New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

[WLVCA]

Clippers and Suns played a great game last night. Clippers pulled it out 121 - 120 in OT. Blake Griffin hit a 3 pointer with time expiring to win the game.

Eric Bledsoe had a triple double for the Suns - too bad the Clippers couldn't keep Bledsoe. No cap room.

Watched Lakers vs Spurs last night which became a very good game

Started as12-2 for the Spurs only to find the Lakers jump out to a 10 point lead which they gave up at the end of regulation. Losing 110-109 Swaggy P makes a 3 pointer to win the game 112-110

It helped that Parker and Leonard didn't play

Clipps lose to Washington who like Atlanta seem to be for real this year

 

[WLVCA]

Nice win for the Lakers. Swaggy P for the victory! Hope Kobe wasn't mad he stole the hero role.

I didn't watch the Clippers game - good thing. My wife arranged another Christmas event - I've had enough Christmas already!

I agree that Washington is a good team this year. Bradley Beal, their SG, went for 29 last night and John Wall outplayed CP3 from what I read.

 

[Steve Williams]

I saw the last period of the Clipps game and they were clearly outplayed by the Wizz

Kobe didn't look too happy at all last night when Young was dropping all of those threes.

Sadly IMO the only thing Kobe has to chase now is Michael Jordan, Moses Malone and Kareem's scoring records

Do check out Mamba's assist numbers. He's dishin' a whole lot more. Reminds me of Wilt in his last years almost.

Maybe so Jack but he ain't chasing the assist record

Other things to consider is this is his 19th year and Jordan did his in 15. Granted his last two years were riddled with injuries.If he had been healthy and played those two years and finished out this contract I believe he could have challenged Kareem's record

More amazing for MJ is that he did it in an era where D was ROUGH.

WOuld like to see Kobe just retire and be done with Basketballplaying. THat would give my team a chance to rebuild. Although right now they are on a wining streak .... of .. 2 ... wins

GSW is at this point the best team in the NBA. Can they sustain it? Or will they be a different version of the Thunders of yore i-e great regular season but can't win an NBA championship?? BTW what is happening (so far) for the Thunders. They should be better. They are below .500 !!! Time for a coaching change. A different season for sure, teams with established superstars are not (yet?) tearing the league .. Rather emergence of new superstars (Davis, Curry, et al) is what we are witnessing

Very different league then. The series' with the Pistons and Knicks were wars of the type we don't see anymore.

Worth watching Portland/Bulls highlights from Fri night btw -- a taste of what we've been missing the last two years w/o D Rose. Aldridge had 21 in the first quarter of a great game.

Then the Knicks vs the Heat too. I recall Jeff Van Gundy becoming the first coach, if I'm not mistaken, to actually enter a brawl, got smacked by a Heat in the face, and then ended up grabbing the leg of Alonzo Mourning. That was a very physical series.

Now that's the Rose of old. Hope he stays healthy. Such a waste of good basketball to see him sidelined in the past year or so.

 

[JackD201]

Thanks Bob

I'm liking this new, less flashy Rose. 2pts is 2pts after all. This new more conservative attacks at the basket will hopefully give us more years of watching him.

 

[Steve Williams]

Lakers are on a roll-three game win streak and Kobe is now number 3 in scoring

 

[Steve Williams]

Gotta love GSW on a 16 game win streak with the ever best record in the NBA

Gotta feeling he may drop the conservative approach as the playoffs approach, but we'll see. But yeah, he's clearly playing with a different mindset now.

 

[Steve Williams]

Bulls lose to Atlanta last night

Big game tonight with GSW vs Grizz, the two top teams in the league

 

[WLVCA]

The Warriors - Memphis game should be a great one. I plan to watch it.

Too bad Bogut is out for Golden State - they will need size to combat Gasol and Zach Randolph.

I'll be rooting for the Warriors I guess. Hate them less than I hate the Grizzlies now that Mark Jackson is not coaching Golden State.
