New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

[Steve Williams]

Early in the season I commented that IMO the Bucks are not the BEST team in the East

I agree with Sir Charles and not Shaq in this video. Giannis had 9 turn overs against the Lakers

End of 1st Lakers 29-17 over Bulls

Who is this Garrewtt Temple for the Bulls......playing with his 10th NBA team. Gives real meaning to "journeyman"

 

[Steve Williams]

THT continues to excel as he works his way into the lineup. He will be a superstar. Right now he needs to learn some defense

 

[Steve Williams]

Vogel has such bench depth now that on the road he is resting all of his players with fewer minutes played especially LeBron. Looks as if they willl go 9-0 on there road after tonight (Bulls on the back end of a back to back)

 

[Steve Williams]

AD gets 26 in the first half. Too many turnovers by the Bulls as well as offensive fouls

At the half, Lakers are coasting. 63-33

 

[Steve Williams]

Lakers never a team to preserve a big lead. They lose total focus and a 30 point lead dwindles to 17 at the end of 3rd

Lakers. 83-66

Lakers score only 20 in the 3rd

 

[Steve Williams]

sloppy game for both teams as Lakers coast to the finish line first

101-90 final

AD gets 37 points

Stephen Curry passes Reggie Miller for No. 2 all-time in 3-pointers made

With a catch-and-shoot corner 3 in third quarter Saturday night in Salt Lake City, Stephen Curry passed Hall of Famer Reggie Miller for second place on the NBA’s all-time 3-pointers made list.

Miller made 2,560 3-pointers over 1,389 regular season games during his 18-year NBA career; Curry passed him in his 715th career game, coming early in his 12th NBA season.



Steph now has 2562 in 715 games

Allen had 2973 made 3 pointers in 1300 games

So Steph needs 411 more 3 pointers over the next 6 seasons

Safe bet to say Steph will break Ray Allen's record easily and almost definitely will set a new record that will stand for quite a long time

I hate to see the Lakers lose and would have bet money last week after the first half that Lakers with that lead would defeat GSW. Well what a game that was with Steph winning it with his 3's . Warriors are a sentimental favorite team of mine when I lived in the SF Bay Area for 16 years so I didn't mind the loss

Clippers beat OKC in a Sunday matinee at Staples 108-100. Kawhi led the way with 34 points for LAC.

They now head out on the road for 6 games back East starting in Atlanta on Tuesday.

Looks like the Terminator is well oiled these days.

Lakers are on a 7 game road trip. They play 5 games in 8 days. Not good

Isn't that a pretty close result against a not sooo good opponent?

Kyrie Irving Finals prediction: ‘We will be on that stage'.

“Don’t trip. It’s a long journey. We will be on that stage. The stage where the best of the best meet. … You know. The main stage. Where those who can, do. And those who cannot talk about those that are doing,” Irving posted. “If you rolling with us, great. Let’s rock. If you’re not, you know you wanna talk about our greatness anyway.”


Kevin Durant chimed in, commenting on the post, “Speak on it KING!!”

Kyrie Irving Finals prediction: ‘We will be on that stage’

Back-to-back losses and a cratered-out defense hadn’t dimmed Kyrie Irving’s confidence, taking to social media saying he wasn’t worried and the fans shouldn’t be either. Irving penned an Instagram …

Oh my, KD
Stupidity seems to be contagious

Oh my, KD

Well, Kyrie called KD is best end game closer, and KD now calls Kyrie a King. Pretty soon, someone will be a GOAT too.

My son just alerted me to this game winning shot by Gordon Hayward. Is this what the Celtics parted with? Tough choice now if one were to choose Hayward or Tatum. Hayward has the maturity and patience. Tatum is still raw and thrill shooter.

Yes, it is.

I don't think any poems will be written to commemorate it.

well FWIW the team that beat the Nets twice was the Cavs and Lakers play them tonight. I'm looking forward to that game

Lakers are 9-0 on the road but have a habit of giving up big leads and letting opponents back into the game, some of which have beaten the Lakers such as GSW last week

AS for the Nets they have the fire power and the run and gun offense of D'Antoni whispering in Nash's ear. Unless the Nets learn to play Defense, they might make it to the finals but without defense they are going to have to score a lot of points to win the trophy

speaking of current Power Rankings have a look as they might surprise everyone....the Jazz are for real and both Lakers and Clipps need to be looking over their shoulders

NBA Power Rankings: Here come the Jazz; Cavs cut down the Nets (twice!)​

No team in the NBA this season has had a longer win streak than the Jazz. But they're not the only red-hot West team heading into Week 6.

Jazz number 3 over the 4th place Sixers

Nets number 7

I really feel this season will be filled with surprises....like Bucks rated at 5th
