I must admit that Lakers are playing great in the 2nd of 2 nights in Utah and leading 65-47 at the half
The Lakers have won all back to backs this season (this will be the 4th)

Lakers win again and the first time in Utah for almost 2 years
Lakers are 10-0 on the road
im trying to enjoy it while it lasts as the Clipps are gathering momentum
im shocked the lakers in back to back games beat both Denver and Utah on the road
Howard played great and made some big shots including the seventh trey of his career

I don't understand the hatred towards Melo
Sure he is beyond his prime and overrated but I think of him as a amicable guy, quite unlike the self declared King
Goes back to the 2006 playoffs when Denver faced the Clippers in the first round.
.
Carmelo openly and quite visibly quit on his team when the Clips clinched the series.
He was the kind of player who was very happy to shoot the ball but often displyaed a lack of interest on the defensive side.

I would agree with you. Compared to the self declared GOAT, Melo is a LAMB, maybe a lazy, soft lamb, but I find nothing really to dislike about him as there are a lot of players worse than him and are even 'head cases'. I admit I had high admiration of Melo seeing him in the 2007 Western Playoffs against the Lakers as I was watching in NJ then on TV. Strong, tough guy, no nonsense. Whatever happened to him to spiral his career to almost oblivion is beyond me. But at least he doesn't do 'illegal' acts like those of the fake GOAT.
This reminds me of someone else: the self declared King
Oh wait, he started playing defense some days ago before his 35th birthday

Wonderful pun btw.
Christoph, this is another one for you.
It may be redundant to call him the traveling king, the king troubadour, or the king globetrotter. Take you pick they are all good.

I saw that travel last night.Refs must have been blind
AS we are now on into the season, the first big game of the superstars is tomorrow night in Milwaukee when the Clipps visit.
That is going to be the best game to date this year short of the first game when the Clipps were at home to the Lakers
Gianis seems unstoppable with their 13 game win streak

What a difference a year can make.
NBA teams 'terrified' of Warriors' 2020 draft pick, Tom Haberstroh says

"The people I talk to around the league are really worried they are going to trade that first-round pick, the 2020 pick, because if they load up with an All-Star-type player with that pick, they are terrified," Haberstroh said during the Warriors-Hornets telecast on NBC Sports Bay Area on Wednesday. "Or if they land a Luka Doncic in the draft, they're terrified. So that 2020 pick, adding to the group they have established here with [Eric] Paschall stepping in right away, man, I think every team is going to try to do a gap year."
The Warriors are expected to have a healthy Steph Curry and Klay Thompson back next season to go along with Draymond Green, D'Angelo Russell and Kevon Looney. Paschall has burst on to the scene and looks like he could be an impact player on a title-contending team.
The Warriors also will have a taxpayer exception worth around $17 million and a taxpayer mid-level exception that they can use to sign established NBA players.

I'm betting David Fizdale will be the first coaching casualty after that 37 point loss to Denver

I guess if he sets his mind to play like what he used to play in his early days, he can survive.
