Joe T., always working hard…<\/p><\/div>\n

By Joe Torosian<\/p>\n

Kick it!<\/p>\n

Oh, I have always been a Vegas Golden Knights fan!<\/p>\n

Just call me, Pavel.<\/p>\n

OKC on Friday night looked like the defending champions. On Sunday, San Antonio looked like future champions, and Wemby like the Chosen One.<\/p>\n

I’ve been open-minded on the Thunder-Spurs. I only wanted to see competitive basketball. Right now, I’m rooting for the healthiest: San Antonio.<\/p>\n

I can hear OKC fans already whining about not having Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell.<\/p>\n

I like the feisty version of Caitlin Clark. Although I’d like less arm waving at the refs and more trash talk against the defenders.<\/p>\n

How do I know that you don\u2019t know anything about basketball? Tell me that Clark is lazy on defense.<\/p>\n

Are the Knicks this good, or have the Cavs spent themselves after back-to-back seven-game series against Toronto and Detroit? You can see for yourself, a ticket for tonight’s game will only run you 115-clams.<\/p>\n

Had no idea Spurs HC Mitch Johnson is the son of former Seattle Supersonic small forward John Johnson. I hated those Sonic teams\u2026because they were good. Johnson, Jack Sikma, Dennis Johnson, Lonnie Shelton, Gus Williams, and Downtwon Brown coming the off the bench? The basketball IQ of that team alone would allow them to compete present day.<\/p>\n

(Note: I didn\u2019t say win a championship.)<\/p>\n

Last Note Supersonics: Answer: \u201cSun Myung Moon, Jimmy Hoffa, and Jack Sikma.\u201d\u2026.Question: \u201cName a church, a search, and a Lurch.\u201d<\/p>\n

I didn’t watch the Indy 500, but I did see the highlights. And I forgot to breathe for two minutes. Felix Rosenqvist finished like James Worthy on a fast break. It was awesome.<\/p>\n

Last Add Golden Knights: The Colorado Avalanche had 121 points this season, the best in hockey, but the Knights, 95, on the season, lead the Western Conference final 3-0.<\/p>\n

Game Four at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas is Tuesday night. I want to go to this game. Can someone lend me $250 for a ticket\u2026and maybe give me some gas money\u2026and a hotel room (I’ll keep it cheap and stay at South Point)\u2026and, of course, I’m gonna have to eat. A grand should cover it. Anyone want to hook me up?<\/p>\n

I’m not a 49er fan, but if PETA’s angry with George Kittle for killing a spider in his bathroom, I’m gonna have to reassess my thoughts about Kittle.<\/p>\n

As everyone jumps on Jaxon Dart’s case, remember he wasn’t the guy asking for Lawrence Taylor’s jersey number when he got to New York.<\/p>\n

Did anyone have Dodgers centerfielder Andy Pages projected to hit 33 home runs this season? Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, and even Ohtani\u2014to some extent\u2014have gotten off to slow starts, but Pages has been amazing.<\/p>\n

While Yoshi Yamamoto is heating up (yesterday he went seven and allowed one run), rumors are building that Betts\u2014now 33\u2014is in full decline. <\/p>\n

When it comes to the Mets, I’d like to say my fantasy baseball team has gone from ninth place to third.<\/p>\n

#51\u2014May the San Francisco Giants rot and lie stinking in the earth\u2026<\/p>\n

Last Add Betts: Betts is in his seventh season with the Dodgers. He’s been in LA longer than he was in Boston.<\/p>\n

The Dude abides\u2026<\/p>\n
