 We only get to talk about one NBA game today with the play in game. Nothing is more fun than a win or a home game. Especially with the NBA playoffs being on the line in this one. Either you continue to play or you go home it’s that simple. The Pacers dominated the Hornets in their 9th seed vs 10th seed matchup. Sabonis had the 21 PTS 14 REB double/double we betted on. Oshae Brissett who’s been great for the Pacers down the stretch had 23 PTS. The Pacers looked really good against the young Hornets. They had Charlotte quitting at halftime. Which led to the 144-117 win for the Pacers. The Pacers will head to Washington DC to play the 7th seed vs 8th seed loser Wizards. Personally was very high on the Wizards to beat the Celtics but they fell short. Behind Jayson Tatum’s 50 PTS, Westbrook’s poor shooting, Beal’s hamstring which restricted him late. The Wizards lost the Celtics 118-110 giving the Celtics the seventh seed and a date with the Nets. Now the Wizards and Pacers fight it out for the last spot in the Eastern Conference Playoffs, and a trip to Philly in the first round. We are going with the over here because both teams are very bad defensively. Washington was last in opponents PPG and the Pacers were 25th in opponents PPG. Not a whole lot of defense here. The Wizards swept the Pacers in the regular season 3-0. Washington averaged 139.7 PPG against the Pacers that’s the most points the Pacers allowed to any team. That’s the most Wizards scored against any team by nearly ten points. Westbrook also plays out of his mind against the Pacers. In three games he averages a triple double with 27.3 PPG, 18 RPG, and 20 APG. Yes you read all those crazy stats correctly. Westbrook contributes to 54% of the points when playing the Pacers in 2021. He’s recorded a triple double every game against the Pacers breaking the record he has against a certain team. Westbrook will ball tonight once again. Remember matchup matters in the league. The Pacers are the best matchup for Wizards. Indiana plays really fast. They were second in fast break points. The Wizards style is playing fast. They were the fourth best team at defending the fast break. Westbrook is all go. With Beal the Pacers have matchup problems on the run which is their style. Beal had a bad hamstring against the Celtics. He’s feeling better today. Remember Beal averaged 31.3 PPG. Beal was runner up for the scoring title. He scored 50 last time he played the Pacers. Beal will ball today and that’ll be important for the Wizards. He played above par last time out which showed making Westbrook take shots he shouldn’t down the stretch. The Wizards lost to a Celtics team that a career bought from Tatum. Sabonis could have a good night but he won’t be scoring 50. Bet Wizards to take the win, expect Westbrook to play way better, and Beal to ball. The Wizards will play the 76ers in the first round.

The Current State of the UFC Heavyweight Division

  The Current State of the UFC Heavyweight Division  We are about a week since UFC 260 when Francis Ngannou shook up the world. At UFC 260 Francis Ngannou showed off some new ability and his generational power to take home the title world baddest man and the UFC Heavyweight Championship away from Stipe Miocic. The headliner at UFC 260 was the greatest UFC Heavyweight of all time Stipe Miocic defending his title for a second time against The Predator Francis Ngannou. Miocic dominated the first fight with constant takedown pursuit against the non existing takedown defense of Ngannou. Some thought the same would happen, others believed Ngannou power was going to pull through on this occasion. No one really knew if Ngannou improved his cardio and grappling since him and the champ last met. Ngannou got another title shot by knocking out all his opponents in less than a minute except for Derrick Lewis. Which was a snooze fest that Lewis pulled out. Nonetheless Ngannou didn’t have to...

Goat Talk’s AFC 2021 Predictions

  Goat Talk’s AFC 2021 Predictions     Finally we the public have made the journey to the time of year we all really have been waiting for. We finally won't have a Sunday without football until February. Yes we will have preseason games starting next Sunday. So that means one thing: it's time for predictions. These are not my final picks however. These are my picks before the preseason starts. My final picks will come out in the week before the Cowboys and defending Super Bowl Champions Buccaneers go head to head to start the season on September 9th. Not that my picks will change drastically or anything more like a safety net. Every year one major player is usually hurt for a significant amount of time or traded somewhere else before the season. We are factoring that in this time around. However the picks will mostly stay the same barring anything drastic happening. We will start first in the AFC today and get to NFC on Friday. For the ones that hate reading we will ...

World Series Preview

World Series Preview Well we have finally made it baseball fans. The day we have all been waiting for; we have gone through regular and postseason. 14 teams have been eliminated from both the AL, and 14 from the NL. That leaves us with just 2 teams left in the fall classic. The Astros and Dodgers will go at it in Game 1 of the World Series tonight in Los Angeles at 8:09 EST. This 7 game series is high anticipated as both teams had different paths to the promise land. The NL representatives Los Angeles Dodgers have been nothing but dominate this postseason; only losing 1 game this postseason. Also a dominant regular season posting a 104-58 record, best in the MLB. After constant speculation over the past few years on how the Dodgers couldn’t get it done; with such great teams. However the bats and pitching have come alive this postseason for manager Dave Roberts Dodgers. Yes we finally get to see Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers play in the World Series. First ti...
