New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

I have one other thought that might interest Phil.
Could the Sixers be the EC Cinderella team as were the Lakers last year. If so could that mean a Celtics Sixers EC finals. I would find that more interesting than Bucks vs Celtics

Lakers play the Wolves today. If they win that one I would have to think the Lakers can’t be discounted.

I can’t remember last time Lakers were 9-1

Steve, that would be a rematch of last year's ECF - went to 7 games after Philly took a 3-2 lead, Celtics advanced, Doc fired.. Philly has been the C's traditional rivals. Embiid is unstoppable too.

FWIW Doc is now 15-16 with the Bucks. To me it will be hubris to see them exit early. Only one I feel sad about would be Dame

if the Bucks depart early, management would need a good psychiatrist if they rehire Doc.

Another loss by the Bucks to the Knicks. I wonder how the fans feel about their 'management'. Win now mentality becomes lose now. The arrival of Lillard needed some adjustment for the first coach Griffin. When he changed him into Doc, Doc had to adjust to the 'adjusted by Griffin' Lillard, to suit his own 'style', or non-style.

Well Lakers bubble is broken as they have a reality check as they lost to the Wolves dropping them back into 9 th spot

 

[Steve williams]

Here’s an interesting stat. Lakers are in 9th place in WC 9 1/2 games out of first. Bucks are in 2nd place but 15 games behind Celtics. Bucks are only 2 1/2 games better than the 9 th place Lakers Shows how good the WC is whereas Celtics are so far ahead Bucks can’t even see them

Steve, when was the last time the Eastern Conference looked competitive with the West? (It seems like forever.)

 

[Steve williams]

I think you lost the intent of my comment. It’s all good.

I was just asking for your view. I don't follow the NBA nearly as closely as you, but my impression is that the West as a group has been stronger than the East for quite a while.

 

[Steve williams]

Precisely my point

 

[Steve williams]

Gamer to watch tomorrow is the Celtics vs Bucks.

Though a no bearing game for the Celtics. Bucks are 15 games behind. The team that is 15 or more game behind in the West has been eliminated totally but the Bucks are number 2 in the East. Lol

 

[Steve williams]

the top 10 teams in each conference have been posted. Final few games will determine many finishing positions. Rockets have been eliminated.

Interesting read as it gives all of the Lakers possibilities

Giannis left the game with an injured calf as the Bucks beat the C's after leading all game. That is the obstacle that teams have to face, evade key injuries and finish the season intact. Boston now holds the record of being the only team in history to have no free throws in a game. Maybe it's a good idea now to stay away from being pummeled inside the lane.

Clippers without Kawhi and Harden beat the big 3 of Phoenix. Westbrook started, got 17 points and 15 assists. The unpredictable Clippers are at it again.

Warriors rain 50 cal sniper rounds on Davis-less Lakers and make swiss cheese of the purple and gold uniforms. That was nasty. Now they are only half a game behind. Who owns the tie brake?

Curry and company are not out yet till they're out. Curry is one of the very few guns who carries his team on his back when it matters.

Head on wise, Warriors 3-1 over Lakers. It's going to be one heck of an eliminating knockout game with the 10th seed going fishing after losing to the 9th team.

I'm eager to see playoff Zion for the first time. Had to review some highlights of his sensational Duke year and all I can say is he is playing only 50% now as a Pelican, if his Duke stint is the basis. The speed that he had then was truly awesome.
