Remember when Hok fans said Niang would never make it in the NBA?
Lakers: Talen Horton-Tucker is growing up and slowly coming into his own
Talen Horton-Tucker continues to grow and improve as he is becoming an important part of the Los Angeles Lakers this season and beyond.lakeshowlife.com
The Lakers-Warriors play-in game is WED at 9pm CT on ESPN.
They used to have first-round mini series of best-of-three and I think I'd prefer those to 1-game play-ins. They're impractical this year because of the time pressures. But you're right, the play-ins have created some additional interest. I wish the LAL-GSW game were earlier; kind of late for this aging-if-not-old guy on the East Coast. Curry is so entertaining.Can't wait! Curry v Lebron and THT! I am all in on the play-in tournament too. It essentially extended that playoff feel into the end of the regular season. Teams fighting to get into play-in spots 9/10, 9/10 fighting to get into 7/8 for two chances instead of one to qualify. Teams 7/8 trying to jump out of the play-in with 5/6ish trying to stay out of it. Made for a lot of mini competitions and more competition in general throughout the last third of the season. I know the NBA playoff series are usually "chalk" when its 1v8 and 2v7 so a lot of this won't matter in the long term, but this is fun.

I'm curious how much time THT will get in this one. Because of the urgent nature of it, I wonder if it might be around 10 minutes.

No. I never pay any attention to Hawk fans.Remember when Hok fans said Niang would never make it in the NBA?
I'm getting really excited for tonight. I know Lebron isn't for everyone and I know Curry isn't for everyone but I love watching both of them play. Who knows how much longer we'll get either one of them playing at their highest levels. I'm going to try and enjoy every minute of it.
The play-in tournament starts today. We are ready to witness our Cyclone players make more history in the postseason.

Puke.
For some reason the audio of the ESPN video is not working in my Chrome browser. For those who have the same issue, I found a more direct presentation for you. BTW, Georges' parts start at the 1:22 mark and 1:44 mark.
Not sure if that link will work.(it does!) ESPN video of Jazz players notifying high school students about winning a scholarship--Georges is sporting the Iowa State logo on his call.

Georges "roots" Niang. Gotta love him. So glad he is having success!Kids getting scholarships - it doesn't get much better than that! I'm sure that Jazz players enjoyed that AND I bet it makes them proud to work with that ownership group.
I bet Georges has a box with about 120 ISU shirts of different kinds, all with the Nike logo on them.
