Kyrie Irving Doesn't Fit

The Boston Celtics were the favorite to represent the Eastern Confrence this season in the NBA Finals, now they find theirself down 3-1 in the 2nd round of the NBA playoffs. After a dominating game one in which they beat the Bucks by 20 points, they haven't won a game since. The Bucks have totally dominated the Celtics ever since game one and it looks like they will eliminate the favorite Boston Celtics... what happened?

Kyrie happened. Is he the only reason why they are under preforming? No. But last year this same Celtics team went to the Eastern Confrence Finals without him and now all of a sundden they are the most inconsistent team in basketball. The Celtics thought Kyrie would fit perfect with this young team with players such as Jayson Tatum and Jaylon Brown, but it hasn't and it seems like the young guys aren't fans of Kyrie either.


Kyrie likes to play iso ball, and play on his own at times, while this Celtics team is full of players who like to distribute the basketball and feed off of each other. Kyrie doesn't play that way, and the Celtics should look to move on from Kyrie. He is a top player in this league, but the Celtics could look to find a new point guard once FA hits.

Madness Follow Up

Well, its all over. The tables and chairs have been collected, the dance is over. This dance did not end with a slow song. The University of Virginia has made history in the tournament two years in a row, for two different reasons. You may remember last years tournament when the number one overall team, the University of Virginia, became the first team in tournament history to lose in the first round to a 16 seed. This year, Virginia entered the tournament with similar accolades and was once again the number one team in the land. This year, they flipped the switch and took it all the way playing the "cinderella" Texas Tech in the finals. Cinderella was by no means, easy. Texas Tech regained the lead with minutes left until a Kyle Guy clutch 3 point shot put the biggest game of the year in overtime. Virginia regained control of the game and became national champions for the first time. In what started off as the most predictable tournament in years, so predictable that someo

Will Hailie Deegan Be NASCAR's First Female Winner? Many casual sports fans or people not familiar with NASCAR may think Danica Patrick was the first female racer. She was far from the first female to compete in the Cup Series, but she built a following, had more popularity, and had a larger sponsorship than any previous female driver. Now that Patrick is retired, who will be the next female racing star? One name is making headlines in the lower divisions, Hailie Deegan. Daughter of X-Games and Motocross legend Brian Deegan, Hailie is a 17-year-old racer from Temecula, California. She grew up racing on dirt and in off road trucks, but since 2016 has been pavement racing, with aspirations of making it to the top levels of NASCAR. In 2018, Deegan raced for Rookie of the Year honors in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West. The K&N Pro Series is a NASCAR developmental series split into the East and West divisions, where teenagers race on short tracks and road courses aroun

Is Kyle Busch One of NASCAR's Best Ever?

Image
One of the most controversial and polarizing drivers in NASCAR history, Kyle Busch has certainly made his mark in the world of stock car racing. Busch is a driver who every fan either loves or loathes, due to his brash attitude and his winning record. As he closes in on 200 NASCAR National Series wins across all 3 series, is it right to consider him one of NASCAR's all-time greatest talents? As of the time I am writing this (March 5, 2019) Kyle Busch is 33 years old, and has 197 wins across all 3 NASCAR National touring series. Broken down, Busch currently has 53 Truck Series wins, 93 Xfinity Series wins, and 51 victories in the premier division Cup Series.  Busch's win totals in both Trucks and Xfinity competiton are the all-time win records for each of those series. But where Busch's lower-seris domination is truly evident is in his winning percentage.  Kyle has 53 Truck wins in 147 starts, or a 36% winning percentage. The next winningest Truck Series racer, Ron
