New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

I thought Jayson Tatum was most instrumental in last night's win over the Lakers. I think they will either go 1-4 or 0-5 on this road trip.

The Good Ship Lollipop is rapidly sinking

Yes Steve, Tatum had a great night. When he scores 30 or more points, chances are they win. 25 or less they lose. On both scenarios he attempts the same amount of shots, meaning, other players get fewer touches. Schroeder has been playing great too the past 4 games. Gained a lot of confidence and despite his lean frame, is the tough nut to crack when he penetrates.

Did you see the bump LeBron gave to Schröder as he was bringing the ball up court. Schröder bounced off him and flew back 5 feet

Missed that Steve as I was moving in and out of the tv room. I'll try to find it in YouTube.

C's got a 2 game winning streak going after beating the Thunder. Schroeder is getting more and more confident each game, I feel Smart should be the 5th man if Brown comes back. And C's above .500 for the first time. Maybe inspired by the Partriots run lately,

Lakers are at Detroit today. IIRC Detroit has even beaten the Lakers this year. Lakers are fading into the sunset as they are in free fall with no answer to any team. I am betting they will go 0-5 on this roadtrip

Boston looked like a more than capable team when they beat the Lakers. They will make the playoffs Phil. Lakers will be lucky to make the "play in"

Steve, don't you believe that LeBron can pull the playoff switch just like he said he did in Miami? He's got his approved players in Melo and Westbrook, and 2 former Celtics. The commentator in the Celtics game said LeBron didn't look worried despite the big loss. He was even smiling.

I noticed that myself. He seemed a little to cocky to me as they got blown out by the Celts No I don’t believe he can. Even Steven A says Le Bron will never win another ring as a Laker

 

[Steve williams]

Solid win by the Clipps over the Mavs. Reggie Jackson has become an integral part of the team. He’s great

I waswn't able to watch the last 2 Clipper games.

Somehow they lost on Friday to the Pelicans?????

Then they beat the Mavericks today which sounded good until I remembered that Luka is injured and didn't play.

Predictable …,..

At the half Pistons lead the lakers 68-61

 

[Steve williams]

Did you see the elbow from LeBron into Isaiah Stewart’s face. Le Bron gets a fragrant 2 and is tossed. Meanwhile Stewart has blood pouring down his face as he tries to fight with LeBron. Stewart is ejected as the game is delayed almost half an hour.
78-66 Piston lead

Pistons making it look easy as they lead 91-76 in the 3rd

the Lake show is circling the toilet bowl

I saw the replay. Looks like an inadvertent elbow but Stewart overreacted.

 

[Steve williams]

Much ro my amazement the Lakers overcome a 15 point deficit to close out the Pistons without LeBron. Pistons couldn’t find the basket in the 4th

121-116

Here are the latest power rankings in the league.

Phil and his Celts and me and the Lakers are so far down the list .It is refreshing however to see so many young teams high in the power rankings

Suns on a 12 game win streak and breathing down the Warriors necks

@phil

Celts win again tonight for a 3 game win streak. I'm jealous

Suns win their 13th straight and still trail the GSW by one game

 

[Steve williams]

LeBron is getting creative now in how he achieves effective load management. He’s missed more games than he’s played this year

LeBron James suspended 1 game, Isaiah Stewart suspended 2 games for on-court altercation​

Both players will serve their suspensions this week after the on-court altercation on Sunday.

Well Steve, that's something to write home about but they are still a big trade away from being serious contenders.

And by the way, the win last night was against a team with only 1 win.
