New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

changes have to come in Dallas. No team can ever succeed with only one player handling the ball and so far Luka is having an MVP year however the Mavs got blown out of the water by the Bulls in Chicago 144-115.

Cuban won't put up with this for long

and here is a good synopsis.....just remember Phil that on any given day any team in the NBA can beat any other. It's all about a 7 game series and who is the healthiest. Ive said my concern with the Celts is whether they have peaked and can maintain this intensity through the rest of the schedule. Warriors have no where to go except up and Celts have to maintain their intensity to stay were they are

Agree, Steve. Also, the huge experience of the Warriors in many finals play a big role. Celtics are greenhorns in this regard. Confidence and maturity and poise is needed in winning a championship.

By his past record, Cuban didn't want to pay Tyson Chandler big money after they won a title with Dirk. A few of the core were oldies, Kidd, Marion, Jason Terry, and in a year or 2, they sort of retired or went to other teams. This is one time they got a big young star in Luka, and he Cuban still holds back, nothing much will happen to his team. Oh he also let Brunston walk to the Knicks.

I believe Cuban will make a move. He can’t win with only Luka

I was wondering if Donnie Nelson is still the GM of Dallas. Was suprised to find this.

Former General Manager Donnie Nelson Sues Dallas Mavericks

The lawsuit alleges that the Mavericks terminated Nelson because he reported sexual misconduct in 2020.

Zion is healthy and the Pels are rolling as they once again beat the mighty Suns in OT at New Orleans. Suns have a 4 game lose streak and are now in 4th place 2.5 games behind. With Memphis and Denver rounding out the top 4, the WC is upon for grabs this year. I would love to see the Pels in the play offs where finally with Zion and all of their trades they have become a marquis team. I'd love to watch the looks on Jeannie's face as well as Pelinka when they see how they made the Pels what they are today. C J McCollum was a huge trade for them

Lakers beat Pistons last night (yawn) as once again the news in LA is the LeBron tracker and points required to beat Kareem's record

I was able to see him play in the 70s. Might not be the fastest nor athletic forward but has great basketball sense and dedication to the game. A no nonsense player, he'll be missed.

I'd rather be seeing young sensations like Zion and Morant wow us basketball fans than a gate crasher aiming for his own accolade.

Wow. at home to the Celts the Clipps beat Boston by 20.Not to fear however as in a back to back the Clipps face the mighty Lakers tonight. Boston should right the ship unless this road trip proves the Celts are vulnerable. Lakers will give them run for their money

 

[steve williams]

I admit Im a fan of Ja Morant who seems to improve every season. but this morning read says it all....

The explosiveness, finesse and feel that turned Ja Morant into an elite paint presence​

'He's always got something up his sleeve': Inside the paint is Ja Morant's blank canvas

Memphis' 6-foot-2 superstar is right at home in the land of giants.

Celtics not playing sharp these last 2 games on the road. Kawhi and George both played very well and once again the Celtics tandem didn't rise up to the occasion.

Bucks wins big against Warriors. Bucks are now half a game into 1st place in the East. Intact and solid lineup. They are a force.

I remember as a kid watching him play

Warriors still can’t win on the road as they lost to the Bucks
meanwhile at the end of first Celts with a 12 point lead over Lakers. Lakers are a good team for any other team, to regain their confidence.

 

[steve williams]

Quite a game at Crypto.com

Celts up 20 at the half and Lakers go on. 35-5 run in the 3rd to give lakers a 10 point lead. Lakers cave and let the Celts back in and AD misses 2 free throws with 4 seconds left which would have iced the game and Tatum ties the game at 110 to force OT

Lakers take an early 4 point lead but there rest was all Tatum and Brown as the Celts prove they are the best in the league.

Final Celts 122-118
As I said, Lakers are a great team for any other team with a losing streak to play. Lakers have a way to restore the confidence in other teams
