NBA Pickem Week 2: Harden to Clippers Edition: There's a six-game slate of national TV games this week ahead of the in-season tournament that begins Friday. First up are the TNT doubleheader tonight of Knicks/Cavs and Spurs/Suns. I've opened in the lead over Werty. Make your picks and don't lose trust.

Saw Wembayama open against the Mavericks. Seven foot four and he's pulling up and dropping threes. This is the weirdest timeline.

I watched the first half of the Spurs/Thunder pre-season game and Wemby vs. Chet is a mix of jaw-dropping talent and gangly-ass Kaiju on ice. Their first regular season match-up is two weeks from tonight on TNT. Should be a fun one.
On a personal note, I just snapped up a deal on a flight to LaGuardia in early February and am planning to go see the Mavs take on the Knicks at Madison Square Garden (which will also be a TNT game). It's one of those things I've always daydreamed of doing when the stars aligned and I don't think they'll get any more lined up than they are this season. I haven't been to an NBA game in five years (last was Mavs @ Bulls early in Luka's rookie season), so I'm pretty damn excited to get the process going.

I didn't get an email about this week's picks, so I missed the Knicks win.

Didn't get your email until this morning, so I missed the Tuesday games. Probably would have gotten them wrong anyway.
