I decided to drive across country to see my hometown “Los Angeles” Angels play a home game again, because the the greatest baseball ever that nobody in LA has ever heard of was pitching. As a newly converted angels super-fan I am just so perplexed as to why this guy isn’t on every billboard and every ad in town. There should be a video playing at LAX if him welcoming tourists to LA “home of the Los Angeles Angels”. He should be a household name, like Jordan, LeBron, Tiger, and Tyson….

…but at the game I learn that he’s probably going to be traded this week, or else the Angels will lose him for nothing…

…When I used to think of inept franchise management, Dolan was always the first thing that popped to mind, but in the past few hours the Angel’s front office/marketing dept may have surpassed even the Knicks standard for suckitude.

BTW ‘sup good people. I’m getting a couple more puffs in at the cigar lounge right now while the wife has the baby boy out at the mall. 8pm PST starts my evening “shift” with him which involves getting him out the bath or shower, getting his bottle ready for his bedtime feed and to put him to bed for the night. Some days he falls asleep easy, and some days takes a little extra work. He’ll be 6 months next week.

Arguments over Grimes’ ceiling and the like can get unpleasant, but at least we’re not talking about Frank Ntilikina and Kadeem Allen anymore.

Or Alonzo Trier 😁. Amen to this!

Here’s a nice postgame interview from Knight after the TWolves hung a 150-spot on the Bulls. Hard to not like listening to the kid.

And here’s a pre-draft video scouting report with strengths and weaknesses. Honestly, he seems like a much slower and less explosive, but bigger and much stronger version of Obi, in that he looks good against lower-level competition but would struggle against starters. He gets beat off the dribble and spun around the same way, lots of reaching fouls. The biggest difference is that Obi is sort of a 3/4 tweener while Knight is more of a 4/5 tweener. But I’d like to see some of Knight at the 4 with iHart at the 5.

DraftKings has NYK o/u at 44.5

My gut would have said like 46 wins so I guess that’s not a bad line.

Z-man, thanks for the link. Watching it was fun, but I worried about two things: one, can he make those shots in the NBA and two, there must be bad things were not seeing since these are only the highlights. But the next video up in the YouTube queue was this one, showing his career high NBA scoring performance of nineteen points, which was against Boston

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VNmnaIedbGk

So he has a chance scoring threes and scoring inside in the NBA. Honestly, at first I thought it was G League, but then I realized that was Horford guarding him on one shot.

As for my worry two, I have no idea.

Actually, if I’m obsessed with anything at all, it is with good grammar, punctuation, and spelling. I mean, I’m an editor.

But today I only mentioned him because I thought that it would be fun, as I hadn’t previously done so in a while. Nobody even mentioned him or spelled his name incorrectly prior to my bringing him up today. 🙂

@DDB I’m starting to think you must be a truck salesman with how obsessed you are with Lorry Markaten
