I'm actually watching game 7. It's been a good series.

GoPacersGo!
So close. You inflicted the Curse of the Cubs upon them. :(

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton exits Game 7 with Achilles injury

Bummer. Long recovery and effed up vacation plans.
It's all my fault. :crybaby:

I'm sorry.
I don't blame you for the injury, just the heartbreak.

It's the Pacers.

They really didn't need my help, they haven't won an NBA championship in almost 60 years.

Luka Doncic sets Lakers record with 92 points in 1st 2 games

Any Lakers record is something to marvel at.
... Luka Doncic scored 49 points in the Lakers' 128-110 win over the Timberwolves on Friday -- shattering Jerry West's 56-year franchise record of 81 points scored through the first two games of a season ...

And Doncic was the constant, becoming the first player in Lakers history with consecutive 40-point games to start a season and just the fourth in NBA history, joining Anthony Davis, Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain....
That's a helluva foursome. :-|| :-||

Speaking of odds,
Josh Giddey scores 32 for undefeated Bulls in win vs. Knicks

The Bulls are the lone undefeated team remaining in the Eastern Conference, improving to 5-0 for the first time since the 1996-97 season with a 135-125 victory over the Knicks on Friday night.

It's only the third time in franchise history that the Bulls have started a season this fast, but not since the days of Michael Jordan has Chicago found itself undefeated at this point of a season....

Speaking of odd ;) , have you seen this? ESPN:
30 for 30
S4.E1
Rodman: For Better or Worse

Episode aired Sep 10, 2019, TV-G, 1h 42m

IMDb RATING
7.6/10

The unfettered and definitive look at the life and career of Dennis Rodman.
Well made. Sympathetic, balanced and thorough. I learned a lot that I didn't from the 30 for 30 doc on the Bulls. :clap:

First games 3/19. Official Bracket is not set yet. I'm not doing a private pool, but maybe I'll make Yahoo! or ESPN picks just so I have some skin in the game until I'm busted in the first round. You?

Naa, but I'll offer up a "Dook!" Once the 'Canes go down. It would be nice to see some upsets but I didn't bother with a bracket.
