BWA Games & Collectibles

Result: 91:49. I record a confident win. Box score: Wemby double-double: 22 PTS, 20 REB, 8 AST, 8 BLK (with 4 dunks!). Stephon Castle: 20 PTS, 5 REB, 5 AST, 2 STL. Harrison Barnes: 20 PTS, 3 REB. De'aaron Fox double-double: 17 PTS, 11 AST, 3 REB, 2 STL. Wemby won the game!

Pelicans with Ingram and Zion? Tough match-up if you ask me. I ended up winning playing OKC: 85:57. Now on to what we all came here for: The Box Score! Shai Dildos-Alexander: 20 PTS, 7 AST, 3 REB. Derrick Favors: 17 PTS, 8 REB, 4 AST, 1 BLK. Aleksej Pokusevski: 9 PTS, 3 REB, 2 AST. Tre Mann: 4 PTS, 1 AST. On the other side, Brandon Ingram: 17 PTS, 3 REB, 1 AST. In the picture: Poku listening when he will be dumped by OKC to join Partizan in Serbia.

Sixth studio album of The Corrs, released in 2015. Its duration is 47:54, 12 tracks. White Light has received mixed reviews from critics. Neil Yeung of AllMusic rated 4/5 stars for the album, stating that "this collection sounds like they picked up immediately after their last album and not a return to the scene after a decade."

Another blowout win of the Sonics: 80:42. Box score: Shawn Kemp (double-double): 28 PTS, 14 REB, 4 BLK, 2 AST (with 5 dunks!). Gary Payton: 26 PTS, 6 AST, 6 REB, 3 STL, 1 BLK. Detlef Schrempf (double-double): 14 PTS, 10 REB, 6 AST, 3 BLK.

Tonight I chose to play with 94-95 New York Knicks versus team's 2025 version, and I won. The result: 66:61. Good team effort. Box score-wise: Derek Harper (double-double): 20 PTS, 11 AST, 4 REB, 1 STL, 1 BLK. John Starks: 16 PTS, 4 REB, 1 AST, 1 STL, 1 BLK. Charles Oakley (double-double): 14 PTS, 10 REB, 3 AST. Patrick Ewing: 12 PTS, 8 REB, 3 AST, 3 BLK, 1 STL.

Third studio album by Ava Max, released in 2025. Its duration is 34:43, 12 songs. Don't Click Play received mixed reviews from music critics, who found some tracks enjoyable but regarded it as her weakest effort to date. Neil Z. Yeung of AllMusic described Don't Click Play as a collection of enjoyable dance-pop tracks with some highlights, though noted it lacked the cohesion and impact of Max's earlier albums. I liked World's Smallest Violin and Catch My Breath.

Penny wins the game 76:43 (versus Brooklyn Nets). I scored 46 PTS (more than the entire Nets team, mind you) and 8 REB, 1 STL (and 4 dunks!) with Penny Hardaway. Nick Anderson: 12 PTS, 4 AST, 3 REB, 1 BLK. Shaquille O'Neal: 20 REB, 8 PTS, 4 AST, 3 STL, 4 BLK. It was a nice game.

Third studio album by Tate McRae, released on 2025. Its duration is 42:30, 15 songs. I find it decent. In Canada, So Close to What debuted atop the Billboard Canadian Albums chart with 20,000 album-equivalent units. The album also debuted atop the Billboard 200 in the United States, with first-week sales of 177,000 album-equivalent units (consisting of 137.30 million on-demand streams and 71,000 pure album sales). With this feat, So Close to What marks McRae's highest sales and streaming week across all her studio projects as well as her first number one album on both the Billboard Canadian Albums chart and Billboard 200. On October 6, 2025, So Close to What received a Platinum certification in the United States by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), for accumulating sales of 1,000,000 album-equivalent units in the country.

Second studio album by Maggie Lindemann, released on 2025. Its duration is 46:51 with 16 tracks. I instatly liked Evil and one of its singles One of the Ones. Another singles were: Spine and 2022. The 27-year-old artist steps deeper into her rawest emotional territory yet. I Feel Everything showcases Lindemann's exploration of emotional honesty. It addresses themes such as leaving a volatile partner in "Split" and the thrill of a chaotic relationship in "Joyride". The album incorporates an updated pop-rock sound that reinforces the record's energetic yet introspective tone.

Seventh studio album of The Prodigy released in 2018. Its duration is 37:42. Their last album with Keith, who committed suicide. To support the album, the Prodigy began a world tour in November 2018. After Flint's death, the remaining tour dates were canceled. The album debuted at No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart, with sales of 23,952 copies, including 1,828 from streaming, making it their seventh consecutive studio album to reach No. 1. Neil Z. Yeung gave the album three stars out of five, stating: "Much like preceding albums The Day Is My Enemy and Invaders Must Die, No Tourists leaves little space to breathe, delivering a short and sweet set of blows to the head that was designed specifically for performing live. For better or worse, there aren't many new ideas here, but main man Liam Howlett is so adept at crafting explosive body-shakers that the lack of fresh concepts can be overlooked."

Third studio album by Zara Larsson, released in 2021. Its duration is 37:41. Short and sweet for a change. The album was supported by the release of five singles; "Ruin My Life", "Love Me Land", "Wow", "Talk About Love" and "Look What You've Done". The album received generally positive reviews from music critics upon its release, with critics mainly complimenting its production. Musically, Poster Girl is primarily a Scandipop, pop and dance record with elements of 80s synth-pop and disco. It is pure electronic pop, full of upbeat songs meant for dancing in crowds under arrays of colorful, pulsating lights.

Seventh studio album by Madonna, released in 1998. Its duration Is 66:52, it has 13 songs. A major stylistic and aesthetic departure from her previous work. Ray of Light is an electronica, trip hop, techno-pop and new-age record which incorporates multiple genres, including ambient, house, rock and classical. Mystical themes are strongly present in the music and lyrics as a result of Madonna embracing Kabbalah, her study of Hinduism and Buddhism, and her daily practice of Ashtanga yoga. Ray of Light was met with universal acclaim upon its release and is often considered Madonna's magnum opus. Madonna pursued a new musical direction with English producer William Orbit, which resulted in a much more experimental sound. The recording process was the longest of Madonna's career, and she experienced problems with Orbit's hardware arrangement, which would break down and cause delays until it could be repaired.

Fourth studio album by Marina Diamandis, released in 2019. It is so vibrant and upbeat, the Love part. Its duration is 56:16. I like its vibe very much, especially the energetic opening of the album. Groovy Karma on Fear side. Album is a bit too long for my taste. I feel it's the right time to say something about my new purchases for CD collection: Marina - Princess of Power, The Corrs - White Light, Britney Spears - Glory (Deluxe Edition), Zara Larsson - Poster Girl, Bebe Rexha - Expectations. I listened to like 9 albums yesterday (New Zara Larsson thrice).

Fourth studio album by Oasis released in 2000. Its duration is  47:53. Singles from this album are: Go Let It Out, Who Feels Love?, and Sunday Morning Call. It has a calm vibe, more on a tranquil side, which I quite like. My favorite tracks would be Gas Panic!, Where Did It All Go Wrong, and Go Let It Out. During a radio interview in 2002, Liam Gallagher said, "Some people reckon the album is shit, but I think it's a great album... it's just a bit different". In a 2011 interview, Noel disowned the album, stating that it should have never been made. He recalled that he "had no reason or desire to make music" and "just wrote songs for the sake of making an album".

Close win. Result: 69:64 with a lot of dunks. Box score: L. Doncic double-double 26 PTS, 12 REB, 6 AST, 2 dunks. D. Knecht: 13 PTS, 7 REB, 4 AST, 2 dunks. Gabe Vincent: 12 PTS. 4 AST, 3 REB, 1 dunk. Jaxson Hayes: 10 PTS, 8 REB, 2 AST, 1 dunk. Bronny James: 8 PTS (3-11 FG), 4 AST, 2 REB, 1 dunk.

New Zara Larsson album released in 2025. I'm after my first listen and I have to say I'm impressed. I think I'm gonna listen to it again today. The singles from this album are: Pretty Ugly, Midnight Sun, and Crush. Euro Summer is such a banger! Album's duration is 31 min 58 seconds (short and concise, just the way I like it), it consists of 10 songs. It was labelled as dance-pop by Allmusic.com. Zara Larsson said: "I really am proud of my Swedish pop heritage, so I wanted to write about a Swedish summer where the sun never goes down. I wanted the whole album to feel like it's a summer night and it never ends." and she delivered.
