NBA update: this season goes out on shocked gasp noises
I'm sick so nothing serious is going to be appearing here right now.
However:
Today was the second-last day of the NBA regular season.
Currently:
- While the #1 and #5 seeds in the Western Conference are pretty much a lock... none of the others are. Depending on the outcome of tomorrow's games, 2-4 and 6-8 could end up in pretty much any order. (One of the games critical to this was won by a single point today.)
- Magic Johnson had an 'impromptu press conference' at which he announced, to the astonishment of everyone, that he's resigning as president of the Los Angeles Lakers.
- Dirk Nowitzki, franchise star of the Dallas Mavericks for the last twenty years, announced his retirement.
- He and Dwyane Wade both played their final home games for their respective teams and each scored 30.
- Anthony Davis, who is still under contract to the New Orleans Pelicans for another year but has demanded a trade and spent the rest of the season, pretty much, thoroughly alienating home fans, wore a shirt to arrive for today's game that read, "That's All, Folks". Because he's good at PR.
That was today. There were probably things I missed including but I am sick.
