New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

[Steve Williams]

I hope they keep Jones. He’s a good player and better than Gasol

as for Luka, he put on a clinic tonight

As for the Clipps, something ain’t right and it usually falls to the coach. I’ve never been convinced that Lue was the best coach. Ballmer has some decisions end of season if things don’t go well. Plus KL could easily move on

And how about this. Sixers lose and Nets win to be in a dead tie for first in the East

The only good news is I didn't watch the Clippers game.

I'm not ready to blame Lue...yet.

As for Kawhi....you only tolerate the weird guy if he wins

 

[Steve Williams]

But it’s KL and he is a winner. I’m not impugning him but I think he could move on as he’s not used to losing

 

[Steve Williams]

Melo Ball and the Hornets tonight at Staples. Should be a good fans to watch. The Hornets have become a break out team. I think they can beat the Lakers

 

[Steve Williams]

Lakers give up an 18 point lead to the Hornets

Game tied in the 3rd 64-64

Hornets are a good team. Very fast with the ball

 

[Steve Williams]

Things tighten in the west as both Utah and the Suns lose and Lakers rally to beat a very good Hornets team

Final Lakers 116-105

Lakers on a 4 game win streak and alone in 2nd one game behind the Jazz

LeBron gets 37 points

Celtics free-falling. 3 game losing streak. All lost at the close of the 4th quarter. Common plays when they needed a money shot - THREES. And all are contested. No passing to the inside. They have become the worst of the nightmares of teams relying on 3s to win. They cannot do it. Fans really want Ainge and Brad to go. Below .500 and number 9th spot, from an Eastern finalist. Big drop.

that's a bitter pill to swallow Phil

I am seeing that virtually all of the top teams are having lapses with long losing streaks

I still believe the Celts will be in th playoffs this year. It's just that there are so many surging new teams that are showing they can play with the best of teams on any night

Hang in there Phil. Frankly watching both conferences I am also not convinced that the Lakers will repeat this year. They are the oldest team in basketball and often are run into the ground by these young teams

 

[Steve Williams]

I also think we are going to see a new MVP this year as things have shifted between Embiid and Jokic with Jokic now in the number one spot at the top of the ladder

LeBron out in the first with a rolled right ankle. Looks serious

at the half 53-52 Lakers

 

[Steve Williams]

Things are going south real quick for the Lakers as they have yet to score with 6 minutes left in the 3rd

Hawks 64-53

 

[Steve Williams]

No Ad, No LBJ,.......no Lakers

End of 3rd, Lakers score 12 in the 3rd!!

Hawks lead by 12

 

[Steve Williams]

Galinari is killing the Lakers with his 3 point shots

Atlanta is a veery good team, new coach and are moving up in the standings. They have a lot of weapons

 

[Steve Williams]

Final ....Hawks 99-94 as Lakers make a bit of a run at the end

Back to back is a killer as tomorrow Lakers are in the Valley of the Suns without AD or LeBron

Hawks have an 8 game win streak and IMO are contenders be in the playoffs

 

[jadis]

No Ad, No LBJ,.......no Lakers

End of 3rd, Lakers score 12 in the 3rd!!

Hawks lead by 12

Tough times, Steve. Injuries suck, as I always say.

 

[Steve Williams]

As I said I feel your pain. This is a short and very strenuous season. Plus no crowds. I still believe the winner could easily be a long shot but the top 8 in each conference all match up well

 

[WLVCA]

Sorry to hear about LeBron's injury. Hope he makes a quick recovery.

 

[WLVCA]

Clippers beat the Hornets in Charlotte last night 125-98.

 

[Steve Williams]

Le Bron out indefinitely due to high ankle sprain, same as AD. Lakers are officially in free fall
