New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

[Steve Williams]

Well at 110-77 I'd say this game is over ( 5:19 left)

Chick Hearn would call it for the Lakers, "This one is in the fridge"

Thank you for that, some great memories! Revived another memory when we as young lads we all got our Wilt Chamberlain wrist bands and played hoops in the drive way while the game was on the transistor radio. R.I.P. Chick

I just saw Shaq predict and guarantee a Celtics victory in game 5. Another jinx to be.. Well, Kyrie has to score 40 points or more. That is the fad nowadays for winning a game. And gotta limit George Hill to 5 points.

I thought last night's game between Denver and Portland would be another close one and a nail biter.Such was not the case as Denver destroyed the Blazers as did the Raptors subdue the Sixers

Jokic is a real beast

Jokic is a real beast

And the scary thing is he doesn't get tired easily.

After watching Houston beat up on GSW my thought is if the Warriors don’t win the championship or even worse don’t win the conference then I believe KD will walk and possibly Klay as well

 

[Steve Williams]

Further tonight's game is so pivotal that I feel whomever wins tonight's game will win the series and the Conference

 

[Steve Williams]

How about Klay and Kyrie to the Clipps

 

[Steve Williams]

well here is the big news

Lue probably knows what would be expected and he has already been through one episode of "coaching" the KING

Reports: Lakers, Lue end talks on deal
From NBA Twitter reports

IIRC didn't Lue take a leave of Absence from the Cavs because of the pressure

Steve, I just read that Vegas pegs the Nets as the most likely place for Kyrie to land. But D Russell is there already...

Yes he did briefly. Imo, I don't think he deserves to be fired. They didn't have THREE of the starters when Cavs were on top - Love, James and Irving. He only had JR and Tristan left.

 

[jadis]

I think the more pressing concern now for the Lakers is not finding a coach, but what players to surround James with. I may be wrong but with this motley crew, Lue or no Lue is not going to change much from last year.

 

[jadis]

Now this news surprised me....He wants 5 years, which is past LeBron's contract.

Lue and his representatives declined the Lakers offer of 3-years, $18 million. Lue was seeking five years. per source.

[Steve Williams]

He wants the longer contract so that when they fire him they have a larger contract to buy out

 

[Steve Williams]

Wow

With game almost over the Bucks are running away with the game 98-73 and will close out the Celts in 5. I expected that would be the case however not as easy as the Bucks displayed.

 

[Steve Williams]

where's Kyrie going to be next year?

 

[Steve Williams]

Sir Charles prediction might just be right as tonight the Bucks looked invincible

Will there be heat from Ainge on Brad as to the failure of expectations this year

 

[Steve Williams]

and how about side by side at courtside was Aaron Rogers and Danicka Patrick who are boyfriend-girlfriend

 

[jadis]

In a league where 3 ball shooters are essential, the Celtics proved to have none. Mirotic, Middleton, Giannis and even Lopez can drain 3s consistently. That is the sore point of the lineup.
