Only time I had pleasure of seeing Micheal Ray live was w/absolutely ridiculous '87-88 Albany Patroons, who went 48-6 in CBA w/NBA All-Star (Sugar) + 2 more NBA guards (Sid Lowe/Scotty Brooks) + NBA 20 ppg scorer (Tony Campbell) & coached by mad genius Bill Musselman. RIP Sugar

The League is back. Rejoice.

RIP D'Angelo. I acquired the Voodoo CD via a Kozmo. com delivery in Jan. 2000. It's been my #1 record of the 21st century ever since.

The Soultronics band he led was one of the greatest live bands in human history. www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4XI...

Really can't comprehend that Miikka Muurinen was out there dropping huge 4th-quarter buckets in one of the biggest upsets in EuroBasket history... and yet is ranked #15 in Class of '26 prep rankings....

Bit shocking to see Serbia -14 w Jokic ON vs +2 OFF in last 2 Ls.

Gotta say he seemed off his game. Sengun flat outplayed him.

Yes he scored well, but passing wasn't sharp, didn't control boards (SRB -19 in last 2), didn't get back on D several times & shooting 5s really hurt SRB.

[whispers] Butler is a more impactful pickup than Durant would've been.

HUBIE 4EVER!!!

Picking the Chiefs to win, and I think the MVP will be Spags.

Thought this was absolutely spot on in nailing the top 4 - Prince, U2, Beyonce, LA Hip-Hop - that rank above all others, regardless of how personal preference may slot them in specifically:

I love NBA trade deadline, you love deadline, everybody loves deadline.

And it's unquestionably been a boon to NBA this yr, w/all the stolen headlines during Super Bowl week.

It just feels kind of...odd...to play 2/3 of a season, then ~15% of players change teams & finish a sort-of new season....

USC v Notre Dame. Juju Watkins & co v Hannah Hidalgo & co in a big-time WCBK matchup at the Galen Center.

Absolutely crazy sports weekend in LA:
*NFL: PHI-LAR SNF / BAL-LAC MNF
*CFB: USC-UCLA Sat
*NBA: SAC-LAC Fri / DEN-LAL Sat
*WCBK: #6 ND-#3 USC Sat / #1 SoCar-#5 UCLA Sun
*MLS: LAFC/Galaxy both hosting Quarters

Maybe it's Week 1 irrational exuberance, but I have a tough time seeing how (with reasonable health) either the Celtics or the Thunder lose more than 15 games. #nba

I expect SA will again be my no. 1 League Pass team on the strength of Wemby alone, w HOU right there with them. Grizzlies, Hawks, maybe Hornets could all have some LP friskiness. Indy too, if Hali is fully back in pace-pushing form.

I think…Shai will win MVP, PHX will win a lot of RS games w BudBall, Embiid’s (lack of) health will sink 76ers, DEN won't win a playoff series & GS is being underestimated & could be v good if Draymond can stay on the floor/Kerr can play the right guys (2 BIG ifs, I know).

Joining chorus of picking BOS over OKC. As much as I get Parity Era talk, esp w/CBA creeping closer to de facto hard cap, I do find it funny at this moment, w Boston having best chance to repeat since KD-era Dubs & OKC very well set up to embark on a dynastic run (hello LAC pick)

It's official: red, white and blue smoke rising above the Sixers training facility in Camden indicates that Daryl Morey has completed his audit of Game 2 and declared the Philly-NYK series now tied at 1-1. #nba

Mr Watson, come here: It's the day of the Playoffs - WOW-WOW-WOW! #nba
