#fakeTV: Top Ten

I'll try to talk little about the NBA and Stanley Cup Playoffs and cut right to the chase and go over on our Max Sports rundown. When last we met, we discuss the match up between the Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals, today we do the same for the Eastern Conference Finals with will be rematch of last year between the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers. Last Wednesday, the Celtics defeated the Philadelphia 76ers in a very close Game 5 matchup which the Cs were to win 114-122, so the Celtics will host the first game of the Eastern Finals in Boston this Sunday; the Cavaliers will come to B-Town well rested and a powerhouse lineup of players led by LeBron James. The home team in this game which are the Celtics will need all home court advantage they will need if they want to make it to the NBA Finals, for they have had to go in alone with three good players on their roster out for the season and the playoffs due to injury. The Cavaliers have had a surreal season of struggles and comebacks, but when it comes to the playoffs, they mean business, they won the season series over the Celtics 2-1 with their first meeting taking place in the Season Opener in October. These two teams are no stranger to one another, having played in seven playoff series together in the past, so this eight playoff meeting will be something special if goes as long as possible. Meanwhile, the Stanley Cup Conference Finals have been set and will kickoff tonight with the Captials taking on the Lightning in the East Finals. After playing seven games with the Predators, the Jets have pulled of a massive upset last night to advance the Western Finals against the surging Golden Knights. Here's a look at the matchups for each Conference Finals series in both the NBA and NHL.

Let me tell you about my day yesterday, I was in Harlem, New York with my job coach who has been teaching how to get a job the right way. We were volunteering at the first ever "Made in NY" Media Summit which had been called "an opportunity for New Yorkers and area residents to connect with entertainment industry professionals and engage with thought leaders." It was a free day of programs held at the the National Black Theatre and co-produced by the New York City Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment and Harlem-based cultural and media organizations. I helped set up the eatery tables for breakfast and lunch, but in the process I listened to some of the programs they were having such as the Screenwriters' Showcase. This was about table reads of screenplay and television pilot excerpts from select emerging screenwriters and discussion, the I was most interested in was a TV pilot called "The Destination" written by Ashley Nicole Black. For those who don't know, Black is a senior writer and correspondent for TBS' Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, and I got to meet an actual television writer, someone I could really take inspiration from. I listen to Ashley and her actors/writers read the script for their TV Pilot and it was very intriguing to hear how work they'd put into it. So after the table read, met up with Ashley and asked her what it was like working with Samantha Bee and got to take a picture with her which can be seen down below. So that was my own story to share, now #fakeTV will begin to talk about some of the most realist (yet somewhat fake) stories out on the internet with a new Top Ten list with little sports in it like before.
