New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

[jadis]

and speaking of the ASG I now know that Adam Silver will never discipline Draymond Green. I almost choked when he was announced as one of the color commentators. I must admit he was duded out very nicely

Can't stand his face. I just learned that Joe Dumars of the Pistons Bad Boys era is now in charge of the office of disciplinary action of the league. With Silver, grappler Green can be his assistant someday.

Wow damien Lillard is game MVP

A few boos as they wanted Haliburton

I enjoy watching Lillard win the MVP as well as the 3 point contest

 

[jadis]

JT finally meets LB for the first time. Tatum has broken was few of Larry's scoring records in Boston but the key stat is Tatum has zero rings and Bird has 3.

 

[jadis]

Amazing Luka was not in the 3 point contest. Next time it should be a half court 5 point contest.

I would have to say that judging from the overwhelming defeat of the WC by the EC , the power has shifted from the WC to the EC which continues to make me believe that the EC will win it all this year. ....hello Boston Celtics

Media mileage. Yeah, yawn-worthy news. I'd rather see him win the 3 point contest or slam dunk contest for 6 years in a row and he really would be the undisputed GOAT in those 2 categories.

the passing of the guard seems to have begun at this last ASG....thankfully

Which superstar is the next face of the NBA? All-Star Weekend showcased plenty of candidates

'Just let it happen organically': LeBron's advice to the next face of the NBA

Who will succeed LeBron James as the face of the NBA? At All-Star Weekend, the next class of young stars made its case.

Very interesting.

[jadis]

Quite long,, but lots of revelations.

 

[jadis]

I didn't know Thomas played for Indiana University, but I was aware of him getting fired by Bird and replaced with Carlisle on the Pacers team. Indiana is truly a basketball rich state.

 

[Steve williams]

Bird was always a gym rat and dressed like a slob. He has gained a lot of work and paled when compared to the threads Reggie was wearing

But where is his damned respect when he even demands it?

I quite liked Vaughn and the Nets

The real season begins tonight.

The stretch run is indeed the best part of the season. Barring injuries I just can't see any team going 7games and beating the Celtics

 

[Steve williams]

Game to watch tonight is the LAC at OKC. Clippers are the hottest team in the league over the past 3 months but they notoriously rest their stars at the season end and I really like OKC. I wonder if Clippers regret trading him in the Paul George deal....Clipper have their big 3 1/2 so this final stretch will go right down to the wire IMO.

I've said here before that this year will end the GSW dynasty and changes are coming to the team. I don't expect Draymond or Klay to be with them next year..

Stephen Curry, Steve Kerr and a Golden State Warriors dynasty at a crossroads​

Stephen Curry, Steve Kerr and a Warriors dynasty at a crossroads

The whispers of a dynasty in peril first emerged after the 2019 NBA Finals, leading to a dramatic pivot. Then, three years later, a shocking title run changed everything. The team faced a reckoning then -- and now.
