The NBA

Its now 14-0 for the Cavaliers after defeating the crummy Bulls 144 - 126.  😊

In a surprise to nobody, those Warriors beat up the Grizzlies 123 - 118. Zzzzz..... Those Warriors are now 10-2. Ewwww..... 🤮

Also a surprise to nobody, Draymond got ejected again for getting 2 technical fouls at the end. Oh well, its just Draymond being Draymond. Zach Edey wishes that he has a classy gentleman like Draymond in his corner.

I think the Warriors will eventually settle down to average.  They have no big guys on their team.  Fingers crossed.

I don't like Draymond because of all his antics, but I listened to his podcast the other day, to hear what he had to say abt the Cavs game.  He was very articulate and understandable.  He was also extremely complimentary to the style the Cavs play and commented how they were thoroughly surprised at how fast the Cavs play.  

Color me surprised at his comments.

Dray is looking to get on TV as an analyst after he retires, so one sees a totally different guy in his interviews, etc.

To elaborate: I'm not sure I'm too thrilled about Inside the NBA as an ESPN product.  Nothing against Stephen A (and Perk & whomever), but the current ESPN folks being full time members would be, IMO, more common than green grass, red blood, yellow corn, and blue skies

Some people have tried to push him as Barkley 2.0.  Barkley had his issues as a player: there was one incident where he tried to spit at a heckler but got a little girl instead.  Draymond's rep seems more in line with Bill Laimbeer, a man so hated that Robert Parish was allowed to hit him in the head with his forearm without being called for a foul.

Please don't rain on my parade, remember we have the Browns, too.  😢

I'm good either way.  The Celtics lost to the Warriors, and the Cavs demolished the Warriors (up by 41 at Halftime last week's game).

Sure it'd be nice to win one more against the Champs, but 15-0 is nothing to sneeze at.  Tied for 2nd best all time.

Hope it's not the same sculptor/artist that designed the Dwayne Wade one.  😬

It was a very good night for me. Not only did the Cowboys got their asses kicked. But even better, those Warriors just lost to those bum ass Clippers. 😂 😂

WILD ENDING to Warriors vs Clippers FINAL 35 seconds

Happy 20th Malice at the Palace Day to those who celebrate.

It was all Ben Wallace’s fault, really.

I thought of honoring that day on Friday.  While not the anniversary date, I was out & about on that Friday in 2004 on a day we call "Light Up Night" in my area.  So if all goes well, I'll hit up the place I was at that evening

The streak is over, but they made it close.  Proving they could tangle w/the Champs.

It had to end eventually and better to do so in this fashion than a lowly team like  the Pelicans.

Only four teams in the history of the NBA have started w/15 or more wins.  That’s a great accomplishment. 👏🏻👏🏻

Sadly, it ended last night. The Cavaliers didn't lay down & play dead after being down around 20 points in the 3rd Quarter. Hopefully, this 15-0 start doesn't turn out to be a dud after this first loss of the season.  So, this first loss wasn't worth losing sleep over.

Dalton Knecht is working out very well for the Lakers so far. He scored 37 with 9 3-pointers (tied an NBA rookie record) in helping the Lakers get a very easy win on the Jazz 124-118. He will be a major help for LeBron & the Lakers. 

As for Bronny, he's currently in the G League learning his way in that league. Last night, he scored 4 points on 2-10 shooting with 2 assists & his team (South Bay Lakers) lost. Bronny may be finding his way in the G League & hopefully he will come back sometime during the season to help out the Lakers. But, he's currently having a better rookie season than Alex Sarr is having suffering with the Washington Wizards.

Something going on with Jamal Murray. He looks ... rough.
