Pre Game 5 thoughts…

Just a quick hitter before Game tips…

1.  I am sure they didn’t mind doing it a game early, but kind of a downer when the visitor wins the Stanley Cup on foreign ice.
2. But the handshakes are still pretty much one of my favorite two minutes or so in all of sports, no matter whose ice they are on.
3. Nate Robinson already made the top level at the sport he was too short for.  Definitely rooting for him to make the sport his body IS made for.
4. Fletcher Cox is a GREAT player, but guaranteed $63 million????  Wow, Eagles.  Way to be tough in negotiations.
5. I thought Belgium would have given Italy more of a match today.
6. Pretty smart for the Bucks to lock up Jason Kidd and get him happy before that team really starts busting out.  Take his win count NOW and not in two years.
7. Of COURSE, Draft Kings and Fan Duel are going to get together.  HAVE to, or they BOTH will get wiped out.
8. Wait until after the golf majors to wipe them out.  I only use them for picking a golf team.  Addicting.
9. Hey, small amount of rich donors, LET THIS BAYLOR EPISODE JUST END.  No Briles return, ok?
10. Rondo said something about the Kings not jelling.  Rondo, you have a ring because of the other guys on the floor.  You don’t jell well with anyone.
11. I am pretty sure we all lost two years watching that Arya side plot that really didn’t end in a cool or fitting way.
12. I am pretty sure that Jon Snow needs a few more guys before taking down Bolton.
13. I am pretty sure this is my favorite guy to read GOT recaps on.  Not too high level, kind of funny, and kind of has a similar paradigm to the whole show that I do.  http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2016/06/12/game-of-thrones-season-6-episode-8-review-no-one/#208097274ddf
14. I am pretty sure they better not rush through this Bastard Bowl TOO fast.
15. We will get some dragons in the next two episodes also.  Dragons are always cool.
16. I am pretty sure I missed a large part of life NOT pouring cayenne pepper stuff on corn on the cob, but I guess better late than never.
17. Enjoying the SI issue about Ali, and assume I have a great one coming down the pike about Gordie Howe.
18. I just realized that I have never been to Jackson Hole.  I need to knock that out with Lindsey this summer.
19. No, I don’t think Green should have been suspended.
20. Gotta go, folks.  With tonight’s game, I think the Warriors take this down at home.  Yes, Draymond Green does a LOT of stuff that is important in their winning ways.  I think they want to close it out at home, and I think one of the role guys steps up big time since they are comfortable at home.  LeBron might try and do TOO much.  Repeat, folks.  Will I blog tomorrow?  That is a CLOWN question, bro.  Peace.
