New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

[steve williams]

Lakers now tied with Detroit for an NBA record win streak of 1 game as they maintain their .500 status.The only stats we read here is LeBron and following him to 40K points

Final Lakers 134-110 Blazers

 

[steve williams]

But even though I remain naysayer I do admit the Clippers looked fearless tonight as they finish the game on a 22-0 streak and sink the Nets

So I am beginning to agree the 2 top teams in the WC at the moment are the Clippers and Nuggets but I still feel Suns and OKC could be the other 2 teams in the WC Final Four

 

[steve williams]

No doubt now that the day of a 2 super star team is now surpassed by the teams that have 3 or 4 super stars and the Clippers (3 1/2) and Suns are making this work

Lakers are a 3 star team...LeBron.....LeBron.....LeBron......... just ask him

I still have to believe that the Kia MVP award is Embiid's to lose​

​

Joel Embiid tops 30 points for 20th consecutive game​

Joel Embiid shoots 11-for-23 (11-12 FTs) to extend franchise-record streak of 30-point games.

But if I understood the new rule correctly, he can only miss one more game to still be eligible for the MVP title

they have to play 65 games.......no more load management

Bragging rights for LaLa Land resumes tomorrow with the Clippers hosting the Lakers. Lakers got the best of the last time but the Clippers are playing really well thanks to none other than Harden who with Westbrook continue to work for that ring. Clippers should dominate this evening.

D'Angelo Russel over the past few weeks has emerged as a scoring phenom and I do hope he won't be traded yet again from the Lakers

Up to this point, I had hoped he was traded. Not for his recent play, but from what I've seen previously.
Low-effort defence was my biggest annoyance with D'Angelo.
And remembering how ineffective he was in much of the Playoffs last year.

I can't disagree however over the past few weeks IMO he is in the top 3 of Laker scorers. To me he has become a big asset for the Lakers

I have noticed that when the Lakers start D Lo and Reeves, they had been successful. In short, let the real PGs be the pg's.

Embiid has 34 pts at the half against the Spur. He and Jokic are the 2 big men who can really score.

The man is a giant as he scores a franchise record 70 against SAS. I believe if he stays healthy and plays the 65 needed he will repeat as VIP

@jadis...... order has been restored in the universe and all is good again....

Power Rankings, Week 14: Top 10 sees shake-up; Celtics return to No. 1​

Significant shuffling is afoot in the Top 10 as all but 1 team retains its spot in that group this week.

A lot of high scorers last night, Embiid with 70, KAT with 62, has he come of age ? Tatum 39 and KD 43. The era of the dominant scorer is still around. LOL

 

[steve williams]

well how about this...Towns drops 62 last night for the Wolves who still lost the game to Charlotte

Karl-Anthony Towns sets Timberwolves mark with 62 points in loss to Hornets​

Minnesota's veteran center cools off after a scorching 1st half but still finishes with the highest single-game scoring output in team history.


Lately the Wolves seem to be faltering and Denver and OKC are on their tail. Im betting the Nuggs will soon be back in first but they have to deal with SGA and those pesky OKC players

Bucks fire coach after 43 games.

Bucks fire first-year coach Griffin after 43 games

The Bucks' .698 winning percentage is the best for a team that fired a coach during the season since David Blatt with the Cavaliers in 2015-16.

Doc is a candidate to replace him.

Heat gets Rozier for Lowry.

Heat acquire Rozier from Hornets for Lowry, pick

The Hornets traded guard Terry Rozier to the Heat for a protected 2027 first-round pick and Kyle Lowry.

And Im betting that's why he wasn't at the Celtics game last week
