NBA playoffs - Who ya got?

[lisaviolet]

Forgot to say I would love to see a Phoenix win for Paul.

But for some reason just the sight of Booker makes me want to punch him in the face. So visceral and so wrong. But it never seems to waver.

Will be an epic final series in the West.

Well I need me a recap, fell asleep to that little Sacramento surprise.

Fun game 7. Really tight for a half, and I missed the beginning of the 2nd half grabbing lunch (long story) where I didn't have internet access.

I guess it’s not all bad news in Sacramento. At least they’re getting more clarity on even scheduling, where Sacramento State and UC Davis won’t have to worry about being preempted for their commencement ceremonies. I think they went indoors because of weather issues in the last. UC Davis had people pass out last year from the heat outside, but if they had to relocate, their campus gym holds at least 10K. I’ve been to Sac State’s gym and it’s high school sized.

With the Kings’ elimination from the NBA playoffs, Sacramento State and UC Davis will both be able to use Golden 1 Center, as planned, for their undergraduate commencement ceremonies in the coming weeks.​

​

If the Kings had advanced to the Western Conference Finals, by defeating the Warriors and then the Los Angeles Lakers in the conference semifinals, Sacramento State would have been forced to move its May 19-21 graduation proceedings from the downtown arena to Hornet Stadium, the university’s football field.​

​

That would have been significant, moving from an indoor to an outdoor venue during a period of unsettled weather conditions. Robert Nelsen, the university’s president, said in his contingency plan that commencement would have proceeded “rain or shine” if moved to Hornet Stadium.​

​

UC Davis is also slated to hold its undergraduate commencement at Golden 1 Center, June 16-18.​

​

The Kings would have needed to advance all the way to the NBA Finals to disrupt those ceremonies; in that scenario, UC Davis would have moved commencement back on its campus, but still indoors, at the University Credit Union Center.​

Well I will be the bigger woman (but not too big! ) and say -

Congratulations to Mr. MVP , Joel Embiid.

Sac State they were going to use their stadium. At 21,000 seating capacity it is actually bigger than Golden One Center. But it would be outdoors.

Sacramento outdoors in summer. What could go wrong?

Coming up on my 66th summer in Sacramento. No big deal.

The photo that I tried to hot link has a temperature display showing 116°F in Sacramento. UC Davis went indoors this year when they cut it short last year after several people passed out.

Now maybe I’m not one to criticize. I remember sitting in the Greek Theater in Berkeley in late May wearing a suit and a rather hot black polyester gown. Nothing quite like being at the bottom of a concrete bowl wearing wool and polyester.

I guess he had a history, but Dillon Brooks isn’t coming back to the Grizz.

Dillon Brooks was once viewed as a core and integral piece of the Memphis Grizzlies, but that is set to change as the team enters its next chapter, according to a report from The Athletic on Tuesday.​

​

According to the report, the Grizzlies have told Brooks he will not return to Memphis.​

Wanted Phoenix, but depth is an issue. Lakers looking good. Pretty much comes down to injuries

 

[lisaviolet]

Oh my Philly. Sigh.

 

[lisaviolet]

Draft lottery time.

Let's go 1 % chance in Raptorland.

 

[lisaviolet]

Now that's a game! Yay Miami.
