I don't like the direction the C's are going in. I can deal with the Al retread, but Kantor is a clown. And Fornier was a mistake from minute one. Grant Williams....nuff said. We just seem like we're in 2nd tier purgatory.

My favorite place out here is Lake Livingston (I do go back to both CA and France often) but spending and spending even if I have it seems stupid when I can go help people, I only go to matches/games when it suits me, way more important shit to do.

By chance ended up in Vegas for work. Asked my kiddo if he wanted to tag along so we went to the game. Pritchard shot about 90% pregame warmups. We knew they’d lock him up with Mitchell, but fuck. 30 turnovers and 30 pt loss.

Yes, the Kings! I knew it was an LA team..lol
The Christmas Day game will be ridiculous for sure and not worth it. I wonder how much how much ticket prices will go up this year. No doubt there be some new COVID fee to add on.

I was just reading in NBA news that The Raptors are trying for Ben Simmons! No details about who we'd have to give up to get him. Probably Pascal, OG and/or Van Vleet.
Maybe The Sixers weren't the right fit for him, but Ben Simmons doesn't seem all that impressive to me. Sure, he has his moments but I dunno if it would be worth it to give up some of our best guys.

So looking like Rondo is coming back so:
Bazemore
Howard
Ariza
Ellington
Rondo
All back in the Purple Armor should be an interesting team, lots of experience and I like the fact they can experiment with the line ups a bit and that Rondo can run the second unit when Russ and Bron sit should keep them fresh since it will be a full 82 games and spaced out like a normal season again

For all of his faults Dwight will play thru pain and takes care of himself, AD is an other world talent but he just has that injury bug and will not pull a Kobe and try to stay in with a torn Achilles it is what it is, I hope with a full off season he put in that work I mean I just did this and I'm not even a world class athlete

Kyrie Irving drama already regarding vaccine status..
He said privacy is the reason he won't disclose but when he's injured or undergoes team physicals this information is not private. I'm sure there's something in the NBA contracts regarding medical/health status. Sure, it's his choice not to be vaccinated but he won't be able to play home games or games in cities which have mandatory vaccines. Way to let the team and fans down.

Fun pre-season game tonight, SR.
I forgot that Brad Stevens is no longer the coach.
My guys are so young and skinny.
