All Star voting is officially open as of Christmastime and it is your civic and patriotic duty as a New Zealander to submit those cheeky ballots for Steven Adams as often as humanly possible… which is once per day (per email addy) across three different avenues.
Well, this is it my friend. We’ve stomped and spun our way to the last round of the regular season, with sixteen more games to decide once and for all which twelve teams get to continue into the real stuff. Sixteen games of which a handful have some incredibly massive repercussions to them while the rest are basically just for pride and giggles.
Great news! We’re done with Thursday night games! And because the college football season is over (didn’t even know it’d started), that means these Sunday arvo games are now a regular thing. Gives me more time to write the ol’ predictions, so no worries on this end.
As Stevie grabbed his 16th rebound early in the third the question became whether he could surpass his career best of 20 against Washington in January 2015. Been a long time waiting to crack that egg… but when he did he got there with time remaining in the third quarter.
We’re almost there, folks. Three more weeks of the National Football League for 2018 and then we’re into the playoffs. Before we get there however we’ve got some very important details to finalise, like playoff seedings and sacked coaches, and these things take time to materialise.
But just quietly Steven Adams has scored 20+ in four of his last five games. He has seven games with 20+ this season having done that only 20 previous times in his first five years in the league. Dude is becoming an every game scoring options and it’s amazing to watch.
In their defence, the Breakers did play some defence on Sunday. For the first time all season they kept a team under 80 points, giving the Sydney Kings some real hiccups as everybody not named Andrew Bogut shot 18 of 52 for 34.6% from the field.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is what a 99-yard rushing touchdown looks like. The longest possible play from scrimmage. Derrick Henry, you cheeky geezer.
All of which has led us to this point and it’s a confusing crossroads as far as Sean Marks’ next move is concerned. All this forward momentum, even in the darkest times, but now they’re facing a bit of uncomfortable stasis.
Against Blake Griffin, Andre Drummond and the Piston lads he clearly decided it was time to unleash the beast and, as is always the case with Steve, it all started on the defensive end…
The sense cannot be made. This has been a solid Cowboys defence all season but they hadn’t done anything like this before. Nobody had, the Saints had only twice been kept under 30 points in 2018 and never under 20… let alone with just ten.
