Feel as if I’ve seen this movie before? OKC and Indy reminds me of NBA playoff series from a few weeks back? How bout you? How is this one gonna turn out in the end?

OK, is a GM a necessity for your NBA team, or a job you can wait to fill whenever the mood strikes?

Russell Westbrook has opted out of contract with Nuggets. How badly do you want him back? Should Nuggets pursue him or let the screen door hit him? Your thoughts? Please. And thanks.

Thank you, sir.

Lede of the day, via @markkiszla: It’s time to burn these gosh-awful Rockies to the ground. Can you say fire sale? #Rockies #MLB #SFGiants #DenverNewspapers https://t.co/KOxwBioeRs

This just in: Cale Makar is pretty good at hockey.

Good stuff …

Michael Pierce, ex-Ravens teammate of JK Dobbins, to Denver Gazette: “He’s supremely talented. Unfortunately, he just had the injury bug. He works extremely hard. ... That dude loves football like very few I’ve been around. Hopefully, he can continue to be healthy. He’s special."

Even in season when Rockies could lose 125-plus games, somebody on team has to rep Colorado at the All-Star Game. Relief pitcher Jake Bird? Or catcher/DH Hunter Goodman? Make your case. Please. And thanks.

My boss constantly reminds me, so I know the answer, but I will ask you: In 2022 NBA draft, what player went one slot ahead of guy who hit this stone cold shot vs OKC?

Avs fans, how you feeling during Stanley Cup Final? You happy with the Brock Nelson extension? You still mad Mikko Rantanen is gone? Are Avs better than Edmonton and Florida? We going to have hockey games in Denver at this time next year? Your thoughts. Please. And thanks.

The Rockies are really bad. But Hunter Goodman is a really good story. Cheering for him to get that trip to the All-Star Game.

News: Knicks fire coach Tom Thibodeu. Views: Know any native New Yorker with a championship ring hanging out in Highlands Ranch?

Rockies win! Be still my heart.

Took a red-eye flight from Oregon, through Chicago, after watching Bo Nix and Troy Franklin torch Coach Prime's Buffs. Arrived in press box 15 minutes before kickoff. Couldn't quite believe what I witnessed, thinking I might be sleep-deprived delirious.

Where were you when the @MiamiDolphins put up SEVENTY points in 2023? 🤯 https://t.co/c2PgpxVkag

Way back in 1979, I spent summer in Memphis covering Expos’ AA team. They were kids, but damn good. Players on team included … Bill Gullickson, Dave Hostetler, Tony Johnson, Charlie Lea, Tony Phillips, Tim Raines, Pat Rooney, Bryn Smith and Tim Wallach. I might be crazy, but

Rockies swept by Mets and lose 50th game on June 1. Like nothing we’ve ever seen. On a side note: Ryan McMahon is good dude. But as clean-up hitter, he’s a joke.

Was not a fan of David Adelman hiring. Nothing against DA. Thought new GM should hire the coach and Jokic's prime too important for on-job training. I will now give DA full run to develop on bench. But to think Nuggets did something special in playoffs? That's a Kroenke fantasy.

Michael Malone could be too stubborn for his own good. But he saw something in Nikola Jokic before knuckleheads did. Malone didn't develop anyone else? How would you rate Christian Braun's development? Monte Morris played best basketball of career for Malone. As did Bruce Brown.
