With that said, Wemby does have 17 points less than five minutes into the game...

It's a shame the Lakers won't keep it competitive for long enough to inspire an all-time great performance from Wemby.

Do I want to watch the Spurs thrash the Lakers without 4/5 of their starting lineup, or do I want to watch some psychopaths hurl themselves down a snowy mountain? Tough choice, really

Having the Olympics start right around the NBA trade deadline + Super Bowl = dumb

Having the Olympics on during one of the otherwise most boring sports weeks of the year = smart

The most-viewed TV program in U.S. history is still the Eagles going belt-to-ass on the Chiefs? Sad!
NEWS: The actual numbers from the Super Bowl are now in, per Nielsen.

•Seahawks-Patriots averaged 124.9 million viewers, second-most watched SB in U.S. history behind last year.

•The halftime show averaged 128.2 million viewers in the U.S. Full global viewership will be available early next week.

I was wondering this same thing. Our current house came with a Ring doorbell built in. Are they storing the footage even if I don't have the subscription active?

Keep in mind, the Sixers currently have only three guards under the age of 40 and two wings who aren't suspended

The Sixers got flattened in the third quarter on the final game of a west-coast roadie.

Sure, they were short-handed, but a particularly disappointing game for Tyrese Maxey:

Andre Drummond had 18 made threes over the first 13 years of his NBA career.

He's up to 19 in 39 games this year.

(Ben Simmons made five threes across his entire NBA career, for frame of reference.)
