New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

[WLVCA]

In the Bucks - Celtics series the momentum changes with every game. Bucks gained the upper hand tonight with their victory.

If the Celtics win game 4, momentum shifts again in their favor.

Makes for an emotional roller coaster.

At the half this is a wide open game and still up for grabs

58-49 Warriors

So far I have to say that the Clippers Warriors series was more exciting than the much awaited Rockets vs Warriors

Celtics should be happy getting a split. Bucks are heavily favored and top seed. They've got a kit of work to do. Game of adjustments.

It'll be interesting how the Celts do back in Boston

I think this is going to be a long series Phil

 

[Steve Williams]

in the playoffs to date the playmaker and the difference maker in the series and hence my vote so far for MVP is KD. Giannis is only just starting to look good and wake up and Harden for me even before the eye injury was missing too many shots

So far KD in the Clippers series and now the Rockets, has my vote for MVP

I think so too, Steve. Last year it went seven games and even with Kyrie now I feel it will be tough as the MVP candidate is playing the games of his life for the Bucks. It's hard to imagine Celtics in 7, so my hope is Celtics in 6. My friend in Costa Mesa has been texting me these two games now, analyzing the plays and how Boston won game 1 and lost game 2. All he has ever said was that I got him interested in the Celtics and he has been following them, and I can't say for sure that he has turned but I guess if the Celtics go deep he might be with me. Green for gold.

You never know Phil. The Celts are a very good team

 

[Steve Williams]

This is not good news . Thankfully he is fine and a full recovery expected

Another good Shawn Powell read

I like Draymond but I also agree with WLVCA that he can play dirty and that has always bothered me

Having said that his worth to the franchise is considerable

[WLVCA]

When Draymond plays the right way he is a very strong contributor to the Warriors.

76ers crushed Toronto this evening by 21 points.

Jimmy Butler stood out for his leadership. Embiid was a monster.

If Philly plays like this they are scary good.

My prediction 3 weeks ago was Milwaukee And Sixers in the Eastern Finals

Embiid is funny doing his Curry imitations

Embiid is funny doing his Curry imitations

It might be funny for some but it normally is NOT well received by the imitated one and his team mates and fans
Djokovic desperately wants to be loved like Roger is and makes fun of others and some don't find that funny at all. He is just not the genuine gentleman Roger is. Djokovic is just not genuine, full stop.
Sorry for my little detour to Tennis

Embiid can be a colorful guy, loves to taunt while trying to look like he's not taunting. As he is so big, that isn't possible. Pretty soon he might go overboard and it might even affect his game. I recall last year's trash talking with rookie Jayson Tatum in their series. Tatum didn't back down at all, from his taunting, and even taunted back at him.

Series evolves, offense leaves Raptors facing extinction vs. 76ers
Kawhi Leonard has dominated, but rest of the Raptors can't seem to keep up

A good read. It puts things in perspective

 

[Steve Williams]

Big question........

If Raptors are eliminated will Leonard look to play elsewhere next year

Big question........

My guess is Leonard will be gone, Steve.

And if the Raptors are eliminated, it's got to spell LOWRY. $29 MILLION a season, 38 minutes and 7 points on 2/10 shooting.Toronto has been eliminated for the past few years and now that de Rozan is gone, the non missing link should be Lowry. Oh well, Toronto had Vince Carter too, said to be on the losing side everywhere he goes.

 

[WLVCA]

Kawhi to the Clippers is a done deal.

 

[Steve Williams]

Kawhi to the Clippers is a done deal.

You may be right. I believe he’ll leave Toronto even if they win
