I'm always impressed that you have these ready to go and posted immediately after the game.

Nice job!
 
So I'm rooting for Pelicans to beat Spurs tomorrow. That'll knock us down to 6th. But then a win against Minnesota moves us into tie with Spurs for 4th and only a half game out of third. I really see us winning these next two games. We're at home and Dame refuses to let us lose.
 
Oh and Butler being out is no excuse for Minnesota. Wilcox is out for us too.
I like your takes when it's obvious they're a joke! I hate when I have to wonder if they are or not.
 
My Rec League championship got moved to Thursday. So I'm selling two discounted tickets for this game. If anyone's interested, message me.
