 Blog I’m critiquing:  https://www.sbnation.com/nba/2023/4/18/23687633/draymond-green-domantas-sabonis-stomp-video-ejection-kings-warriors In game two of Western Conference opening round of the NBA Playoffs between the Sacramento Kings and Golden State Warriors there was an altercation that could change the series. With five minutes left in the fourth quarter the game was close, so close in fact, every call, bucket, foul, and second mattered. While fighting for a rebound Domantas Sabonis would fall down and inadvertently grab Draymond Green’s foot. Green would respond by stomping on his chest, injuring Sabonis, receiving a flagrant two foul and automatic ejection from the game. One thing I liked about this article is they go in depth about why Green might have done what he did and discussing if whether or not Sabonis should receive some flack for grabbing his leg. I also like the idea they brought up of challenging flagrant foul calls and giving there side of the story.

 Blog I’m critiquing:  https://www.sbnation.com/nba/2023/4/18/23687191/austin-reaves-lakers-vs-grizzlies-nba-playoffs-video-im-him Austin Reaves grew up in Cedar Ridge, Arkansas. There he was a star in high school, played well enough to receive a D-1 scholarship offer to Wichita State. He would then transfer to Oklahoma before declaring for the NBA draft. Sadly, Reaves would go undrafted but would later be signed to a free agent deal by the Los Angeles Lakers. Ever since then, Reaves has showed out being a key part to the lakers success averaging 19 points per game when starting and leading there team to a win in the NBA playoffs over the Memphis Grizzlies. One thing I love about this article is how they used “Him” in the title because anyone who watched the game would here Reaves yell this to the fans after hitting a clutch bucket. I also like the phrase finding a gem in the rough because 60 people were chosen over Austin Reaves and probably thirty actually play in this league and out

Living With My Best Friend

A Day In The Life Of Living With My Best Friend Our subject Cole Edwards. First we start our day in the morning with a little bed head. After a quick shower we head off to get some food before class. While Cole is in class some of the boys sneak in a quick cuddle sesh. After Cole gets back he changes into what he wants to wear to practice and gets some swings in while watching some Ex On The Beach. After practice all the guys decide to head to B-Dubs because Cole is going to try the “Blazin’ Challenge”. This is the before the challenge.  This is the during the challenge.  This is the aftermath of the challenge. For those wondering he did “win” the challenge.  Upon the return back to the dorm we play some Retro Bowl (In my hat because he loves taking my stuff).  We then go on one of our patented late night food drives to Sonic (where I received my hat back cause it didn’t match his outfit). We finish the night with some studying/homework. Cole is adjusting his mustache for snapchats not

 Blog I’m critiquing:  https://www.sbnation.com/nba/2023/3/1/23620868/ja-morant-allegations-aggression-teenager-fight-punch-story Ja Morant is one of the most exciting young players in the NBA. However, he has found himself in trouble over the past couple days with allegations made against him that could severely hurt his future in the league. There has been multiple allegations that he fought and even pulled a gun on a 17 year old kid while playing pick up. In this blog they do a very nice job of jumping off what could be a sensitive subject. As the subject they discuss in this blog is very new and not a lot of concrete details have been confirmed. You never want to be held liable for something you said. They do a perfect job of telling us what we do know. I also liked how they talked about how this could severely hurt the Memphis Grizzlies as they are, as talked about in this blog, Western Conference Title contenders. If they are missing there star  Point Guard for an extended period

Hometown Story

  Somewhere in the small corner of North-Eastern Arkansas is a little town that goes by the name of Paragould , Arkansas. This town had the privilege of being known as my, Lucas Bennett, hometown. Paragould is filled with history, stories, and facts from here to Ten Buck Too. One of the most famous things about Paragould is their intense rivalry between the two high schools in town. Those schools being Greene County Tech and Paragould High School. Growing up here it was hostile territory anytime somebody brought up Greene County Tech being that I went to Paragould. The emotions towards each other boil over into flat out hatred.  During my time at Paragould , from a young age they engrave this rivalry into you. You bleed, sweat, and cry Wreck Tech. Every time we played them in football, basketball, baseball, soccer, tennis, etc we got hyped. Pep rallies were a staple of Paragould High School. When it came down to the game, win or lose, words were going to be exchanged, objects were goi

 Blog I’m critiquing:  https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2023/2/24/23613352/russell-wilson-pete-carroll-fired-seahawks-broncos-trade-sean-payton I find this topic very interesting due to the fact of hindsight. If this is true, Wilson, who was later traded to the Denver Broncos before the season began, had one of the worst seasons of his career. The Broncos would miss the playoffs, with many of his teammates turning on Wilson. While, Pete Carroll would coach a Seahawks team, that was written off as a projected lottery team, into the playoffs. While reviving quarterback, Geno Smith’s, career. I also am intrigued by the thought he brings up about how what if the other coach that Wilson wanted was, newly acquired by the Broncos, head coach Sean Payton.

Blog I’m critiquing:  https://www.sbnation.com/nba/2023/2/24/23613377/chris-boucher-free-throw-line-dunk-video-raptors This is interesting article concept with it being so rare. Here, they talk about how Chris Boucher may have had the longest in game dunk of all time. The dunk occurred when Boucher leaped from just inside the free throw line in a game against the New Orleans Pelicans. I like the concept of this because you have to be eagle eyed to notice little details like this. The verbs used to describe this are very beneficial as well comparing Boucher to a bird with the way he soared through the air.
