NBA Takes…with Teresa – Knicks, Blazers hexed, and Hello Regular Season
Atlanta Hawks vs. Memphis Grizzlies
Another hilarious preseason game was Trae Young‘s Atlanta Hawks taking on Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies. The Grizzlies were another team beating their opponent, laughing, slapping five, and jumping up in the air…until the fourth quarter. At one point in the third, the Hawks were losing 66-82. They came back from 19 down to defeat Morant and the Grizzlies by one. Now that’s something to laugh about!
The Portland Trail Blazers
The Portland Trailblazers had a great offseason. They did not have a great preseason. Now unfortunately for all Blazers fans, their season is done. Before they step out on the court, it’s over. On TNT’s season-opening day broadcast, Charles Barkley gave one of his jinxed premonitions. So sorry, Portland.

The yawning start to 2020-21
Quite frankly, I was very bored during the ring ceremony! King James got his ring. Number four. Then they allowed the Clippers and Paul George to beat them. The Clips did not beat them badly. Lebron and the L.A.L. start the defense of their championship with a loss. I wish I could add more about the game, but seriously, it was boring as heck!
Before the boring Lakers game was the boring Brooklyn Nets/Golden State Warriors game. Wow! KD and Kyrie beat Stephen Curry. No Klay, no Draymond. Just Steph, the rookie, and his role players. When are Durant and Irving going to play a full team…like Denver. The Eastern Conference is nowhere as strong as the Western Conference. Analysts, please hold your applause until Brooklyn plays a full team and not one gutted due to injury.
