New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

[jadis]

Tatum nailed a big time 3 point game winner to beat the Sixers with little time left. Good sign.

Embiid threw a Jerry West shot that incredibly went in but he was a split second too late.

Celtics just always find just enough to get the job done. But it’s the Bucks though that are making the statement now

 

[steve williams]

Big games today to watch are Suns at Milwaukee and Lakers at Dallas ( there was the slightest hint in my mind watching last Lakers game that they are at least poised for next year but I have to wonder if they will make the "play in round" this year

 

[steve williams]

Fabulous back and forth game at Milwaukee who lead early by as many as 10 only to have Booker get hot and Suns lead through most of the 2nd half until the Bucks sans Giannis rally and come back to defeat the hot Suns (sans KD) to win their 14th straight 104-101

Suns, if they stay healthy with KD will be a team that most in the west won't want to face in the playoffs

 

[steve williams]

Doncic is one heck of a [player as the Mavs start strong and quickly build a 29 point lead however the new look Lakers come alive and cut the lead. End of half
Mavs 61-47

 

[steve williams]

Wow. Lakers catch them at 81 followed by countless lead changes

This game was as good or better than the Suns-Bucks game

Final Lakers 111-108

Have the new look Lakers really surfaced. This was a terrific game

Mark Cuban was stone faced on the sideline

I'm really sad about the pending injury that will end the Lakers season. This is a great group.

What pending injury?

 

[steve williams]

Well I awakened to find the Lakers on a 3 game win streak and are now in the 12 position , all of. a half game out of 11 and only a full game out of the 10 and final play in spot. Could this really happen

I don't know what pending injury is being discussed other than Russell out with an ankle sprain

 

[steve williams]

I missed the Portland game and Lillard dropping 71 points. he is such a great player to watch.

I also missed Jokic' big night against the Clipers

Nikola Jokic With A 40 Point Triple-Double Vs. LA Clippers​

Denver improves to 23-0 this season when the two-time Kia MVP registers a triple-double.

If Jokic keeps hitting triple doubles the Nuggetsd are unbeatable

 

[steve williams]

Knicks grab their 6th in a row as they beat the Celtics who are now tied for 1st with the Bucks. These remaining games in both conferences are going to get interesting

 

[Fishfood]

What pending injury?

The one that happened to Lebron yesterday. Season over. Ugh. Well we had a really nice 4 days of scaring the crap out of everyone.

I'm not a Mike Brown fan after his brief tenure with the Lakers. Having said that I feel he is a strong candidate for COTY Award with the Kings.....

Lakers at Memphis. No LeBron or D’Angelo. Lakers played a good first half and lead by 6 only to be crippled by turnovers and the Grizz scoring 47 points in the third broke the game open. New look Lakers can score but they can’t play defense and go down by 14 in the 4th. Lakers have a late game surge and cut lead to 7 but again they get killed by turnovers costing them possessions. AD is not the player of bygone years. He gave up a lot of rebounds and in his face dunks, missed threes and several free throws
Final Memphis 121-109

Lakers give up 46 points in the paint and almost as many on turnovers. Morant with 39 and a Triple Double

The return of KD could be the X Factor for the Suns getting to WC finals. If they can stay healthy they go very deep.

Tough to read about this but good for Vanessa Bryant to go after the LA County Sheriff's and Fire Departments. All the money in the world would not be enough. I will never forget that day ........

KD and the Suns walking all over the Hornets. Suns may just walk away with the Finals too.
