Really fun night for me in the Association

The Dubs hung on in NoCal agin’ DETritus 113-109, which would have been a five-alarmer had they lost.

In SoCal however but, there is a wildfire. The 9 mms came in and double-barreled La-La Lake-Lake 127-113. In a town where perception is as much reality, where you have both to succeed and be stylish, the Lakies are doing neither and Big Ham doesn't get it. AP for ESPN:

...Ham praised his team’s areas of improvement while expressing a curious frustration with the public reception of their recent struggles.

“This is the NBA, man. This is a marathon. You have to look at the totality of the picture. I’m tired of people living and dying with every single game we play. It’s ludicrous, actually. It’s like, ‘Come on, man. This is a marathon.’ We hit a tough stretch. It’s the same team. We played some high-level games a little while ago, and we’ve just got to get back to that. We’ve got to keep the fight, though. We cannot lose our fight.”

LBJ:

“That [the Silver Cup] was just two games, though. That was a small sample. Everybody is getting so cracked up about Vegas, keep bringing up Vegas. It was two games. We took care of that business … but that was really just two games.”

There's that disconnect thing agayne. Hambone is Clueless.

Hope Trumpie made it to South Philly and out safely last night 😁.
