New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

I agree. Sadly our good friend jadis has been fighting a very serious illness and I pray for him every day. Phil was the meat and potatoes behind this thread

The league stats, esp the WC have truly surprised me. The one I cant figure is the Suns and then the GSW. I am also surprised the Lakers ware where they are but even though I cant stand the guy, it has been LeBron , the oldest guy in the league to carry the team. Im surprised as well that AD is having a stellar year. I said at the season start that it wouldn't last but his stats are excellent. My favorite however remains Austin Reaves who is developing each year into an all round great player. However the Lakers Dee tonight will be IMO what will bring them down and your Knicks should easily win the game. Plus it has been a long road trip for the Lakers

So sorry to hear this news. I myself have been dealing with metastatic ca for past 11 months - sports have been blessed relief from morbid preoccupation... well, Yankees and Knicks; not so much Jets.

LeBron's play has been unfathomable... he's climbing up the GOAT chart in my list, now simply based on length of career playing at top-10 level. None have managed it before. Still hope to hand him a loss tonight.
 
My best wishes and prayers for you as well

I agree about LeBron. He is literally carrying the team and has risen on my GOAT chart as well

Having said that I expect your Knicks to soundly beat the Lakers

The other team I am miffed about this year is the Wolves. I thought for sure they would be top tier. It also shows that an aging and somewhat changed Nuggs team is looking very vincible
 
Thank you for your kindness.

I also thought t'wolves would be very good, But they benched DeVincenzo for first 25 games before discovering that he morphs as a starter into a complete player - then he got hurt. I expected Randle to have a slow start due to his coming off surgery. Anyway they been disappointing but playing better recently.Wont be an easy out come playoffs.

Orlando shocking step back with return of Wagner and Banchero... didn't see that coming. They will also be a tough out though once they find their rhythm.
 
All I can say is that Lakers Knicks tonight was one of the best games I’ve seen all year. LeBron was behind anything I’ve ever seen as he scores a triple double without AD. There is something about MSG that brings out the best in the Lakers. This game reminded me of the one when Kobe scored 81 with all the stars court side. LeBron was no exception tonight

I would have bet money on a Knicks victory but Brunson was off his game. Josh Harts three at the buzzer to end the half was epic . Lakers end Knicks 5 game winning streak Even Bronny got into the game and scored a lay up

Lakers are 4-1 without AD

FINAL Lakers 1

128-112

LeBron 33-11-12 for triple double

Lakers played the best Dee I’ve seen in them all year
 
Bye AD, welcome to LA Luka
Not so sure. Good to get rid of AD. They are 5-1 without him. However not so sure about how Luka will mesh with Lebron as Luka is a ball hog. Never passes. Always shoots. If they can coexist it will become Luka’s team when LeBron retires. Luka is also injury prone.

I just noticed the Lakers gave up Max Christie in the trade. This kid became a starter this year and he has speed, great accuracy from outside the arc and is destined to be another Laker castoff who'll achieve greatness.

The only redeeming feature is Luka is only 25 and hopefully along the way he will learn to play defense as that is a word not in his vocabulary

Incredible trade... I think Lakers becomes Luka's team from day one. Can Lebron handle being 2nd? Reeves is now expendable in move to get defensive minded big man (maybe one of the centers on Portland?). If they do that, they'll be immediate contender. Max Christe is a loss - played very well for Lakers. Dallas, though, can conceivably win now with AD...
 
I'm so very sorry to hear about Phil's and DLS's health issues.
I really wish all the very best to the both of you and hope you can recover.
 
Bye AD, welcome to LA Luka
That is quite a shocker that I did not expect AT ALL :eek:

Oh man, I grew so fond of the Mavs and Luka and Kyrie (I would have never guessed that could happen regarding Kyrie :oops:)

I will have to unlove Luka for joining LBJ :rolleyes:

I agree with everything except Reaves. The kid is just like Christie with a few more seasons under his belt. LeBron will never be second fiddle so it will be interesting chemistry. If they work together the team will excel and yes Luka is now the future look of the Lakers
 
Knicks lineup==Reed,Debusschere,Bradley,Frazier and Monroe
wow Lakers 73-50 at the half as Luka sits and watches. Lakers look like a well honed team tonight as they are hitting from everywhere
 
The WC welcomes Jimmy Butler. I think he will definitely be a help for the GSW

Reports: Forward Jimmy Butler heading to Warriors in multi-team deal with Heat​

Butler gets his wish to leave Miami as part of a huge deal that, among other trades, sends Andrew Wiggins to the Heat.
