Sentinel Sports Final

Wednesday, May 10, 2023

One last shot at baseball in Orlando, but Pat Williams has an uphill climb unless somebody else pitches in. Speaking of pitching, it failed the Rays in their eighth loss. UCF finally landed another quarterback via the transfer portal, but how long until another one transfers when he realizes he's not the primary backup to John Rhys Plumlee? No one is going to be happy with third or fourth string. There won't be a repeat Open Cup run for Orlando City, which changed seven of its Staring IX in failing to score in Charlotte. And after all the arguing about "Who should be MVP" in the NBA during the regular season, Nikola Jokic (Denver) and Joel Embiid (Philly) are one win away from the conference finals and a possible clash in the NBA Finals. Both teams will be favored to advance despite the surprising runs by the Lakers and Heat. Denver is an underrated city. Philly probably has the second-most hostle fan base in the league (after Boston). Having worked in all 30 arenas as a beat reporter, every other NBA venue is a distant third and it's not even close.
