New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

As Sir Charles said post game “ KD and Kyrie played a fantastic game and barely held on to beat a mediocre team. I think the Celts will be fine Phil

That's encouraging to know, Steve. Fingers crossed. Well. if the C's get through, it would give them some real confidence going to the next round.

Tough loss by the Clippers last night but they played well and it was good to see PG exert his presence. They will be back for sure next year

I thought for sure they were going to win that game. Minnesota has proved to be a tough team and Beverley remains a thorn in the sides of his opponents

This has to be the read of the day as LeBron states he is not the General Manager

I can't believe that Pelinka is still there making news announcements

LeBron James, Rob Pelinka discuss Lakers' disappointing season, next moves

LeBron James, Rob Pelinka discuss Lakers' disappointing season, next moves

LeBron remains 'hungry' and 'confident' despite a rocky season filled with losses, questions about roster makeup and injuries.

I guess Jeannie is not going to do a major house cleaning, Steve. Pelinka also mentioned that James, from all indications, will not be leaving L.A.

 

[steve williams]

He’s not. It’s all about dreaming they can win it all with him and AD

Biggest money for 'sitting'. Ben Simmons is a far second. I believe Rockets also gave Chris Paul a long term contract in the 40s too. Rich team.

Report: John Wall exercising $47M player option with Rockets

John Wall – who drew the second-highest salary in NBA history this season – wasn't happy about sitting out all year with the Rockets.

And speaking of Simmons, he's projected to play starting Game 4 of the Celtics series. Wonder why he chose the 4th game, mental preparation of sorts?

 

[steve williams]

Remember what StephenA said. If Nets can get 20-25 minutes per game from Simmons they will win it all. I find that comment somewhat far fetched

 

[steve williams]

so Cleveland after a storied season falters at the end and gets eliminated by the Hawks.

I was surprised to see the Clippers were also eliminated by the upstart (finally) Pelicans and all of the Lakers trades for AD.

It's looking like the MVP will go to Jokic

I guess the big question now is whether the Suns have what it takes to go all of the way

​

Luka Doncic (calf strain) ruled out for Game 1 opener vs. Jazz​

The Mavs' star guard was injured in the team's regular-season finale and will miss the series opener vs. Utah.

 

[steve williams]

Utah easily takes game 1 as Dallas rests Luka

In game 2 Wolves come out charging and take an early 1st period lead of 28-15 with 5:05 left

 

[steve williams]

I was only just made aware that the Wolves have "the most 3 point attempts per game" as well as "the most made 3 point shots made per game"

It shows in this game

 

[steve williams]

Wolves go buzzer to buzzer to beat the Grizz in Memphis. Wolves aren’t intimidated by anyone as they steal home court advantage

 

[jadis]

Surprised to wake up to lots of playoff games, I thought it was still tomorrow. Yeah, Wolves are solid.

 

[jadis]

And how bout Zion wanting to play and the upper brass doesn't want him to? Treating him like an antique porcelain vase.

Report: Zion Williamson disagrees with Pelicans’ assessment that he’s not healthy enough to play

Williamson keeps throwing down highlight dunks where everyone can see them.

Warriors start strong and beat the Nuggets

Only upset was the Wolves over Memphis. FWIW Wolves and Grizz' split the season 2-2

I just heard Pelinka saying that when you have 2 superstars on your team and one of them is on the Mount Rushmore of basketball you have to be the protectors of his legacy and we will be collaborating with him in the off season to determine what he needs to do such"

What a crock of BS. This is the dick leading the stooge. Get rid of Pelinka but that doesn't seem to be happening any time soon

My take is that Pelinka's job hangs on the 'say' of LeBron, whom he is describing as on the Mt. Rushmore of basketball, but to protect his legacy?? Indeed I couldn't say it better than what Steve just said, a crock of BS. A big one too. And I think as owner of the Lakers, Jeannie is a bit 'frozen' as to what to do with these 2 - Pelinka and James, now that Voegel is out of the way.

Exactly how I see this matter

I don't now but did initially. Pelnka seems to be solid in his position with the Lakers. How can Jeannie be so blind
