Stephen Curry and Lebron James are set to face off against each other in the Play-In Tournament tonight at 10 pm EST.

There has been much talk and questions on whether Steph Curry and his Golden State Warriors can upset the defending champion Lebron James and the Los Angeles Lakers. In all honesty and transparency, there is much indication that the 3 time champion can pull it off.

Stephen Curry is having a career season, averaging 32 points on an extremely depleted Warriors team without its second best player in Klay Thompson, who is still recoveing from an ACL tear he sustained during the 2018-2019 NBA Finals, and an Achilles tear when prepping for the season.

As a result, Steph Curry has been the sole star to "man the fort" for the Golden State Warriors this season. The second best player on his team is Andrew Wiggins. Wiggins is a more than serviceable player that can give you 20 points in a given night. However, he is no where near the skill level of Klay Thompson. So it has, more or less, been Steph Curry keeping the team in contention throughout this shortened NBA season.

In a best of seven playoff series, it is generally agreed that Lebron James and the Lakers would edge out Steph Curry and the Warriors. In a team to team comparison, the Lakers are easily the better team this season. They have arguably the best player in the league with Lebron , a top ten player in Anthony Davis and a serviceable supporting cast like Kyle Kuzma, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope , and Alex Caruso. As stated before, the Warriors have little to no one aside from Steph Curry.

However, this isnt a best of seven playoff series, this is a winner take all. The winner of this game will take the 7th seed in the playoffs to face the Phoenix Suns in the Playoffs. And honestly, if it is a matter of winning just one game, it is not inconceivable for Steph Curry to take his game to another level to beat Lebron James and the Lakers. Stephen Curry is built in that way.

Only tonight will tell and it is certain to be Hardwood Classic for the record books.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

What It’s Like To Be A Strong Woman, As Told By Blair Waldorf

Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
