Dear Mr. Porter:

My feeling is that the Lakers are in trouble, having lost their last three games to Miami, Charlotte and Orlando. They don’t seem to be playing hard. They may get to the NBA Finals, but I think they will lose to either the Cavaliers or Magic. What do you think?

Ross:

It is only March, Norm. The real season doesn’t begin until the third week in April, and the tougher series probably won’t begin until May. To knock the Lakers out, a team will likely have to win four of seven games. That won’t be easy to do.

Ross,

My family and I look forward to your website each Monday. Thank you for your insight and coverage of worthwhile events we would not otherwise know about. Your interviews are wonderful. We particularly enjoy the golfers’ sharings. We’d like to hear more from the ladies too.

We also look forward to your quote of the week. You come up with some great ones, and we often talk about them.

Keep up the good work.

Hi, Ross,

I have enjoyed hearing “Real Sports Heroes” on KBAD 920 AM in Las Vegas between 9:30 and 10 AM daily. I have been a big fan of yours since you were on channel 4 in Los Angeles, and
later when you announced the Dodgers games.

Best wishes,
