Well blazers are gutted. Wonder if Lillard stays. Fuck it. The young guys are fun to watch for now.

Harden to the 76ers couldn't have happened to a better person

I can because of the Morey connection, Morey wanted Harden since they both exited Houston.

As far as James Harden is concerned I have mixed feelings. On one hand I see him as the quitter who seemed to purposely get fat to break a deal with houston, and now wanted another new home, but then on the other hand kd and Kyrie were the ones who persuaded him to go to Brooklyn and now although Kyrie is perfectly healthy he won't even play a home game and kd is injured more than he isn't.


Both teams got a great deaI, I think Harden will return to all time great mvp caliber form like he was as recent as last season and Nets have a guy who puts up
Scottie Pippen type numbers.


Scottie 16 ppg 47% FG 6 rebounds 5 assists 32% from 3
Ben Simmons 14 ppg 55% FG 8 rebounds 8 assists 14 % from the 3
Both play great defense

On another note how about those raptors 8-straight.

:rockon: The team is not doing too badly so far. I was thinking the other day maybe we get to the playoffs, at least the first round, but now with the latest big trades in the east, I don't know. Nothing exciting in trade news for us, just got Thaddeus Young from the Spurs.

A new series on HBO about the Lakers.

It’s All Show Business in New Trailer for HBO’s Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty: Watch
Adam McKay's episodic series about the LA Lakers stars John C. Reilly, Jason Segel, Jason Clarke, Adrien Brody, and Quincy Isaiah


HBO has shared a new full-length trailer for Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty, Adam McKay’s forthcoming 10-episode series about the 1980s Los Angeles Lakers. It’s set to premiere on Sunday, March 6th on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max.

The star-studded cast is led by John C. Reilly as Lakers owner Jerry Buss, Jason Clarke as Lakers general manager Jerry West, Sally Field as Jessie Buss, Hadley Robinson as Jeanie Buss, Adrien Brody as Lakers coach Pat Riley, Jason Segal as Lakers coach Paul Westhead, and Quincy Isaiah as Magic Johnson.

Rounding out the cast are Dr. Solomon Hughes as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, DeVaughn Nixon as Norm Nixon, Gabby Hoffman as Claire Rothman, Tamera Tomakili as Earlitha “Cookie” Kelly, and Rob Morgan as Ervin Johnson Sr.

Based on Jeff Pearlman’s book Showtime: Magic, Kareem, Riley, and the Los Angeles Lakers Dynasty of the 1980s, Winning Time is described as a “fast-break series chronicling the professional and personal lives of the 1980s Los Angeles Lakers, one of sports’ most revered and dominant dynasties — a team that defined an era, both on and off the court.”

I think this has a major impact on garden's whole game. Lillard too. These shouldn't be fouls, glad they call them less.

I'm going to watch it tonight, too tired last night.

Speaking of winning...glad to see your Cs are playing better lately. Yesterday's Nets loss was very satisfying for me. I guess I'm a little annoyed about the Dragic situation. I know he didn't want to play in TO in the first place, but I felt that he didn't really give it a try either. He played 5 games then had to leave for "personal reasons" back to Slovenia. Not long after that, pics of him working out in Miami. Oh well, whatever... :mad: :lol: :oldtimer:

Looking forward to the Bulls vs 76ers game tonight.

Thanks. It's been satisfying to see. We made a reliable habit of dramatic collapses to lose games earlier in the season. A couple of tweaks to obtain some grit through trades and Williams D coupled with getting healthy and we're back. East is tight. Dragic is late stage with a little juice left, but you'd think anyone in his situation would embrace Toronto. But the tendency to piggyback to a ring is too much I suppose.

Caught a bit of the post-game last night with Frank Vogel...poor guy is defeated. I switched it off because I felt sorry for him.

Good win for my guys though. :rockon:

I don't feel sorry for anyone on the fakes. Especially Westbrook and Pelinka. This experiment is comical. LeBron is in a whole other category of dysfunction, but how Rob has been completely insolated by Jeanie is beyond me.

Williams is a beast. C's are fun to watch and root for these days. Kinda bummed that we didn't pluck Rozier from the guard heavy Hornets at the deadline.

It is what it is, sold their souls for #17 so I get it. Pelinka's issue is most of the other GMs have come out and said he is an asshole as an agent and he is an asshole as a GM. Second round draft picks is why a trade with the Knicks fell thru. A trade that would have helped them. Oh well. Least the Dodgers and Rams and Lakers have all won in the last couple years.

Exciting game tonight, kv! Westbrook was missing all night and then got lucky at the right time. :lol:

We've got 9 games left. 1/3 against Miami, Chicago, and the Bucks. Chitown and the Bucks are away. I'm optimistic. Great west coast swing and this d is otherworldly. Williams 3 and Smart deserve more attention for DPOY. :rockon:
