It has been another disappointing season for the Philadelphia 76ers. The Clippers are without their superstar Kawhi Leonard, do they have a chance against the Suns? LeBron James voices his concerns about the correlation of injuries this year & the lack of rest for NBA players. The NBA  competition committee is cracking down on players with unnatural shooting motions, leaning to the ' side 'or ' backwards ' in order to draw fouls. Head Coach of the Clippers Tyronn Lue reminds us that its important to focus on whats in front of you. 

****I do not own rights to the Tyronn Lue sound. It can be found on Youtube on Ngoc Xuan Nhi's account.*****

I expected the NBA Playoff action on the court to be exciting..what IDID NOT see coming was the activity of the fans. With the rise and awareness towards the importance of mental health, should athletes have to speak to the media? Anthony Davis is out for Game 5 tonight? Do the Lakers stand a chance? Ben Simmons struggled from the the free throw line late in game 4, does this prove that a jumpshot is a necessity? The WNBA's Sabrina Ionescu reminds us of the importance of seeing yourself in victory. S/o to my boy Bryan Morrison for hopping on with me

Leave it to Jayson Tatum to drop 50 on the Wizards to secure the 7th seed. This past NBA regular season was year like no other, what made it stand out? Who is your MVP for the season, I got mine! Theres always a sleeper team entering into the NBA playoffs. I got one per each conference. I put a different spin on Crunch Time today, and titled " Which would be the bigger story? " I got conference finals and NBA Finals picks for you...How do we manage the tough circumstances in life??? There are advantages to learning how to move on.  Most importantly, I got my guy Kyle Lloyd on the line breaking it all down with me. Tune in!!!!!!

Its May!! Yes! Playoff basketball is just 8 days away! Russel Westbrook passes the Big O for the record on the most triple doubles in a season. Many different things can be gleaned from the life of Blazers forward, Carmelo Anthony. NCAA President Mark Emmert is pushing board leaders to approve new plan in regards to the Name, Image & Likeness(NIL) debate. Former NBA Champion, Kendrick Perkins had an interesting take on NBA Championships vs NFL Superbowls....Sometimes we can get caught up on trying to name what chapter we are in life, when really, if we just read the story and live out the season, we'll find the title in the midst of it. I got my guy Tre Smith on the line with me breaking it all down 

Both AD and LeBron are back on the floor together! I am highly concerned about Brad Stevens and head coach Brad Stevens going into the playoffs. Why isn't Steph Curry's name mentioned more frequently in the MVP conversations this year? The great " Dr. J " Julius Erving had a few thoughts on why he doesn't consider LeBron an all time great player. Limitations that we place on other people or ourselves can be more detrimental than we think..

So you mean to tell me both Russel Westbrook AND Kevin Durant have their eyes set on other goals apart from championships. Is the Brooklyn Nets Roster overloaded? What does Denver's future look like without their star point guard Jamal Murray. Do the Lakers have enough to make it back to the Western Conf. Finals? Theres's always something to take from every experience in life...the real question is what will you do with yours????

Things just aren't good for the Los Angeles Lakers right now. Draymond Green had a few things to share last weeks on changes that need to happen in the NBA culture. The NBA Trade Deadline is less than 30 days away, what teams need to make a move before the deadline...and when each individual does their part, it allows a group of individuals to function as a unit, a team, a family.....one body. 

The NBA has decide to have an All Star Game February 7th. We are now a quarter through the first part of the NBA Season...Who is your MVP so far? Whats the real problem with the Brooklyn Nets? Shaq and Charles had a few thoughts on Donovan Mitchell and where he ranks among current players. Many question is wealth is a bad thing, but I believe its much deeper than just money. My brother Josh Collins is on the line with me breaking it all down!

Basketball is back!!!!The NBA Season kicks-off tomorrow at 7pm EST. Kyrie Irving is already back in the head lines before the regular season has even started. What teams made smart moves in the off season? Where should James Harden want to play and in the midst of a season where we are all distancing and maybe have less person to person contact, lets us not forget the power communication. We are stronger together! 

Much respect for the NBA in finding a way to complete the 2019-2020 NBA season. Congratulations to the Los Angeles Lakers in earning their 17th championship. When should the NBA season restart? New Faces and new coaches on many different teams around the league. Beliefs are great, but actions bring fourth results..so get to work!!!

Looking ahead to game 5, there is a very tough challenge in front of the Miami Heat!! The Philadelphia 76ers hired Doc Rivers as there next head coach. Between Embiid & Simmons who will flourish more under his coaching? Kyrie Irving shared a few comments last week on Kevin Durant's podcast, whom he views as one of his most "clutch teammates". Is he right?!?!? Top 3 points both Lakers and Heat need to do if they want to win. Trials are you're training ground for the future!  Make trials/tough times work for you. My uncle, Paul Bennett who joined me said it best, " If I'm not winning, Im learning"

As I look at Doc Rivers leaving LA, we have to remember its a business. What are the top 3 keys for both the Lakers and Heat if they want to win the finals? You have time today, so maximize it!

All Teams have played their 1st playoff game! Special day today as me and my guy Gary Jackson break down the action so far!....Learn to take things one day at a time!
