I watched most of the Wizards game before heading out for the night. They simply didn’t entice me to stay with their lack of energy, effort, and patience/ball movement on offense. So, watching the rest of the game on Sunday, I pick the game blog up here:

Finally, knock-off products are a huge problem in China, severely limiting the revenue generating potential for merchandise.
