New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

[WLVCA]

If Demarcus Cousins comes back from his achilles injury and is anywhere close to his former self.....tough to stop.

I don't think too many teams will be roughing up Steph if they have to contend with Draymond and Cousins.

 

[JackD201]

I think West was just as good a deterrent on that front.

Maybe at 27. Don't know about 37.

Jeanie Buss called out fans who are not happy about LeBron joining the Lakers

"They’re not Laker fans if they’re not happy about LeBron joining the team."

Strong words given the varying opinions of The King.

what else can she say? She's the one who signs the $155M pay checks

She is a strong minded woman. I'm not sure about ever criticizing the fans BUT she is who she is. I am no LeBron fan BUT, in today's game, these kind of deals and coordinating teams is the way it is so I guess she is right in today's NBA. The days of the Old Knicks, the era of Larry/Magic/MJ/Isaiah/Malone/TheDoctor/Miller and even Kobe are long gone.

So "Laker Fans" whatever that means in today's world, rejoice that you have one of the best that ever played to watch

as a Lakers fan for over 40 years that is just about where I am in my thought process and BTW I like Jeanie

I liked her better when she would come out to Montana.

Well the only time she came to Montana was when she was engaged to Phil

Exactly!

 

[Steve Williams]

IIRC she also dated Curt Rambis

 

[WLVCA]

Steve Balmer is all fired up (that's not unusual).

He intends to build his own arena in Inglewood and get out of the Staples Center which the Clippers and Lakers now rent from the owner of the LA Kings.

(Staples Center and hanging out downtown and in LA Live was one of the reasons I liked going to Clippers games).

He will not move the Clippers to Seattle - paying for an arena in SoCal (Inglewood) would certainly preclude that for a long while.

The Clippers will not tank like the Sixers but will rebuild quickly thru free agency.

You have to admire the man's spunk, that's for sure.

Best case scenario is a .500 record next year in my mind so I hope he and Jerry West pull a few superstar rabbits out of their hats in the summer of 2019.

We've all suffered through some bad seasons with our teams so I guess it is my turn now.

 

[JackD201]

My team seems to just want to stay in the middle of the pack in perpetuity I think the Pacers did well last year and surely got a good player in Tyreke Evans in free agency but it is a weird looking roster overall IMO.

 

[WLVCA]

I thought the Pacers played well against the Cavs in the playoffs - great performance by Victor Oladipo

 

[JackD201]

Oh definitely. I think the players over achieved in a sense. I hope Dipo never loses that giant Dorito on his shoulder.

Unexpected help from a 'rival'. A Laker helping a Celtic.

I know get to appreciate Kobe more.

Sounds like another great conspiracy theory...Kobe turns his back on the Lakers, secretly working for the Celtics.

sort of like Jerry West (the logo) working for the Warriors and now the Clipps

The dynasty isn't breaking up any time soon
