Well, the young lady that sung Oh Canada did a good job.

Chaka Khan with the Star Spangled Banner......not so good.

No word on if she asked for a second date.

I just turned on the Celtics game.  Apparently Romeo got the start tonight.

So, the 49ers went from 4 wins last year to the Super Bowl this season.  

Which team can pull of something similar next season?

Falcons? Bears?

I see no candidates from the AFC.

When you guys start comparing their butts, I'm signing off.

Dakich and the Knight family can’t stand each other.  Don’t think that can ever be patched up.

Wait.  Are you telling me there are people in the world that don't like Dakich?  I'm floored.

The P’s have the third best record since sometime in November. They have a solid deep team. If Vic comes back well i do think they’ll make some noise, regardless, well set up for next season. 

Side note - does anyone actually like auto-correct? Every time I type well it converts to we’ll and “does” goes to dies lol (and just now when I typed dies it converted to dues). 😑

When I type 'Suck Squad' it auto corrects to 'Purdue'

I was correct.  It is New Albany night.

Per Brad Stevens, Romeo should be active for tonights game in Indy.

You have to think that Stevens is smart enough to put him in for at least 3-4 minutes in the first half to see how he does.  I think it's actually 'New Albany' night at Banker's life.  The 'home' crowd could be just the thing that gets Romeo's lost season going.  

Suffered a season-ending knee injury in practice this week.

150-101 Clippers over Hawks

PG 37 points in 20 min. Crazy 

edit - it was actually in 18 min

his 37 in under 21 min is the most in NBA history 

He's the GOAT.  

I don't get the Celtics recalling Romeo just to have him sit on the bench.  I shrugged off the first game, thinking maybe he wasn't there yet for the shoot-around or something.  But, last night he still does not play.  Head scratcher for sure.

Dropped 53 spots to #132 in 247’s composite rankings yesterday. Still #89 in 247’s Rankings and #77 on Rivals.

ESPN’s rankings are what caused the drop, have him listed as a three star.

If he would have committed to Duke, he would have went up 53 spots.

Question for Gleas - what’s the point from the C’s pov of calling Langford back to have him sit on the bench, only Boston player with no playing time in the game? 

Jet lag coming in from Maine.  

Gordon Hayward breaks his hand.  Wonder if Romeo will get called back up.

Quad, not calf.  Slightly (sarcasm) more critical and painful than a calf injury. 

I don't know.  His quad is heavily wrapped, but he does not appear to be in too much discomfort.

What do you guys think about Kawhi's "load management" this early in the year -- 8 games in, already 2 missed games, both against key opponents?

I'm generally good with load management, in limited amounts as the 82-game schedule wears on -- though it puts fans who have bought tickets to see the star(s) play in a bad spot -- and the Clips have been determined to be in compliance with the NBA's policy/rules in place in the 2 games Kawhi has already missed, but man, it's 8 games in, and the games were pretty big games, especially last night's game against Greek Freak. The Clips got the bye from the League as load management for Kawhi's knee. A general statement about it, with no details. I haven't seen any indication his knee is actually injured, though I really don't know what the deal is.

Just strikes me as ridiculous that we're talking load management 8 games in. 

NBA is going to lose young fans if people buy tickets to games and the players they go to watch don't play.

I personally am sweating out a legit injury circumstance.  My 13 year old daughter is a big GS fan, specifically Curry and Thompson.  She put in a request last year for tickets to a Pacers/Warriors game, but the Warriors had already made their trip to Indy.

 I told her I would make it a Christmas present for this season.  Since that time, Klay goes down in the playoffs with an ACL.  Good news when the schedule came out and the game in Indy is in March, so we thought Klay may have had a chance to be back.  But, even if he was out,  at the time we still had Curry.

So, I bought the tickets the day they went on sale.  Shortly after, we find out Klay most likely will not be back, the Warriors suck, and now Curry goes down.  

Her position now is, since Klay won't be playing, if Curry doesn't, she does not even want to go.  Problem is, even if Curry is back, the Warriors will likely be giving him 'rest' days periodically since there is very likely no playoff implications to worry about.

It sucks for young fans, but at least in my case, these are legit injuries.  If I bought my daughter tickets for the one game she wanted more than anything, only to have her favorite players to sit for 'rest', I would be beyond pissed.

Romeo being assigned to G League Celtics team (Red Claws). Probably to get some reps would be my guess. Not sure if this is normal or just normal for player recovering from injury.

Not surprising since he got no time in the 2 games he dressed (14 seconds, but you get my point).  He's not ready to contribute and it would stunt his development if he were to continue to not get off the bench.

Eric Gordon only shooting 28% from the field so far this season.

Ja Morant will be a better NBA player than Zion. I am biased since he played at my Alma Mater, but the kid is legit.

Curious as to how you came to be an IU fan if you live in Kentucky and went to Murray State.   

I have not watched any Pacers games yet this season.  But, I know what I saw the previous two seasons, and that was a team that fit together perfectly.  Totally uneducated guess here. but the team chemistry has to be lacking compared to the last two years.

Both Cody and Romeo are out tonight.
