New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

The Cavs continue to rock as they knock off the Bucks tonight. 119-90 in Milwaukee Cavs are now only 2 1/2 out of first.
Also Nets Lose to Orlando at home in Brooklyn
Warriors lose to Raptors in Toronto

The parity in the league from top to bottom is so good that just about every game is exciting.
 
Could the league be headed back to the bubble
Two games postponed today

Frank Vogel out due to Covid protocol

This is spreading like wildfire and teams are forced to play with only 8 players suited up
 
Four games tonight have been postponed.

this is not good
Can't understand though that despite the majority of players having the vaccine, why the spike happens again.
 
Great game

DeRozan is amazing

Lakers cave again in the 4th and as always no defense and too many turnovers

they had this game and choked when the game was in the line

Final Bulls 115-110
Saw the last quarter. Lakers missed the clutch shots towards the end. Melo was good for 2 straight 3s then bombed out. Westbrook missed some penetration shots and LeBron missed those 3s. Got to be age and fatigue affecting their accuracy.

Trevor Ariza was in the game twice and looked like a fish out of water. On the second time in he missed a clutch pass that if he scored would have tied the game. Instead the Bulls took possession and deRozan went on a scoring spree and the rest is history

Lakers have nothing left in their tanks in the 4th and continually turn over the ball and/or miss easy shots. Westbrook had no problems getting to the basket ....he just could not score

LeBron was missing everything. Lakers continue to prove that they are at best a .500 team and nothing more. If there is something good coming out of all of this is Carmelo who I feel was the only worthwhile player obtained by the Lakers in the off season. He is very accurate from 3 point range. But I'm also impressed with IT. His play was inspiring to an otherwise lack luster team. In fact IT started the game rather than coming off the bench. It shows how desperate the Lakers are

And Friday they are home at Staples to the Suns. They willl get killed by Phoenix o_O

I chanced upon a video of AD being hit in the knee by a diving opponent who looked like a bowling bowl striking a bowling pin that was Davis. And the walk to the locker room was concerning as Davis suddenly flopped down to the floor while being assisted by 2 personnel.

Latest news on AD is he will miss a "minimum of 4 weeks which to me puts the nail in the Lakers coffin

Watching Caruso and Lonzo destroy the Lakers last night was enjoyable. They played quick, accurate and always with a smile whereas the Lakers were huffing and puffing. If only they had gotten rid of Lebrun or never acquired him and developed all of their younger players, I believe they would be in better shape now than they are currently with LeBron

I also thought IT was hitting 3's last night with great accuracy.

The team needs to be blown up at year end . I favor shopping James, AD and Westbrook and see if they can pick ups few young stallions who with time and patience can form the backbone of a great team again

I would keep IT and Carmelo and THT and build a new younger team. Even Rondo was showing his age last night by missing almost everything and constantly making errant passes. This is a different game and teams with young fast and accurate players is becoming the league norm.]

I just cannot see LeBron being shopped nor traded in the here and now till he says he's done with his career. Everything needs to be approved by Lebron ever since he went to South Beach. He built that 'power', and I have to hand it to him. He's not just a basketball player in the strictest meaning of the word. Trading him would be the worst dent to his 'damn respect' quest.

I agree with Phil - LBJ isn't tradeable because he's LBJ.
Don't know who would want Westbrook at his big price tag.

A.D. has a lot of value so definitely takers for Davis but hard to get equal value when you give up a big time player like him - even with his injury history.

How about Kawhi for Anthony Davis? ;)

Sadly I agree with both of you about LeBron.
I also think they are stuck with Westbrook.
AD seems to be a pace behind his usual self over the last month
