Quote of the Day:
“…….this was a man for all seasons. He was more than an iconic basketball player. He was someone who inspired millions of fans. For me, this is a God-awful day.”
Jerry West, talking about the late Kobe Bryant

Monday’s quiz
Which NBA general manager once got traded for Kobe Bryant?

Sunday’s quiz
Lions’ coach Matt Patricia went to college at RPI, an engineering school in Troy, NY.

Saturday’s quiz
When the ABA folded in 1976, these four teams joined the NBA:
Nets, Pacers, Nuggets, Spurs

************************************************** ****************************

Monday’s List of 13: Random thoughts on a winter day……

13) Was talking baseball with a friend the other day; he’s a lot younger than me. I was telling him about a 1987 trade between the Braves and Detroit.

Back then, Atlanta was a bad team, the Tigers were contenders, so Detroit sent a prospect to the Braves for 35-year old P Doyle Alexander, who was 5-10, 4.13 in 16 starts for the Braves that year. Alexander had a fine career (194-174, 3.76); he found a spark in Detroit after the trade and went 9-0, 1.53 in 11 starts, leading the Tigers to the playoffs.

Problem is, the prospect Detroit traded? A guy named John Smoltz.

Whoops.

12) If you finish lower than 8th in a conference, you should NOT be in the NCAA tournament, unless you win the conference tournament. No at-large bids, though.

These big $$$ leagues with their own TV networks (ACC, Big 14) jacked up their conference schedules to 20 games, which inflates their teams’ power ratings. Its an unfair game.

If you can’t finish in the top 8 in a league, how the hell can you compete for a national title?

11) It is conceivable that the 9th-place team in the Big 14 (Penn State, as I type this) is better than maybe the 2nd best-team in OVC or 3rd-best team in WCC, but too bad.

Mike DeCourcy is a fine sportswriter who also works on the Big 14 Network; he has 11 of their teams in his bracket. Well, of course he does, they pay him. You finish 11th in a 14-team league, your coaches should be recruiting in March, not preparing for the NCAA’s.

10) Sounds like robot umpires are going to be calling balls/strikes in the major leagues in the next couple years. I’m not in love with this idea, mostly because I don’t trust whoever it is who will be programming the robots. Too easy to screw over the small market teams.

9) If the NFL goes to a 17-game schedule, then each team could get two byes, and the Super Bowl could be the Sunday night of Presidents’ Day weekend, when everyone has Monday off.

Daytona 500 early in the day, Super Bowl at night; big sports day.

8) Former 5-star recruit Kahlil Whitney is transferring from Kentucky after playing 18 games, starting eight of them. Looking at his shooting stats (4-16 on arc, 10-23 on foul line), he needs to spend most of his free time over the next year working on his shooting.

7) Basketball upsets:
— California (+8) 52, Stanford 50
— Tulsa (+4.5) 79, UConn 75 OT

6) Oregon 96, UCLA 75— Bruins made 10-24 on arc, still lost by 21; they were down 22 at the half. Oregon forced 22 turnovers (+8), shot 63.6% inside arc. UCLA lost seven of its last ten games; they’re 10-10, 3-4 in the Pac-12, and will be lucky to make the NIT.

5) Tulsa 79, UConn 75 OT— Golden Hurricane wins its fifth game in a row; they outscored UConn 24-12 on foul line, were lucky that the Huskies made only 9-33 on arc. UConn lost six of its last seven games; losing last four games, two of them in OT.

4) Virginia 65, Wake Forest 63 OT— Deacons led by 12 in second half; they outscored Virginia 21-11 on foul line, but shot only 25.7% inside arc and couldn’t finish the job.

Three Cavaliers played 42:00+; Virginia won for only second time in their last six games, as they try and avoid falling off the NCAA bubble.

3) Maryland 77, Indiana 76— Terrapins blew a 14-point first half lead, but then scored the last seven points of game to sweep the season series. Both teams shot 55%+ inside the arc; there were a total of only 11 turnovers in this slow-paced (59 possessions) game.

2) Northern Iowa 67, Loyola 62 OT— Panthers blew an 11-point lead with 8:56 left, but won in OT and improve to 6-2 in Valley, tying the Ramblers for first place.

1) Obviously Sunday was a sad day, nine people dying in a helicopter crash in California, with Kobe Bryant and his daughter two of the victims.

Moral of the story, at the risk of being preachy: appreciate every day, because we’re not guaranteed anything. Lets be nicer to each other, and appreciate what we have.

-- The Mavericks are 10-2 this season off a loss, as one of those defeats came at Oklahoma City on New Year’s Eve.

-- Oklahoma City has covered 14 of its last 17 games, but all three of those ATS defeats came at home.


Kings at Timberwolves (-3 ½, 226) – 8:05 PM EST

SAC: 16-29 SU, 21-23-1 ATS, 22-23 O/U
MIN: 15-31 SU, 17-27-2 ATS, 25-21 O/U
Last 10 games:
SAC: 3-7 SU, 3-6-1 ATS, 7-3 O/U
MIN: 1-9 SU, 2-8 ATS, 6-4 O/U

Head-to-Head:

-- The Timberwolves have won six of the past eight matchups, including a 105-104 overtime triumph at Sacramento on December 26 as seven-point underdogs.

Betcha Didn’t Know:

-- The ‘over’ has cashed in seven of Sacramento’s last nine road games, although the ‘under’ hit in Saturday’s win at Chicago. However, the ‘under’ is 5-1 in the Kings’ past six contests after scoring less than 100 points in a win.

-- Minnesota has struggled overall of late, but the Wolves own a 3-9 SU/ATS record in their last 12 opportunities in the favorite role.


Spurs (-2 ½, 217) at Bulls – 8:05 PM EST

SA: 20-25 SU, 18-26-1 ATS, 27-18 O/U
CHI: 18-30 SU, 23-24-1 ATS, 23-25 O/U
Last 10 games:
SA: 5-5 SU, 5-5 ATS, 5-5 O/U
CHI: 5-5 SU, 5-5 ATS, 4-6 O/U

Head-to-Head:

-- These teams have not met this season, as the Spurs are 4-1 SU and 2-3 ATS the last five matchups with the Bulls. San Antonio has won its last two visits to United Center, including a 108-107 triumph last season.

Betcha Didn’t Know:

-- The Spurs are 8-2 ATS the last 10 road games, but were listed as a favorite only once in this span, coming in a 145-115 blowout of the Grizzlies on December 23.

-- The Bulls have compiled a 2-15 record this season off a win, coming off Saturday’s victory at Cleveland.


Rockets at Jazz (-11, 224 ½) – 9:05 PM EST

HOU: 28-17 SU, 21-24 ATS, 20-25 O/U
UTA: 32-13 SU, 25-19-1 ATS, 23-22 O/U
Last 10 games:
HOU: 4-6 SU, 3-7 ATS, 5-5 O/U
UTA: 9-1 SU, 7-2-1 ATS, 7-3 O/U

Head-to-Head:

-- Amazingly, these teams have not hooked up yet this season, but they will meet three times over the next month. The Rockets are 6-1 in the past seven matchups, including taking four of five meetings in the first round of the playoffs.

Betcha Didn’t Know:

-- Houston will likely be down both James Harden and Russell Westbrook tonight, as the Rockets lost at New Orleans in the only other game this season without the two stars in the lineup. However, the Rockets are 4-3 ATS this season in the underdog role.

-- The Jazz are riding a nine-game home winning streak, while being listed as a double-digit home favorite for the sixth time this season. Utah owns a 5-0 SU and 3-2 ATS mark when laying at least 10 points, while winning 18 consecutive home contests as a double-digit favorite.
