!
