New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

Warriors lost to the Magic which has erstwhile won only 1 game. Those young kids of the Magic are really good.

The big question is whether the Draymond punch is having a lingering adverse affect on the Warriors team

Interesting how the league forces an owner to sell the team but the multi gazillionaire players like Kylie get a 5 game suspension

Barkley made the same point the other night. Asked why the players association hasn’t said a word.

Kyrie gets suspended.

I’ll be interested to see how the discussion goes with the Commish who is Jewish and doesn’t take antisemitism lightly. IMHO Kyrie is such a negative distraction to the league that it’s about time he draws additional suspension time from the league as well as other fines. I hope all his sponsors drop him. Time he goes back to the sidelines and does his native dance as he spreads foufrou dust on the court

Totally agree, Steve. And hope the he just disappears from the league. Talent alone does not make a great player. Irving should note why he wears a small number 6 on his jersey in honor of a gentleman, civic rights advocate and great player Bill Russell.

Lakers drop another game last night to the Jazz and remain in the 2nd to last spot behind the Rockets

Lakers have become an embarrassment to th purple and gold as LeBron has only one task this year and that's to overtake Kareem as all time leading scorer. It'll be hilarious accepting the award as they are mired in the cellar with no relief coming. Blow up the team Jeannie and while you're at it, get rid of Pelinka

Utah, after trading away Mitchell and Gobert, is surprisingly tied for first place in the west. Markennen and Olynyk are playing really good basketball and much improved from stints with their old teams. Conley and Clarkson form a good backcourt as well. The imprints of Ainge is all over the jazz team. He hired a very young coach, and has a competent team now while hoarding a stash of draft picks. I hope his team doesn't get to face the Celtics someday.

The red hot Cavs visit Crypto.com center where LeBron and the Lakers almost certainly willl fall to 2-7

What a change in team standings at this early position go the year. Who would have thought the GSW would be tied with Lakers in the 14th spot in the West.

Is this still fallout from Draymond or are all teams so much more competitive (except of course the purple and gold)Kings who I thought would excel are only so so and the Wolves who I believe will go deep this year are merely 5-5

I think Atlanta in the east and Memphis in the west have the best back court duos.

FWIW all 30 teams play tomorrow night and every game is being televised

As predicted Lakers lose big to the Cavs even after leading through the first half and part of the 3rd when their best player was Westbrook. But then Donovan Mitchell took over and the Lakers looked like old men

Final 114 -100 (lakers score only 36 in the second half after scoring their highest points in the first half of the game

Total collapse of the 3rd period. How long is this poor coach going to last

But guess who's on track for his record chase? 20 plus points a game is good for his season target. Why doesn't he just score 8 points if the Lakers were to lose anyway?

When their best player was Westbrook

The Bum won't care as long as he is on track with his own - not in the slightest team oriented - agenda

Bad news for the Clippers. Knee soreness after ACL surgery for Kawhi. Same situation as Robert Williams of the C's.

Hawks prove spoilers tonight as they beat the previously unbeaten Bucks 117-98

And Boston looks good as they beat Memphis

LeBron sits tonight with a bit of load management. Lakers trail Utah 76-71 at the half

 

[steve williams]

and of course the Lakers lose and fall to 2-8

Maybe when LeBron overtakes Kareem there will be an asterisk beside his name that he did it when the Lakers finished in the cellar

All for his own name and glory. He should just have been a tennis player or pole vaulter.

I was thinking "horse shoes"

morning tally shows Lakers in free fall as they are handily defeated by the Clippers and fall to 2-9 and now are 1/2 game out of the league cellar presently occupied by the Rockets

And as if we should care LeBron leaves the game injured and could miss games as the cellar dweller prepares to overtake Kareem. What a travesty this year for the Lakers. I feel for Darwin Ham as he will be shown the exit door well before Pelinka or Jeannie consider some change is due
