and it started with a Dwight Howard album , on CD lol

 

[jadis]

Suns remind me of the Brooklyn team of KD, Kyrie, Harden, Simmons etc.

High octane motley crew that had not much coaching or goal to set other than the proverbial 'want to win the title in 1 season.

this aint the NBA but the Olympics as the USA closes out an excellent team from France to bring home the gold. Late in the the 4th France closes to within 3 but Steph took over the game and clobbered France with 3's from everywhere ...Steph hits 8 3 pointers for his only 24 point of the game.Steph should get a separate gold medal as he also won the previous game against Serbia to put the USA team into the gold. medal round. Steph sinks 4 tres in the final 2'11" to put out the lights for the France . USA wins their 5th gold in a row. LeBron was IMO borderline as he missed shots as usual and gave up the ball too many times late in the game but when it comes to crunch time Steph took over and the final 2 minutes were all Steph. I have to hand it to Team France, they hung tight until the final 2 minutes when Steph WAS the team

Final 98-87 USA

Phenomenal performance of Steph against the very aggressive French

 

[steve williams]

I thought the French team was very strong and Victor wept at the loss

Play hard party hard

serbia came close to upsetting the USA in the qualifying round for the gold but as I stated it was all Steph at the end of both those games. I saw Serbia has a player that was even bigger and taller than Jokic.

With the crowd, France's defensive aggressiveness, and American sloppiness with the balI, I liked the French chances. But then, Enter Sandman! What a show he put on at the end!!
I like the Olympic stage and format. In the knockout round you win or you gone.

The "king" and his court.....all the kid wanted was a photo as the megalomaniac enters a French restaurant and does a little dance

Hard to believe preseason games have already started with Celtics winning in Abu Dubai. However tonight Lakers play the Wolves and just when I was planning on enjoying the game, a reality check popped up to spoil everything. Without question this will be the biggest farce in NBA history IMHO of course

Basketball world anticipates historic LeBron-Bronny pairing on NBA floor​

The first father-son pairing in league history is sure to drum up plenty of hype and attention during the 2024-25 season.

T'Wolves & Knicks in the Finals... just saying, the trade good for both teams

So why did the Wolves trade KAT

 

[steve williams]

I’m watching the Lakers getting beat up by the Wolves as the first comes to an end with Wolves leading 36-23

The big news for me however is as woke as Adam Silver and the league was last year it’s been eclipsed this year. DEI has caught up with the league as the first nonbinary transsexual referee is on the floor tonight. Nuff said ….. pronouns used “they”.

Flores, who uses the pronoun they, is entering their second season as an NBA staff referee.

This is going to be a long season for the Lakers as they really have very little talent. Bronny played a few minutes in 2nd period and he is totally underwhelming as daddy watches from the bench. He seems slow, shoots poorly and can’t guard I’m betting he’ll play a few minutes with papa and then get relegated to the D League. Total waste of a draft choice.
