NBA Update

Tomorrow will be quite a sports day with the Kentucky Derby and the big Mayweather/Pacquiao boxing event scheduled, and now add a game seven matching the San Antonio Spurs and L.A. Clippers.

Both the Spurs and Clippers have won 2 of 3 games on the road in the series. Game 7 is in Los Angeles.

Meanwhile though it was a nice season for the Milwaukee Bucks, improving from the NBA’s worst record to the “6” seed, albeit in the far weaker NBA East, last night’s Chicago Bulls (120-66) win, which eliminated the Bucks, has to be a bit humiliating.

It also produced interesting notes you know I had to cite.

Playing on the 44th anniversary of their lone NBA title (the 1971 NBA playoffs ended on April 30th, now television and greed, almost the same thing, push the season well into June), the Bucks managed just 33 points (33 being their great player Kareem Abdul Jabbar’s number) in each half.

Additionally and forgive the “stretch,” the 66 points, a disgracefully low point total for an NBA game, can be juxtaposed with the 66 wins, a great NBA season victories total, that the 1971 NBA champion Bucks’ team achieved.
