The highly anticipated Air Jordan 1 High “Lost & Found” is finally releasing on November 19th. We’ve seen many iterations of the “Chicago” Air Jordan 1 throughout the years but this time around we are getting a “vintage” look to them. 

The inspiration behind the Air Jordan 1 “Lost & found” was finding a pair of “Chicago” Jordan 1s in the basement or storage of a mom and pop shop. Many people have kept their 1985 “Chicago” Air Jordan 1 Highs brand new but overtime the leather has cracked and given it a vintage look which was what inspired this “Lost & Found” pair to release. On the Air Jordan 1 “Lost & Found” the leather on the collar, mid-panel, and toe is cracked giving it a vintage look, it also comes with a dusted finish on the outsole. The shape of the “Lost & Found” pair is not its original shape from 1985 but it does resemble the shape of the 2015 “Chicago” Air Jordan 1 High OG.  

Look for the Air Jordan 1 High “Lost & Found” to release on November 19th in full family sizing at select retailers and on the Nike SNKRS app.

The Phoenix Suns Hand The Timberwolves Their 4th Loss (116-107)

The Phoenix Suns Hand The Timberwolves Their 4th Loss (116-107)

Featured

by | Nov 1, 2022 | Featured, Minnesota Timberwolves, NBA

The Minnesota Timberwolves are coming into this game against Phoenix after a loss to the Spurs. The Suns played without their big man DeAndre Ayton. From the start, the Timberwolves were going inside trying to attack the Suns in the paint. The only thing that got in the way of Minnesota tonight was themselves. The turnovers were a huge issue tonight and the Phoenix Suns made them pay. Every time the Timberwolves made a mistake the Suns made them pay in the transition game and that’s where the Timberwolves have been hurting this season. It’s all about getting back and setting the defense up but the Suns were running and gunning with purpose.

 

Tonight was Cam Johnson’s night as he was making the Timberwolves pay inside and outside with his scoring ability. Johnson finished the game with 29 points and his jumper was on point. Cam Johnson was on another planet tonight as on the season he only averages 12.5 ppg. Devin Booker added to that performance as he finished with 18 points, 5 assists, and 7 rebounds and he made some crucial shots when the Suns needed them. Devin Booker can create his shot from anywhere and he was able to hit his stop and pop with ease tonight. The Suns had forced a lot of turnovers tonight against Minnesota with (16). Mikal Bridges was all over the place as well showing that he’s one of the best two way players in the NBA. Bridges can score with the ball but he’s lethal when it comes to making cuts for easy buckets. The Suns were clicking on all cylinders tonight.

 

For the Timberwolves it was Anthony Edwards who kept them in the game and got them close when they went on their run in the 4th. Anthony Edwards has to be able to be aggressive and get into the scoring column quicker. Edwards is a rhythm shooter so if he can continue to get those looks early then he can have an incredible night. Edwards had 24 points tonight but it wasn’t enough to get the Timberwolves the victory. It’s going to take some time to gel and the big men (Towns/Gobert) combined for 31 points & 19 rebounds. It was clear that when the Timberwolves need offense they play off Towns but they also put Naz Reid in to play with him as well.

 

Naz Reid has shown that he will need some more minutes in this offense as he finished with 13 points. Naz gives the Timberwolves another big that can score but he can also put the ball on the court and make a play for himself. Minnesota has to take it personally on the defensive and when they do that it will be a scary sight for any team that’s playing them. This was their first true test against a Western Conference contender and it got close late but they will need to dig down for those big-time stops. Chris Paul and Devin Booker put the Suns on their back late in this one to make sure they secured the win. Chris Paul has been unreal as he’s been taking care of the ball and had finally had a turnover.  CP3 is the best point guard in the NBA and his IQ’s a lot higher than the next point guards trust me. Chris Paul finished with 15 points, 12 assists, and 8 rebounds.

 

The Timberwolves will be heading back home on Friday as they will take on the undefeated Milwaukee Bucks. It will be a great game and this will give them a chance to see where they stack against the Greek Freak Giannis.

Primetime Preview: Cincinnati Bengals at Cleveland Browns (MNF Week 8)

Primetime Preview: Cincinnati Bengals at Cleveland Browns (MNF Week 8)

by | Oct 31, 2022 | Featured, NFL

 

The Cincinnati Bengals are back to their winning ways after their close loss to the Ravens currently on a 2-game-win streak. The Bengals are 4-3 this season and right behind the Ravens in the division. With a win tonight they will tie the Ravens for first in the AFC North division. The Bengals are a high-powered offense that is starting to find its groove thanks to the performances by Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase. Burrow has thrown for 2,097 yards and 15 touchdowns. 6 of those 15 touchdowns were thrown in the last two games and he also rushed for 2 combined in those games. I expect Burrow to add plenty more facing the Browns but his main target Ja’Marr Chase will be out due to a hip injury so we will see who will be the wide receiver to step up in his place. Chase has put up good numbers entering week 8 with 605 yards per game and sitting 3rd in touchdowns with 6. So look for Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins to help out as well as Mixon in the passing game.

They face a Browns defense that gives up 26.6 points per game and 210 passing yards so expect the Bengals passing games to light up that secondary. This season just isn’t what they expected and I’m talking about the Cleveland Browns. Having to start the season without star quarterback Deshaun Watson due to off-the-field trouble the starting position was handed over to veteran Jacoby Brisset who helped the Browns get a win in the first game of the season but since then he has lost 4 of his 5 starts. No signs of the passing game getting any better for the Browns until the return of Watson from his suspension. But the only spotlight on this Cleveland Brown roster is the performance from Nick Chubb this season. Chubb has been the best player on this team since week one and the only chance of the Browns staying in games or possibly winning. He has racked up 740 yards currently in 3 rd place in the league and is tied for first in touchdowns with 8. Nick Chubbs has had 3 games with over 100 yards but only one win in those games. Unfortunately, the hard work Chubbs is putting in this season just isn’t enough to win games but the blame is not on him. On the other side of the ball, the Browns defense is in the middle of the league ranks in overall defense and it’s going to be a huge nightmare tonight for that defense on this Halloween night facing this Bengals offense.

 

Prediction:37 – 14 Bengals over the Browns

The Timberwolves Fall To The Short Handed San Antonio Spurs (107-98)

The Timberwolves Fall To The Short Handed San Antonio Spurs (107-98)

Featured

by | Oct 30, 2022 | Featured, Minnesota Timberwolves, NBA

The Timberwolves were coming into this game after a win against the Lakers on Friday. Tonight they faced the San Antonio Spurs who they saw twice last week. Both the Timberwolves and Spurs split their matchups last week (1-1). The Spurs came into this game on a mission as they were the aggressive team from the tip-off. It was tough for the Timberwolves to keep up with the Spurs in transition as they were outplaying with energy. The Spurs made every hustle play and imposed their will tonight with ease. Keldon Johnson was the star of the game for the Spurs.

 

Johnson showed that he was able to improve his 3-point shooting this offseason and showed he had the big shot-making ability. On the night Johnson had 25 points, 8 assists, and 6 rebounds. Anything Coach Pop needed from Johnson he was able to get as he was scoring on whoever defended him. The Timberwolves were able to shut down the majority of the starters on the night for the Spurs except for Keldon Johnson. The unsung hero for the game tonight for the Spurs was Doug McDermott as he shot 50% from the field and scored 23 points off the bench. When McDermott is that hot it can be a long night and it definitely was for the Timberwolves. At one point the Timberwolves were down by 19 points but they came all the way back down by 4 points.

 

It was the bench scoring that hurt the Timberwolves because the Spurs bench scored 43 of the 107 points. The bright spot for the Timberwolves was that Karl-Anthony Towns was able to get his rhythm going on the night. Towns finished with 26 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 assists. It was one of those games where he came out and let it be known it was his night. Anthony Edwards was struggling early in this game and that gave Towns more opportunity. This team has all the ingredients to be special but they need some time to get that chemistry down. It won’t happen overnight and you can’t rush it but it will take the small things like energy, hustle, and heart if they want to win. They have all of that and more we just need to see it on a consistent basis. Anthony Edwards’ offense came to life in the 2nd half as he finished with 18 points.

 

The Timberwolves will look to bounce back as they play the Phoenix Suns next on November 1st. As the Timberwolves will now start a small stretch of games where they will be playing playoff contenders.
