March Madness 2014 - The Official DP Bracket

Another March, another year in completing an NCAA bracket, hoping to guess the outcome correctly. Despite the trivial pools, bracket-guessing, and basketball-flux that is the next two weeks, I'm actually looking forward to this year's tournament.

With plenty of NBA propsects littered throughout the tournament (of course my Knicks don't have a draft pick this year, because, well, when do we ever have picks to you know, build a future?!), there will be plenty of reasons to watch and be entertained.

With that said, here is the official Dome Pondering Bracket for 2014:

Knicks Trauma - Ugh Not Again

Well, that was a kick in the stomach. Coming off a week where the word "catharsis" was used as the description for the euphoria and release of joy from two and a half decades of suffering, Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Indiana Pacers brought about another word - trauma. Watching the Knicks collapse was the kind of moments that come with these deep runs and moments. NBA Playoff basketball will do that. Yet, this loss - this one - feels about as bad as the 2004 ALCS when the Yankees collapsed in the series to the Boston Red Sox. That one carries some serious trauma. Luckily, the series isn't over. Some other quick thoughts from this awful, awful night, New York Knicks Basketball. - Not to conjure up hyperbole, or even contribute to "hot take" sports reaction culture - but this might have been the worst loss in Knicks franchise history. I cannot think of another in my lifetime, or historically. - Tyrese Haliburton's "choke"...

Knicks Back in ECF Causing Catharsis

I've certainly shared my emotions and thoughts regarding the New York Knicks on this site over the years. There have been plenty of those to sort through - most of them are rants. Tonight, the New York Knicks ultimately destroyed the Boston Celtics in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals, 119-81. I sat on my couch, afraid to allow myself to feel joy until that final buzzer. As a Knicks fan, I've been through too much to allow myself to do anything else, to make any assumption, until it was final. Until it was confirmed. Until something couldn't fall through...the way we're used to. Once it was final, it was unreal. The New York Knicks are in the Eastern Conference Finals. For the first time since 2000. I was 15 years old the last time that happened. And that was a run with a squad that I consider (still) to be my favorite Knicks team of all-time. I sat on my couch with all sorts of feelings. My wife was likely trying to understand the moment. My son, exci...
