Tuesday night, vs. Memphis. Then if they lose that, Friday vs. Sacramento or Dallas.

The Grizzlies have been in a tailspin, so IMO they should win that. Then honestly, going against the inexperienced Rockets would not be the worst matchup. Actually would pretty interesting to see veteran vs. youth in a playoff series there. At this point I think Steph and Draymond are too old to actually win another title, so you just want to see an entertaining run.

The first deals set the parameters, I hope they're very good. But how to enforce China not using them as a backdoor access?

That was an amazing game yesterday!

Steph with 36 and Curry with 30. Kawhi with 33 and Harden with 39.
Really had the intensity of a playoff game!

And I can see above in a previous quote that someone on my ignore list says "the NBA sucks"
Well, that's why he's on my ignore list.

He probably thinks college football should go back to having one platoon playing both offense and defense and having lineman kicking a fat rugby ball at a 60% rate on extra points.

How about college football going back to players not transferring every year or making 6/7 figures under the pretense of being students.

Been to Eugene many a time for NCAA Track & Field (before) they built the new Euro stadium for $200 million.
Had tickets for the World Championships IN 2022, bailed at the last minute.

Was at the 2012 Olympic Trials with my buddy who was coaching former Cal vaulter Allison Stokke.
Got to see Oregon's Ashton Eaton break the world record in the Decathlon.
And spent a half hour talking with Bruce Jenner in the lobby of our hotel.
His stories from '72 in Munich when he roomed with Prefontaine
were amazing!

My favorite sport too.
Truly a special place!

I don't know 09. But I do have an epic story …not quite Albany Bowling level but fun nonetheless. Involved fiat of all people. Hope he's still around . It's out there somewhere
Not to nitpick but instead of "is" I would use "are". Learned that in subject A

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Wednesday that his state will file a lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump's authority to impose sweeping tariffs that have set off a global trade war.

Good luck with that. Fifteen trade deals allegedly close to completion.

Is Newsom taking care of LA, thinning forests, solving drug use (homelessness), filling reservoirs, and pushing Sites Reservoir?

Well, I'm glad that someone has the balls to file such a lawsuit.

Trump is using Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and the International Economic Emergency Powers Act (IEEPA) of 1977 as a basis to levy these tariffs.
No other president has done this and it should be challenged in court.

CA makes up 14% of our nation's GDP.

Bruce Jenner told us in the lobby of the Hotel late one night in Eugene during the 2012 Olympic Trials when my buddy and I came back from dinner and drinks that when he was roommates with Pre and 400m Silver Medalist Wayne Collett, Pre would be out at the clubs all night long and come back to their room at 5am during the 1972 Munich Games.

Pre would take a shower and then head out for a 10k run and come back, take another shower and head for breakfast. His roommates (Jenner and Collette) would be just getting up.

lol

NOTE:

On the victory podium, Vince Matthews (Gold) and Wayne Collett (Silver) talked to each other and failed to stand at attention during the medal ceremony. On the advice of Avery Brundage, the International Olympic Committee banned them from further competition. Since the third American competitor, John Smith, had pulled a hamstring while leading 80 metres into the final and had been ruled unfit to run, the United States were left unable to field a 4 x 400 relay team, and were thus forced to scratch from the event.

Matthews: 44.66
Collette: 44.80

Collett, bare-footed, leaped from the No. 2 tier to the No. 1 stand beside his teammate. They stood sideways to the flag, twirling their medals, with Matthews stroking his chin. Their shoulders slumped, neither stood erect nor looked at the flag. ... As whistles and catcalls continued, Collett raised a clenched fist to the crowd before entering the portal of the dressing room.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_Matthews_(athlete)#cite_note-3][3][/url]

Matthews said his and Collett's actions were directed at the U.S. coaching staff, not the flag or the National Anthem. "We were just mad about a lot of things. We didn't think it would blow up like this. We were asked to apologize. I'm not really sorry for what I did. I'm sorry for the way people took it [hoots and whistles from the stands when the anthem finished]. What I tried to get across to the Olympic Committee was if it was pre-meditated I could have done something better than that. It was just something that happened. We didn't realize the implications to the people in the stands.

However, in an interview after the medal ceremony with the American Broadcasting Company, Collett said the national anthem meant nothing to him.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_Matthews_(athlete)#cite_note-MJ-6][6][/url] He explained that he had felt unable to honor the anthem because of the struggle faced by African Americans at the time: "I couldn't stand there and sing the words because I don't believe they're true. I wish they were. I believe we have the potential to have a beautiful country, but I don't think we do."
