NBA Pickem Week 13: Mac McClung Edition: The All-Star debacle is over and the NBA returns tonight with two games on TNT and a packed nine-game national schedule including a Saturday quadruple on ESPN and ABC. Rumple and I are tied in the pickem with Cixelsyd just 8 pack. This contest has become as exciting as a Mac McClung dunk.

I've never heard sports radio hosts ridicule the NBA All-Star Game as much as they did this season. Glad I skipped it again.

I was visiting family (with a friend that couldn't care less about basketball) over the weekend and was perfectly content watching the premiere of the new season of Food Network's "Tournament of Champions" and ignoring the All-Star game. I still have no idea what happened, tbh.
I did watch a bit of the Futures (or whatever they call it) mini-tourney on Friday night which seems to be the only remaining piece of the weekend worth a dang. Among other things, I learned that the Grizzlies' G-Leaguer Kenneth Lofton, Jr. is not, in fact, the son of former MLBer Kenny Lofton. It's kind of obvious when you actually lay eyes on Jr. (until that point he'd just been a name I'd seen), but the announcers were nice enough to confirm.
