New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

[JackD201]

This is something I've always wondered. How much does a team make by just entering a round in the playoffs? That is a minimum of 4 nationally televised games, at least 1 home game likely to a sold out arena.

So far all my predictions are on track except Miami which I said would likely not get past the 1st round. Looks like they can get to the 2nd. I still think the the Pacers will get bounced in the 1st.

On a patriotic note, I'm really happy for Spo and oh boy, happy for Jordan Clarkson and what he is doing to help the Jazz.

Jordan Clarkson.....another traded Laker

Lakers get clobbered in Philly even though The King scores enough to pass Kobe as number 3 scorer in NBA history.

Lakers continue to have so many turnovers that they couldn't recover from down 23 even though they came to within 3. Then it was all Al Horford who sealed the win

Lakers go 3-2 on their road trip

Sixers looked terrific making so many 3's.

Ben Simmons is a super star. I didn't realize how tall he is

Sixers and Bucks have best home record at 21-2

Final 108-91

A couple of games ago, I couldn't believe the headlines saying Simmons scored 32 points in a game. And last night he hit 28 against the Lakers with a lot of those drive in layups. He's listed at 6'10" and is easily a matchup problem with any team. Once he gets the green light to drive, Sixers will be tough to beat. And they will be missing Embiid for a lot more weeks so time for Simmons to take over the leadership. So he doesn't really need a jumpshot.

I think the hottest team to watch (other than the Bucks) right now is the Utah Jazz as they are beating everyone and 3.5 games out of first after a Lakers loss and a Utah win

If Simmons could learn to hit a 3 point shot he would be in the running for best player in the game. If Lonzo Ball can learn to hit 3's, why not Simmons?

Clippers play in Orlando today before heading back to LA.

I was stunned by how good Simmons is plus he made some 3's

Are you perhaps thinking of another player? Simmons didn't attempt a 3 point shot in the game.

 

[Steve Williams]

Yes I’m thinking of him. I thought he made a few. I was wrong. He was so dominant in going to the basket that no one could stop him. Lakers missed Javale under the net yesterday

 

[Steve Williams]

I think the Lakers are starting to lose their momentum and should be looking over their shoulders.

 

[WLVCA]

LeBron's buddy, J.R. Smith, is going to work out for the Lakers.

Very sorry to read about this tragedy. The site is only a few miutes from where we used to live.

 

[Steve Williams]

I’ve searched the net and all sports outlets and nothing is being mentioned anywhere.

 

[Steve Williams]

its now being reported by news services and is all over Twitter

5 people on board, all dead. He was not with his wife and kidsI

 

[Steve Williams]

and to think we all read his tweet to LeBron last night as LeBron surpassed Kobe as number 3.

Life can be chilling in moments such as this


I am simply stunned and speechless.
