Anything like Night Court?

 

Wait until you see OKC's. They've moved their games to Boise State.

 

Thank you for reminding me of Markie Post in her prime.

 

My god, that Denver court is an abortion on toast.

 

Warriors pull another one out with .02 left on the clock.

So does this mean OKC is headed to the NIT?

 

That was a very entertaining game to watch; Imma gonna credit the in season tournament for making it more competitive. Come at me.

 

I don't know of the tourney will inspire the players more - limit the load management, but I do think fans will be more enthused, which in turn might inspire the players a bit more - along with the cash.

 

This is a good primer on the in-season tourney. I'm all for leagues trying shit. Some things will work, or eventually lead to things that will work. Other things won't. MLB's rules changed worked, and will probably lead to more.

Ultimately, this is about money (as all things are). But if an ancillary benefit for the in-season tournament is more stars playing more often and harder (like the 65-game minimum to be award-eligible), then try it.

Clips are playing Harden and Westbrook together; I was actually wondering about that.

They opened with Harden-Westbrook-George-Leonard-Zubac. And Ivica Zubac must feel like he just hit the Daily Number.

 

Anthony Davis questionable to return with menstrual cramps.

 

All I know, at my age, if I have a spasm of my groin, I need a sleep and a few hours to recover before I can have any second half action.

Which is fine. My wife needs some recovery too.
