Another day. Another Cavaliers victory. Unlike the Lakers on Monday Night, the Cavaliers beat the Nets in a close game 109 - 104. An 18 point comeback was needed in the 2nd half & Donovan Mitchell didn't play last night due to a groin injury (he will be fine.)

Right now, the Cavaliers are on another 15 game winning streak & their record is now 55-10.

Well, the Lakers lost again. This time to the Milwaukee Bucks 126-106. Austin Rivers & Luca Doncic were the only Lakers that gave a damn last night. Both of them combined for 73 points. The Lakers are now in 4th place in the Western Conference & are currently 3-3 without Lebron playing. They play at Denver tonight so hopefully that'll be another loss for the Lakers.

BTW, Steph hit his 4,000th 3-pointer last night. Yippee. (😒) It was just another stroll in the park 130-104 win for those Warriors over the Sacramento Kings. How exciting. (😒)

I hope that Monta Ellis is somewhere punching the air in absolute anger right now.

Tonight, the Lakers put up a fight against the Nuggets without Luca Doncic. Austin Reaves had another great game with 37 points. Dalton Knecht was also great with 32 points. Even Bronny helped out a little bit with 5 points. Sadly for the Lakers, it wasn't enough as they lost to the Nuggets 131-126. 

Also, the Cavaliers won again for 16 in a row. They beat the Grizzlies 133-124. ☺️ 😊

Yeah Grandma Kitty rates a full blown spot, but Cavs with the longest win streak this year, plus the best record, rank nothing!

Coming from ESPN, its not surprising. Also just like Grandma Kitty, they're very happy that their Warriors won again tonight. Beating the sorry lame ass Knicks 97-94. Hell, I'm surprised that they decided to put the Cavaliers on at 1pm today on ABC. They play the Magic at home on National TV. The other game on ABC will be Suns at Lakers. Yay. 😒 ESPN/ABC is probably more interested in that game than the Cavaliers game.

Magic 108 - Cavaliers 103. 🤬  Evan Moebly didn't play because of a foot injury. But, the Cavaliers still should of won this game. 

The 16 game winning streak is over. I know that a whole bunch of people on ESPN & FS1 are flat out thrilled that the Orlando Magic took it to them & won the game. I know for certain that if the Magic - Cavaliers meet again in the 1st round like last year, I know who they're rooting for & its not the Cavaliers.

Overall, this really sucks.

I'm okay with it.  They still have 3 streaks of 12 or more, including the longest of the year.  They had to lose sometime, and better now than in the Playoffs.  Sometimes great teams just lose to weak ones.  It's a fluke, but it happens.  They lost to the Hawks earlier this year.

Better to rest guys and be healthy.

Speaking of streaks, looks like the Lakers started a James-less streak in terms of winning games.  What's scary & possible is that might be the peak

Well, they now won 2 in a row without Lebron. Back to back home games for the Lakers (Suns - Spurs) & they have taken care of business with no problems. 

Edit: I forgot something. Jokic & Murray didn't play at all last night against those Warriors & somehow, someway, the Nuggets won the game 114-105. 🤣 🤣

At this moment, the Lakers are in 4th place & those Warriors are in 6th place.

Man, ain't this a bitch? All of a sudden, the Cavaliers have lost 4 in a row & they're 0-3 on this current trip. They're running on fumes right now & I'm really hoping that they get it together before the Playoffs. This is the wrong time to get on a losing streak. They play the worthless Jazz (except for Colin Sexton) tomorrow so hopefully it wouldn't get much worse by losing to these nobodies.

As for those Warriors, Steph got a boo boo (pelvic contusion) on Thursday night against the Raptors. He will be fine. Since, ESPN now thinks their man Steph need some rest for the Playoffs, they now got their wish. Besides, those Warriors are playing a bunch of scrubs & some losers on their 6 game road trip, so they should be fine without Steph on the road trip.

The Lakers may of lost to the Bucks 118-89 on Thursday Night & LeBron is still not back from his groin injury. BTW, its still nothing to worry about & LeBron will be fine thank you very much. But, Bronny scored 17 points in the game & went 2-4 from 3 point range. In a surprise to flat out nobody, Bronny has made more 3 pointers in his rookie season (6) than that pathetic loser Ben Simmons entire career (5). Bronny will be much more success in his NBA career than Ben Simmons will ever have. Hell, even Alex Sarr's sorry ass will have a better career than Ben Simmons.

Simmons is a supremely talented player who was unfortunately derailed by mental issues and physical injuries. He was Rookie of the Year and a three-time All Star, and set an absolutely blistering pace for racking up points, assists and rebounds in his early years, second only to Oscar Robertson. He had so many triple doubles that even now that he's barely played in years and hardly shoots when he does, he's still #14 all-time. In short, he was a genuine star and had he sustained that, he would have been one of the all-time greats.

Bronny James doesn't have half the talent and will never come close to any of that, except maybe getting selected to All-Defensive second team a couple times if his defense gets even better and his size and health don't get in the way. His future, once his dad finally retires, is as a role player often coming off the bench - not a star. His floor is respectable but his ceiling isn't high.

Sadly, Damian Lillard season is over after being diagnosed with DVT (a blood clot) in his right calf. Hopefully, he will be OK.

Lebron was being interviewed by Pat McAfee for an hour today on ESPN & I didn't even watch a second of it. Manly because 1-It was a waste of 2 hours & not worth my time. 2-My 2 hour nap was more productive & relaxing than that interview. 3-It was LeBron talking some more as usual & bringing even more red meat to ESPN. 4-Pat McAfee really sucks, his TV-Youtube Show really sucks, & he's as likable as Jerry Jones & his stupid son Stephen. 5-Its very likely that its pure brain rot. Of course, what do you expect from Pat McAfee?

Isn't McAfee an antivirus?

A most definite YES. 

That interview was downright pointless & was not needed.

Since this loudmouth gasbag is a Pacers fan, I really hope that he enjoyed that LeBron buzzer-beater last night. I know I did.

The Lakers are still in 4th place & those Warriors are in 7th place. Also much to ESPN's delight, the Suns are now in 10th place. (😠)

The Lakers won the game on Wednesday night against the Pacers thanks to LeBron's buzzer beater. 

LeBron James GAME WINNER BUZZER BEATER vs Pacers off Luka Doncic miss 😱

Last night, the Lakers gave that game away against the sorry useless Bulls thanks to LeBron's costly brain cramp. The Lakers were up by 5 points (115-110) with 12 seconds to go when this absolute miracle happened.
