Please don't turn into a LeBum fanboy on me, Steve

I knew you would say that. In fact it bothered me a bit to say it but it is a feat unto itself.

I think he does have a point.

Derrick Rose: If load management would have been around, I probably would have still been a Chicago Bull right now

I actually wanted to say something like that too but I couldn't piece the words together since I am a very biased anti 'LeBum fan'. And that's a nice reaction, Christoph.

Well, I'd like to dwell on how he got those 'stats', or stats padding, as some critics would say. I suddenly thought that he was the first practioner of Load Management. Too much 'load' in Cleveland, for 8 years. Screw the GM there, and screw the lottery concept because for 8 years he was always near the top, but always eliminated, so no lottery picks. Who's gonna take my load off in Cleveland, he should have been wondering. That ex-Harlem Globetrotter? Nah. Ahh, Dwayne Wade my good buddy, and with Chris Bosh too, and Riley was gonna give me the snipers that I needed to 'assist'. And then I can score without much pressure. Next, go back to my hometown be try to be THE hero of the city, ever. But I need Kevin Love, Kyrie was already there and he couldn't budge anyway. Thank Love for the block, and Kyrie for the winning 3. What a relief, load taken off my back but I lead the parade. Next stop, LAL. Ball and the young ones look good, but I have to take the whole damn load and look at my stats and my team record. Hard load. Ahhh, lunch with AD, call to Richie Paul, and boom, AD has come to me to lighten my load, again. Today, look at my stats, shooting up the roof.

I would have said now, end of story, but his story will not end. Load Control at its best, by the book, or with no book.

he's correct as well as several mVP awards

Celtics play good defense, that is for sure.

Early in the 2nd Celtics lead Clippers 28-25

I'm watching. Kawhi and George are both playing.

We're having a rain storm here in the desert and it keeps knocking out my Directv satellite dish signal.

I'm on a Facebook Celtics fan page where it is being streamed live. Bad shooting half for the Celtics. Good defense by both teams. Great game. I don't mind losing in games like these but since philly and Bucks won, we should keep pace too.

 

[steve williams]

Well at the half the Celts are up by two 42-40

this is showtime ladies and gentlemen as a win for the Celts in LA would be great

I'm hoping for a Celtics win in LA - but not until January 20th when they play the Lakers.

A Clipper needs to get on Kemba. He's heating up with the threes

 

[steve williams]

the Clipps play half asleep for all but the last half of the 4th. Then there was Lou Williams who made everything.

Celtics have a great team but the Clipps with their duo plus Williams they are hard to beat

Tatum ties it at 97 to force OT

 

[steve williams]

Well this OT proved how powerful this Clippers team is. Their bench goes deep.

Clipps 107 Celtics 104 Final

tough loss for Brad and the Celts

 

[WLVCA]

Clippers were fortunate to win this game. Celtics are a good team.

 

[christoph]

as I briefly mentioned yesterday. This is a monumental feat as no other player has achieved this

LeBron James becomes first player in NBA history with triple-doubles vs. 30 teams

From NBA Twitter and media reports

https://www.nba.com/article/2019/11/20/lebron-james-becomes-first-post-triple-double-vs-30-teams

Looks like the self declared King had them find (or even create? ) a statistic where he is first?
How does the real "King of triple-doubles" Russel Westbrooke look in this statistic?

Clippers were fortunate to win this game. Celtics are a good team.

This is what I call a good loss for the Celtics. Good because they ought to feel good at they way they played against a super charged team. That they almost won it before Lou Williams went berserk was a good sign too for this young team. And Kemba and Brown were having a bad night shooting, generally speaking. Great game and fair game. I hope we meet in the Finals.

Thanks for your kind words, Phil.
But I also have to admit that I'm probably as anti-LeBum as you
I only quoted a part of your posting but I really liked the whole posting

Good point.

Ever since he got that so called one hour special from ESPN, THE media is his to feast. And creating anything from nothing is his forte now. He looked lost last season with Ball (whom he had a covered Jersey chat just like AD), but decided to throw Ball away (no pun intended) and he could add AD (no pun intended either). That is a good stat in itself. They call it the plus minus, but for the Bum, it is called the minus plus.

Glad to know we are in a mutual club of 2, Christoph. There were at least 2 more but they have disappeared in this thread.

I have a long memory of the Bum since he was a conference rival from the start so pardon some of my repetitions of my statement of facts against him. Like traveling king, it does not just mean he travels a lot, but travelled to 4 teams now.

All good. Please bitch on
I'm not sooo long active in this thread and some Bum-bitching is always welcome from my side
