Case Study The Atlantic Division

Regarding to basketball every single position on the floor is key to having a successful team, but to me the most important position on the floor is the point guard. The point guard in many aspects is similar to a quarterback in football, because they are in charge of getting their teams into the correct sets and controlling the game on the offensive end. Many time point guards are asked to carry on more responsibility.

Irving seeked revenge, so he led the team back to the finals in 2016. By his performance in the game, it was easy to tell Kyrie had been working hard to get a ring. He played a humongous role in leading his team to victory in game 7. This led him to win his first NBA Championship which was immensely deserved.

The study of the Atlantic as an interwoven community is a relatively new theory. Historians are beginning to see Atlantic History as “a sudden and harsh encounter between two old worlds that transformed both and integrated them into a single New World” , and not just separate entities with detached pasts. Atlantic History: Concept and Contours by Bernard Bailyn lays the framework for what Atlantic History is and how it should be studied. Bailyn states that the reasoning behind writing the book is that previous historians focus too much on the imperial history of the Atlantic world, when in fact the colonized areas had just as much of an effect on European powers as Europe had on their colonies. In this concise two part book, Bailyn’s main argument is that the concept of Atlantic History was inevitable because it is impossible to look at any major event of this time period without seeing its effects ripple throughout the entire Atlantic world.

Golden State will take advantage of Whiteside great inside presence to toughen up their interior defense which they badly needed since Andrew Bogut left the team last summer. He can protect the rim, have a good mid range jumper and can give a triple-double performance every

Led by All-American Buddy Hield (25.1 PPG), they have the talent to beat anyone in the tournament.

Robin Lopez (center) just recently signed with the New York Knicks, leaving the team without its top interior defender. Robin Lopez is the most replaceable out of the group, however, he was a great contributor to this team. He rebounded well for them last season and played great defense, but the Blazers can still find a replacement.

Carroll immediately becomes the Raptors' best perimeter defender, which isn't saying much considering who he finds himself surrounded with. As Eric Koreen of the National Post acknowledges, having the former Atlanta Hawk in the lineup will allow DeMar DeRozan to defend smaller wings, leaving tougher assignments for the more adept Carroll to tangle with on a nightly basis.

Russell Westbrook manages to get his team the playoffs. The reason why this important is because his team is a really under average team in the in the toughest conference which is the western conference. This player has put on an incredible performance this season. He has

While this is a team moving to a new city that recently hired a new head coach, there are several intriguing defensive pieces for Bradley to work with.

The 76ers will already improve with a lottery pick(Jahlil Okafor) starting for them next year. Jahlil Okafor was the third pick in the 2015 NBA draft and many consider him to be a potential All-Star. Pairing him with Nerlens Noel, who had an impressive rookie season, would give the Sixers a formidable frontcourt. They have the potential to be the next dynamic front court duo, similar to Tim Duncan and David Robinson.

With second-year coach Frank Vogel at the helm, the Magic are expected to push the tempo and play a faster pace of basketball, something that fits Gordon skill set. Last season Gordon mostly played small forward while averaging 12.7 points. This year he’s expected to play more power forward, this will allow him to have a speed advantage over slower defenders.

The Heat brought back 11 players from last season and is hoping to build off of the second half of last season 30-11 record success.

The article written by Bruce Jenkins starts off by saying that the regular season of the Warriors was a “bumbling mess”. This article was written to be read generally by the people of San Francisco and Warriors fans. The Warriors went from a historic 73-9 record in the 2016 season, to a 67-15 record in the 2017 season, and a recent 58-24 record in the 2018 season. At the beginning of the article, Bruce talks about factors that have led to the teams bumpy season like not having a reliable center. He says that the team has reached a point to where the team’s centers are not feared by any postseason opponent. Towards the end of the article, Bruce talks about the future of the team and things to consider. He talks about possible matchups and how the team isn’t ready defensively to play, even if Stephen Curry is on the court. With the article discussing the Warriors’ downward spiral, the article uses the devices of ethos, logos, and pathos.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Your post caught my attention and I started trying to think of reasons or the thought process behind the defining of the boundary areas we are discussing this week. I can totally see what you mean about being surprised the Atlantic Periphery not include Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island when you look at the map of the region. Perhaps, the reasoning for why they are not included relates to the significance that Boston has played in the growth and development of US history. The location of Connecticut and Rhode Island in regards to the rest of the Megalopolis region could be why they are included as well. Their economies could be more dependent on tourism or by acting as bedroom communities

Once the emigrants were aboard the ships that would take them to their new home, they had to make the most of what was available to them. The ships of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries would take several months to reach their destinations, depending on the weather. This meant that supplies had to be rationed and even then, emigrants might have had to try and buy food from the crew members on the ships. Even if an emigrant were wealthy enough to obtain a cabin for himself and or his family, the living conditions were still not very pleasant. With these conditions in mind it is unlikely that passengers could have performed any religious rites or ceremonies, such as communion, if such a time came or if a religious
