Today's UPDATES

Every day I'm talking about a new development that goes on in the NBA Playoffs and this year could be the best one yet, today's Max Sports rundown maybe living proof of that. Last night in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals, it was not a game of offense. but more about defense as both the Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors would hot each other to under 100 points. The game went back and forth, the Warriors start the first quarter on a 12-0 run and outscored the Rockets 28-19, but the Rocks were able to return the favor in the second quarter and score 34 points while keeping the Dubs to 18. Then in the third quarter, it got even more dicey as with the help of Steph Curry, the Warriors put up 34 points and kept the Rocks to 17 points, finally, it all came down to the fourth and final quarter and it was either going to be the Rockets' defense or the Warriors' offense that wins the game. Sure enough, it was all about the defense of the Rockets who were able to keep the Warriors to 12 points and they made 25 which were enough for a 95-92 victory. James Harden and Steph Curry's scoring were almost identical with the former getting 30 points and the latter 28, Harden and Chris Paul each had four assists which would carry them to that much needed win that has tied this series at two games a piece. So both Conference Final matchups in the NBA will be winning two of the last three games, a seventh may not be necessary if one team from each conference can win two straight games, they will find themselves playing in the NBA Finals next week!

This is a #JustSoYouKnow moment for Nickelodeon fans everywhere. the long and running cable network for kids announced yesterday who the host for its revival of Double Dare will be. First of all, the game show will return to Nick on June 25th at 8PM, and that Original Host Marc Summers will return as a color commentator who will tale viewers each challenge that is played. It has now been confirmed that YouTube sensation Liza Koshy who has made appearances on MTV and worked as a correspondent on TRL, she has her own show on Hulu called Freakish, not to be confused with Black-ish of Grown-ish. It's going to be more than great to see a female host one of the greatest game shows in history and an all time favorite to those who have seen in original series back in the 1980s and 90s. By the way, Houston Rockets' Chris Paul was announced a dew week ago to be hosting the 2018 Kids' Choice Sports Awards on July 21st. So it's going to be fun to see what the has to offer as Nickelodeon will honor the best athletes and teams in sports this summer and who knows if the Rockets can win the NBA Championship this year, Chris Paul could bring the NBA Trophy with him to Kids Choice Sports. Moving back to Double Dare, here's a look at what Liza Koshy has to say about hosting one of her favorite shows and how it has become a childhood dream come true.

Since we're discussing child themed subjects, today's #TwitterTrend is about the new title for the upcoming sequel for "The LEGO Movie." It's been four years since this film with the ensemble cast of Chris Pratt, Will Arnett, Elizabeth Banks, Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman and Will Ferrell captivated audiences in theaters, and now we can look to forward to what is now "The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part." The sequel will pick up right where the first film left off when alien invaders, built from DUPLO blocks, threaten to destroy the Lego universe. According to the plot: "Emmet Brickowski's life is going great, but when the Duplo Aliens kidnap Batman, Emmet must re-team up with his girlfriend Wyldstyle, their friends, and his sister to go to space to rescue the Caped Crusader." From the looks of things, this will be a space adventure for the characters of LEGO and the film will feature some new voices such as Tiffany Haddish and Micheal Cera who previously played Robin the LEGO Batman movie. A lot of people are reacting to title of the new film is set to debut on February 8th, 2019, so let's see what they saying up close and personal.

Lego Movie 2: The Second Part.......that has got to be one of the best sequel titles ever.

Geraint Lewis @GeraintL
The first film is easily in my Top 10!!!

Jason Gill @filmfactorypod
I love this title. I also like the blue accents on the original logo however, I do wonder weather or not this movie will be any good. The Lego Movie was a big suprise and smash hit, The Lego Batman movie was extremely fun but not as good and Ninjago, Ninjago was barely good.

the film industry is saved yet again.

Everything is indeed AWESOME.
