New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

I think the back court of Lillard and McCollum is as good as Curry and Thompson
Blazers lead by 7 late in the 4th

How bout ex-Celtic Rozier with a 'filthy' dunk over....drum roll....Kevin Durant.

Sometimes, when I see the playing style of Lillard, I am reminded of the play of Westbrook. Both are super athletic and can be explosive and at the same time, super quiet at any time of the game.
I am really amazed at those deep 3s attempts by Lillard and McCollum. Talk about low percentage shots, these should be 4 points when made. The should just draw a straight line parallel to the mid court line, maybe midpoint from it and the top of the 3 point arc, and call it a 4 point line. Scrap the 3 line, it's outdated, 1979. And teams will be playing inside ball again, and , defense.

I examine the Blazers lineup and see that they are at least 2x stronger than the Celtics. Their top 2 guns are better than the C's top 2. Kanter was signed by the C's last 2 seasons and Brad virtually did not play him, but you can see his contributions in the game against the Lakers. Good backup to Nurkic who in one drive to the hoop, made AD look like a small forward. And they have this Trent Junior who was probably born to shoot from way out. C's despite all those picks and drafts, have not produced any semblance of a Trent Jr. at all. At each loss, the fans in the C's groups want Brad and Danny fired. But the problem is we might go back to the dark age of Rick Pitino.

Pitino is available - coaching the Greek national team now after Louisville fired him.
Portland vs Clippers tonight.
I bet Lillard will be motivated given that the Clippers dogged him in the bubble playoffs.
Let's see if the Clippers can get up off the floor after the thumping the Mavs gave them.

My mistake - Just saw Clippers have the Timberwolves tonight and then Portland tomorrow.

Clippers right the ship with a 124-101win over Twolves.
Tougher test tomorrow night when the Trailblazers play LAC at Staples.

Warriors on the winning track. Curry still is a wizard from the outside. Wiggins showed some life and number 2 pick Wiseman has good moves and can drive to the hoop. Surprised to see Blake Griffin make 3 point shots. Guess it's all about practice.
Blake was best known for his dunks but he developed his three point shot while with the Clippers.I suppose Blake Griffin is a very hard worker
Didn't know that. I know his foul shots and short shots were kinda like line drives without much arc so I never thought that would work with 3 balls but credit to him, he did it.
