American Hustle

American Hustle was an incredible film filled with drama and comedy throughout. Actors Christian Bale and Amy Adams had impressive performances that transcended their roles. The film was set in the late 1970s and the set design captured the essence of the time period. Overall, the film was well done and should grab some awards during Oscar and Golden Globe season.

NCAA Championship Review

Well folks, it is all over! A new NCAA Basketball Champ is crowned and that team is Duke Unviersity. Coack K and his Blue Devils capture their 5th national championship under the leadership of Senior Guard Quinn Cook from the DC area such as myself, and excellent freshman play of Tyus Jones, Justice Winslow an potential NBA #1 pick in the 2015 draft , Jahlil Okafor. Duke went up against a Wisconsin team that was coming off from defeating an undefeated Kentucky team and with their play under National Player of the Year, Frank Kaminski and Sam Decker. However, Wisconsin struggled throughout the game at the free throw line at 60% versus Duke's team percentage of  80%.  In addition, Wisconsin's shooting overall was less than satisfactory with 41% from the field and Duke nearly made half of all of their shots with 47%.  As for the defensive side of the ball, Duke handled Wisconsin with 6 blocks and 4 steals. Wisconsin on the other hand, only 1 block and 3 steals. And you know ...

Wizards lose a close one to the Bulls 101-97

Looking to grab a 3-0 lead on the Chicago Bulls, the Washington Wizards couldn't get the win in the closing minutes. Chicago didn't want to lose this game, and historically, any team down 3-0 in a playoff series, will lose the series. Washington needs to close out and protect the basket. Too many second chance points for Chicago were allowed and Washington went cold in the fourth quarter. Mike Dunleavy Jr. of the Chicago Bulls went on fire, scoring 35 points, a career playoff best for him . They didn't score in 7 minutes of the 4th quarter, it wasn't until the closing seconds where Washington looked to head the game into overtime. Also, Nene stirred some controversy and fouled Jimmy Butler of the Bulls and gave him a headbutt, followed by grappling of his neck. He will be suspended for Game 4 on Sunday.  The Wizards look to regain their compose and confidence back at home at 1pm tomorrow, in the Verizon Center. GO WIZ!

Say it isn't so, Derrick Rose is hurt again

Former MVP and PG of the Chicago Bulls , Derrick Rose is hurt again with a torn meniscus in his right knee.  This will be Rose's 4th knee surgery in the past year. Ever since Rose suffered from a torn ACL in the 2012 playoffs against Philadelphia, he has missed over 100 games with the Chicago Bulls. The question now loom s for the Bulls is,  will Rose ever be helathy and be a dominant player again in the NBA? It is evident that he is injury prone and as an NBA fan, this has happened far to often with players of Rose's caliber in the past, ex: Penny Hardaway,  Tracy McGrady, Grant Hill etc. Those players went on to have long careers and were talented, but their injuries stunted them from achieving potential NBA Champion and future Hall Of Fame status. Now, what do the Chicago Bulls do in the future in regards with Rose? Well, if was the GM, I would definitely look to trade or draft a quality point guard.  Also, the Bulls looked to make a championship run this season...
