NBA Pickem Week 2: Lottery Lakers Edition: The national NBA slate is light this week -- just two games Wednesday and one more Friday, all on ESPN -- so an NBA TV Friday night game between the Nuggets and Celtics is also included in the pickem. Our leader after week 1 is Rumple with 55 points. Make picks with more accuracy than the Lakers shooting threes.

Would like to see Dallas visit Orlando tomorrow to watch Luka and Banchero in person. Probably not wise to be making long drives in a hurricane.

I have a tentative commitment from my old seatmate at the AAC during the first half of Dirk's career to meet up in Memphis in March to watch Luka and Ja face off. If hurricane weather is a concern then things have really gone sideways.

I'll be at Friday's Celtics vs Nuggets game looking for a win by the Green. It won't be easy to hold Jokic down with the Celtics' lack of depth at the "big" position. Perhaps Grant 'Batman' Williams can defeat the Joker once again.
