New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

If Leonard goes to the Clippers and they get one more FA they will be a force to contend with.

I was just kidding about Kawhi....definitely possible but certainly not done. Time will tell.

************************

Funny how the perceived momentum swings in these series.

After game 1 it looked like Toronto couldn't lose.

Game 2 was tight but a 76ers win.

Game 3 was a 76ers blow out. People are saying the Raptors are down and out.

If Toronto wins game 4 then they regain the advantage.

Kawhi and Durant to the Clippers. Looks like it is going to happen.

I hope KD stays with the Warriors.
But joining Kawhi wouldn't be the worst option
Joining LeBum would be a desatrous nightmare for me and would cause me to un-love KD

At least 1 player will be happy.

Makes me want to throw up

I think the Celtics have a chance to even it tonight

They're even now at 1-1, Steve. C's have to hold serve at home to make this interesting as they are big underdogs.

 

[Steve Williams]

My mistake. I meant to say I believe they can win it tonight

 

[jadis]

Looks bad for the Celtics

 

[Steve Williams]

I agree Phil. They needed tonight to maintain home court

Watching Giannis he put on an MVP show.

Sorry Phil as good as the Celtics are I don’t see them taking this series

 

[jadis]

Yes Steve. Am thinking now of AD.

 

[jadis]

Epic win by Portland in FOUR OTs. Wow. Jokic played 60+ minutes and missed a foul shot to tie the game. The Blazers are something else, now up 2-1 without home court advantage.

 

[Steve Williams]

Fabulous game. Two well matched teams

Monte got lucky and wasn't hired as coach of the Lakers. Poor Ty Lue who once again becomes a patsy for James

I am a Lakers fan since the 60's and have not watched a single minute of play since LBJ joined the team. I know many see it differently but to me he is a disservice to the NBA.

 

[Steve Williams]

IMO James is the worst thing that ever happened to the Lakers. Lue will be nothing more than a yes man for James

How long will it take until someone realizes the cancer must be removed? If attendance is up and they are selling jerseys then I suspect it will take awhile, but the play will suffer.

 

[WLVCA]

Ironically Lue was a Doc Rivers protege in the not too distant past.

 

[Steve Williams]

Looking back at the Lakers past 4 coaches
Mike Brown-loser
Mike D’Antoni - bigger loser
Byron Scott- was great with the Lakers in Showtine era but never impressed me as a coach
Luke Walton- the only coach I liked and let’s. not forget he coached the longest win streak with the Warriors when Kerr was out. His tragic flaw was that Magic had the ‘wisdom’ to sign James to a $154 M contract and even before the ink was dry in the contract Vegas oddsmakers were calling Luke to be the first coaching casualty of the season. Fortunately he made it through the year.
