Sick Balls and Ball-ivia

As I've mentioned in the post before this, yours truly will miss a few games with an illness, and will be day-to-day. Don't worry ballers, x-rays were negative. (?)

Please still do drop by from time to time, as I might (might!) try to recap or preview in the succeeding days.

While waiting for the ball ball action goodies, I decided to leave you guys with some basketball trivia. I might also do this from time to time moving forward. And I formally dub this section...
