if they beat the Sixers and the Bucks I will give them a good chance of doing something great this season. I think Gobert is settling in, and Edwards is showing his potential.
C's beat Sixers from start to finish, impressive as they did not have Unicorn and Brown. The bench stepped up and it is a very important element in the quest for the title. And they won on the road. Big Win. Embiid as usual can score at will but good thing Horford is not letting him run through him, he still can bother Embiid's shot with his good timing.
Suns with big lead over Wolves in the 2nd. So far I don't think the big 3 of the Suns had played together for a game. Tonight, Beal is out, before it was Booker out.

Meanwhile at home to Sacramento Lakers on the the back end of a back to back are getting killed Kings are dropping threes and Sabonis is playing tough under the basket at both ends of the court
I just checked YouTube for a compilation of his dirty plays and I just picked the shortest compilation, 4 minutes.
Kick to the groin, stomping on chest, choke hold, raking the eyes , pulling the feet, why these are all wrestling moves . Someone should give him a body slam someday when about to be waived, or retire.
Lakers were never in the game and down by as much as 26 points. They made it interesting with a run in the final 5 minutes closing to within 9 but 23 Lakers turnovers were way too many.
Sabonis was the big difference in the game as the Kings hold to win and make the Lakers nothing but a .500 team and in this league that won’t cut it
The Grappler got a dose of his own medicine. He seems to act like he's in extreme pain, or was the an acting flop job ? Many would have embraced Jarred Allen for the kick job.
watching the Lakers last night made one thing for certain......Lakers commit 23 turnovers and Le Bron gets a triple double but Lakers lose by 15. AD was a no show . To me the Lakers have become a so-so .500 team and unless the young new additions find a way to plat Dee the Lakers will to rise to a top tier team. For a guy who is in his 20th season and carry the team game after game, no matter how they control his minutes the Lakers are destined to be spoilers and not contenders. Having said that it is remains refreshing to see the OKC, Mavs, Wolves, Rockets and Kings in the top 6 spots. IMO they all deserve to be there. And this season is only 10 games in......

It's good to see Dame pick up the pace in Milwaukee as last night he scored 37 points. The big 3 remain at the top of the EC. It will become commonplace this year for teams to rise and fall significantly in the standings as the top teams are so close that only a few games separate the top 8 teams
well the longevity of stardom in the NBA is finite as Mother Age catches up with them all and I read this today and it shows confirms that nothing is forever
game to watch tonight is Clippers-Rockets. Rockets have beaten some very good teams and are well coached so I am betting Rockets tonight. If Clipps continue to fold, I expect to see an early season move by Ballard. IMO he'd be nuts to wait until end of season to make a coaching change. Question is who sits beside Lue o the bench that can assume the job
I thought this to be a very meaningful statistic......to wit....how teams do when they play a team with over a .500 average. A sobering reality check for me to see where the Lakers are as they are suffering from what did the GSW in last year and that was, they couldn't win on the road
