The TEN

(“The TEN” is not a top ten but ten items worth being included in “The TEN”)

1—“It’s a Ben Simmons vibe.”—Colin Cowherd on Kansas’ guard Darryn Peterson

2—“Have you seen the Washington Wizards play? Did you see what Bam did to them? Do we need more of that? I’m just saying, I see bad basketball around the NBA. I know some players are hurt, like Tyrese Haliburton is hurt in Indiana, but that product that we’re seeing is bad. Steph Curry and those guys are hurt in Golden State. We just had a Golden State-New York Knicks game in the Garden. No, man.”—Tracy McGrady on NBA expansion

3— The Detroit Pistons snap the Los Angeles Lakers 9 game winning streak last night, 113-110, at Little Caesars Arena.

4—“If you want a deep playoff run, you should hope for 4-6 instead of 10-0. Sad part of the reality of the new playoff system.”—MVS commentator, FBFan

5—A family of four attending a game at Dodger Stadium costs $413….Cheapest tickets, parking, one hot dog per person, one beer for each adult, one soda for each child.—Bill Shaikin, Los Angeles Times

6—“Two of my brackets are Crime Scenes.”—MVS commentator Hobbes

7—On this day in 1980, Louisville beat UCLA 59-54 to win the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship. It was the Cardinals first national championship.

8—“You are correct, there is little benefit to going 10-0. 6-4, 5-5 and a deep playoff run is much better than a 1st round exit in an impossible division.”—MVS commentator, Anonymous

9—“Have one beer and be a fan, have two beers and see what the umpire sees.”—Beerman at Goodyear Ballpark in Arizona.

10—“I’m working for the Lord, and even though the Lord’s pay isn’t very high, his retirement program is.” – George Foreman. Foreman passed away March 21, 2025.
