They started 6-21, finished 42-40, and Kawhi Leonard appeared in 65 games.<\/p>\n<p>(Clippers have 12 former first-round picks on their active roster: Nicolas Batum, Bradley Beal, Bogdan Bogdanovic, John Collins, Kris Dunn, Darius Garland, Isaiah Jackson, Kawhi Leonard, Brook Lopez, Benedict Mathurin, Yanic Niederhauser, and TyTy Washington Jr.)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not an Angels fan, but who is this Jose Soriano? He&#8217;s averaging 28 points per outing for my fantasy team. He keeps this up through July, and I&#8217;ll become a serious fan-boy. He keeps it up through September, and I&#8217;ll make him my profile pic.<\/p>\n<p>So in game 81, Victor Wembanyama scores 40, grabs 13, and dishes for five against the Dallas Mavericks, but in game 82 against the Denver Nuggets, he sits?<\/p>\n<p>WNBA Draft tonight\u2026I feel a responsibility to remind people of this\u2026And I also think I&#8217;d go Lauren Betts before Azzi Fudd.

They can trade back, collect capital, and pick one of these positions, and I&#8217;d be cool. But spending #13 overall on a player unlikely to contribute in 2026 would definitely thin out the &#8220;all in&#8221; narrative.<\/p>\n<p>The Miami Dolphins re-signed tight end Greg Dulcich in March to a one-year deal. It stood out to me because the last game I covered for The Mid was St. Francis High School in the 2017 CIF final. The standout receiver in that game was Dulcich.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a question\u2026I have a memory of Coachella being one thing\u2014like being more cowboy\u2014and now it seems like something else\u2026Am I wrong on this?<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I also remember Cal Jam 2 differently than most.<\/p>\n<p>After HC stops in Orlando, Boston, the Clippers, Philadelphia, and Milwaukee, it&#8217;s time for Doc Rivers to go to ESPN.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026And the Bucks to clean house.<\/p>\n<p>#23\u2014May the San Francisco Giants rot and lie stinking in the earth\u2026The Dude abides\u2026<\/p>\n<p>1,269<br \/>\n1 Corinthians 16:13-15<br \/>\njtbank1964@yahoo.com<br \/>\nFollow Joe on X: @joet13b<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Joe Torosian Kick it!
