New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

[WLVCA]

Luke Kennard got a fist bump from Steve Ballmer tonight as he had his best game so far for the Clippers with 20 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. Been waiting for him to come alive so perhaps this is a good sign.

No Covid related players out for the Pacers tonight to my knowledge. All injuries of various sorts and LaVerts kidney issue.

Thanks for that as I assumed the usual.

 

[Steve Williams]

Looking at the most recent games as well as the standings. IMO the Jazz could well be the sleeper team in the west. They and perhaps the Trail Blazers have some of the best scorers in the league

Awakened today to see the Bucks back in their familiar number 1 position

 

[Steve Williams]

Finally get to see Steph and the Warriors play the Lakers tonight at Staples. I never underestimate the Warriors

 

[JackD201]

Kerr says one of this season's goals is to have Draymond, Wiggins and Oubre make the All Defensive Team. Lets see how well they do against the Champ's freaks of nature.

In the absence of 'collective coach' Kyrie, DeAndre Jordan was mic'd up and did some collective coaching on the sideline, well, more of player development coaching on a specific player? Nets leading a bit over Bucks, good game.

Harden is playing damn good and knows what to do

59-56 start of 3rd. Nets lead

His shooting load is lessened too. And he can pass well.

 

[Steve Williams]

I'm. seeing better chemistry between KD and Harden rather than KD and Kyrie.

Nets lead Bucks 87-78
with 4:30 left in third

Plus they played together for many years. Can you imaginer the dynasty that could have been the Thunder if only management ponied up.

I see that too, Steve. The worst chemistry was Harden and Westbrook.

Follow your coach.

Harden says Mike D'Antoni was part of reason he wanted to come to Nets

Mike D'Antoni's move to Brooklyn was one of the reasons Harden felt comfortable there.

Harden looks like he has lost some weight and Giannis seems to have really buffed up

 

[jadis]

Not surprisingly, Nets are now number 2 it total salaries, with their big 3 signed through 2023. If the last piece finally jells with the big 2, imo, this will be the most potent big 3 ever assembled.

That's what my son told me a few days ago, and showed me a photo.

 

[Steve Williams]

Great game

Went to the last shot but Nets 125-123 over Bucks

Harden with 34

 

[Steve Williams]

Harden looks like he's in terrific shape

I'm happy for the guy as Westbrook wasn't the answer and he quickly bailed

I thought neither can win a ring but now Harden has made the East an interesting Conference and he could prove me wrong

Yes, terrific game by both sides. Again, getting more common in this era, shooting a 3 ball with 3 seconds to go when you're only down by 2. Chris Webber was saying that Giannis was at half court during the last play and what was he doing that far out, he should be nearer. Oh well, era basketball.

Specially when KD seems to 'like' him. And how bout that late hard to execute lay up by Harden, only he can make that look easy. Reports have it that Kyrie might play this weekend against the Cavs. That would be a game to watch, how these 3 will play together.

 

[Steve Williams]

At Staples the Lakerslook unstoppable. Their off season acquisitions takes their bench much deeper.This has shortened LeBron's minutes played..."load management on the go"

I would have thought Warriors would match up well against the Lakers
