Fred did not hold back! My wife has mentioned more than once this year that Ben Taylor is the worst ref in the league. Guess she's not the only one with that opinion.

Three years ago today. Most bizarre thing I ever witnessed as it unfolded live on TV. Utah Jazz vs OKC game is postponed just prior to tipoff. No one knew why. Then it came out that Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID. Then starting the next day the world changed that hopefully we never have to revisit.

That definitely got everyone's attention.

Fred was not doing hyperbole when he mentioned most of his T's were from Taylor. 5 of his 8 Technicals this year happened in games from Taylor.

I was surprised he only got a $30,000 fan - thought he might have deserved a suspension of a game to be honest even if there was some truth.

Most of the frustration came from the night before (Denver) when it was the one or two games each team has a year that they really appeared to get jobbed by bad calls -- or "I am the star" refs.

Are there rumors I can see about what’s going on with Wiggins?

Such a yenta.

What’s the deal with Jayson Tatum? Another poor game tonight.

With Providence in the news, I've always been a big Kris Dunn fan. And I was a big Otis Thorpe fan.

GOODBYE TO THE GREAT WILLIS REED-

Willis Reed, legendary Knicks Hall of Famer, dead at 80

As a 13YO rabid Knicks fan, what Willis did in Game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals is my most emotional, inspirational, and amazing experience following sports.

After a Game 6 loss, the Knicks faced impending doom without The Captain.
Knicks fans were in despair, dealing with the mystery of whether Willis could go in Game 7.
The pregame drama, waiting and wondering was unbearable.
Not to worry -an amazing memory I will always cherish.

Willis will always be my hero, and role model for the meaning of courage and leadership.

Nasty looking injury to Paul George last night. That hurt to watch.

Looks like he avoided an ACL tear and it was just a hyperextension.

Yeah, just heard they’re calling it a sprain I believe.

They said the same thing about Leonard. He’s done. Not going to win a title with this group.
