    Rajon Rondo

    Are you buying Rondo's reaction? We're sure that he's fine now. But he had to be upset back when the trade first happened. Or maybe it'll take a 22-60 season to make him realize what he lost back in June. Either way, he's in for a looooooong year without his former running mates.Remember when Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce got traded to the Nets and Doc Rivers revealed that he was leaving the Celtics to coach the Clippers? Everyone assumed that Rajon Rondo was devastated. Memes featuring photos of Rondo and sentences like "WHERE DID EVERYBODY GO?" and "HOW ABOUT HIM? IS HE STILL ON MY TEAM?" started popping up everywhere. But earlier today, Rondo revealed that he actually wasn't all that heartbroken about his former teammates and coach leaving Boston.…

    Personal Narrative: Thunder Vs. Warriors

    “Ever since I watched Steph Curry’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, I’ve wanted to be at every Warriors game,” I thought to myself while lying in bed. Shortly after that, I fell asleep. I started dreaming about how to build a time machine with a ritual. It started off with me going into a dark and quiet room and closing my mouth. Then I said where I wanted to go and the date of the event three times. Right at that time I woke up. I thought to myself “I got to try that!
