New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

And here we go, with the fouls complaints to the league office, if it is the 'proper channels'. Btw, that non-foul called presentation of Vogel immediately reaped rewards in the 28 combined free throws of LeBron and AD. They missed only 3. Must have done a lot of practicing after the 'presentation'. I am 99.9% sure if Lebron were not in the Lakers team, nothing would have happened. Again, this is about Lebron's antics and manipulations, not about the Lakers team.
If LeBron can do it, so can the Nuggets. This league has to FAIR. It cannot allow a Lebron led team to do extra-judicial antics to allow him to muster any tiny tidbit to eke out a victory. This is not the WWE, I have repeated many times. That league allows villains to rile up the crowd by making illegal antics and rules violations to whet the appetite of the fans to to make the hero come in with a dramatic win. Sad to say, it already happened in the 2016 Finals with the 'stimulus package' (as coined by Stephen A) to LeBron's team after being down 1-3 in suspending Draymond Green.
Denver Nuggets' Michael Malone: Will 'go through the proper channels' to ask about fouls

I thought LeBron got away with 4-5 offensive fouls that were pointed out by Reggie Miller but I also thought the fouls he took were all called by the refs
I thought the player one the Lakers that made the biggest difference was starting Dwight Howard. He was deadly under the offensive glass and made a big difference in the Lakers offense
Dwight Howard rebounds, fights for championship contention

My big hope is that AD's ankle won't keep him out of tomorrow's game

Stephen A: The Heat Are Legitimate Challengers to the Lakers

I totally agree with this analysis. Going up against the Heat (assuming Denver once again doesn't come back from a 3-1 deficit) will be no easy task. It seems all of Miami's players are peaking at the right moment and it seems Herro for the Heat is just like Jamal Murray and can score with ease from anywhere on the court and he's all of 20 years old

I have no doubt the Heat are championship material. I was telling my son that the mark of champions and would be champions is that they will come back in any quarter after trailing and eventually finish off with more points by the end of the game. That is called championship poise, in my books. Heat were not rattled when the Bucks would take the lead, they will eventually overcome it and win the game. Same as the first 2 games vs the C's, down most of the game but they stay poised and recover and make the final lunge. They do not make many turnovers. Jumping into trivia land - Miami has the 2nd most expensive salary in the NBA at $135m. While we know Butler will top that list followed by the Dragon and Iggy, the incredible stat is that Herro, being a rookie, nets $3.6m and Duncan Robinson gets $1.4m. These 2 were responsible in 2 of the 3 victories of Miami against the C's. Bam, surprisingly is paid lower than Herro at 3.4m, but doing the main damage inside. Curiously, one Solomon Hill is paid $13m and I have not even seen his shadow. Another is Haslem who has been with the Heat since the beginning of time, $2.5m for 'loyalty' or some future assistant position.
Yes, things are much easier to see in the Heat organization for me without LeBum.
I thought Sir Charles summed it up perfectly yesterday when he said the Lakers DON'T have a great team but rather 2 stars who generate the momentum for the rest of the team to feed off
The heat are young and fast and very good. Interesting if the trophy is won by the 5 team in the east or the 3 team in the west (never say never)

Heat clearly is the more deserving Finals representative of the East. Ainge has got to convert those draft picks into veteran role players.
I suggest Danny trade 5 first round picks to the Clippers for Paul George.
Almost forgot...straight up Doc Rivers for Brad Stevens.
Counter offer - Hayward for PG.I suggest Danny trade 5 first round picks to the Clippers for Paul George.
Doc has said that he will always be a Celtic. So Ainge can do the trade, then retire his number. He can't move up or else Ainge will have no job himself. The thing about Brad, he doesn't like to take chances. He sits his rookies, like this Carson Edwards can drill in lots of 3s in a few minutes. And I cannot understand why he lets Kanter play for 8 min, who went 4-4 and 8 points, never to return. Heat has found out the wing wing wing plays of the C's. Bam is their answer. Raptors had no Bam character so the C's were successful. And I have not seen Brad do any inspiring pep talk to the players like Mike Malone. He is a good coach but I don't know about his way of motivating. So, counter offer, Doc + 2 picks = Brad.Almost forgot...straight up Doc Rivers for Brad Stevens.
