Very sad to see that Craig Sager from TNT passed away today.
Ironically, I was reading his new book, Living Out Loud, when I saw the news pop up on my laptop.
Sager was quite a character and lived life to the fullest. Had no idea just how adventurous this guy was until I read the book.

Interesting game between the Rockets and the Wolves. Rockets came back to win in OT for the 10th straight win. D'Antoni's system and Harden are a match to the T, offense-wise. Harden will learn not to stare at an opponents layup maybe in the second half of the season.
Towns had a great game. He's now a force in the NBA. Wolves are lucky to have him.

KAT is indeed impressive but I think he gets more attention than someone who deserves a lot more, The Brow.
Well Jack, I personally stopped paying attention to The Brow since he was deemed not possible to be traded to the C's.
I know. It's sad. Seems there are guys like PG13 and the Brow that are essentially marooned. KAT has Levine and Wiggins developing alongside him AND they've got Thibs to guide them. This team if not broken up, has a future ahead of them. At least you got Horford. Atlanta looks like they've officially blown up.
Surgery always sounds serious, from a fan's point of view, and Clippers lost to the Wizards today wherein Bradley Beal dropped 41 points. Wow. This guy is a superstar in waiting, if not already here.

King James strikes twice this week
First on the cover of Sports Illustrated in an all white tux and wearing more bling on his hands and in his lapel as the SI Athlete of the Year
and just now on NBC where he is previewing his new game show as the Executive Producer

IT Thomas drops 44 against the Grizzlies in a thrilling OT win. Career high for the pint sized Thomas who despite being 5'9" gets his points via super speed. I always think he's another Tiny Archibald but Tiny is 6'1", so I gotta admire what IT has been doing. At this point the C's really need a bonafide star or superstar to contend, and the name I keep hearing is, gasp, DeMarcus Cousins - who just bullied a reporter or sportscaster the other day.
I thought Al Horford was the new Celtics super star since you guys maxed him out.
Cousins certainly has his issues. Maybe Danny Ainge and Brad Stevens can straighten him out. May not be possible.
If Demarcus ever got his stuff together he would be incredible. Won't happen in Sacramento, too much water over the dam.
Would be worth a shot if the price was right and he is in the process of diminishing his value - purposely perhaps.

Honestly, I was cool to the additional of Horford, specially at $26m/year. Not to say I wasn't happy, but he couldn't be the impact player that would make the C's a title contender given that Ainge has so so many pieces of assets to trade on. Had KD moved to Beantown, that would have moved the C's back to the position they were in 2008 when KG came to town. Cousins could be yet another head case not worth the gamble. Look at Andrew Bynum, lots of promise at a young age, but really in the end proved he had a screw loose somewhere.
Andrew Bynum....yes, he was a massive head case. Wonder who Laker fans hate more, Bynum or Dwight Howard? I'd vote Howard.
Speaking of players of questionable value, George Karl just wrote a book and confirmed my opinion of Carmello.

Once again the Lakers take an early 19 point lead but lose to the Heat 115-107 Grr
lost 10 of their last 11
lost 10 of their last 11
Have faith - Luke will bring the Lakers around.
The Griffin-less Clippers beat the San Antonio Spurs tonight 106 - 101. Chris Paul tweaked his hamstring in the 3rd quarter and didn't return. Hope he is OK.
Wesley Johnson tried to give the game to the Spurs with two horrible inbound passes at the end that were stolen and turned into buckets. Really ugly.
In other Clipper news, Jamal Crawford is no longer shaving his head and now has hair,

As I felt before, Clippers usually fare well against the Spurs. And this time w/o Blake. Speights can be a very useful player for Doc. The guy seems to be a big microwave, loves to shoot in no time, maybe trying to be like their small microwave Jamaal Crawford.
i've got to see his hair in the highlights.Meanwhile, I just can't easily forget this greatest series I've seen in recent times.
