New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

[Steve Williams]

Melo is keeping the Blazers in the game. His accuracy tonight is from everywhere on the court

Lakers up 47-45 with 7 minutes left in the second

I have to give Melo credit. He looks fit, has shed some weight and can still shoot

 

[Steve Williams]

McCollum has to put up 60 points for the Blazers to win,

The way he's shooting tonight, he 'could' score 60

 

[Steve Williams]

Lakers are now getting outplayed as they go cold and missing a ton of shots'
59-55 Blazers with 3:30 left in 2nd

68 tie at end of half. Melo was playing like he was 10 years younger and has 18 l

He better play like that as this may be his last game.

 

[Steve Williams]

Lakers going for the kill and have their biggest lead (11) early in 3rd

Portland tried to make a game of it and got closer but Lakers pulling away again.

I like to read this kind of optimism, but this guy apparently is a Celtics fan. I hope he does not become another Barkley with wrong predictions.

Mr. DJ Bean (the author) seems to be very confident in his prediction!

Lakers up 100-92 end of 3

Lakers up 100-92 end of 3

It is still 3rd quarter in the game on TNT - are you watching the Laker SoCal brosdcast?

Never mind - I paused the game earlier.

 

[Steve Williams]

8-0 run by the Blazers to start the 4th ties the game at 100

Lakers just seem to be missing a lot of shots. Kuzma has done nothing

I am watching the Lakers broadcast

 

[Steve Williams]

CJ has played the entire 411 minutes so far and continues to score big

Tie game 109 !!! with 6:43 left in 4th

Lakers lost the killer instinct

 

[Steve Williams]

Lakers finally pull away and close out the Blazers 131-122

AD had 43 and LeBron had 36

 

[WLVCA]

Congrats, Lakers move on!

 

[Steve Williams]

and for the biggest statistic....this is the first playoff series Lakers have won in 8 years. All they need are 12 more wins before the other guys

it was sad to read about the death of former Blazers Cliff Robinson and I was shocked to hear of the death of Chadwick Boseman at the start of last night's game

NBA Playoffs 2020: Experts' picks for Bucks-Heat and Raptors-Celtics in the East semis
I found this to be interesting as the experts are split in both series and very closely split in the Heat Bucks series

I was quite surprised to read about Boseman's passing as well. Apparently he had been ill for some time. He made some great movies and I loved Black Panther. My daughter met him when he was in Philadelphia making 21 Bridges.

I like Zach Lowe and he picked the Celtics and I should believe him.

I feel that the Celtics can win this series over the Raptors but I can't see them beating the Bucks. So I would have to root for the Heat to beat the Bucks just in case the Celtics advance.
