Still lots of game and too close to call. Butler is a game changer. He will be. missed in the 2nd half
New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season
- Thread starter Ron Party
- Start date
I called the unsexy Nuggs to come out of the West at the start of the Season and still believe this to be true based on Murray's return and to some extent Porter Jr. Murray left a very big impression on me in his performance in the bubble. Sadly for the Suns, the OTHER guy that made a huge impression on me and also got sidelined by injury is still injured. That would be former Pacer (Boohoo) TJ Warren. These guys when healthy are true all star caliber scorers each having gone off for 40+ point games with efficiency in the playoffs. Murray is every bit as scary as Fox IMO he just uses slickness instead of lightning speed. Warren was a fast tall wing. Great for allowing rest for either Booker or KD or joining them when Ayton sits.
A healthy and complete Nuggets team is the scarier to me than the 76ers and Boston.
My sentimentality is for the Dubs as far as all remaining teams go but I think they are just too small. People say they were small last year but they are even smaller now.

Heat just couldn't keep the lead and there were 13 ties and 15 lead changes however 4th quarter was all Brunson and his long 3's which took over the game
Knicks even the series. If Butler had played the Heat would be up 2-0
Final Knicks 111-105

At the back of my mind I share the same feelings. This is the kind of stuff that Adam Silver loves. Imagine globally, the coverage , of this glittering matchup. I've read that courtside seats in LA are hitting record highs, for games 3 and 4. There is a live FB channel here that has 400k viewers, and there are 2 more live feeds with very high viewership. Call it 'glamor' basketball.

4th period was the best I've ever seen in years
Lakers roll to a 14 point lead and had the game won until Steph and Klay and Poole hit all 3's and tie the game with 1:36 left at 112-112
Davis takes the final rebound and Lakers take the lead at 115-112 with 4.7 seconds left in game
Lakers have possession and Schroder is fouled and closes out the game
Lakers steal game one but man were they lucky they had that 14 point bulge
Final Lakers 117-112
Laker are 15-4 in last 19 games

Perkins, 1 point. He needs 11 more to fulfill his prediction. The guy is not a clown after all.

AD IMO has become central in the success of the Lakers. He is everywhere, scoring, defending the rim and taking rebounds as he is also scoring more than any other part of the season. He somehow has mustered the will to win and IMO has been a guiding light for the Lakers in the post season.....

as much. as I would be happy to see the Knicks advance in the playoffs, all eyes are on the Heat as they have proved their worth. There is no doubt in my mind that as Butler goes, so goes the Heat. It is tough to see an injury dictate an outcome. If butler played yesterday I have no doubt the Heat would be up 2-0
Pivotal game tonight for the Celts, looking t redeem their loss against the powerful Sixers without MVP Embiid. Tonight will hopefully show the Celtics remain formidable. In their loss to the Sixers, for the first time this season I saw a Celtics team lose because of too much hipper dipper on the court and no one wanting to take the shots. A loss tonight would be a dagger in their heart

Sentimentality aside, I think a Nuggs vs Sixers finals would be really cool. It will certainly be different.

a lot of us here on the west coast are hoping for a Lakers Celtics final
That would be nice too. 2 MVPs as poster boys for the Finals . I wonder if Joker can become as tough as Dirk in his Finals run. I hope so. I've been waiting for that moment. Murray will be his Robin. Also, many many people have been waiting for the process to happen to the point that today nobody talks about the process anymore. At least 2 number 1 overall picks that went bust. Embiid is last stand of the process. Harden, like Davis is suddenly rejuvenated. They've got a good team now really. Last year they lost to Miami, and if they get past Boston, I believe they can beat Miami now.
That will be Jackpot event of Adam Silver. He might come to watch every game.a lot of us here on the west coast are hoping for a Lakers Celtics final

In my observation, new coach Joe differed from Udoka in the usage of starters and bench players. The former does not use Grant Williams much since he's got 6th man Brogdon. I like Brogdon a lot but I wish coach could find time to give Grant Williams some good minutes. If Embiid comes back, no way Horford can handle him as Robert Williams comes off the bench. Both should be starters and White should come off the bench. And most of all, practice those passes.
