New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

Rockets lose to the Jazz taking their record to 1 - 3. Must be the Curse of Carmelo (Anthony).

Seems like it.

Lakers finely prevail over Suns and so far Curry has scored 51 as GSW is coasting over the Wizards

Someone told me today that Vegas odds have Luke Walton as the first coach fired this season

Kawhi is showing the world his worth, short of unstoppable. And that is not good news for the Celtics. Those mid range fade away shots - money in the bank. Toronto now 5-0.

I'm surprised at the news on Luke, Steve, but Thibs seems to be in that group as well. After Luke, who else is there to 'coach' LeBron? Is there another Lue, ie Brian Shaw?

Why don't they just wave Melo?

Oh my.

@wojespn reporting the Rockets are offering FOUR 1st-round draft picks to the Wolves in exchange for Jimmy Butler

Good to feel wanted.

Would be a shame if Luke was fired.

Celtics beat the Thunder. Westbrook bricked a couple three pointers near the end of the game to enable the Boston win.

I was thinking the C's will be blown away from the get go, but somehow their shots started to drop in and their D tightened a bit. Hard to imagine Thunder are 0-4 right now, with the reigning MVP and another all-star.

Meanwhile, Detroit is 4-0, with man monster Andre Drummond doing much damage with back to back 20-20 games. Lots of young teams hungry to win, early in the season.

Kuzma nails a 3 at the buzzer to end the half putting them up 58-57 over undefeated Denver

Lakers have speed and scoring.They don't even miss Rondo or Ingram

Blake Griffin had a big game earlier this week for the Pistons - 50 points and 14 rebounds vs the 76ers.

Lakers have a 2 game win streak as they defeat the Nuggets and LeBron a triple double

 

[WLVCA]

Nice win by the Lakers. Good game.

Looking at the standings in the east and west there are a lot of unfamiliar teams at or near the top. OKC is winless and even the Lakers are ahead of the Rockets

The Lakers finally are a fun team to watch, win or lose and I think they could be big spoilers in the west

Showtime is back, Magic should be happy.

My son told me that a commentator during the game said that the young ones should run and gun for the first 3 quarters and keep the score close, and let Lebron take over in the last quarter.

Clipers beat the Rockets (again!) 133 - 113 !!

Good for Doc. I saw his interview with Kristine Leahy and he said this team is not really a rebuild.

 

[WLVCA]

I just watched that interview - thanks for the tip. I liked Kristine Leahy when she was on the Colin Cowherd show and looks like she will do bigger and better things. Didn't realize she had worked the local Celtics broadcasts.

This year's Clipper team is interesting to watch. They hustle and scrap on every play. No superstars but good players up and down the roster.

Most Clipper fans weren't Austin Rivers advocates but it was good to hear he handled the trade to the Wizards so well.

Yeah, from the outside, I had mixed feelings about the hiring, and contract of Austin, given that he wasn't really that consistent in his plays. And yes, I'm happy Doc found a good way to do the deal and hope they both do well.
