James Harden may be making his trade wishes more difficult with his recent behavior.

Watching Miami vs Pels.
109-95 with a minute left.
Brandin Ingram has not only improved his hand but he has finally bulked up a bit. I was sorry to see the Lakers trade him. Most improved player last year

Have to love Jalen Rose of ESPN.
He hit the nail on the head in his opening comments prior to the LBL/Mavs game - gives Rich Paul (LeBron's childhood friend) of Klutch Sports credit for building the Lakers team. Five of the players on the Lakers roster are Klutch Sports clients.
I think Phil may have a point. Perhaps the league office should step in to prevent this conspiracy and collusion that has reached a massive scale!

Denver , Dallas and Warriors are 0-2, not that it means anything but this 3 teams will be hanging around at the end of the season
One thing for sure is that the Nets are for real and this is not good for the Bucks, Celtics and Sixers

LA Clippers star Kawhi Leonard was forced to leave Friday night’s game against the Denver Nuggets after taking an inadvertent elbow to the face and did not return.
Leonard sustained the injury late with 6:11 left in the fourth quarter when teammate Serge Ibaka went for a rebound and collided with Leonard.
Bleeding from his mouth, Leonard remained on the court for several minutes before leaving on his own.
“He got up and walked off the floor, so he’s going to be good,” LA coach Tyronn Lue said after the game.
According to Andrew Greif of The L.A. Times, Leonard has a laceration in his mouth that required eight stitches.
Leonard had 21 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds and 4 steals before the injury. The Clippers won 121-108.

Looks like Kawhi is going to be OK but he'll be drinking shakes for a week or so.
Good start to the season for the Clippers as they beat both Western Conference finalists in their first two games.
Porzingas-less Mavericks up next for the Clippers at Staples on Sunday. Hopefully Dallas has been hitting the night clubs in LA since their loss to the Lakers yesterday.

Arguably the greatest shooter of all-time, Curry's latest exhibition caught social media fire.

I'm not sure if you guys caught this. I remember K C Jones playing as I was a kid growing up. He will be missed. A definite class act in the game during a bygone era
The Celtics said Jones’ family confirmed Friday that he died at an assistant living facility in Connecticut, where he had been receiving care for Alzheimer’s disease for the past several years
Jones joined with Bill Russell to lead San Francisco to back-to-back NCAA championships in 1955-56. The two also played on the U.S. team that won the Olympic gold medal at the 1956 Games in Melbourne.
A second-round draft choice by the Celtics, Jones reunited with Russell to win eight straight NBA titles from 1959-66. He retired in 1967 and began coaching, first in college at Brandeis and Harvard before joining the Los Angeles Lakers as an assistant, in 1971-72, where he earned another championship ring.
“K.C.’s coaching career was similarly illustrious. He was named to lead the Celtics in 1983, beginning what is one of the most remarkable head coaching runs the NBA has seen. K.C. helmed the Celtics for two of the most memorable seasons in the team’s rich history, first leading the team to a championship in 1984 over the Lakers during a peak of that storied rivalry. Two seasons later, he led what many consider the greatest team in NBA history, the 1986 Champion Boston Celtics. These were the highlights of an astonishing four consecutive seasons in the NBA Finals, one of the most impressive and beloved Celtics eras.
“K.C. also demonstrated that one could be both a fierce competitor and a gentleman in every sense of the word. He made his teammates better, and he got the most out of the players he coached. Never one to seek credit, his glory was found in the most fundamental of basketball ideals – being part of a winning team. The Celtics family mourns his loss, as we celebrate his remarkable career and life.”
Celtics legend K.C. Jones dies at 88
Jones won multiple championships with Boston as a player and coach.
BOSTON (AP) — Basketball Hall of Famer K.C. Jones, an Olympic gold medalist and two-time NCAA champion who won eight straight NBA titles during the Celtics’ Bill Russell era and then coached the Boston teams with Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish to two more championships in the 1980s, has died.
