This Week's UPDATES

We've finally have a new name for our 7-Day Postcast and this will be the last time you will every hear the old on this blog. The new name will be revealed once I have given a quick recap of the week and with so many happening around the world as we speak, it's hard to know where to begin. I can tell you that the first session at LaGaurdia Community College last week and I will receive my first college grades starting tomorrow. I can't say that I'm looking forward to this part of my college times, for I feel that I have to get pass every class that I took this spring in order to move to next session that's starting within one week from tomorrow. What else that could be coming to a close are the NBA Finals and the Stanley Cup Finals, both will have major impacts on the upcoming off-seasons in basketball and hockey as well as the 2019-2020 seasons. We'll get into all of that right after you see the seven news pieces that made the cut for our new Roundup of News, of course that's not the new name.

Our Main Story this week has more Basketball than you can handle, as I said before the NBA Finals will have a major impact on what's to come in the off-season. The Golden State Warriors find themselves on the brink of missing out on a third straight championship year in a row and have had to deal with the injury bug. For most of their series, the Warriors have played without Kevin Durant who is still dealing with a calf strain, we don't even know or not if he will play in Game 5 tomorrow, but if he were, i would be a big shocker if he were to help the Warriors win three straight games over the Raptors and turn their dynasty into a legacy. Their have been many reports about Durant after the Finals, he will be one of the many top layers whose names will be on free-agency list this Summer. Another name to add on that list is Kyrie Irving and for a while, the New York Knicks have had high hopes of signing him and KD so that their luck will begin to turn in a big way, But there's a second team who may land these two amazing players, and it's another team from New York, the Brooklyn Nets, some say that the Nets may have the best chance at getting Kyrie and KD, and as a Brooklyn Fan, I pray the rumors come true. I have been listen to ESPN all week about how the Nets can pull off such a deal maker, and the #KlicKNet viewers will be able to hear it for themselves in an all-new Web Choice playlist full of big talks.
