New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

Lakers finally win one. Vogel got smart and started Carmelo rather than bringing him in off the bench and Carmelo made big shots throughout the game

Ir was also good to have THT back with a set of young legs He also made some terrific shots.

Westbrook with a double double. If you count turnovers he would have had a triple double :eek:

Final 114-106
The main now now obviously is not by the highest salary. I believe AD should be the one taking over without James.

Almost forgot to watch the Bulls - Clippers game. My wife had me watching the Adele TV special.

Clips have won 7 in a row but the Bulls are looking good this year.

JJ Redick had Alex Caruso on his podcast today - Alex says the Bulls are for real.
 
after Lakers dismal performance last night against the lowly Wolves where they were blown out by 24 points and with LeBron out as well as almost half the team the Lakers IMO simply stink. They have an occasional flash of greatness only to turn over the ball on the next play or do something stupid. This has become an exercise in futility. The Lakers have a way of making the worst teams show up and blow them out of the water. The Lakers turn the ball over it seems on every 2nd possession and are the 3rd worst in the league. Defense is a words they don't know and stamina and endurance is something which left these guys years ago. Simply put the Lakers are a bust. Lebron remains animated on the sidelines weighed down by all his bling yet this is the 4th game he has sat for an abdominal strain. These guys have all seen better days. I had to turn off the game last night in the 3rd period. It was that bad. Westbrook IMO is the biggest disappointment. He turns the ball over it seems more than the entire rest of the team. I see them fading and then struggling for a play in position at the end of the season. IMO Rondo is a better PG than Westbrook who does nothing but scowl and scream when he misses a shot because he claims he was fouled yet there was no one beside him. I personally detest that attitude of his as he seems to think he is so much better than what he is. Until the Lakers ever get back to full strength they are fodder for the rest of the league as there is not one team so far that the have played that has shown them any respect. They are getting beaten handily by the youth of the league as well as the perennial stalwarts

So until their ship is righted my sights have turned to the GSW who are back with a vengeance and the Suns as well are also looking better with each game
So you are turning your back on the Lakers and going with the Warriors?

No more flip flops then - you have picked your new team, GSW. ;)

Reggie Jackson wearing two different color shoes tonight - one green, one blue.

No sure what that means.

Damn


old habits die hard Mike. I’m disappointed in what I’ve seen this year and i know the season is young but truly the Lakers make bad teams look good
 
Clippers winning streak ends at 7 as the Bulls will win tonight
The Bulls are a young gutsy and very talented team. So are the Clipps but the BulLS outplayed the Clipps tonight.
 
Having said that it’s tough not to like the Warriors. I know you and Draymond have issues Mike but watching Steph play is like poetry in motion. He’s showing no signs of aging as he’s still the greatest shooter that the league has ever seen

Sounds like marriage :) Nice win by the Bulls on the road and as a bounce back after Curry destroyed them, and without Vukevic as well. Having two closers in Lavine and Derozan drastically changes the team.

Ouch!

what I don't get is that the Wizards are in first in the east tied with the Nets but the buzz is around the Nets , the Bullsand the Cavs ( who amazingly are a game out of first). I don't get it why none of the sportscasters are talking up Washington who I think is a vastly better team since they parted ways Wirth Westbrook. Lakers IMO got the bad end of that trade

Wizards are very strong on paper and in fact translating it to wins. When I think of the Wizards I can't help but think of what happened to John Wall. Well, a few clicks and I found him now playing for the Rockets with a $41m price tag and I never even saw him play in Houston. Must be that injury. And here is another 'shocking' article.
