When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.

Ja Morant has missed five games with a shoulder injury. He could return on Thursday as he’s officially been designated as questionable.

The regular season was an 18-week climb, but now it’s time for the cream to rise to the top and shine. Hopefully none of the games are over by halftime. That truly would be a crime. How about all three games giving us overtime?! Please no Nickelodeon green slime on my tv. Just pepper me […]
