#fakeTV: Top Ten

This weekend, everything could be determined for the 2018 NBA Finals, last Wednesday and last night, the Celtics and Rockets got those Game 5 victories they were looking for. However, they scored less than a hundred points to win, but that's not a bad thing because it shows what a game they each put on this week, let's break it all down with this brand new Max Sports rundown. As usual, it was a battle to see who can outscore each in separate quarters, and the Celtics who the first battle when they put up 32 points in the first quarter of their Game 5 and help the Cavaliers  to 19 points. From then on, it was all Celtics who, despite many setbacks, hold off the Cavaliers in a 96-83 victory which brings us to tonight as the Celtics have a chance to get back to the NBA Finals for the first time in almost eight years. LeBron James' latest double-double of 24 points and 10 rebounds was not enough for the Cavs, they couldn't even keep Celtics player Jason Tatum at bay and he put 24 points for his team. Meanwhile, the Rockets honored last night game to the the victims of the Santa Fe school shooting and saved a large bunch of seats for the students so they could get a good view of the team facing off against the Warriors. The Rockets started the game with the home crowd behind them, their defense was once again superb last night and they were able keep the Warriors from getting a very large lead in the game. Kevin Durant has another stellar performance with 29 points, Eric Gordon put 24 points for the Rockets and Chris Paul had six assists which the Rocks put to good use.  The game ended with the Rockets winning 98-94, and like the Celtics, they are one win away from a trip to the NBA Finals next Thursday. The 2018 Stanley Cup Finals promise to be epic because for the first time since 2007, it'll feature two teams that have not previously won a Stanley Cup. The Golden Knights are making their Finals debut in their inaugural season, becoming the first team since the Blues to make the Finals in their first season. Capitals are making their second Finals appearance and their last one came twenty years ago in 1998. It all begins this Memorial Day as the NHL crowns a new team of champions , here a quick look of how things are with each matchup.

Guess what, I've got another frsh #JustSoYouKnow moment lined up for today, and this one discusses about this week's NFL meetings with team owners. The NFL has made certain rules changes to make games next season and beyond and a lot of people are not happy about most of them, but here's something they should be happy about. We know by now that Super Bowl 53 will be held next February in 2019 at the fancy new Mercedes-Benz stadium in Atlanta, then in 2020 and 2021, Florida will host two Super Bowls with Miami's Hard Rock Stadium getting SB 54 and the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa will be hosting SB 55. 2022 is looking really good as the currently built Los Angeles Stadium at Hollywood Park will host Super Bowl 56. Last Wednesday, the NF;L confirmed at its meeting that the University of Phoenix Stadium in Arizona will host Super Bowl 57 in 2023 and the Mercedes-Benz Superdome will play host to SB 58 in 2024, so clearly the NFL wants to go back to previous host city for its future Championship Games, but that's good for some people who leave in the area of these aforementioned stadiums and they are more than ready to buy a ticket to go the Super Bowl. Check out what a few are saying about Arizona and New Orleans both hosting another premier championship of game of their own.
Are Arizona and New Orleans ready to host another Super Bowl?
