Bored Games

Even though we're more excited for the return of the NBA than LeBron is to win free fries in the McDonald's Monopoly game*, there is a downside to the lockout ending. Kevin Love and Blake Griffin must cease their intense Jenga matches. They'll have to settle for putting up bricks on the court when training camps open on December 9.

To the players who went abroad: Trouble has been thwarted, so get a Clue, come back from the far corners of the Earth and stop putting yourself at Risk of injury. Love and Griffin aren't the only NBA stars engaged in a Trivial Pursuit. We gather that, based on his background, Pau Gasol is tough to beat in Operation.
