Concentration is one thing, but there is a thing as too much focus on the goal at hand. Classic case of overthinking, which explains the ghastly 58.5 percent at the charity stripe.

In the 28 years I've been on this planet, the only time I've celebrated Valentine's Day was in my elementary school classroom, and these would have been at the top of my list even as a kid.

Kawhi Leonard had 34 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists and 0 turnovers today. It's only the 10th time in NBA history a player has recorded at least 34-9-8 with 0 turnovers, and the first since Nikola Jokic in October 2018. Clyde Drexler is the only player to ever do it twice.

Paul George has been getting all the hype, but Kawhi is just quietly ho-humming along with his own 50-40-90 season.

From a diehard Akron Zip, shout out to MAC alum and former Bowling Green State University Falcons standout Richaun Holmes. Though I still don't know what the Sacramento Kings are, I do know that dude brings energy and hustle on a nightly basis.

I'm sorry, I can't find the greatest caption for this one because I keep humming the "Bolt 24" commercial. I blame you, Dame.
