New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

[Steve Williams]

Lakers playing half decent tonight against Trae Young and the Hawks
at the half Lakers again have given up a 19 point lead but still lead 64-61

 

[Steve Williams]

At the start of 3rd the camera pans the crowd for celebrities. John Legend with his young son but after him, I almost fell off my seat as there was Rich Paul with Adele

 

[Steve Williams]

Malik Monk has proven himself as a starter. He is hitting threes from all over the court yet Atlanta just keeps coming. Middle of 3rd Lakers 73-69

I almost fell off my seat as there was Rich Paul with Adele

Well Steve, I've heard that news months ago and I should withhold my comments given my great 'non-love' for RP.

 

[Steve Williams]

Carmelo also is hitting a bunch of long 3’s. A healthier Lakers team for the first time this season played their strongest game. LeBron with 32 points , the Lakers are finally clicking on all cylinders
Trae Yoing sat the second half. Not sure why
Final Lakers 134-118

 

[Steve Williams]

Lakers on a 4 game win streak. What’s going right. I think a healthier team has helped immensely

 

[Steve Williams]

Bulls win again and Nets lose to Bucks leaving the Bulls 2.5 games up on both the Bucks and Nets. The Bucks are on a roll and Giannis continues to assert his authority once again on the Kia MVP ladder

Suns win and Warriors loss now gives the Suns the best record in basketball. Could this season be a repeat of last year. Giannis is looking better with each game
Utah surprisingly lost to Raptors last night but the Jazz are breathing hot air on the necks of the Suns and Warriors as they are closing the gap

I continue to wonder what is happening with the Blazers. My question is, who will go first? Will Chauncey be fired or will Lillard be traded first

Kevin Durant after loss to Milwaukee Bucks: Not going to force Kyrie Irving to get vaccinated​

KD after loss: Not going to force Irving to get vax

Kevin Durant said he hasn't had any extra conversations with Kyrie Irving about getting vaccinated after the Nets lost to the Bucks on Friday night.

IMO the Nets will not win he championship without Kyrie playing more than just away games The Bucks and Giannis lately are looking like they were in last years championship series. The big unknown for me is the Bulls high atop the EC with a put together team that is defying all odds. I don't think they can win it al but they are sure an exciting team to watch plus the Lakers were boneheads to let Alex Caruso get away by not matching the Bulls offer

 

[Steve Williams]

Nothing is a given any more in the NBA. On any given day it seems even the best teams can be upset easil

Yesterday the depleted Miami Heat destroyed the red hot Phoenix Suns

Utah gets mauled by the Pacers

Bucks lose to Charlotte

Bulls on a 9 game win streak hold a 2.5 game lead. I love it

 

[Steve Williams]

and after 941 days, today is the day. The adrenaline is going to be flowing today

[WLVCA]

Clippers played a dreaded matinee game (12:30 pm start) yesterday and lost to the Grizzlies...and Ja Morant didn't even play for Memphis.

No Kawhi, no PG13 = no wins for the Clippers.

 

[Steve Williams]

Lakers get Grizzlies today. I hope that the Clippers tired them
out and Morant doesn’t play. The Grizz killed the Lakers two weeks ago

 

[Gregadd]

Phoenix Suns roll on.

 

[WLVCA]

Clippers had another matinee game today with a 12:30 start. They actually beat the Hawks.

Clips have third schedule priority after the Kings and the Lakers at Staples (Crypto) since they were last to sign up to play there. That's why Ballmer is building his own arena. Players hate the matinee games.

I have to confess that when I had season tickets I actually liked the afternoon games on the weekend - a lot less traffric then and an easy ride downtown.

Klay is back.

 

[Steve Williams]

Lakers at home to Memphis but I’m watching Cavs vs GSW and the return of Klay

 

[Steve Williams]

I’ve been wondering where’s Rondo lately. I just noticed him in a Cavs uniform. He has become the ultimate journeyman

 

[Steve Williams]

Klay makes his second appearance of the game and looks as good as he ever was. Made an explosive dunk. Crowd came to their feet

Warriors 46-39 with 2:00 in half

 

[Steve Williams]

Klay just made his first three and gets a standing ovation

 

[Steve Williams]

End of half

Warriors 51-46

Klay gets his first foul and the crowd boos the refs

Bash brothers are back

crowd is electrified
