New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

Mavs without Luka beat the Jazz and take a 2-1 lead

So far IMO the best series so far has been Memphis and the Wolves. Two very young and talented teams The big difference is Ja Morant for Memphis

I can't help but think that KD's move to Brooklyn rather than staying in a GSW uniform did irreparable harm to his legacy. Had he stayed they could have been a contender while Play was out but to move to Brooklyn and team up with the flat farther has tarnished his image. Im not so sure he will win another ring while in Brooklyn and will finish his career as a great player but not at the top of the heap

Even though the Heat finished first in the East the buzz still seems to be around Sixersd and Bucks. Can the Heat emerge from the East is the big question. They sure have the talent this year..

I hear he wants Kendrick Perkins as his assistant coach and Charles Barkley to be his talent scout

It takes me back to the era when Magic coached the Lakers briefly in 1994....what a joke

Johnson returned to the NBA as coach of the Lakers near the end of the 1993–94 NBA season, replacing Randy Pfund, and Bill Bertka, who served as an interim coach for two games. Johnson, who took the job at the urging of owner Jerry Buss, admitted "I've always had the desire (to coach) in the back of my mind."

Butler has a very good work ethics. Very passionate about the game. This may be his year.

Am still perplexed how Perkins can survive this long talking about serious basketball. The top brass at ESPN must have seen something in him. Times when seasoned analysts are being booted, the guy cracked a little joke about the Celtics opening a penitentiary and chained KD. And I even heard him laugh for the first time in the show. What a guy.

The shocker for me is Jeannie is keeping her stake in Pelinka. What a dud he is

What a turn around as the Bucks of last year surfaced tonight

Early in the 4th

Bucks 93-63 !!!

In a David and Goliath battle the Pels were in it to win it until the final 5 minutes when the Suns and CP3 took over

Final Suns 14-111

I gave up on the Heat game as the Heat were so far ahead....only to learn Trae Young makes the game wining shot with 5.5 seconds left in the game

@phil

Celts looked terrific and Nets look like they've given up the ghost as Celts go up 3-0 with a 109-103 win

Durant looks over the hill. How do we say sweep

 

[steve williams]

Utah also wins and series tied at 2-2

Only unbeaten teams so far are the Celts and the Warriors.

I'm cautiously happy, Steve. Still have to win 1 more game and not relax. It's a good lead. Their defense is impressive.

 

[steve williams]

What a game in Minnesota Wolves tie the series as they win 119-118

This is a fabulous series

Nets and Jazz look really bad without their Joes. Nobody is talking about these guys because they are role players but man, do these two teams miss Harris and Ingles respectively.

The Nets kind of remind me of LAL in that we are seeing ex-team members hooping great elsewhere.

East semis will be a battle of certified defensive JUGGERNAUTS. As projected Philly-Heat, Celtics-Bucks? Did I get the brackets right? OMG.

 

[JackD201]

The guard is a changing right before our eyes. Speed kills.

If projections are right, Jack, then the C's will have to face the Nets, Bucks, and Heat in order to get to the Finals. This is one of the toughest Eastern playoffs I've seen since the 80s Bird Celtics had to face the Jordan Bulls, the Moncrief/Lanier Bucks. the Dominique Hawks and the Dr. J Sixers. I'm happy to see the results of moving Brad on top and have a rookie coach Udoka steer the Celts. First half was not good but somehow after the trade deadline the C's caught traction and jelled. In most games, I was not watching, and in these 3 playoff games I have not watched them 'live' either. Tension is too much and this is just the first round. LOL.

As we say over here....Relax!...ANG PUSO! LOL
