I had a hard time getting a photo of JJ Barea

Pretty tough schedule ahead. Hope we could win this one and finish with a + 500 record

Beaubois is from Guadeloupe which is an island and also a French territory not a country. Barea is also not from a surrounding North American country. He is from a U.S. Territory, Puerto Rico. And that is an extremely big picture of JJ. I wish his skills measured up to that photo.

Thabeet's post moves today made me go

oops I should have said surrounding countries/territories or something. I got carried away there.

I've always thought territories are bogus remnants of imperialism however. With globalization, what does it matter anyway?

OOPS back to basketball. Grizzlies are in full tank mode I guess. Bench has 7 points. Good grief. Can they regroup or is this the curtain call?
