New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

[rblnr]

Def agree he was duped. Personal assurance from Kyrie vs all evidence to the contrary.

Early blowout game turns out thrilling as the Bulls stormed back to take the lead in the 4th and won to eliminated the Raptors, who missed 18 free throws out of 36. That's one way to lose a game. Bulls vs Heat for the 8th spot to face the Bucks.

I’m betting Bulls.
Derozan and the white mamba

another part of the Zion drama.....what an absolute bust watching him sit for the most part of every season.

Zion Williamson aims to conquer 'mental battle' before returning to play​

The 2-time All-Star admits that his string of physical setbacks have taught him that "nothing is guaranteed."

So we have 2 former no. 1 picks dealing with mental issues - Zion and Simmons. A third is perceived to be as well, but apparently he doesn't even know it - Kyrie.

I’m surprised. I one is talking about the Kings -Warriors series.
Mike Brown vs his old boss Steve Kerr.

as much as I picked the Kings to be another Cinderella team I have to favor the GSW to defend their title. With Wiggins back they have the potential. To me the West is undecided as there are 8 good teams.

I wonder how Zion is feeling tonight when I guess he was over his hamstring injury but had to work on his mental issues while his Pels lost at home in New Orleans and are eliminated. Well there’s always next year.

He said in an interview he really wanted to play but is afraid to make some moves that might aggravate his injury. He's frustrated, but he's said a max $200m over the next 4 or 5 years. So he's gotta find a way to be what he is capable of. Record shows he's played only 100+ games in 4 seasons, truly a terrible stat.

We know who are the stars that carried the Bucks to a title, but I'm reading that Brook Lopez is playing his best season. He's going to be a big problem for opponents as he can score from inside and outside, not to mention his defense in the paint.

 

[steve williams]

He’s a big boy. i enjoyed him when he was a Laker.

Watch him lumber down the court. He can do it in 4-5 easy strides

For the record, Zion made 'just' $13.5m for this season. Next season he'll be paid $33.5m, ending in 2027 where he'll be paid $41.5m. Maybe he will double his efforts next season. Not meaning he will sit out twice as much.

The next No. 1 pick. Pop is excited. Could it be a Tim Duncan draft moment all over again?

The losing is done, NBA teams now await 7-foot-3 Wembanyama

Gregg Popovich placed his left thumb on the inside of his right wrist, paused for a couple of moments and then confirmed that, yes, he has a pulse. It was also an indication when asked that yes, he is thinking about Victor Wembanyama. There are very specific rules that teams must follow right...

Another Ben Simmons

He's done zero and I would dump him fast. The Pels have the nidus of a good team. With him, things could easily have been different.

Dallas has to sign Kyrie. Even if he continues his franchise altering behaviour.

Otherwise Dallas gave away two very handy rotation players/starters and a First for nothing.

That is true.

Lakers have been doing that for years . Kyrie to me has bad chemistry for any team. He truly marches to the beat of a different drum
