New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

Interesting commentary re the Lakers and th play in.....to wit....the Lakers are 3-0 against OKC this year so the pundits are saying th Lakers are all about matchups,........they should beat OKC but then they have to play the winner of the 7-8 spot to play OKC (if they win the west....they don't have the same luck against the Nuggets.For me, I see them beating the Warriors in LA but after that the going gets real tough

do you remember this game Phil...it showed the greatness of Booker but the Suns still lost the game.......

March 24, 2017

Devin Booker of the Phoenix Suns scores 70 points in a 130-120 loss to the Boston Celtics. He shot 21-for-40 overall and was 24-for-26 on free throws and he scored 51 points in the second half as Phoenix tried to rally from a 26-point hole.

I vaguely do, Steve, but I have been calling him a machine gun shooter since those times.

Best game to watch today as it might be a reflection of things to come is the Thunder at the Bucks

Another good game but meaningless is the Lakers at home to the Pacers.

 

[Steve williams]

I still see the Clippers as a good team but not going deep unless I am badly mistaken

Watching Lue lose to Nick Nurse and the Sixers shows me the Clippers are overrated

Final Sixers 121- 107 Clippers

I would even put the Lakers up against the Clippers in a 7 game series and bet on Lakers to win

Zion scores 36 in the Pels win over Detroit. He might be 'peaking'. Good sign. For a big guy, his deft acrobatic layups are nice to watch. And being not that tall, he still eludes the bigs enroute to the hoop.

Bucks are destroying OKC with a few minutes left. They are complete and solid, with the Doc at the helm,

Maybe the Clippers are missing Mr .5

The real SGA failed to show up tonight. He was missing everything even from the line. The Bucks had fire in their eyes tonight and looked unbeatable. Giannis was on his game

 

[jadis]

Bobby Portis is peaking a bit as well. I didn't know he's got a smooth long shooting range. He is like a Michael Porter Jr., lean and tall and can shoot, and rebound too.

 

[Steve williams]

The Bucks played like champs tonight. Things will be tight in the EC. I hope Boston doesn’t get lax with their huge lead in the EC. Bucks sare a very tall team. Dame must be the shortest player on the team

My favorite player there is Middleton, very hardworking and no superstar ego, he is a clutch man too. Giannis is super when his jump shots are falling, not to mention his 3s. Open court drives are his bread and butter.

And the Bucks management has a mantra of win or bust. They have the complete pieces to do it. Celtics need to level up. They cannot play sloppy ball and have many turnovers which has been their waterloo.

 

[Steve williams]

The Warriors just don’t have enough gas to finish as they were one point behind the Wolves with 10 seconds. In the game. Wolves finished them out and won 114- 110 The warriors dynasty is sadly over

Yeah, it should be over. Houston might catch them for the 10th spot.

 

[Steve williams]

I agree. Not sure the Lakers even like the idea of playing a red hot Rockets team.

 

[Steve williams]

Lakers take a 19 point lead into the 4th and the Pacers close to within 4 with 4 minutes left in the game

This is a very exciting game. Pacers always seem to do well against the Lakers

 

[Steve williams]

How about this fact


I the EC 8 teams have already qualified leaving only the 9 and 10 spot

In the WC only the top 3 spots have been taken with 4-10 up for grabs

 

[Steve williams]

Another useless stat but tonight was the Lakers highest scoring game in regulation time or overtime .

Lakers pull away at the end but Pacers nail 3 deep 3's at the ed to close again to within 3

Final Lakers 150-145 Pacers

 

[Steve williams]

Lakers win 3 in a row and 8 of their last 12. Is this the run we saw last year.

 

[Steve williams]

Peace and harmony have been restored....the Nuggets are back in 1st now a half game ahead of OKC who really got beaten up last game by the Bucks
