Okay
Just when you think you’ve heard it all you hear one more thing. The Warriors have in place a $100 Building Entry Pass to all games at Oracle Arena. Sounds great except for the fine print, you are NOT entitled to a seat or a view of the game. Bars, restaurants and other areas containing television sets you are gladly welcomed. This is not now and forever you must purchase the pass every month for the duration of the NBA season. One guy stated, “For $100 a month I’d rather watch a game from the comfort of my couch.” Even more interesting I discovered Jerry Jones has a similar program in place at AT&T Stadium. The difference in Dallas you have access to view the game.

Playoff teams
What if I told you the Lakers are a playoff team and the Rockets were not. It’s true, if the playoffs were to begin tomorrow the Rockets would miss the cut. This is almost unbelievable; a hamstring was all that kept them from beating the Warriors in the playoffs last season. This season although just starting finds the Rockets failing to launch (LOL). Gone from last year are Trevor Ariza and Luc Mbah a Moute, added this season Carmelo Anthony.

Sometimes
there are players who are “glue”
guys, they do all the dirty work. They
rebound the basketball play tough hard-nosed defense, they dive on the floor
for loose balls. Once those players are
missing its difficult to replace them, on top of that issue is the Carmelo
factor. As this is written all kinds of
reports are circulating the Rockets are about to buy him out. The end appears near for Carmelo as for the
Rockets there remains time. If they are
playing at this level in the middle of December……well.
He might have been
the first
The Chicago Bulls were born in 1966 an NBA expansion team. As with most expansion teams losing became common place until Dick Motta was hired as head coach. Motta installed his system along with personnel changes allowing the Bulls to become competitive. After playing at Southern University Bob Love was drafted by the Cincinnati Royals where he played sparingly, he was selected by the Bucks who would trade him to the Bulls. In the 1969-70 season he became the Bulls starting forward. Love would be selected an All-Star 3X and earn All-Defensive second team the same number. 1977 was his last NBA season and was spent as a member of the Sonics then retirement and a secret would come to light.

Love had a stuttering speech issue, how it could exist
without anyone reaching out is still a mystery.
In any event this caused Love to hold menial employment after
retirement, he was washing dishes at a point.
The owner of the restaurant seeing his dilemma paid for Love to attend
speech therapy classes. In 1993 he
returned to the Bulls as director of community relations. He remains a motivational speaker today
detailing his struggles with speech. As
for his prowess on the basketball court he’s lost in the history. Bob (Butterbean) Love might have been the
first Bulls All-Star, Michael Jordan wouldn't arrive until 1984.
Say something stupid
I’ve got an advantage, if I say something stupid my circle is quite small. Likely it might soon be forgotten. The same does not apply to members of the media, we don’t know at this point if Kristaps Porzingis will recover. This we do know he could at one-point play basketball better than Stephen A. Smith declared. Rookie Trae Young’s Hawks lost by one point to the Lakers, his potential winning basket was blocked by Tyson Chandler.

Young finished the game with 20 points and 12 assists, many
of his long-range shots were from distance.
Must I remind you again, okay here is the story again. Local radio guy looks at Young while the
youngster was at Oklahoma, decides he can’t play because the Sooners are on a
losing streak. If we look strictly at
the numbers Young is second in the NBA in rookie scoring. Luka Doncic is ahead of Young by just a few
points. Allow Porzingis, Young and
anyone else to at least attempt play in the NBA before deciding they can’t
play.
