The NBA

Wow, this firefighter singing the national anthem brought me to tears. Very beautiful.

This could have been a decent format but who the hell would know it when you get 32 minutes worth of game time in a three-hour broadcast? 😠

Other than Mac McClung winning 3 in a row in that Dunk Contest (😊) & the TNT broadcast being enjoyable (except for Kevin Hart unfunny annoying ass), that All Star Weekend basically sucked. The format sucked, but it was tolerable because it was on TNT. Its going to really suck when NBC & Amazon are broadcasting All Star Weekend in Los Angeles next season. Hell, I couldn't even remotely remember who won the 3 Point shooting contest & the Skills competition on Saturday Night.. 

I also didn't know that LeBron didn't play last night because of his left ankle soreness. I didn't even remotely care that LeBron didn't play it all. BTW, his left ankle is just a little sore & its nothing to worry about. I just wish that he was more quiet about it. Unfortunately, its going to pour more gasoline into that very stupid, tiresome, loathsome, & brain rotting inducing GOAT - Legacy dumpster fire. 

It also sucked that Steph was MVP again last night. But, I'm sure that ESPN was very happy that their favorite "manly man" got the MVP in that sucky ho-hum format. Also, Draymond was very confident last night in predicting that those Warriors are going to win it all. That is not going to happen & I should be irritated that he did that. But, I'm OK with that because its Draymond being Draymond. It'll be very different if it came from Steph.

The All Star Break is finally over, thank god. The 2nd half starts tonight with 9 games with the main games being Celtics - 76ers & Suns - Spurs on TNT. 

The Lakers lost to the Hornets last night 100-97. It was basically a ho-hu type of game. BTW, LeBron got 26 points & his ankle seems OK. The Lakers play the sorry Trail Blazers tonight & then play the Nuggets on Saturday Night on ABC. With Luka being on the team & getting himself into shape, maybe they can finally beat the Nuggets for a change with Luka's help.

Edit: Here is some bad news. Just found out that Wemby is done for the rest of the season with a DVT (a blood clot) on his right shoulder.

So very sorry to hear about Victor Wembanyama and the blood clot.  I hope he will be all right.

That sucks about Wemby.  Better to be shutdown for 2025, but the well being is more important.
