New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

[steve williams]

Lakers got killed in the third. AD scores all of 8 points in the game. Raptors took a 10 point lead in third. The fourth was all lakers as they took over and win their 3rd in a row and beat Raptors first time in LA since 2014

Final Lakers 122-112

I almost choked on my breakfast cereal as I see the Lakers are in 9th and only one game out of 6th and this is all without LeBron. D'Angelo Russell is a huge addition to the team

Bucks are looking pretty invincible as they have won 19 of their last 20 games and are firmly in first place in both conferences. Will they continue their momentum and win it all or will they not be able to sustain their vigor and peak too soon?

Philadelphia has been winning some very close games in the waning seconds of each game. They seem to be peaking at the right time. Boston remains the Duracell bunny and keeps on going

As incredible as the Bucks are they go down to GSW 125-116 as Curry played his heart out. Great game

Curry when he scores 35 or more is always dangerous, specially in playoff games.

All of a sudden the Kings are 2nd in the West. Mike Brown or Mazzulla have my votes for COTY

Celtics drop 135 to win and come to 1 1/2 behind the Bucks. Both conferences are so tight

it seems the Kyrie to Dallas trade has done nothing for the hopes of the Mavs. I wonder how long before Kyrie demands another trade

He can't for this season. The interesting thing will be which team will sign him long term next season as he's a free agent.

Knicks sre fot real as they defeat the Lakers in a back and forth battle 112-108. Knick’s will be a factor in EC

At least 3 consistent scorers for the Knicks. Defense is pretty good too.

 

[steve williams]

and if they are a factor they are peaking at the right time. It seems the only team that didn't fare well at trade deadline is the Mavs with Kyrie

I believe Kyrie is damaged goods. No heart to play team ball.

Anybody have any idea what's happening with the Wiggins family? I hope it isn't bad but the way things are going it must likely be just that

Nuggs' competition in the West all suffering set backs of one kind or another. Finals bound? Odds appear to be increasing lest whoever first round play in team they face really, really peaks on BOTH ends.

I don't think anybody knows, Jack. Warriors are keeping mum on it, so it must be something really top secret, and some are not sure if he will even play again this season. Tough news for Warriors fans.

Warriors unsure if Andrew Wiggins, out for personal reasons, will return

Andrew Wiggins has been away from the Warriors due to undisclosed personal reasons for a month

Totally agree Jack. I don't believe anything is a given in either conference. Like you however the chemistry is always best when the team peaks and is at the height of its game when playoffs start. I like the new look Knocks. It was a back and forth game and the Knicks didn't solidify the win until the final minute of the game. Lakers if they end up in the playoffs could certainly prove to be spoilers but with a healthy LeBron in the mix, teams might not be anxious to face the Lakers

Dallas, at home, loses(with Kyrie) to Memphis104-88 (without Ja Morant)...Great trade that was

Dallas in 6th spot only 1/2 game ahead of Lakers (sans LeBron)

What's going on with Boston @jadis

This is no time to let up. they are usually the team which wins the close games but a tough loss to the Rockets 111-109

Giannis drops 46 at sacreaento as the Bucks win again . Final 133-124

In my mind, it's absence of Robert Williams , defense and rebounds. Big factor. Horford has to take his place. Not the ideal position for him.

GSW at home have a huge first period and go up by 25 but the Suns and Booker claw back in and come within 3 until the Warriors find their game again and defeat the Suns (sans KD), as Thompson sinks 33 in 1st half

Final GSW 123-112

Phoenix is an excellent team but at home Warriors are a different team. In the playoffs if GSW played the 1st four games of each series at home they win win it all
