New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

Doc probably catching hell from his daughter (Callie) for trading her husband, Seth. Guess Doc can blame Morey.

New York and Philly aren't too far apart, 90 miles or so.

I like Seth. I guess his father in law didn’t

I think there is now more of a chance Harden gets a ring with the Sixers than he does with the Nets. Harden to me is another Westbrook. Remember OKC were first to have a trio of stars

Sixers' lineup now is very solid. They got a very respectable record without Simmons and basically they just upgraded Seth for Harden, with a cast of Embiid, Tobias Harris, Thybulle, Maxey, Niang, Danny Green and sharpshooter Korkmatz. And nobody can stop Embiid. Their process seems to be finally finished.

I see that too in the 2 players. Though Harden was just a budding star when they lost to the Heat in the Finals. Imagine had KD not joined the Warriors, he would have 0 titles today.

And another thought that came to my head from a previous post about Big 3s is, what if the Lakers Big 3 now were in Miami being coached by Spoestra? With the Riley system. They have a very good system down there.

Luka Doncic goes off on the Clips for 51 points to lead the Mavs to a 112-105 victory in Dallas

 

[Steve Williams]

I saw that Mike. Doncic is a fabulous player

Bigger news was
1. Nets lose their 10 straight this time to Washington
2. Suns prove their worth by soundly defeating the Bucks which makes a rematch this year seem possible. Could it have a different outcome this year. To me the Suns this year are like the Jazz were last year. Suns however have to be considered in the final 4
3Warriors lose at home to the Knicks

I bet Harden is loving the trade. Sadly he has become nothing more than a journeyman player

 

[Steve Williams]

speaking of the Mavs, I just saw Porzingis was traded to Washington

Seems like his level is just about that. Likes to take 3s, for a 7 foot 3 inches guy.

Have to feel for Nets head coach Steve Nash.

How the heck is he going to manage two major head cases - Kyrie and Simmons. Then add in a prima donna like KD.

Wouldn't want to have to deal with that mess.

The Nets are done this year

Celtics vs Nuggets. I'm suprised they have virtually the same win loss records.

Both are quitters. Irving quit Boston in the midst of a playoff run for no reason at all other than being frustrated with young players who don't follow him. And of course Ben quit for the entire half of the season, for losing his confidence in a Sixers' arena. We're talking here of $30m + professional players here.

Huh?James Harden to the Sixers.

2 days ago. Trade deadline deal.

Celtics on a 7 game win streak. I wasn't counting. They beat a strong Nuggets last night. They found a new catalyst in ex Spur guard Derrick White. Nice upgrade over Josh Richardson. White is from the Pop school of good defense and offense pm this means Smart should be banned by his coach to shoot 3s.

 

[Steve Williams]

IMO there is no chance the Nets will recover . They are done for this year. What. bust

We came a long way in a short time. The unbeatable Nets trio is dead. Long live the Nets.

Will be interesting to see how it plays out. I'm surprised the Nets got two picks in the deal; Harden looks a step slow these days and the rule changes (less BS contact calls on 3s particularly) have hurt his 'game'. And if the Nets get their whole lineup back (and cities including NY continue to change Covid policies), Simmons doesn't have to shoot much.

Clippers got revenge against the Mavs last night with a 99-97 victory in Dallas.

Their "reward" - game tomorrow against Golden State in San Francisco. Tough assignment.

 

[jadis]

This will be surprising when it happens,

Daryl Morey planning for Mike D’Antoni to take over for Doc Rivers?

Rivers might have a more significant problem to manage than merely tuning out the naysayers questioning his presence on the Top 15 list. The conspiracy theory already making the rounds in league coaching circles holds that Sixers president of ...

Newly acquired Clipper Norman Powell now has a broken bone in his foot - out for and unknown period of time.
