NBA 2022-2023 regular season predictions

The playoffs are almost done and the regular season will start soon. So I’ll be predicting what teams will be at the top in the standings. And what players will be the top scorers

The leaders in the Eastern conference I think will be Celtics because the Team is up coming young ins who are future stars. The Celtics record next year I think will be 63-19. They will most likely be in 1st or 2nd. I also think the 76ers will be around the top. Celtics and 76ers will be battling for 1st. I think Joel Embiid will be first in scoring.

The Western conference will be Warriors or mavericks. I also think the Grizzlies have a chance to be at the top. The warriors have a superstar team but if they change their starting line up they will have a even better team. The mavericks have Luka Doncic who is a crazy shooter. The Grizzlies have a good overall team would could be good if they find their chemistry. The scoring leader will be Luka Doncic.

Call of Duty Black Ops 3

In Black Ops 3 (BO3) is my favorite Call of duty. When you get the game there is zombies, Multiplayer and Campion. I only play zombies so that’s what I’ll talk about.

Origins | Call of Duty Wiki

When you get into zombies there’s 14 different maps and you only get one map for free but it’s a very good map. The other maps you have to buy. The best map on BO3 is probably Origins. In BO3 you can do Easter eggs on each map except a couple where you get a achievement. Easter Eggs are one of the best things about zombies maps. The map I’ll explain is called Origins. Defiantly the best map because of the stuff you have to do and the story line. The story line behind it is pretty cool it’s about this girl trapped and she leads you kind of through the map to unlock things to try release her. It’s hard to explain but as soon as you learn Origins you’ll like the storyline.

The main thing in origins is getting staffs. You can build any one of the 4 staffs. There’s parts around the map and you have to build your staff, then upgrade it. There’s 4 different staffs, the fire, ice, lighting and wind. The staffs help you a lot and they are the reason you can finish the Easter Egg. There’s like 5 main steps till you finish the Easter Egg and the last step you go to this underground teleported that takes you to the crazy place(we’ll call it) and you just kill 100 zombies. Once everybody does the 100 kill challenge the souls go into the aether and release the girl. Once the round ends, the game brings you into a cut scene and the girl is back in her house.

NBA problems

There is lots of problems in the NBA this season so I will only list the big problems.

Doc Rivers. The Philadelphia 76ers coach Doc Rivers is a problem and here’s why. So it’s round 1 game 6, Raptors vs 76ers, 76ers have 3 wins so 1 more win they move on. 76ers are up by 30 in the 4th quarter not that much time left in the game and Doc rivers puts their best player in, Joel Embiid. So Embiid is coming down the court almost at the basket and Pascal Siakam elbows him in the face on purpose and Joel suffered a right orbital fraction and a mild concussion. They still won and moved on to round 2, now 76ers are down 2 wins in round 2, like Doc Rivers should be fired.

 

The Lakers. Oh my don’t even get me started on Russel Westbrook and Antony Davis. Russel Westbrook is a terrible shooter, terrible playmaker and just sucks overall. Lakers got to trade him soon but no one will take him like he would have to get payed like so little money for someone to take him.

Who will win the NBA finals.

I think the 2 teams that will be in the finals will be the Boston Celtics and the Golden State Warriors. I personally think Celtics will beat the GSW and here’s why.

The GSW have lights out shooters, Steph Curry, Jorden Poole, and Klay Thompson. But if GSW has one bad day of shooting Celtics will win because GSW whole team is literally only good shooters. Celtics whole team is great defenders so Celtics will lock down on defense and they barely give any space for GSW to shoot. Did you know Marcus Smart for Boston Celtics won defensive player of the year, he’s the second guard to win dpoy.

I think Celtics have a better team overall. Both teams have good teams not just stand out players. The Celtics have Jayson Tatum probably the best player in the league he is a amazing scorer, he can shoot for all over the court and he’s 6’7. The big thing about Jayson Tatum is that he can score and play good defense, most great scorers cant do that. So GSW has the shooters but Celtics has the better all around scorers and better defense and that’s why I think Celtic will win.

Here’s a link to the NBA playoffs, and a picture to Celtics best players,

Best NBA Franchise

The Lakers are the number 1 franchise of all time. They have won 17 championships. They have been in the NBA for 74 seasons and have made the playoffs 62 times.

The Lakers have had 6 top 10 all time NBA players which include Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson, Kareem, Lebron, Shaq, and Wilt Chamberlain. Lebron wasn’t in his Prime on the Lakers but he’s still a top 10 player of all time in the Lakers franchise.

Lakers had a crazy dominant team from 1996 to 2004 because of Shaq and Kobe. They won 3 straight championships in a row in 2000, 2001, and 2002. When Kobe got drafted he was somehow an amazing player, it didn’t take him long to become a superstar. In 2004 Shaq left Lakers but Lakers were still a strong team it showed that Kobe could lead a team by himself. Kobe went on to win 2 more ring in a row. Magic Johnson was also an amazing player back in the 80’s, he won 5 rings. He didn’t really even have good teammates he just was a good play maker that made his team better.

Best NBA francaises

The top 3 best franchises are Chicago bulls, Boston Celtics, Lakers. So best franchises are most successful teams. I will have another part to talk about the Lakers because there is lots to talk about

3. Chicago Bulls the bulls really shined from 1988 to 1998 that’s when Michael Jorden, Dennis rodman, Scottie pippin (called big three). The bulls have only won six rings and the big three won all of the bulls rings. The bulls have the second best record ever of 72-10 so 72 wins and 10 losses and that was in 1995-1996. The bulls are only good with the big three they’ve never really been consistently good but when they had the big three it was one of the best teams every.

2. The Boston Celtics are really good through the teams seasons. The Celtics have won 17 champions ships, tied for first. Bill Russell retired NBA player for Celtics won 11 rings the most every. 1957-1986 Celtics were pretty insane. Then in 07-012 they got good again. The best Celtics players were Larry Bird, Bill Russell and Kevin Garnet. These upcoming years I think the Celtics will be crazy good because they have Jayson Tatum and Jaylon Brown.

Here’s a picture of one of the best upcoming NBA teams- Boston Celtics

Our U15 playoffs.

We played against Fairford. Playoffs work like if a team wins twice they move on but if they lose two there out. So its best out of three. Fairford’s about 2 hours from Arborg. Our first game they came to Arborg.

They beat us but we could of played a lot better. I don’t know how we lost because we are the 2nd best team in the league and Fairfords 4th last. But playoffs can go anyway. The first game wasn’t fun at all. Here’s a link to the standing in Interlake.

Interlake Minor Hockey Association – TeamLinkt

 

The second game we went to Fairford and we lost but it was the funniest game of the year. People were getting kicked out in the stands. The hits in the game were massive like josh and Jerome (kid from Fisher river that plays on our team). In the second and third period the game started getting rough and a bit dirty from both teams. They had a lot of penalties from the same kids, number 77, 1 and 69 and some other kids on the other team and our team we had a couple. It was really all clean hits but there was some kneeing and tripping penalties.

I would be scared if I was the refs because the fans were yelling and swearing at them. The other team and the other team goalie was like attacking the ref. It looked like the goalie was trying to fight the ref, he was getting in his face and everything.

 

My favorite basketball shoes

Kyrie’s are shoes that are based off Kyrie Irving. He is a NBA player that plays on the Brooklyn Nets. Kyrie’s are probably one of the best basketball shoes to use because the grip is great. Here is a link to the Kyrie 7s shoes.

Kyrie 7. Nike CA

Kyrie 7s black/white. The grip is great and I think that the design is awesome. There is the black upper part then the bottom is white. The Nike symbol on the side has black in the middle and white outline. I think it matches very well. There is also a little light blue right on top of the white bottom, which I think makes up the great shoe look.

I like the Kyrie 7 weatherman because its a bunch of different green colors. Its almost like a rain forest color. The middle is mid green color, which goes good which the black bottom. There is also a light green/orange color on the back with a lighter green stripe on the bottom. All the different green colors go really well together. If I could change one thing it would be to remove the little orange on the back and just change it for different green colors.

My top 3 basketball players of all time.

Number 3. Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Kareem is a 7’1 center that played from 1969 to 1989. He played for 21 seasons. The reason he was so good was because he was just dominant. Ya because of his height but there was people that were taller than him and he would still be able to dunk and do things over those players. He did one move that was so good. The sky hook, the sky hook is literally  you hooking the ball over the defenders reach. That move was one of the greatest move’s ever and still is. He has the most career points ever which is 38’387. There’s one person that will be able to pass that.

Number 2 and number 1. Lebron is number 2 and Jorden is number 1. Lebron is statistically better which means his stats are better but Jorden is Jorden. Jorden was great with his teams. He has more rings because him and his team has great chemistry together.  six NBA Finals Most Valuable Player (MVP) Awards, ten scoring titles (both all-time records), five MVP Awards, ten All-NBA First Team designations, nine All-Defensive First Team honors (joint record), fourteen NBA All-Star Game selections, three All-Star Game. He also has 6 championship wins. Lebron will pass Kareem in points at the end of his career. But having the most points and the great stats doesn’t make you the best. There’s a big argument who’s better Jorden or Lebron, I say Jorden.

who do I think will be the MVP and will win the finals.

I think that there is lots of people that could be the MVP this year in Basketball. Like the people that are contenders for the MVP are Ja Morant, Kevin Durant, Demar DeRozan, curry, Lebron, James harden, and Giannis.

At the start of the year I thought that it would be KD, Curry, Giannis, Jokic, and Lebron. But the past couple weeks Ja Morant has been and crazy player that gets over 25 points per game almost 30 and wins for his team. Unlike Jayson Tatum that gets 25 points per game he can’t help his team win, that’s what you call a stat chaser. Demar DeRozan hit 2 back to back game winners for his team. He has also great stats and helps his team win that’s why his team first in their division. James Harden is only a MVP player if he keeps up the good work. Like he has been dropping 25 point games plus every single game and is really helping KD win for their team. I’m pretty amazed by Hardens work lately like before these past week he has been pretty lazy. So I personally hope Ja Morant, Demar, KD, or James harden wins the MVP this year.

I want the bulls or the nets to win this year because I want Demar or Harden to win their first championship. People hate harden because he left the rockets for the nets and call him a ring chaser but lets be honest if your team sucked for years you would request a trade and probably ring chase.
