Boston & Free Agency

Last night the season came to an end for the Boston Celtics. A first round elimination in 6 games is not the greatest outcome, and for many franchises would be considered a failure. But not all franchises are equal, or in equal position for the future. For example, this summer the Los Angeles Clippers and…

The Smart Bet

For the majority of yesterday’s Celtics/Hawks game (game 4 in the series), Atlanta maintained a lead. Every time Boston would cut the lead down to a basket or two, the Hawks would respond with a run to extend it back to about 10. At the center of everything for Atlanta was their all-star PF, Paul…

Tom’s Timberwolves

Perhaps the pairing of Tom Thibodeau and the Minnesota Timberwolves deserves a fancy new nickname, like: The Thiberwolves…… No?  Ok, my bad. Just trying it on. I’ll put it back on the rack. But seriously, I am excited to hear that Thibs is working out a 5 year deal to be the coach and president…

Reviewing The Peanuts Movie

If I have to name a favorite Christmas movie, and Die Hard is disqualified (though it shouldn’t, it’s totally a Christmas movie), then my answer would probably be A Charlie Brown Christmas. There is just something wholesome about the simplistic yet cleverly philosophical cartoon that I find entirely affable. When I first saw that there…

First Look at Rogue One

The preview for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story released this week. About time, right? I mean there are only 8 months before the movie’s release. Is that even enough time to build up a general interest? (If you aren’t reading the sarcasm, you don’t know me.) Still, the preview is out there so I watched…
