Is the sports dead zone, part 1 coming to a close? Perhaps not just yet, but you wouldn’t know by what has taken place over the past few days. I appreciate you stopping by to digest it all as the latest podcast has arrived. On deck:
(6:38) Have you ever seen the plight of an organization fizzle out faster than the Dallas Mavericks? There’s so much to unpack from the owner, the GM, the coach, the team and most importantly, the fans. I’ll have a full assessment of what has taken place and what may lie ahead for the franchise. What does this mean for the Phoenix Suns? They’re currently a couple of games behind Dallas for the 10th spot in the West. Will the recent spat between Kevin Durant & Coach Mike Budenholzer propel them to turn their season around? As for the rest of the Association, SGA scores 51 to add to his MVP case. James Harden scores 50 at the age of 35. Two Celtics score 40 in the same game. It’s the first time that’s happened in Celtic history. Giannis reaches 20K points in his career. And LeBron James has scored 50K combined (regular season & postseason). Is that a significant record? I’ll peep the latest of both conferences when it comes to playoff positioning.
(38:37) College basketball will conclude its regular season on Sunday. Top ranked team in the nation Auburn loses to Texas A&M. Does that mean they’ll lose the #1 seed? Tennessee goes down to Ole Miss as the SEC continue to cannibalize one another. Will St. John’s get to a regional one seed? So much to still unfold as the tournament is two weeks from today.
(42:23) The NHL trade deadline is tomorrow at 3pm. There hasn’t been much activity when it comes to transactions. I have one team that NEEDS to make a move if they want to make a run in the playoffs. Alex Ovechkin is now ten goals away from breaking Wayne Gretzky’s record for most goals in league history. I’ll see where we’re at when it comes the latest in the playoff picture as things heat up on the ice.
(54:25) MLB fans! Three weeks from today, another season arrives. Two significant players on last year’s Mets team have signed with other clubs. (Jose Iglesias to SD & Jose Quintana to MIL) Could either one, or both, have made their way back to Queens? And Jose Altuve is going to play left field for the Astros? How will that go?
(59:41) A new NFL season is on the horizon. That’s right. Not as far as games being played, but open for business for transactions to take place. There have been players released (Darius Slay, Davante Adams, to name a couple) players asking to be traded (DK Metcalf) players signing with their teams (Saquon Barkley, Maxx Crosby, et. al.) And All-Pro guard Joe Thuney was traded to the Bears. Why was it smart for the Chiefs to trade an offensive lineman after watching Patrick Mahomes run for his life in Super Bowl LIV last month.
