Antetokounmpo’s Monster Double Double Helps Defeat Minnesota (123-114)

The Minnesota Timberwolves are on a losing streak right now and it doesn’t help they had to go to Milwaukee to play a red hot Bucks team. This was going to be a tough task knowing that Rudy Gobert was going to be out and they already are without Karl-Anthony Towns. The Timberwolves did have some great news as they got Kyle Anderson back after missing 5 games.

 

The Bucks came out quickly and were making it a point to get Giannis going as he was able to get anything he wanted in the paint. It didn’t matter who was guarding Giannis tonight because when he’s in attack mode he’s either going to get the foul or an and-1 with the stretch he’s been on. The Timberwolves had built a wall and had multiple defenders on Giannis trying to make it tough on him but it didn’t work. Giannis finished the game with 43 points, 5 assists, and 20 rebounds as he was able to dominate in the paint with no Gobert/Towns in sight. When Giannis has it going like this he makes it tough because Minnesota got caught packing the paint trying to stop him but that left a lot of knock down shooters open in this game. When you give the attention to Giannis it opens up players like Bobby Portis and Joe Ingles chances to get their confidence in the offense like they did tonight. Portis was the second leading scorer with 22 points off the bench as he was able to hit some big shots against the Timberwolves. It was a tough game for the Timberwolves to climb back into but they got it all the way down to 5 points in the 4th showing a lot of heart.

 

Anthony Edwards led the Timberwolves in scoring tonight with 30 points and 10 rebounds. Edwards had a scary fall late in the game that had all of Minnesota holding their breath but he stayed in the game. This team has leaned on Edwards since KAT has been out on the offensive end and he’s answered the call. Edwards was able to score on anyone that the Bucks threw at him tonight and has shown that he’s becoming one of the best players in the NBA. Tonight was just a case of too much of the Greek Freak as he was able to make some MVP type plays and find wide open teammates on breakdowns. The Timberwolves had 6 players in double figures tonight but that wasn’t enough as they needed a little more help. Jaden McDaniels had an off night but the others continued to score at their usual clip as they do nightly. This Timberwolves team hasn’t been able to gel the way people need to see them do with all these injuries and players out. Once this team is back fully healthy we will be able to get their full potential.

 

The Timberwolves will look to end the season on a high note as they take on the Detroit Pistons at home heading into the new year.

Under Armour “What The” Curry Surfaces

Under Armour “What The” Curry Surfaces

An interesting photo has been floating around the internet in what could potentially be a “What The” themed Under Armour Stephen Curry signature sneaker. 

The Photo that surfaced features a singular shoe on display but it has a mixture of some Curry signature sneakers mixed into one. The sneakers featured in the “What The” Curry sneaker are the Curry 1, Curry 2, Curry 4, Curry 6, Curry 8, and the Curry 10. The Midsole/outsole is the curry flow technology that has been featured in the Curry line since the Curry 8. 

While it hasn’t been confirmed if it’s an official “What The” sneaker or if it will be releasing, it is an interesting take on the Curry line since we haven’t seen anything like this from the Under Armour Brand.

With the recent release of the Jordan 1 High “Chicago” AKA “Lost and Found” Jordan Brand is set to release the Air Jordan 2 “Chicago” the last time we seen an iteration of the “Chicago” Air Jordan 2 was in 2010.

Although the Air Jordan 2 isn’t a popular silhouette it’s probably one of the most iconic as Michael Jordan wore the Air Jordan 2 “Chicago” in the 1987 Slam Dunk Contest. The iconic “White/Black-Varsity Red” colorway can be seen through the shoe. A notable feature is that there is no Jumpman on this silhouette; the Jordan Wings logo is on the tongue. 

Releasing on December 30th for a retail price of $220 which will be available in Full-Family sizing. These will be available to purchase at Nike retailers and the Nike SNKRS app

Primetime Preview: Dallas Cowboys Vs Tennessee Titans (TNF Week 17)

Primetime Preview: Dallas Cowboys Vs Tennessee Titans (TNF Week 17)

Featured

by | Dec 29, 2022 | Featured, NFL

It’s time for Week 17 in the NFL and playoff races are getting significantly tighter. The Cowboys are (11-4) trying to make a late push for the number one seed in the NFC. Dak Prescott has his team in the right position to win out but they will need to play the Titans in what could be a trap game. The Titans (7-8) will be without Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry for tonight’s game against the Cowboys. Even if the Titans lose tonight they will have a showdown next week against the Jacksonville Jaguars for the AFC South Division.

 

The Cowboys have been one of the hottest teams in the NFL this season. The season started out shaky when Dak got hurt but since he’s been back the Cowboys have been one of the highest-scoring teams. Dak has been able to get it done with his arm and even his legs. Dak has all his weapons at full strength as CeeDee Lamb, Michael Gallup, and Dalton Schultz will be busy tonight against a generous pass defense in Tennessee. We haven’t even gotten into the two-headed backfield of Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard. Both backs have been helping Dak Prescott as they continue to be the backbone of this offense. Zeke comes with the ground and pound and Pollard comes with the finesse and the receiving game as he can also run routes.

 

 

This Cowboys offense is dangerous and if they continue to get things going like this it can turn into a massive playoff run. The Cowboy’s defense has been swarming as of late as well and that’s because of Micah Parsons who has been playing like the defensive player of the year. This defense has been able to create a lot of turnovers and they will be looking to do that tonight against Malik Willis who’s inexperienced but still has a lot of learning to do. This Cowboys defense will be all over the rookie because they will be without Derrick Henry who’s basically their whole offense.

 

The Titans will try to make the best of the situation with all the injuries. It’s going to be tough for Willis but he will need to lean on Woods and Burks if he’s going to come close to getting a win tonight. The Titans need to just secure the ball and try to keep the Cowboys offense off the ground.

 

 

Score Prediction – Las Vegas Raiders 28, Los Angeles Rams 13

Zion’s Career High 43 Points Too Much For Minnesota Down The Stretch (119-118)

Zion’s Career High 43 Points Too Much For Minnesota Down The Stretch (119-118)

Featured

by | Dec 28, 2022 | Featured, Minnesota Timberwolves, NBA

The Minnesota Timberwolves are coming into this game on a 3 game-losing streak. The Timberwolves were going to be short-handed in this one without Kyle Anderson. Karl-Anthony Towns has been out since they played the Wizards in DC and they definitely need to get the whole team back ASAP.

The Pelicans were down throughout the game as the Timberwolves had their number. It wasn’t until midway through the 4th quarter that this game was really decided. Minnesota was hitting some big shots but just made a couple of turnovers down the stretch. Both Anthony Edwards and D’Angelo Russell scored 27 points each but it wasn’t enough against the Pelicans. Tonight was all about Zion Williamson as he was able to drop a career-high 43 points. Zion was taking it to the Timberwolves and imposed his will on both sides of the ball. Zion was able to score inside and outside as it seemed as though he couldn’t miss at all in the 4th. When Zion gets it going like this he’s unstoppable and he’s one of those players that can change a game overall. The Timberwolves had no answer for Zion down the stretch and that’s pretty much how they lost this one. It was a close one that the Timberwolves had in the bag as they were able to get what they wanted offensively. It was the dominance of Zion that took over and that alone was a tough task to overcome.
