The round of 32: Flip shot region.
So there is how the matchups shake out for the flip shot region in the Russ Madness Tournament.
1) Flip Shot vs 9) Waving Goodbye to Joel…In Philly!: It is no surprise that the number one overall seed advanced, but the nine seed knocking off the 8th seed was a tiny bit surprising. Especially when that 8th seed was an incredible bounce pass between the legs of Raptors on a fast break.
2) Game 4 of 2016 WCF vs 7) High fiving his brother on the sideline of WCF: This is a titian vs titan matchup that I can not wait to see how it pans out.
3) Half Court game-tying shot vs Orlando vs 6) Clint Capela Dunk: In a tournament that has already seen nine upsets, I think this will be our tenth, folks. While the Orlando shot was amazing (Obviously, I ranked it as a three seed) that Capela Dunk was insane.
4) Russ’ pre-game runs across court vs 5) Thon Maker Dunk: Again, another upset, While everyone will remember his pre-game cross-court run towards the crowd, the high flying slam over Thon Maker will be on every highlight mixtape of Westbrook’s career.
My Predictions:
Flip Shot, High fiving his brother, Capela Dunk, Maker Dunk.
