Le9th.

DO NOT MISS TODAY AS I DEBATE LEBRON’S LEGACY WITH GIL’S ARENA 2:30-4:30 E. CAN’T WAIT.

How fitting LeBron’s 8th and maybe last year in LA ended with another sweep when HE took the go-ahead shot with 20 seconds left and missed it badly as he drifted on the drive to avoid his dreaded late-game free throw line. WAKE UP.

Do not forget LeBron’s four 4th q disasters vs Denver in ‘23 conf finals. Combined 7-23 and 1-10 from 3. Had TWO last-second shots to tie in closeout G4 - neither hit rim. Next year: LeBricked last-second game-winner G2 at Den. Out in 5. WAKE UP.

Don’t let Blind Witness LeBron apologists gloss over this: His 8 years in LA have been by “GOAT” standards a DISASTER. 32-31 playoff record. 16-26 since the Mickey Mouse chip he had 4 1/2 months of rest for, & other teams weren’t all-in for. WAKE UP.

On this week’s “Skip vs Ernestine,” Ernestine and I share even more stories from my reunion with Stephen A. and my return to First Take

If he truly had prioritized winning over ego and greed, LeBron James would've started taking the veteran minimum a long time ago. Now he might be forced to, if he wants to keep living year-round in LA and finish as a Laker.

Spurs most important player tonight was Keldon Johnson.

I don't think Wemby owed his teammates tonight, he owed the TWolves who've tried to bully and intimidate him. 27/17/5 with 3 blocks was for Naz and Co.

OK, Spurs move a step closer to Thunder showdown ... but this series still feels like it's going 7.

Spurs had a 20-point lead early 4th when DFox missed a wide-open layup. Now it's down to 12.

How can Rudy let 6-5 Keldon Johnson block his point-blank dunk face to face???

Spurs just can't shake the TWolves. Just can't consistently score. Just feels like they're going to blow this home Game 5 ... unless maybe Wemby goes Alien. But it's now obvious Minnesota just has the psychological edge, just thinks it's better.

Spurs let Wolves off the hook, missing their last 9 shots of the half. Only 6-19 from 3. Wolves down only 12 definitely will make a run, make this close.

Obvious T on Naz.

My Arena schedule this week: I'm on the Underdog NBA show tomorrow and Thursday 2:30-4:30 E then on the NFL show, Arena Gridiron, on Friday 2:30-4:30 E after Thursday's big schedule release. Can't wait.

Dangerous cheap shot by Gobert, sticking his foot under Wemby before he came down from shooting a 3. It's the PaCheapShot rule that knocked Kawhi out of Game 1 vs Golden State.

Today’s Skip vs Ernestine: behind the scenes on Stephen A Day, Blake/Baldoni done?, MIA, hantavirus. Link in bio.

Haha …

The Arena is high on the #Cowboys this year, despite a difficult schedule
