Today’s word of the day is ‘squiggly’ as in squiggly line as in the Thunder as in the Spurs as in SGA as in Wemby. The series is all tied up. Jalen Williams is hurt. Dylan Harper is hurt.

This is about helping prospects get housing when they get called up. -- what a mess the end of the show was, sorry! Technology problems!

Today’s word of the day is ‘yogi’ as in it is never over till it’s over as in the Knicks as in the Cavaliers as in historic. The Knicks came back from down 22 points in the 4th quarter. Excuse me? Jalen Brunson put on a 4th quarter and overtime show. It was simply historic. What a collapse by Mitchell, Harden, and the Cavaliers. (12:30) Jason Kidd was fired. That’s it. Masai Ujiri comes in as team president and his first move is a big one. (22:40) What is different about baseball that is causing oblique injuries? This never used to be a thing.
