This Week's UPDATES
It's been a busy week for yours truly, I went back to LaGuardia CC to start my third semester in college, but I did not know what to expect. I knew what most of my classes would be like before I they even got started, but there was one class on Friday afternoons that was still a mystery, luckily the Professor explaining every very careful. Now, while I may not like doing so much work in all of my classes this spring, I'll do my best in order to get more credits. The way that this first week back to college ended will be something I'll be remember for years to come, and before I can get into that, I want to explain that there will be no 7-Round Round-Up this week. I normally create it using Microsoft Word, but apparently there' s been some sort of "application issue" with Word and it claims that Microsoft Office needs to update which could take who knows how long. So right now, we are going to jump straight into the next piece.
Our Main Story this week is regarding basketball and the fact the NBA Playoffs are about a month away. So far, three teams have clinched a spot in the playoffs which the: Milwaukee Bucks, Toronto Raptors, and Los Angeles Lakers who have clinch for the first time since 2013. One team that I want to talk in particular is my Brooklyn Nets who are having a roller coaster season so to speak trying to deal with the fact that their all-star players Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are no help to them right now. With both of them out due to injuries, the somewhat younger players who helped get them on board have been left alone with the tall take of getting back to the playoffs for a second year in a row. Last Friday, my sister got us tickets to see the Nets play against the San Antonio Spurs at Barclays Center and I was super excited from the gecko. It was the first time that I got on the Long Island Rail Road, traveled all the Barclays and step foot in that amazing arena to see my favorite NBA team in action. To get this out the way, the next time I'll going back to Barclays will be my LaGuardia graduation ceremony, but in the meantime I my focus was on the game and the experience. My sister and I got great seats so we could see almost everything, I went to the concessions and bought I grub tub which is a bowl connected on top of a novelty cup. The game itself was mostly the Nets dominating the Spurs and winning 139-120 in the end, I made sure to take a lot of pictures everywhere I went and I got a Dr. J bobble head toy inspired by Marvel. The funny thing is that I wanted to go to this a game as part of my birthday which was weeks ago and boy did my sister delivered the way she did, but now we come where things got absolutely shocking for the Brooklyn Nets yesterday morning. I was in the kitchen yesterday and I went to twitter to find that Nets and their head coach Kenny Atkinson have decided to mutually part ways, I thought it was some kind of a joke but it wasn't. I realized at that moment that Friday;s game was not only my first time at Barclays but also the last game for Kenny as their head coach. There have been a lot of speculations as to why this has happened, but we won't be getting into them right, instead I'll be whipping out the Web Choice photo album showcasing my experience at a Nets game in Brooklyn.

A Night to Remember
Couldn't believe where I was, walking into Barclays Center was amazing.
This where my sister and me were seating.
Got a little close to the court and saw the players particle.
Got my bobble head, my grub tub and I'm all set for the game.
Made sure to take selfies of me in my Kyrie jersey that I got for Christmas.
Always wanted to take a of Nets making a shot and winning.
A great night in Brooklyn despite want whats to come the next morning.
Now, it's time for another Max Sports rundown with a special look at the NBA Playoff standings.
