NBA Pickem Week 13: MLK Day Edition: There are a lot of NBA games on TV this week, capped off by an MLK Day tripleheader on NBC. The action begins tonight with Spurs/Thunder and Blazers/Warriors on NBC. The latter starts at 11 p.m. Eastern, which is way past my bedtime. I won the week in the pickem standings and am in first. Enjoy the holiday!

Celtics threw a watch party for the Pacers game Monday night. It's one of the perks for season ticket members. Food, drinks, goodies, good company, and a pretty good game. The mascot, Lucky, was there along with a couple of the dancers for photo ops. Good times.

Thinking good thoughts for the Pacers made a difference. They've won 3 in a row but are still 9-31. Getting their own 2026 first round pick back last year is looking like a pretty good trade.
