I don't have much to say about the tournament, mostly because I friggin love basketball and I'm just as excited about it in December as I am in April!
But did anyone else find it weird that in there s article, in the list of groups all teams were referred to ONLY by their city, except for LA? They got some LA fans at the AP?
EDIT: Duh, I totally ignored the Clippers, which is extra special because they're literally in the next group down 🤦♂️
That’s because there are two teams in LA, the Lakers and the Clippers. Technically NY has two teams but the nets go by their borough Brooklyn.
You're absolutely right, I totally missed that!
They have to distinguish between the Clippers and Lakers somehow.
You're totally right. Like everyone else, I was informing the Clippers!
No worries. I bet most LA basketball fans forget the Clippers exist too
