Chicago Bulls vs Charlotte Hornets

My family night!

The long anticipated opening day of NBA basketball was finally happening! I was so excited for my family to be out and about and to most importantly have fun!

Compared to last year.

We arrived to the game early to cut down on our rushing. We have a 1 year old now and that alone was the huge difference from last year. Anyone that has kids knows that they can be completely unpredictable! My beautiful wife and I decided to enjoy ourselves by buying some expensive stadium food lol. It made us feel good for the moment and we couldn’t resist. We also received free popcorn on our way out!

Thank you for that 😊

As far as the game:

The game’s atmosphere was dry. How dry was it? It was so dry that I could hear people on the other side of the stadium conversations.

For an opening night game it felt like a mid-season game in January. Internalizing the crowds dryness alone had me believing that fans don’t care to much about the hornets. Or they are like myself and know deep down that Charlotte isn very good.

Check out the opening tip off.

My son voice is all over this video lol👇🏽

We left in the middle of third quarter because my son was acting up. But it was fine because as a family we were exhausted and couldn’t wait to get home.

Next time I’ll go by myself🤫

October 19, 2019October 19, 2019bballscholar

What would be a successful season for the Chicago Bulls?

For me , the Chicago Bulls would have to win at least 35 games. Realistically I just want them to take another leap together. This year the bulls drafted a young PG in Colby White and he looked really good in the preseason. Hopefully he can hold down the position and get the offense running right!

I am a bulls fan and I make that no secret and I’ve been that way since day 1, thanks to my dad of course 😇.

My outlook towards this season is somewhat hopeful. I feel like East is wide open and waiting for a hungry team to surprise the league. It’ll be a long shot but this season could similar to how the Brooklyn Nets did last year.

Sleeper Team:

I am not saying the Chicago Bulls will make the playoffs or anything. But am I wrong to think that this team will be competing for more stakes sooner than expected.

Danilo Gallinari – Championship Rental

October 14, 2019October 14, 2019bballscholar

Danilo Gallinari can easily be a third option or fourth option coming off the bench on a title contending team. What you think?

Alright let me tell you his role, he can come off the bench and help any team score at least 17p+. That’ll be important for the playoffs. As of now he’s a starting F for the Oklahoma City Thunder. I expect the thunder to trade him around the trade deadline if they’re not doing that well.

For half a season he will be sought out by many teams that look to make a serious playoff run. At this point in his career he doesn’t need to be on a young rebuilding team.

Danilo Gallinari has been a decent to good player throughout his time in the nba. He does suffer from little injuries here and there but which player doesn’t at this point.

Check out his contract.

The scenario could play out as he will be a free agent after this season. Danilo Gallinari is still chasing that chip.

Prime years –

During his prime he never received any recognition or any accolades. He was constantly battling injuries. But when he was presence on the floor. He definitely produced solid stats every game.

His career stats:

What makes him valuable?

Well first he’s about 6’10 with long arms. He can play out on the wing or in the post. He has the ability to pull up from anywhere on the court. He can be played at different positions. Last year he set a career high in scoring and his overall game has been better. Check out his last years stats. 👇🏽

BIG QUESTION:

Does he stay the whole year with Oklahoma City or does he get traded halfway through?

2019-2020 – My Top 10 MVP Candidates

October 10, 2019October 10, 2019bballscholar

Here is who I believe which players have a real shot at winning MVP for this upcoming season. In order here I go.

1. Anthony Davis (LAL)

PF/C

Why?

This will be his breakout year for the league because of the Lakers aura around him.

2. Giannis Antetokounmpo (MLW)

PF/C

Why?

Was the best player in the league last year until the ECF, I believe he will come back with full vengeance.

3. Nikola Jokic (DEN)

Why?

A walking triple double, which will lead to a lot of victories!

4. Joel Embiid (PHI)

Why?

Has a chance to take over the crown for best player in the east!

5. James Harden (HOU)

SG/PG

Why?

He will be always be in the top 5 in MVP voting. He’s to good!

6. Lebron James (LAL)

Why?

He has something to prove again!

7. Kawhi Leonard (LAC)

SF/PF

Why?

To add to his HOF resume!

8. Damian Lillard (POR)

Why?

The taste of going to the western conference finals could end up the start of his MVP historic season.

9. Kyrie Irving (BKN)

Why?

Prove to the world that he is capable of being that guy! He’s a dark horse in this race.

10. Stephen Curry (GSW)

Why?

Incase you forgot , he’s super motivated.

Honestly:

All 10 of the players that I mention have a great shot at winning MVP.

But who wins it?

Which player do you think I left off that has a chance to win MVP this season?

By The Way:

I left off Paul George due to his previous injury so he’ll be missing some time this season. (Injury-Shoulder)

Stephen Curry vs the league

October 9, 2019October 9, 2019bballscholar

I think Stephen Curry has at least one 60 + point game in him this season. Do you think that’s possible? Who’s ready to see Stephen Curry make it rain from deep? I am ready to see if he can be a top 5 scorer again in the league. For this upcoming season I believe it is absolutely possible he could average damn near 30points per game. The greatest shooter of all time will have no limitations as we’ve seen the last few years . He will be the clear the #1 offense option again. My only concern will coach Steve Kerr put Stephen Curry on a workload minutes restrain? The warriors only concern is making it to the playoffs healthy!

My Bold Prediction:

Stephen Curry will make over 400 3pm this year. He is the only player in NBA history with that record. I believe this year he doubles it up.

Check out his 2015-2016 MVP season: (First and only 400 3pm season)
