After a Portugal-Switzerland round of 16, which will either be the match of the year or a major purge, you’ll need to unwind a bit or some entertainment to kick-start your evening. All excuses are good to be ahead of tonight’s meetings.
# THE PROGRAM
- 1h30 : Heat – Pistons
- 1h30 : Cavaliers – Lakers
- 4h : Nuggets – Mavericks
# DO NOT LOSE
LeBron’s Return to Cleveland Season 47, Episode 31. We’re starting to get used to it now, according to the King’s wanderings outside his Ohio realm. After his four years in South Beach, the Akron kid begins his fifth season in the City of Angels. His 20th career season is coincidentally his 9th away from home. The audience of CLEEEEEEVELAAAAAAND is therefore used to seeing the prodig(u)e return home Regards Dan Gilbert. As far as the sporting aspect is concerned, on one side we have the Cavs led by their magical Garland – Mitchell backcourt who continue their merry journey on the heights of the Eastern Conference, on the other the Purple and Gold who, after a start to the season delicate, they seem to have finally understood that “no, even if you have the latest report from the League, you will not have your first round pick in Draft 2023” (to be read in Panoramix’s voice when he refuses to give the magic potion to Obelix). Led by a fiery Anthony Davis and with a three-game winning streak, the Chosen One’s teammates could very well act as a killjoy among the mounted warriors.
Then, at 4 a.m., the Nuggets as well as the Mavs will be looking to mark their territory against a potential playoff opponent. And what’s more, there will be a match within a match, with Serbia’s double MVP on one side Novak Djokovic Nikola Jokic and the Slovenian prodigy on the other Tadej Pogacar Luka Doncic, comparison between two great talents of the orange ball with a name in -ic for the crown of the Balkans. Also in this case, from a sporting point of view, it is not the question that is missing. In a Western Conference that has long been very homogeneous this season but whose standings are gradually starting to settle, Mike Malone’s players are just two games ahead of Jason Kidd’s. Tonight’s winner will therefore carry out a very interesting accounting operation compared to his opponent. Knowing that ahead there are bears, big-billed birds and cacti that it would be fashionable not to miss too much, happiness to the winner?

- Can Killian Hayes’ behavior in Cade Cunningham’s absence confirm his good recent performances against the Heat?
- The Pistol’Herro’s behavior in the face of the Pistons’ lack of outfield defense (good TTFL point that).
- Bam Adebayo’s site (well in real life you can catch any Heat player in TTFL) on Detroit’s racket to convince them you need to tank for Wemby.
The absence of quantity does not necessarily mean the absence of quality. Only three games scheduled tonight, but so many more reasons to be interested.
