If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.

The Philadelphia 76ers’ Joel Embiid Says He’s Still Working His Way Back From Covid-19
https://www.bigblueunbiased.com/the-...-covid-19/amp/“I would never use it as an excuse, but clearly I believe it’s going to take me a long to come back, particularly legs and cardio and all that stuff,” Embiid said after going 3-for-17 against Boston, bringing his season total to 7-for-33 in Philadelphia’s last two games. “But I have to keep working hard and becoming better every day.”
* Attended the 1990 and 2010 Reds Division clinchers *
Go 76ers, Go Steelers and Go Bucks
It’s tough for these athletes that get bad covid cases. Jayson Tatum looked awful for a long time last season. Myles Garrett basically wasn’t the same the entire rest of the season after he came back.

Blazers fire Neil Olshey - https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/...ns-neil-olshey. Olshey 100% deserved to go for basketball reasons. It's looking like that franchise is heading for some rough years. Yet they've done it in the scummiest way possible, trumping up charges that he violated the team's code of conduct in order to get out of paying the remainder of his contract.

I got to watch some of the Blazers tonight, and they're awful. If Dame can come back and do Dame things, he might be able to carry them, but the situation is dire. CJ is not right. Nurkic plays like he's fossilized. Covington, Powell and Nance are role players who look like they have no idea what their role is. The new GM will have work to do and part of that might be getting a new coach, because Chauncey Billups looks way over his head.

Watching the Cavs regularly for the first time in years (I am fair weather, yes) and they look absolutely legit. Nasty, nasty, nasty defensive team.

They're on a torrid streak at the moment (four straight wins). They really threw the clamps on Miami last week. Can't help but notice how much better they are without Collin Sexton. Darius Garland in particular seems like he's a different player without Sexton soaking up the usage so he can take low percentage shots.

Watched part of the Rockets - Pelicans game.
That's 20 minutes I'll never get back.
Woof.
I can't tell if Christian Wood is a good player bad team guy or a bad team someone has to do it guy.
Anyone?
Went to the Cavs Jazz game today. Fun game. Jazz took a 15 point lead in the 4th, the Cavs stormed back to tie it and the Jazz ended up winning by 1 after Garland missed.
Watching Gobert live is pretty cool. What he does to effect shots and position himself for rebounds is just special. Mitchell has also gotten really good at getting to the rim and finishing different ways.
For the Cavs it’s really cool to see Garlands progress. He’s a completely different guy from 2 years ago. Mobley has a great feel for the game. He made some excellent passes to get guys lay ups that most rookies don’t see.
Crowd was good too. They really like this team.
