Like a Dad’s NBA 2024-25 win total predictions

As the new NBA season approaches, it’s time to dive into the NBA win total predictions and make some bold picks. Below is a list of all NBA teams with their projected win totals for the 2024-25 season. I’ll share my thoughts on whether each team will exceed (Over) or fall short (Under) of these expectations. Since you are already here, you might as well give it a read.

My very unresearched 2024-25 NBA predictions

Grab some Cheez-its and a notepad, because it’s time for me to make my very unresearched NBA predictions for the 2024-25 season. I can’t believe the NBA season is back already. It doesn’t feel that long ago that I was watching Luka versus the Celtics in the NBA Finals. Why am I sharing these wild thoughts with you? Honestly, I don’t think it’s going to be a fun season for the Toronto Raptors, so I need to find joy in other ways when I tune in.

Quick takes on NBA Finals

In what seems like a several week break, the 2023-24 NBA Finals will finally start tomorrow night in Boston. It’s the underdog Dallas Mavericks against the hated Boston Celtics (at least in my opinion).

So what’s going to happen? Who’s going to win? Who will be proclaimed the best basketball player in the world? What team should blow it up cause they came second? So many subplots and talking points.

Before the action tips off, I just wanted to get my takes in so if any of them actually happen, I can seem like an expert. That’s how it’s done right?

Friday Newsletter – Shout out to the women

Every Friday I fire off a list of things I think you need to know. Want me to know something in return? Leave it in the comments.

Happy International Women’s Day everyone. Before getting into this week’s list of super unimportant things you need to know, I wanted to send a message to the handful of women who are pretty vital to my life and happiness.

My interview with NBA broadcast legend Mike Breen

This is not a real interview with Mike Breen, however it is me seeing how realistic ChatGPT can be. Spoiler alert, it’s pretty good.

For those not familiar with Mike Breen, he is an American play-by-play sports commentator. He has been the lead announcer for NBA games on ABC and ESPN since 2006, including the NBA Finals. He is also the lead announcer for New York Knicks games on the MSG Network. Breen previously called NFL regular season games for both NFL on Fox and NFL on NBC, as well as New York Giants preseason games.

You most likely know him for yelling “BANG”, when a player hits a big shot.

Why did I choose to fake interview Mike Breen? Well, he is a well-spoken guy with a distinct voice and style and I figured that would be a good kind of person to use ChatGPT with.

So without further explanation, here is my fake interview with Mike Breen.

Revisiting my 2022-23 NBA Predictions

Now that we are over half done the 2022-23 NBA season, I thought it was a good practice to revisit my early season predictions. It’s been an odd season so far, especially from the perspective of a Toronto Raptors fan. Boy was I off. Scoring is way up, no team looks like they are unbeatable and honestly I think the biggest key to winning the title will be health.

Here are my predictions for the season with a little commentary added on how it’s going as of January 30th.

Do You Have High Expectations For Your Kids In Sports?

An article I wrote that was originally posted on the Dads Round Table.

With the first pick in the 2027 NBA Draft, the Toronto Raptors select Harrison Cusden out of the University of Michigan…..

A dad can dream can’t he? All of my favourite things culminating in one glorious moment that will shape the life of my son and our family.

No pressure right? No expectations at all. Just go from a kid in the driveway to the biggest stage in basketball. Now that a Canadian has become the top pick in what is still a very American sport, as witnessed by Anthony Bennett and most likely Andrew Wiggins next year, there are no limits. So, let’s keep the party going for many years to come. In particular, 2027 and 2030.

Pretty high expectations right?

Metta World Peace Wrote A Children’s Book

mettas-bedtime-storiesI have been a fan of the NBA for as long as I can remember. But as a child, I would have killed for a professional basketball player to write a book for me to read when I was only a little squirt. Larry Bird maybe? Hmmm wait, it would have to be even earlier. Bill Russell? Anyways, kids today have it made. NBA stars are writing books for kids and here is the latest.

By none other than Metta World Peace. Yep, you read that right.

Former NBA Defensive Player of the Year Metta World Peace is now an official children’s book author.

The book, which retails for $12.95, is a short collection of stories aimed at children between the ages of 4 and 10, with titles like “Mud in My Bed” and “I’m Afraid of the Dark.”
