All day I've had to remind myself it is not Thursday, which means that tomorrow is going to be incredibly disappointing when it is not, in fact, Friday.

Bud was the best. Great guy.

I had to look it up because I remember him killing us. Not only did he hit a team-high 13 triples, but he did so while shooting a team-best 38.2%.

Giannis finished the series +10, while Brogdon led the team at a +38. He murdered us.

Whether it happens this year or in the future, Brogdon will be on an NBA coaching staff whenever he wants to give it a go.

Westrbook, DeRozan, and LaVine and certainly 3 players than can physically be on the court at the same time. Yup.

I know it's to be expected, as fans will naturally gravitate towards a rookie once he's on their team, but it's been very enjoyable to see just how quickly many Raptors' fans went from "It would make no sense to pick CMB" to true adoration and respect. He's won people over very fast.

TV shows should have warnings at the beginning if the episode involves a doorbell or a smoke alarm so my dog doesn't lose her damn mind.

Also, ban doorbells in commercials. Criminal offence.

When I was engagement ring shopping (16 years ago) I remember a couple where the man said, "I think I still like the other one better." And he received a harsh-toned response of "Of course you do, that one is only $8,000."

What would happen if Battle got the same green light as Gradey?

Knicks held onto this pettiness for 2 solid years, and I'm sure they are hoping people just forget about it.

Good week for Toronto beating New York.
