New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

[WLVCA]

Truly unbelievable. The last gasp Lakers gave up a 26 point lead to the Thunder and lose to the Thunder 123-115

Thunder score 99 points in the final 3 periods

Lakers fall to 2-3

Westbrook tossed at the buzzer for poor sportsmanship. He's a whiney player who always scowls if he doesn't get the call he feels he deserves. He's over rated and past his prime

Too bad Russ looked like an idiot in front of the fans who supported him for so many years in OKC

 

[jadis]

If you want him for one season...he wears out his welcome quickly - both Clippers and Lakers let him go.

True, he was bad in the Bubble and worse with the Lakers, but as a Wizard he seems to be 'in the mood', playing very well now like he was for Doc pre PG and KL Clippers.

I saw that bit on Westbrook. Still I do not understand that unwritten rule that you're not supposed to score when you've a good lead with little time left. Like, who invented that?

No one. It’s called respect as they feel being posterized when they had already lost the game was too much for whiney Russ

 

[Steve williams]

Westbrook has failed miserably to catch on with any other team for which he has played. He needs to be number one. He’s not a good role player. Personally Id start Rondo at Pg abd bring Westbrook off the bench to run the second unit. He really can’t play third fiddle behind LeBron and AD. To my eyes he’s overrated and lakers are paying him almost $45M this year. I’d rather have Alex Caruso as PG over scowling Russ

OK, I hope he does better and likes playing for the Wizards.

 

[WLVCA]

Clips trailing at the end of Q1 23-14.

Lue is giving Justice Winslow a lot of playing time. Guess he's trying to find out if he's ready to make it happen

 

[WLVCA]

Clippers close the gap a bit but still down 47-40 at the half

 

[WLVCA]

Just read that JJ Redick is joining ESPN as an NBA analyst.

Also appreciated JJ when he was on the Clippers and now listen to his podcast.

He should be good on ESPN and hopefully improve their NBA coverage - they need some help.

 

[WLVCA]

Clippers can't buy a bucket and are down to the Cavs by 14 with 4 minutes to go.

I think this one is over. Clippers have work to do.

Nothing can trump the total collapse by the Lakers last night as they gave up a 26 point lead and lost by 8.


Having said that it seems that all of the top tier teams are losing night after night. Nets and Suns lose last night. In the East what a refreshing site to see the Bulls, Hornets and Knicks in the top 3 slots and in the West, the GSW, Utah and Wolves in the top 3

J.J. Redick....life after retirement.....

JJ Redick is joining ESPN as an NBA analyst a month after announcing his retirement following a 15-year playing career.

Redick will make his debut as a studio analyst on Nov. 3 during the game between the Brooklyn Nets and Atlanta Hawks. Besides contributing to many of ESPN’s studio shows, Redick will also be an analyst on some games this season.

“After 15 years in the NBA, I am excited to take what I have learned on the court and be able to provide my insight and strong opinions about the game I love,” Redick said in a statement. “I am thrilled to have found a place on the biggest platform in sports, ESPN. I look forward to starting my post-playing career with such an incredible organization.”

I'm sure he'll be better than Perkins.

 

[Steve williams]

Well if Perkins is correct Lakers need to win 68 of their remaining 78 games to win the 70 he predicted. The way they are going it will take two seasons ( or more) to hit 70 wins

 

[Steve williams]

Ja Morant is truly a super star as there continues to be upsets. How about the Grizzlies knocking off the previously undefeated Warriors last night in OT

The league is filled with great teams this year. It should be quite a season

 

[Steve williams]

And I just noticed the Knicks also beat the previously undefeated Bulls. In the East I see the Knicks as the sleeper team that just might surprise us at the end

 

[Steve williams]

Interesting to note the top 4 teams in the East and the West . I had to squint to believe what I was seeing. Season is young so predictions are impossible but all the top tier teams are mired in the bottom of the standings

 

[Steve williams]

Lakers at home tonight hosting the Cavs and as a life long Lakers fan I can tell you I d be shocked if this team is going anywhere. Too many turn overs and too many missed shots. Westbrook open there floor with James simply sucks as do the Laker so far tonight. Westbrook again continues to underwhelm

End of 1st Cavs 28-21

 

[Steve williams]

There isn't a team so far that has played the Lakers and with all of these future HOFers you'd think their opponents would plays with some trepidation. Bottom line is the Lakers are getting killed tonight by a bunch of young kids. The Lakers have no idea what defense is and these kids are taking the ball fearlessly to the Lakers.

 

[Steve williams]

At the half the gasping Lakers finally catch the Cavs with some defense

Tied at 54-54
