Saturday’s quiz
Who is the oldest head coach in the NFL this year?

Friday’s quiz
Ken Whisenhunt coached the Arizona Cardinals in their one Super Bowl.

Thursday’s quiz
Karl Malone has made the most free throws in NBA history (9,787)

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

Saturday’s List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind……

13) Genuinely weird stat: NFL quarterbacks making their first career start this year are 8-0 ATS, 4-3-1 SU. Sunday, Denver’s Brandon Allen, Washington’s Dwayne Haskins become QB’s #9-10 to make his first career start.

12) If you’re into betting NBA games, make damn sure you know Kawhi Leonard’s status before wagering on a Clippers’ game; that may sound obvious, but sometimes life is simple.

So far this season, the Clippers are +54 with Leonard on the floor, -26 with him off the floor.

11) There are 45 NBA players this season who are making $25M+.

10) In the Super Bowl era before this year, 25 teams started a season 8-0; of those 25 teams, 14 made it to the Super Bowl, going 8-6, with ’09 Saints the last 8-0 team to win a title. The seventeen 8-0 teams that made it to a conference title game went 14-3.

49ers and Patriots are 8-0 right now. 49ers and the 2013 Chiefs are the only teams in NFL history to start 8-0 after winning four or fewer games the previous season.

9) NFL teams with most snaps played by rookies this season:
— Giants 2,907
— Jaguars 2,417
— Raiders 2,352

8) NFL teams with most salary cap dollar on IR:
— Steelers $37.6M
— Jaguars $33.3M
— Texans $31.6M

7) Last six teams to play Game 7 of a finals series at home:
2019 Astros- lost to Washington
2019 Bruins- lost to St Louis
2017 Dodgers- lost to Houston
2016 Warriors- lost Cleveland
2016 Indians- lost to Chicago Cubs
2014 Royals- Lost to San Francisco

6) Wednesday night, Golden State was down 43-14 at home to the Phoenix Suns; they were down 37 at the half in Oklahoma Sunday. Going to be a long winter for the Warriors, who did win one of their first four games, but two really ugly losses in the first ten days of the season isn’t good.

Golden State could have a dismal year, get a lottery pick, then have Klay Thompson back next season and have themselves a contending team again in 2020-21. There is precedent for this……

From 1993-96, San Antonio won 55-62-59 games, then in ’96-’97, David Robinson got hurt and the Spurs went 20-62. They drafted a kid named Tim Duncan and haven’t missed the playoffs since then, winning five NBA titles.

5) Seattle Seahawks claimed WR Josh Gordon off waivers from New England. Talented yet troubled, the talented guys always get multiple chances.

4) CBS told golf analysts Gary McCord, Peter Kostis to take a hike; the two analysts have a combined 59 years of experience at CBS. CBS signed Davis Love III to replace McCord.

3) Last time 15th-ranked SMU was ranked this high in football? 1985.

2) From Mike Clay: New Orleans Saints’ WR Michael Thomas has 73 receptions in 8 games, which puts him on pace for 146 catches, which would break Marvin Harrison’s single-season record of 143 set in 2002.

Despite all that, Thomas doesn’t have a single end zone target this season; he’s scored four TD’s anyway. .

1) If I never hear the phrase “Quid Pro Quo” again, it’ll be too damn soon, except when Mr Chow says it in The Hangover, a very funny movie. Then its OK.

Drummond has 25 points and 20 rebounds, Pistons beat Nets
November 2, 2019
By The Associated Press

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) Furkan Korkmaz made a 3-pointer with 0.4 seconds left and the Philadelphia 76ers rallied for their fifth straight victory to start the season, 129-128 over the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday night.

Anfernee Simons made a corner 3-pointer with 2.2 seconds left to put Portland in front, but the Sixers got the ball back after a timeout to set up Korkmaz's falling-down, 24-footer for the win - without suspended center Joel Embiid. Philadelphia is the last undefeated team in the NBA with its first 5-0 start since 2000-01.

Embiid served the first of a two-game suspension for an altercation with Minnesota's Karl-Anthony Towns during the 76ers' 117-95 home victory Wednesday night.

Al Horford added 25 points for Philadelphia.

Damian Lillard led Portland with 33 points, hitting eight of Portland's 19 3-pointers.

BUCKS 115, RAPTORS 105

MILWAUKEE (AP) - Giannis Antetokounmpo had 36 points, 15 rebounds and eight assists to lead Milwaukee past Toronto in the first meeting between the teams since the Eastern Conference finals.

Eric Bledsoe added 14 points and five assists, and Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez each had 11 points.

The Bucks had the best record in the East last season and took a 2-0 lead over the Raptors in the conference finals, but Toronto took the next four en route to its first NBA championship.

In this rematch, Kyle Lowry scored a season-high 36 points and Pascal Siakam had 16 for Toronto.

PISTONS 113, NETS 109

DETROIT (AP) - Andre Drummond had 25 points and 20 rebounds, Bruce Brown added career highs of 22 points and seven assists and Detroit beat Brooklyn.

Luke Kennard finished with 24 points and helped seal it with a driving basket and two free throws in the final 30 seconds of both teams' second game in two nights.

Drummond had at least 20 points and 20 rebounds for the third straight game and fourth time in seven games this season. He added six assists, five blocks and three steals.

Kyrie Irving had his first triple-double with Brooklyn with 20 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. Taurean Prince added 20 points.

SUNS 114, GRIZZLIES 105

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - Devin Booker scored 21 points and Aron Baynes hit a career-high four 3-pointers and had 20 points in Phoenix's victory over Memphis.

The two combined to shoot 14 of 23 from the field and the Suns finished at 50%, going 14 of 34 from 3-point range. Kelly Oubre Jr. added 15 points and Frank Kaminsky had 14.

Rookie Ja Morant led Memphis with 24 points and seven assists, Dillon Brooks and Brandon Clarke each had 16 points, and Clarke added 11 rebounds.

HORNETS 93, WARRIORS 87

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Terry Rozier made a short go-ahead jumper and added two free throws with 4.9 seconds left after missing three straight, and Charlotte held off injury-depleted Golden State.

Dwayne Bacon scored 25 points while Rozier finished with 20 points and seven assists to help the Hornets win their second straight after back-to-back losses to the Lakers and Clippers.

Erich Paschall had a season-high 25 points for Golden State while starting in place of injured Draymond Green. Green suffered a torn ligament in his left index finger on Friday night, joining a long list of injured Warriors. Golden State is 1-5.

NUGGETS 91, MAGIC 87

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Jamal Murray scored 22 points, Nikola Jokic had 20 points and seven rebounds and both made big late plays to help Denver beat Orlando.

Jokic hit a shot from the corner with 1:53 left to put Denver up 84-81. Murray made a jumper with 1:24 left, drove for a dunk and an 88-83 lead with 35 seconds remaining, and wrapped up the victory with two free throws with 5.1 seconds left.

Nikola Vuevic scored 24 points for Orlando. Aaron Gordon added 21 points and nine rebounds.

TIMBERWOLVES 131, WIZARDS 109

WASHINGTON (AP) - Andrew Wiggins scored 21 points, Robert Covington and Jarrett Culver each added 20 and Minnesota cruised past Washington.

Minnesota improved to 4-1 for the first time since 2012-13. They played with Karl-Anthony Towns serving the first of a two-game suspension for an altercation with Philadelphia's Joel Embiid on Wednesday night,

Bradley Beal scored 30 points for Washington. The Wizards are 1-4.

Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

Top six picks for Week 9 in Westgate Super Contest:

6) Colts -1 (929)
5) Buccaneers +6 (1,031)
4) Vikings +2.5 (1,104)
3) Patriots -3 (1,130)
2) Packers -3.5 (1,251)
1) Browns -3 (1,,257)

2019 record: 25-22-1


**********

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Wrapping up a college football Saturday……

13) Purdue 31, Nebraska 27— Nebraska led 10-0 after first quarter; last time Purdue won a conference game when they trailed by 10+ points after the first quarter?

1983, when their QB was Scott Campbell, backed up by future Rams’ QB Jim Everett.

12) Not much suspense as to which team scored the first TD of the day; Michigan ran the opening kickoff back for a TD in its 38-7 win at Maryland. Took them 11 seconds to score.

11) Oregon 56, USC 24— I’m guessing by time you read this, USC coach Helton may have been fired; this was a dismal display. Trojans are 5-4 and struggling. Oregon scored three TD’s in last 2:36 of first half, the last two without the Ducks’ offense being on the field.

10) Boston College 58, Syracuse 27— BC led 44-20 at halftime; in their last two games, Syracuse has given up 737 rushing yards, 10 rushing TD’s to Florida State, BC, who are a combined 9-9 this season.

9) Mississippi State 54, Arkansas 24— Razorbacks lost their last 16 SEC games; this game was 38-10 at the half.

8) Tulane 38, Tulsa 26— From 2009-17, Green Wave was 33-77; last two years, they’re 13-9, as coach Willie Fritz has turned the Tulane program around— last time they went to a bowl in consecutive years was 1997-98.

Tulane actually went 12-0 in ’98 under Tommy Bowden, who then bolted for Clemson.

7) Upsets this week:
— Georgia Southern (+14) 24, Appalachian State 21
— Oregon State (+5) 56, Arizona 38
— BYU (+3.5) 42, Utah State 14
— Miami (+3.5) 27, Florida State 10

6) Liberty 63, UMass 21— Liberty QB Calvert threw for 446 yards……in the first half.

5) Bowling Green 35, Akron 6— Zips haven’t scored a touchdown since September 28; today is November 3rd.

4) Coastal Carolina 36, Troy 35— Chanticleers trailed 35-28, then scored a TD with 0:30 left, went for 2 points and got it to even their record at 4-4.

3) Memphis 54, SMU 48— Big day for the Memphis program, with ESPN GameDay in town; they had a huge crowd in town at 7:30am, 12 hours before kickoff. Both teams in this game are now 8-1.

2) Cincinnati 46, East Carolina 43— Bearcats were favored by 23-points; they outscored ECU 18-3 in 4th quarter, kicking a 32-yard FG at the gun to improve to 7-1, 4-0 in AAC.

1) Indiana 34, Northwestern 3— Hoosiers are quietest 7-2 team in the country. Northwestern has zero TD’s on its last 37 drives.

By The Associated Press

SAN ANTONIO (AP) Anthony Davis had 25 points and 11 rebounds, LeBron James added 21 points, 13 assists and 11 rebounds and the Los Angeles Lakers held off the San Antonio Spurs 103-96 on Sunday night.

James also had a triple-double Friday night in an overtime victory in Dallas.

Dwight Howard had 14 points and 13 rebounds in a throw-back performance to help the Lakers improve to 5-1.

Dejounte Murray had 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Spurs, Rudy Gay added 16 points off the bench, and DeMar DeRozan had 14. They lost for the second time in three games to drop to 4-2.

HEAT 129, ROCKETS 100

MIAMI (AP) - Duncan Robinson scored 23 points, Meyers Leonard added 21 and Miami led by 41 points on the way to the easy victory over Houston.

James Harden scored 29 points for Houston, and Russell Westbrook was held to only 10.

It was a record-setting opening quarter for the Heat - resulting in the third-biggest lead after 12 minutes in the NBA's shot-clock era, starting with the 1954-55 season. Miami led 46-14 after that first quarter. The only bigger leads after one quarter since the shot clock was put into play came when the Los Angeles Lakers led the Sacramento Kings 40-4 after one quarter on Feb. 4, 1987, and the Baltimore Bullets leading the Kansas City-Omaha Kings 45-12 after a quarter on Dec. 9, 1972.

MAVERICKS 131, CAVALIERS 111

CLEVELAND (AP) - Luka Doncic had his second straight triple-double and third of the season, finishing with 29 points, 14 rebounds and a career high-tying 15 assists to lead Dallas past Cleveland,

Leonard's big fourth quarter lifts Clippers over Jazz
November 3, 2019

LOS ANGELES (AP) Kawhi Leonard scored 18 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter to lead the Los Angeles Clippers to a 105-94 victory over the Utah Jazz on Sunday night.

Leonard's scoring surge helped the Clippers erase a double-digit second-half deficit and remain unbeaten (4-0) at home. He only made 9 of 26 shots, but with the game tied at 86, Leonard scored six points to spark a 19-8 run to close out the victory.

Montrezl Harrell scored 19 points and Lou Williams added 17 for the Clippers.

Donovan Mitchell led the Jazz with 36 points and Bojan Bogdanovic added 19.

After trailing by eight points in the opening quarter, the Clippers opened the second quarter on a 20-4 run. Landry Shamet's 3-pointer gave Los Angeles a 36-24 lead at the 4:53 mark. The Jazz responded with a 17-3 run to finish the quarter and Mitchell's basket in the final minute gave Utah a 41-39 lead at the break.

Both teams shot under 35 percent in the opening half. Leonard made just one of nine shots in the first half and scored only five points.

TIP-INS

Jazz: Utah coach Quin Snyder served as an assistant for the Clippers for the 1992-93 season. ''It was a great experience for me to work with Coach Larry Brown and with so many others who went onto to have historic careers.'' ... The Jazz entered Sunday's game as the NBA's No. 1 defensive team, allowing 94 points per game.

Clippers: The Clippers have the fourth best regular season record (407-239) since the start of the 2011-12 season. Only the San Antonio Spurs, Golden State Warriors and the Oklahoma City Thunder have more victories during that span.

MICHAEL JORDAN-KAWHI LEONARD-ALAN IVERSON COMPARSIONS

In his availability prior to the game, Clippers coach Doc Rivers compared Leonard to Michael Jordan and Alan Iverson. ''Kawhi's body type is more similar to Michael Jordan's than anyone in the league and Kawhi has the toughness of Alan Iverson.''

PAUL GEORGE UPDATE

''Paul is working hard and putting in a lot of `live' work,'' said Doc Rivers. ''We don't have a timeline on his return yet, but we'll be reassessing it next week.'' George was on the floor shooting and warming up with the Clippers prior to the game.''

UP NEXT

Jazz: host Philadelphia on Wednesday.

Clippers: host Milwaukee on Wednesday.
