New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

Smart commits another boo boo, long pass with 4 seconds intercepted.
 
Embiid was unstoppable. No answer.
 
Spurs lead by 8 at the end of first quarter.

San Antonio has interesting uniforms on tonight - white with orange and turquoise trim.

The look more like the Heat.
 
Clippers getting clobbered tonight. Now down by 14 and the Spurs aren't very good this year.
I am watching the game and was afraid to comment in case you didn't know

See, we "ARE" all in misery :oops:

At least Coach Ty Lue called the Clippers out for their pathetic effort vs the Spurs last night

so whats wrong with the Clippers. It can't all be blamed on the absence of Kawhi. I still feel the team needs a few trades to bring the team into contention.

Having said that Mike, you know the I have always wondered about the efficacy of TL as the Clippers coach. He ws the coach when LeBron and the Cavs won the championship however IMO it was LeBron who was coaching the team

As to your thought of KL and LeBron switching teams, IMO it is a lose-lose situation. Kawhi has more yers left in him than LeBron. Lakers effectively have no one to play the 5 position now that AD is out so I am wondering if LeBron himself will be called upon to play the 5. Lakers will never be more than a .500 club. If they qualify they will be positioned deep in the WC standings. I feel the same about the Clipps

BTW Patrick Beverly killed the Lakers in the Wolves recent win. The Clips should not have traded him IMO

Yes, I know you haven't liked any of the Clippers coaches of late - Doc Rivers and Ty as well.

Ty is well respected as an NBA head coach. Here is an example of how NBA GM's view him as best at in game adjustments and among the top coaches as a player motivator.

Can't change your opinion of course but you do have to give at least some credence to a survey of NBA general managers.


My proposed trade was Kawhi for Anthony Davis (not LBJ) - followed by a winky face since neither of them can even play at this point due to injury. :)

Changing gears, LeBron's deal only has one more year after this one so not too much longer. Plus you can never count LeBron out. Seems to me he helped win the 2020 title at DisneyWorld for the Lakers through great leadership and sheer determination. He hasn't lost those qualities.

Thanks for the update. I meant no disrespect. I haven't read those articles. That is an impressive read about Lue. As for Doc I think he is a far better coach than TL, however the year he was let go, I felt it was the right thing to do as I felt he "lost the team" after expectations were high. I just think the Clips should be doing much better than they are
 
I expected going into this season that the Clippers would finish somewhere in the vicinity of .500 and I thought that was realistic. Not certain at this point. Hopefully these last few games are an aberration - I can live with a mediocre record if it seems the players are playing with some spunk. Not easy to accept when they play poorly and with seemingly little motivation. The last two games were just pathetic performances.

In any event it is just a game so I think I'll recover. :)
