New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

Siakam doubful for game 4. If he does not play, big blow to the Raptors. Philly could be up 3-1. I just learned that if ever Toronto goes to the Finals, they will have home court advantage against either the Warriors of the Nuggets.

well so does Milwaukee however Warriors and Rockets know how to win when they are away from home

That is true, Steve.

Watching the past 2 series with Golden State and the majesty of Kevin Durant and with the knowledge that the Warriors have always been Steph's team and that he was the team hero and Durant a star in his own right, I have finally come to the strong impression that the Warriors now belong to KD and it his team now. One of the stories as to why KD is thinking of leaving the Warriors was not only about his dustup with Draymond but so also his feeling of lack of acceptance. Well IMO the tides have changed and the Warriors are clearly ruled by KD. Perhaps if they go deep in the finals or even win it all might serve to have him rethink his position.

Steph was nothing better than ordinary in yesterday's game as ail the Warriors had going for them was KD

Poor LeBron. He felt Magic betrayed him. Should we even care

Me thinks it will be over in 5 IF they win tomorrow.

This would be a fair assumption and why I think that hopefully you will see a different performance tomorrow night. Some personal redemption for the sake of the team is in order.

 

[Steve Williams]

I hope you’re right but no lead against the Rockets is sacred as they can hurt you really quickly

 

[Steve Williams]

I was thinking 6 and possibly 7

Although I’d be happy they end it in 5 the Rockets are too good IMO and Steph is off for whatever reason.

 

[Steve Williams]

Close gâme until the very end

Raptors prevail 1o6-94 tying the series at 2-2 and regaining home court advantage

IMO the key was containing Embiid to under 10 points

Leonard scores 40

 

[Steve Williams]

Harden, Durant both covet championship, mantle of best player
For Rockets to beat Warriors, Harden must win can-you-top-this battle with Durant

I've said before that this guy knows the NBA. This is a great read

We've been seeing some great basketball matchups this playoffs. Toronto tying the series just shows how unpredictable the playoffs are. And right now, Denver, the no. 2 seed in the West, is trying to stave off a 1-3 deficit after that epic 4 OT loss. The C's are staring at a possible 1-3 deficit as well tomorrow. I can see clearly compared to other top teams they lack a second 'robin' scorer who can and will score 30 points to support Kyrie. And Brown, Tatum, Morris or Hayward are not doing that. That said, they have to rely heavily on the defense to control the outputs of Giannis and Middleton. The 21 points of George Hill was a killer in the last game. The silver lining is if the C's get an early exit, Ainge can start dealing with the Pelicans.

Wanna bet Ainge has been talking already with the Pelicans

Phil

My hope is Ainge is successful in getting AD and then turns around and trades him to the Lakers for the throne less King



Just kidding. I’m sure that gave you pause

LOL, Yes Steve, I had to read that line twice.

Exciting game, Denver hanging on to tie the series, on the road.

Yes it was, enjoyed watching it but would have preferred Portland to win

Very impressed with Jokic. After playing 65 minutes the last game, he logs in 40 minutes and looked like he could do another 20. Triple double tonight. Did he play soccer in Europe or what...

 

[WLVCA]

I had not seen Jokic play much this season. He is a much better player than I realized. Shoots three pointers, can pass and handle the ball....and has a nice touch around the rim. Seems he can do it all.

For a while there I thought Captain America was in front of Kyrie Irving. And he was wearing a 'Havlicek 17' shirt. We really need some superhero acts tomorrow.
