Today's UPDATES

BREAKING NEWS: The 2017-2018 NBA Schedule was released just early last night. I honestly didn't know about, I saw a tweet on twitter that the NBA would released the schedule on Thursday, looks like those rumors were false. So for the most part of  this blog today, we will be breaking down some of the games coming this NBA Season and on Thursday, I pick the most must see games in our Top Ten List. But for now, Max Sports has  a different story to tell, we've lately have WWE SummerSlam on the brains and now we're just five days away from the Biggest Party of the Summer with a special start time of 7PM, it will be non stop on Sunday Night. Last night, Monday Night Raw brought SummerSlam early by offering two of the red brands' matches for this Sunday to take place. In historic fashion Akira Tozawa defeated Neville and became the new Cruiserweight Champion, then Bray Wyatt over powered Finn Balor and at the end of the match pour a bucket of red liquid on Balor, this signaled a rematch between the two men, only this time, Balor would be bringing his Demon to the party. Tonight we;ll we what SmackDown Live has in stored before we head into SummerSlam, how will the superstars of the blue brand prepare for their matches this Sunday and what surprises will we see tonight? Here's a look at the results from Raw along with the MLB games played last night.

Go figure they released the NBA Schedule so early than expected and on the night of the release and NBA TV holds a Game Time special breaking down almost the entire schedule, but I missed the special yesterday. For the subject of today's #TwitterTrend, I'm going to share my thoughts on what I've seen and discuss a few key points on a couple of games coming this NBA Season. We will be getting two big matches between the this year's 2017 NBA Finalists, the Cleveland Cavaliers look for redemption, while the Golden State Warriors plan to make it back to back titles after failing to do it in 2016. The two team will play each other on Christmas Day and again on Martin Luther King Day, we'll also see them face off with rivals of their respective conferences. The Cavs and Celtics will get it on early on October 17th which is Opening Night and the Warriors got the Rockets, also on Opening Night, and then the Spurs on November 2nd, so you can expect big things from all five of these teams this season. Many good players have signed on to new teams and it will tough for them to play against their old teams, for example, Paul George signed with the Thunder earlier this summer and on December 13th gets to play against the Pacers in Indiana, meanwhile, Jimmy Butler will return to Chicago as a Timberwolf against the Bulls on February 9th, and on MLK Day, Chris Paul heads back to Los Angeles as a Houston Rocket against the Clippers. Let's not forget about the international games in Mexico and London, teams like the Heat, Nets, and Sixers, who are all in rebuilding mode, will get to shine brightly outside of the United States. As you can tell, Notable matchups have littered almost the entire regular season schedule, now let's see what the tweeters be tweeting about it.

This Friday, The Defenders finally come to Netflix and you cam bet your bottom that I'll be on binge watch for those four not-so-super heroes. Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist are the subject of today's Web Choice topic. It's too bad that I can't have the actors who played those great characters come to my house for an exclusive interview, so I have a video from Netflix which a featurette on each actor's journey from getting their own standalone series to coming together as one big unit for a crossover unlike any other we've seen before. We also have one last trailer before the premiere on Friday and this like many other trailers of The Defenders have been thus far awesome. I think Daredevil was the first Netflix series I binged watched online, even though I don't have a Netflix account, I find other sites that have the shows I like and watching so many show have taken up a lot of my time, but I think I'll stop after The Defenders and also after I'm done with The Originals. So with all of that being said, let's get straight into the videos of my choice.
