New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

[jadis]

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

I wouldn't worry bout the Cavs, Steve. While they had beaten the Nets twice, the Celts beat them big time the other night, without Tatum. Kevin Love is nowhere to be found again. Such a bad contract. He was one of my favorite power forward in this early years in Minnesota.

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

Hard to get the real pulse of the standings due to the players missing games due to the protocols. Hope every team gets to play at full force. Somehow the NFL has done well, they're about the end the season.

65-58 Lakers lead at the half

I'm looking for the Cavs' color commentator but I get a Lakers broadcast. I believe he's an ex Cav named Austin Carr. Very entertaining guy.

Lakers continue to give up the ball as well as another 14 point lead.

End of 3rd 89-87 Cavs lead

 

[Steve Williams]

Lakers look totally flat and are being outplayed by the Cavs .........

 

[Steve Williams]

Lakers lucky to get out of Cleveland with a W to go 14-4 as LeBron hits for 46 points

Final 115-108

Cleveland like NY might be better than we are used to...by a lot it seems. Aaah low expectations aren't always a bad thing LOL

Cleveland has 3, THREE big giants in their team, when this is now a small ball league. AfroAllen, McGee and Andre the Giant. The latter two went cocky and wanted to play point center leading a break, both lost the ball. Ok, Danny, call them and use your $28m trade exception.

Where is Kevin Love??

Just saw that Kawhi and Paul George are in Covid Protocol so Clippers start the road trip very short handed.

Both players could be out for a week.

I heard that last night during the Lakers game. I looked everywhere to verify it but couldn’t so I guess you found the report true. This is how through no faults of their own, players and teams can be hurt in the standings. If it’s made it to the Cliopers it will find its way to the Lakers. Sorry to hear that Mike.

Where is Kevin Love??

Yet another injury, Steve. Calf strain.
Signed thru 2023 for around $30m per year.

Forgot that Rondo signed with the Hawks. He's on the court tonight vs Clippers

Clippers playing a Box and One defense to try to slow Trae Young down. Haven't seen that in the NBA in a while

Time for Morris , Jackson, and Lou to shine in the absence of the 2 stars. It's their chance.

And they are leading the Hawks at the half.

He's got more money, but lesser fame.

Wonder if Lou Williams went to Magic City strip club for wings at half time.

Wonder if Lou Williams went to Magic City strip club for wings at half time.

He was 0-6 then now 4-14. Yeah, sweet Lou and spicy wings.
