“there are very few upsets in March”
Eat your words pal!
In March, madness reigns supreme
Simmons without Embiid on the floor is only barely positive, his lack of a credible jump shot will hinder his long term stardom in the NBA unless he develops a jumpshot.
I would suggest he is rookie of the year, only just based on his defensive presence. It really will be whoever finishes the last 15 games better.
Where does Ben Simmons rank among the NBA's recent rookies of the year?
Very interesting situation. I don’t think he’ll play much, but he’s excellent play off insurance as a ball handler and if someone’s getting killed defensively you just stick him in.
With Dante Exum set to return, how will the Jazz reintegrate him into their surging system?
Along that same vein, see V8 supercars expanded their esports foot print. I expect Indy car to get involved in esports and F1 to dramatically step up their Formula 1 efforts.
F1 vs IndyCar: What makes a great race?
Probably, probably except some places like memphis and Sacramento aren’t free agent destinations. You’re right the culture in those locations is abhorrent.
The problem with tanking in the NBA
I’ll take a read, the article is 5 years old, still relevant?
The problem with tanking in the NBA
I’d have to sit down and look at the numbers but an instant counter to your case is James Harden. Honourable mentions to DeRozan and Irving.
Check your watches: Lillard has been the NBA’s best guard in 2018
You’re so negative all the time bloke, try and enjoy life occasionally.
1. There is usually 2-3 upsets each tournament. It’s all relative however considering how the seeding is carried out.
2. Lonzo Ball isn’t actually a loud mouth, he doesn’t say a whole lot and doesn’t say the right things but his father is the loud mouth.
3. For the foreseeable future, college basketball will be confined to basketball fans, I don’t think it has any mainstream appeal.
4. To call march madness a farce is completely illogical.
March madness is great, pick a good team and follow along. Enjoy the ride. I’m going with Virginia.
In March, madness reigns supreme
At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter, invest in esports is on the rise, viewing numbers are rising and traditional sports should be worried.
Rugby. Cricket. Esports. Why esports are sports
I skim read however I’m convinced LBJ signs a 1 and 1 in Cleveland.
Why LeBron is going to stay in Cleveland
Great read. The rebels were my pick before the season!
Five things we learned from Brumbies vs Rebels
I guess this might be un-Australian to say but I want both teams to shut up and play cricket.
Woe to the vanquished
The Mavs have a way out. Getting Dirk off the books. Re-tooling the rotation. Dennis Smith’s future development and luring a free agent.
Professional and irrelevant: Mavericks mired in mediocrity with no clear way out
I’m huge on Ball, very high upside. Wayyyy to early to tell, don’t let a mid-season up tick on a horrendous team fool you into thinking he’s out the other side and trending upwards, there is always, invariably a regression to the mean – What Lonzo Ball’s mean is – Is not yet known.
In his favour he shot 40+% from three in college, perhaps there is some evidence there.
His defence is real, he’s long, reasonably athletic without being a freak.
Jury is still out however I’m big on Lonzo.
Lonzo Ball: The bust that never was
I used to go watch Breakers and United games at the old Birmingham Gardens.
Absolutely devastated to see Naboot leave for greener pastures. Cash them cheques young fella!
Fly-bys, roll-arounds and Newcastle passion
I would have loved have written about it 3 days ago negative Paul however I have a life and I was waiting for the 5th day to post it up, you know when all the crowds have filtered through the turnstiles.
The issue is South African test matches don’t draw crowds.
Cut me some slack anyways negative Paul, I’m just trying to do my thing.
Thanks negative Paul.
Where are Test cricket's fans?
Fair call, it’s still interesting to write about and explore!
Where are Test cricket's fans?
You’re probably right, Australia and England are all that’s left.
WIth regard to Shield crowds, I was being a tad cheeky.
Where are Test cricket's fans?
Fair points Paul. My rebuttal would be that Faf, AB De Villierand De Kock all overcame injuries.
Faf
Amla
Bavuma
De Villiers
Elgar
De Kock
Philander at 7
Is that terrible?
Australia head to South Africa for the ultimate Test series
You’re absolutely right Shree – I didn look up the ICC rankings via google, it has India in a purple font, so I kind of thought it was just the heading, you’re right, it wasn’t intentional and i’ll have it rectified!

Here here Tommy.
Nothing will please the angry cricket mob
