Magog February 17 Share February 17 (edited) Other than Mac McClung winning 3 in a row in that Dunk Contest (😊) & the TNT broadcast being enjoyable (except for Kevin Hart unfunny annoying ass), that All Star Weekend basically sucked. The format sucked, but it was tolerable because it was on TNT. Its going to really suck when NBC & Amazon are broadcasting All Star Weekend in Los Angeles next season. Hell, I couldn't even remotely remember who won the 3 Point shooting contest & the Skills competition on Saturday Night.. I also didn't know that LeBron didn't play last night because of his left ankle soreness. I didn't even remotely care that LeBron didn't play it all. BTW, his left ankle is just a little sore & its nothing to worry about. I just wish that he was more quiet about it. Unfortunately, its going to pour more gasoline into that very stupid, tiresome, loathsome, & brain rotting inducing GOAT - Legacy dumpster fire. It also sucked that Steph was MVP again last night. But, I'm sure that ESPN was very happy that their favorite "manly man" got the MVP in that sucky ho-hum format. Also, Draymond was very confident last night in predicting that those Warriors are going to win it all. That is not going to happen & I should be irritated that he did that. But, I'm OK with that because its Draymond being Draymond. It'll be very different if it came from Steph.

Magog February 20 Share February 20 (edited) The All Star Break is finally over, thank god. The 2nd half starts tonight with 9 games with the main games being Celtics - 76ers & Suns - Spurs on TNT. The Lakers lost to the Hornets last night 100-97. It was basically a ho-hu type of game. BTW, LeBron got 26 points & his ankle seems OK. The Lakers play the sorry Trail Blazers tonight & then play the Nuggets on Saturday Night on ABC. With Luka being on the team & getting himself into shape, maybe they can finally beat the Nuggets for a change with Luka's help. Edit: Here is some bad news.

Magog February 23 Share February 23 I guess I was wrong about the Lakers last night. They finally got a win against the Nuggets for a change. The Lakers beat up on the Nuggets 123 - 100. LeBron got his usual 25 points. Luca was a big help in the win with his 32 points & Austin Reaves was a big contributor to the victory with his 23 points & making 4 out of 7 3-pointers. Overall, there might be some hope in the Lakers possibly beating the Nuggets in the Playoffs after last night's big win.

Magog February 26 Share February 26 (edited) Quote Not the way I thought the game would go down (though the outcome was what I though FWIW). However, it was actually a pretty good game! It was a pretty good game. The Mavericks somehow kept it close, but the Lakers prevailed at the end 107 - 99. Lebron was being LeBron as usual with 27 points. Luca Doncic was excellent last night getting a Triple-Double via 19 points, 15 rebounds, & 12 assists. Overall, it was another good win for the Lakers & they've won 15 out of their last 20 games. They're currently in 4th place in the West with 2nd place within reach (only 2 games behind). ESPN is very happy with that result. Meanwhile, the Cavaliers beat up on the Magic 122 - 82. The Cavaliers are currently 48-10 (with the Thunder not far behind being 46-11). But in ESPN's mind, who gives a damn about that when the Celtics are being the Celtics (🤬), the Lakers are playing very well right now & are currently Finals contenders, & their Warriors are in 8th place with 6th place in their sights (🤬) thanks to Jimmy Butler.

Unfortunately, my pinkeye got even worse last night because of having to watch another dose of Steph being Steph once again. (🤬) Those absolute scummy Warriors beat the Magic 121-115 all thanks to Steph being Steph. (🤬) Steph scored 56 points, made 12 3-pointers, & made a beyond half-court buzzer beater to end the 1st half. (🤬) He even outscored the Magic by himself in the 3rd Quarter. ESPN was overly thrilled that their "Precious Manly Man" put up another epic performance for them. Overall, it brought even more agony to me & my eyes. Also, the Lakers won again last night & it made ESPN even more happier. Edited February 28 by Magog 1 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2756-the-nba/page/157/#findComment-8593782

They both play each other again on Sunday Night at the Crypt & it will be a surprise to nobody when the Lakers beat the Clippers again. As for some very good news, the Cavaliers were down 25-3 to the Celtics & it looked very very bad for them. But, the Cavaliers fought their way back & found a way to win the game 123-116. Hopefully, this big comeback win will bode them well in the Playoffs. My pinkeye is starting to heal up somewhat because of this. As for the bad news, those Warriors are playing the 76ers tomorrow night on ABC. Yay. 😒 I'm certain that Steph will bring me even more agony & anguish.

roamyn March 2 Share March 2 (edited) What a comeback for the Cavs last night! Yes I know Porzinga was sick. But to have that devastating a 1st Qtr, fight back and then take over the 4th? What's positive is that while Brown & Tatum played nearly 35 min each, the Cavs deep bench allowed then to rotate (tho Spida did play more than normal) leaving the Csvs better rested. That bodes well for a deep playoff run. ETA That's two games in a row that the Celtics have had a letdown in the 4th and let a team come back and win. I think that's due somewhat to exhaustion. Now the Cavs are up 8 games on the Celtics and the East likely goes through Cleveland. 🏀👏👏 Edited March 2 by roamyn 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2756-the-nba/page/157/#findComment-8595155

roamyn Friday at 08:47 AM Share Friday at 08:47 AM The Cavs are the first to secure their spot in the Playoffs, and they'll likely be the #1 seed in the East, and possibly have home court advantage if they can continue to keep up one game on the Thunder. They're also only the 2nd team in NBA history to have three separate 12 game runs in a season. The 06-07 Mavs I think are the other team. Hopefully they don't crash & burn in the Playoffs like those Mavs did. Lebron & Luka & the Lakers look intimidating right now. They're on a tear in the West. I'd rather have them over the Warriors though. I don't know why, but I've never cared for Steph. Lebron is playing like he's years younger.
