NBA In- Season Tourney; Life Lately

Posted on by

Posted By Riah December 4, 2023

The NBA is back in full swing. To help keep the audience and fans engaged, the NBA introduced an in season tournament that would include group play , knockout rounds, and the finals being played in Las Vegas. Group play has concluded. The remaining teams: Pacers, Bucks, Celtics, Knicks, Lakers, Pelicans, Kings, and Suns. At first when the tournament was announced, I was a tad bit skeptical but after watching a few games, the intensity and high scoring definitely felt like a tournament. Not to mention the new courts just for the tournament. With anything new, it takes time to take shape. Of the teams still left, I think the finals will be Lakers vs Suns. It wouldn’t surprise me. I will continue to watch as the single elimination knock out rounds commence. Who do you think will win the tourney. Let me know in the comments. 🙂

Life Lately

These past couple of months, I have been getting acclimated and settled with my new baby Batman. I adopted him on Oct 21, 2023 and it was the best decision I made. He is sweet, smart, loves to play and is learning a lot. He loves to chew on his antler bone. He is a year old. Spoiled rotten already I wouldn’t change anything with him though. People see him and instantly think he is an aggressive dog because of his breed but quite frankly it is the complete opposite. He is super protective only when we are outside walking but for the most part he is quiet and chill. He likes being outside and on a schedule. Since German Shepherds require at least 60-90 minutes of exercise, we walk at least 4-5 times a day. He is definitely keeping me fit and active. I named him batman because from the first moment I met him he was super protective of me. He chose me as his mom honestly. I love him and I’m excited to watch him grow. Life lately has been exciting but busy since we are still getting used to each other and training. Luckily for me, he is already house trained, so the biggest thing we are working on is his basic cues. He is super smart in terms of it only takes him a couple tries until he has a task figured out. With time everything will fall into place. Batman has helped me with my loneliness and has brought me so much joy. I knew I wouldn’t be alone forever. God knew I needed him and he needed me. My silent protector. My guardian, My bubs. If you want to know more about him, leave a question below.

Check out some of my fave photos with him. 🙂

Thanks for reading!<3

Happy Mother’s Day

Mom, the universal word for caregiver, provider, rock, friend. Moms are the needed glue that keep us together. From an athlete perspective, mom is the motivator, the manager at times and just there to pick you up off the ground when needed after a loss or celebrate during a win.

Most of the time, once we make it big, we want to highlight the people that mean most to us and keep us going.

Moms are also the advocates! Fighting for us and standing up for us.

My mom has always been there for me. So many times whether it’s giving advice, stepping in on my behalf, or just giving me a much needed hug. We are now in the process of publishing our first cookbook together. (coming soon).

From an athlete perspective, mom is the biggest supporter, #1 overall fan and usually at every game. Cheering Loudly, Proudly and just supporting her child no matter what sport it is.

As you know most moms if not all wear multiple hats while still working full time jobs. Being a mom is a full time job in itself. I hope any mom reading this knows how appreciated, loved, and needed you are.

We love you dearly!

To all athlete moms, thanks for the late nights, dinners, team lunches, team hugs, posters, and just being our extra motivational coach. 🙂

This blog is super short and sweet 🙂
