June 15, 2014 by Leave a Comment

DID LEBRON JUST ENROLL HIS CHILDREN IN OHIO SCHOOLS FOR NEXT YEAR?

“The Unhappy Hour” host Brian Engelman once again welcomes Zak Baris to talk about the NBA Finals.

The Spurs have looked dominant for two games in a row, and take a 3-1 series lead. Will they close it out in 5 games.

Who has been the MVP of the Spurs during the Finals run?

Plus,

– Where will LeBron & Carmelo be playing basketball next year?
– Did LeBron just enroll his children in Ohio schools for next year? If true, does this mean that James has already made his “decision” to return & play for the Cavaliers next season?
– If LeBron returns to Cleveland, who will be the next coach?
– Think about a lineup that includes Kyrie Irving, LeBron James, the #1 pick in this year’s upcoming draft as a new “Big 3” but younger.
– Could Carmelo Anthony or Kevin Love end up on the Cavs roster as well?
– Who should the Cavs pick at #1? New reports hint toward Joel Embiid, but Jabari Parker, & Andrew Wiggins look like pretty good options as well.

& Much More.

May 20, 2014 by Leave a Comment

“The Unhappy Hour” host Brian Engelman once again welcomes Zak Baris to talk about the Cleveland Cavaliers who just won the NBA draft lottery for the second time in 2 years, & the third time in 4 years.

Will this be enough to get the Cavs back into the playoffs?
Will the Cavs make a trade with the Timberwolves to acquire Kevin Love?
Will the Cavs pick Joel Embiid, Jabari Parker, or Andrew Wiggins?
Will the new pick encourage Kyrie Irving to sign an extension this Summer?
Will all of this help lure coach Cal to run the Cavs?

Also,….Can you remember why all Cavs fans should be thankful to Clippers owner Donald Sterling?

Plus,….as people begin to wonder if the NBA lottery is rigged, it would be a good time to wonder if Michael Jordan was quietly banned from the NBA in 1993 because of a reckless gambling addiction?

& Much More.
