Reunion night at San Francisco tonight. Porzingis and Horford get to say hello to their former teammates. Then on Sunday comes one more chapter in what might be the greatest rivalry in basketball. Celtics vs Lakers? It's always a war.

It has been harder to stay interested in the Mavs now that I've reached the acceptance stage. I am watching a lot of Orlando Magic basketball and planning to attend a game.
