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. 

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.

Celtics up next in Boston. Good luck with that. 

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.

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.

The Lakers got their asses kicked tonight in the 2nd half (especially in the 3rd Quarter) in a 127-100 beatdown the Suns gave them.

Man, they're really trying to make me give a damn about the NBA Not Worth A Damn Cup tonight. Sadly for TNT & (especially) ESPN, I still don't give a damn & it still not worth a damn to give. Once NBC & Amazon gets involved in this garbage next season, I'm really not going to give a damn about this farce.

NBA says Hawks violated player participation policy by sitting Trae Young for Cup game

Just go ahead and admit it that you're pissed that a superstar player chose not to play in your pet project that you are determined to make it a success, Adam Silver.

If Alex Sarr thinks his rookie season for the Washington Wizards couldn't get any worse than it already has, he hasn't seen anything yet. He's got a loser teammate like Jordan Poole to help get through his rookie season & Jordan Poole is most certainly a bad influence on him. I'm certain that Alex Sarr wishes that he had Draymond in his corner instead of Jordan Poole. Draymond would of been big help & an excellent role model to rookie Alex Sarr. I know that Draymond wouldn't of tolerated their current 13 game losing streak like Jordan Poole is currently doing. 

Also, he has Kyle Kuzma as a teammate & Kyle is just going through the motions playing for these losers. 

BTW, their next game & hopefully loss (it'll be 14) will be on Saturday Night against the Bucks. Doc Rivers better not mess this up like what he's doing to the Bucks.

Listen up, kid, here's what you have to do:

1. Aim to be the best.  That's right, try to break Rasheed Wallace's record for most ejections (29). 

2. To speed up objective 1, be sure to start hitting opposing players when you get annoyed. 

3. Tether yourself to a go with the flow superstar like Steph Curry because that's the only way other teammates will put up with your BS over the long term.

The Group part of the NBA Not Worth A Damn Cup wraps up tonight. But, who gives a damn about that. Something way more fun & important than that farce happened tonight. The Cavaliers took care of business by beating up on the Washington Wizards 118-87. The Wizards have now lost 15 in a row. They're halfway towards NBA immortality (29). They also didn't win a game in November so that's even more reason to laugh at the Washington Wizards. I hope that Jordan Poole is enjoying this. 

Poor Alex Sarr. That's the only person I feel bad for during this losing streak. Bad teammates, bad team, & bad vibes.

Washington won a game! Against Denver despite Jokic scoring fifty-six points.

Yikes, Nuggets. 😬

Yikes indeed, Damn it!!  🤬

I was really hoping that Wizards losing streak (16) kept on going. That losing streak & their ineptness has been a great distraction for me over having to suffer through that Not Worth A Damn Cup & ESPN whining about the Lakers being very bad for the past few weeks, while gripping about whether LeBron (who will turn 40 in a few weeks) has lost a step in the past few weeks. Its been downright irritating having to hear them blaming their slump (3-7 in the last 10 games) on LeBron & that he should think about retirement. Its bad enough that the GOAT debate bullshit is absolute brain rotting.

Speaking of brain rot, that Arsenal Not Worth A Damn Cup Quarterfinal is set. Yay. 😒

Tuesday will be Magic at Bucks & Mavericks at Thunder.

Wednesday will be Hawks at Knicks & those Warriors at Rockets.

The NBA Not Worth A Damn Cup is now in the semifinal phase. Yay. 😒

First game is Hawks vs Bucks on TNT.

Second game is Rockets vs Thunder on ABC. 

The other bad thing about this farce is that there will be even more nonsense from Dillon Brooks. Its bad enough that last night I had to choose between Steph or Dillon Brooks last night which is a," How do you want to suffer type of choice" because I really hate them both.

Joel Embiid is cursed.  The only plus is this was a fluke injury, so barring complications he'll just have to put on a protective mask for a while.  Of course, it'll likely be a moot point since his knee is almost certainly going to act up again.

Should we edit this to say the 76ers are cursed? I don't even like them or their fans, but this is getting sad.

Adam Silver should be very grateful that I somehow didn't take a nap during that NBA Not Worth A Damn Cup Final last night. It sure was "fun as hell" seeing OKC going 5-32 from 3 point range & them getting their butts kicked by the Bucks 97-81. At least, the Thunder made 5 3 pointers in the game, unlike the loser Rockets making NO 3 pointers (0-27) several yrs ago (2018) in a VERY big game against those Warriors. 🤬

As for the Bucks, hopefully they'll take that worthless Arsenal NBA Not Worth A Damn Cup trophy back home to Milwaukee & give it a home that it richly deserves. In a burning fireplace.

The format of the All-Star game is changing. 

Three teams of eight players each, and another team consisting of the winners of the Rising Stars Challenge. Each 'game', winner is the first to forty. 

Adam Silver can't be happy that the very first reaction is Durant emphatically saying that he hates it. Hee! 

I'm not here for KD's feelings, his constant whining, & hot takes. But, I agree with him in this. Frankly, all this does is make my 2 hour nap during the All Star Game on Sunday Night even more enjoyable. It's going to make my naps even better once NBC gets the All Star Game next season because I know that NBC is going to bring in the suck. At least, the All Star Game on TNT can keep me awake & entertained. NBC & Amazon bring none of that to the NBA next season.

Yesterday, those Warriors got their asses kicked on so many levels by the Grizzlies. The game was basically over halfway in the 1st Quarter. The final score was 144-93. 😂 😂

It gets even better because Steph didn't make a single field goal in the entire game. He went 0-7 & 0-6 in 3 point attempts while scoring only 2 points. 🤣🤣 🤣

Also Draymond didn't score any points & he went 0-4. It was the first time ever that both Steph & Draymond didn't make a single field goal together in the same game.

BTW, the Grizzlies made 27 3 pointers in the game.

That was Steph's worst game ever. Was everyone sick or something? 

He's surrounded with a team of non-scorers. Teams have simply been hounding him with the gamble that no one around him can shoot pennies into the ocean ... and they've been right. He's getting older and not as quick in evading defenders, and plus he's dealing with some knee thing (recurring).

The West is dealing with a lot of injuries right now. Hard to tell which team is really "best" when there's so many difficult situations with teams.

A team in some trouble is the Nuggets. They are fairly healthy and still not playing well.

Merry Christmas everybody. Today is those 5 NBA Christmas games. Yay.

The first game is Adam Silver tormenting us once again by putting the scummy Knicks on Christmas Day at MSG (very meh...) against Wemby & the Spurs. i'm not even remotely excited for this game. I'm only here for Wemby & there is nothing special or magical about playing at MSG on Christmas. 😒 BTW, the Knicks suck.

Game 2 is the Timberwolves at Mavericks. I really hope that this game will be very entertaining. The Timberwolves haven't been as good as last season so far & hopefully that will change soon. 

Game 3 is 76ers at Celtics & this game might be great for an actual 2 hour nap if it wasn't for the NFL being on today (🤬). The 76ers suck (no surprise there) & the Celtics are the Celtics (😠) . How very exciting. 😒

Speaking of exciting, Game 4 is yet another dose of LeBron vs Steph with ESPN/ABC always being lapdogs for Steph & those Warriors. Yay (😒). If Steph tells ESPN/ABC & fellow Steph fan club member Stephen A Smith to dive & play in the mud pit, ESPN/ABC & Stephen A Smith will tell Steph, "Head first or feet first?!"

Game 5 is Nuggets at Suns. I'm not here for the Suns & its very disappointing that they're good this season. I was hoping that the Suns & KD would suck this season & just flat out go away. Sadly that is not happening.

Yesterday games somewhat surprised me. Adam Silver should be happy that I didn't take a nap at any point of the games. 

Knicks 117 - Spurs 114. Wemby was being Wemby by scoring 42 points. Unfortunately, Mikal Bridges scored 41 points & was clutch at the end of the game to lead the rotten disgusting Knicks to victory. (🤬) I was not very happy with that result & there is still nothing special or magical about playing at MSG on Christmas. Knowing Adam Silver's stupid ass, he is probably happy with that result & will bring us even more torture by putting these scumbags on Christmas once again next season. 

Timberwolves 105 - Mavericks 99. Good for the Timberwolves to get the job done with Anthony Edwards leading the way with 26 points. Hopefully, things will start to get better for him & the Timberwolves. BTW, Luka Doncic got a strained left calf in the 2nd Quarter & didn't return. 

76ers 118 - Celtics 114. I thought this game is going to suck & it'll be nap inducing. It turned to be an OK game. Embiid actually gave a damn for a change this season & had himself a pretty game. Tyrese Maxey helped out with his 33 points. It was somewhat enjoyable even though both teams are not very rootable. 

Lakers 115 - those Warriors 113. The Lakers had to make me sweat it out profusely in the last couple minutes of the game & almost threw it all away. (🤬) Thank god Austin Reaves came to the rescue at the end & save me from probable stomach ulcers & cramps because Steph was being Steph at the end & nearly lead those scummy Warriors to a comeback victory. (🤬) Thank god his last shot from 3/4 court only hit the backboard because normally stuff like that from Steph goes into the net. ESPN/ABC, Stephen A Smith, & Richard Jefferson was really hoping that last shot from Steph would of went in to win the game for their Warriors. Well, too bad for them. 🤣 🤣

BTW, it was the 4th time that LeBron & Steph played each other Christmas. Hopefully, there will not be a 5th meeting next season. But, knowing how stupid & idiotic Adam Silver is, its sadly probably going to happen. 

Suns 110 - Nuggets 100. I was not happy that Suns won the game last night. Its bad enough that they're not sucking right now like I want them too. 

Overall, it was a mixed bag for me in the NBA yesterday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LeBron James!! 😊 🤩  LeBron is now 40 years old. 

As for the Lakers, they made a trade over the weekend. The Lakers traded D'Angelo Russell, Maxwell Lewis, & 3 2nd Round picks to the Brooklyn Nets for Dorian Finney-Smith & Shake Milton. I don't know anything about Dorian Finney-Smith & Shake Milton. But, I figure that both of them should make the Lakers little bit better than they currently are.

I remember when LeBron was still in HS.  More local sports commentators (channels 3, 5, 8 & 19) talked up Vincent St Mary than the Cavaliers.  Of course the Cavs were really bad, the Browns (still) terrible, tho Indians were at least winning usually.

Some of those Vincent St Mary's games even made national tv.

Thel PBS station in Cleveland used to show local high school basketball games on Saturday nights.  My dad watched most weeks.  I will never forget my dad telling me to check the listings for the next time St Vincent/St Mary played.  'They've got this kid on their team who is better than half the guys in the NBA. I wrote his name down so I would remember to tell you to check him out.'  LeBron, of course.

Last night on Inside the NBA was very entertaining as usual. This really really made me laugh & Charles Barkley absolutely put JJ Redick in his place. 

Charles Barkley Destroys JJ Redick for Blaming him for LOW RATINGS

Charles Barkley absolutely goes off on JJ Redick for calling him out 😂 

BTW, the Celtics & Timberwolves combined attempted 96 3-pointers last night. The Celtics made 22 of them & the Timberwolves made 21. Also, the Celtics won the game 118-115. Yay.
