NBA numbers are out, %28 drop from last season in viewership, about 50%+ less than ten years ago. I know that NBA is still watched enough to make money and all, but if this situation goes on any longer, we are not going to get players who are paid a lot. The trend was that it is going up, the most paid player goes up, and at some people we were expecting 100+ million per year for some player, and looking at how viewership is down, I am guessing the income will get lower too and things won't be as easy for NBA managers and team owners to pay these players because the team isn't making that kind of money.
The main reason why we are not getting it is because we are not seeing any superstar battles, I think Cavs vs Warriors were a bit fun, but we literally have no superstar left, not like the old days at least. Back in the day the superstars carried the league and people went mad trying to watch them, I do not think anyone goes crazy about watching Jokic now, it's just not fun.

Bronny just put up 30 points in his first G league road game. Thats pretty impressive. I guess you could say that he’s not letting the situation with his Dad get in his head. Prettt crazy to suddenly break out with such a high scoring game after struggling so much, but it looks like maybe Bronny will redeem himself after all.
It's really crazy run by the Hawks this season as we can call them the giant killer as they've dealt the best team in the East and beaten them. And who would forget the Hawks vs Knicks playoff match up seasons ago wherein Trae Young was the villain?
But this time, Young has a good partner in Jalen Johnson, as Jalen becoming a big time player and helping the Hawks with those big wins against great team. Hope though that Bogdan Bogdanović will improved his numbers this season as it seems that he is inconsistent.
Tbh Trae Young is always consistent on delivering a crucial points when he is needed even before. The only problem of Hawks is they are always easy to counter especially during playoffs since the enemy team just need to check Trae then the team will already crumble. Only the effort of Trae makes them win but it’s very hard to maintain that kind of game performance consistently during playoffs while the rest of the team is not helping.
Actually, Jalen Johnson is still not that impactful. Hawks just manage to continuously beat strong team in NBA cup because it’s a one game only that makes it hard to adjust on Trae game once in zone.
Speaking of Bronny, I hear he's traveling with his G-league team now. He seems to be improving as well. If he continues getting better, we may even see him grace the bench for the Lakers again this season.
He has been putting good numbers in the G-league, or least he has been given the chance to play more minutes and so he could improved and be ready for the NBA. We all know that he has raw potential, and he was just drafted by the LA Lakers to somewhat please Lebron.
Atlanta Hawks currently leading the Knicks in their game. The Hawks push themselves in the 3rd quarter, outscoring the Knicks at 30-18 to make that separation. But the quarter is not done yet and we still have the last so let's see how the Knicks will come back here.
It’s a crazy turnaround from the Atlanta Hawks which started from the 3rd Quarter, I don’t know if I should say the Knicks got too comfortable after their first half performance and with the Atlanta Hawks looking completely out of sync early in the game, but the 2nd half was a completely different affair, the Hawks were super solid, although they officials let a whole of contact slide (imo).
The Hawks have beaten the Celtics at Boston, Cavaliers at Ohio, and now the Knicks at MSG, what a complete run for an underdog team, let’s see if they can complete the heroic run which the Pacers couldn’t do last season.

Looks like Bronny James have improve in the G League.. is it time to bring him back to the Lakers?
Bronny James Thrills NBA Fans with 30 Points Despite G League Lakers' Loss to Suns
The Lakers are struggling as of late. Will Bronny come to the rescue and save the team? Hehe, maybe that’s just my fantasy. But I noticed that when he was still with the Lakers, the team did great, even though he wasn’t given a lot of minutes. Maybe he was just their lucky charm.

He needs to continue producing that same numbers and give everything to the game who knows what's awaits him and his career, right now, that return to NBA is not an easy journey for him, Lakers needs someone who can give them some lift on both sides of the floor, they are not perfoming well it's showing from each games that they've played.
I like your observation hahaha since when he and his dad made that history the hypes really played well but reality comes up and that's the reason why he needs to go down and Play in the D-league.
And Bronny James will have to fight it out on hundreds of G-League players as well to play in the NBA. The only thing is that he has or at least his father has so much influence that he was drafted by the Lakers, but there could be talks between Lebron and the Lakers that he will go to the G-League so that he can improved him game.
So who knows, maybe if Lebron will retire next year, Bronny might still have play in the NBA. We criticized Bronny for not a NBA player material, but maybe he can still a lot as he is still very young and could still have the potential to play even if his father is no longer in the NBA.

Bronny James is in the NBA only because of LeBron and i think he wont make a career for himself. He will keep on being close or in the nba due to his dad and thats it. He barely got college time now he barely gets time in the G league. Was expecting that his son is much better but Bronny can only make more damage to Lakers team then that he can help them

There have been players who really play good in the G league and then becomes a superstar in the NBA. On the contrary, there could also be players that are producing numbers in the G-League but could be disappointing in the NBA. With that, even if Bronny has reported to have a good numbers, I do not think that we will rescue to the Lakers and save the team. He will not have any impact at all when he comes back to the Lakers. I've heard that if the Lakers will play home court, Bronny will play but not sure if that had happened already. Lol, at the lucky charm, we all know that he was just pick up by the Lakers, because of his father, that's it. Bronny James Thrills NBA Fans with 30 Points Despite G League Lakers' Loss to Suns

I guess no, improvements in G league doesn't mean anything especially if he go up on more competitive league like NBA.
Maybe best for Lakers is to let Bronny improve more since in G league he can get lots of minutes, so for sure that there's lots of chance for him to improve more there. Compare if they rush him to go back again in Lakers where there's huge chance that we can see again the same Bronny James which doesn't give much impact for Lakers.
But maybe let see if the coach will decide that he's ready to take a shot again and get good minutes in Lakers rotation.

It's not only fantasy, it's like a fever dream, haha. While getting 30 points is of course a great accomplishment it's still only one game. On the other hand, I wonder when the last time was that he made 30 points.
I think even at Sierra Canyon, he prep school, he didn't have a 30 point game and of course playing as USC he wasn't even close to that number, he only had like 5 ppg that season.
Anyway, maybe this performance will give him a boost, good for him.
About Jimmy Buckets and the trade rumors. Jimmy was even trolling with coloring some of his braids in orange, haha. Basically using the colors of the Phoenix Suns.
Butler seems to be taking issue with Shams reporting that Butler was looking to be traded and laid out his preferred trade destinations. Jimmy went at Shams saying he was full of it and Shams responded by going off on camera about how his sources are good and he’s a professional so if he says it then it’s true… Jimmy to Golden State?
Butler's agent has something to say about it too. Quote
"Alright, listen, I gave you a pass yesterday because I was busy, but if you don’t stop putting my name on your complete and utter made-up bull—because you know you normally aren’t worth my time to acknowledge," Lee argued.
https://basketnews.com/news-216277-jimmy-butler-reacts-to-trade-rumorsi-fing-love-it-as-agent-slams-shams-charania.htmlBut the Miami Heat is really entertaining a trade for Jimmy so I guess it's okay to put Jimmy in the discussions. I think Shams' sources are from inside the Miami management and the agent of Jimmy will just have to abide with it if ever the Heat decides to let him go. I guess he just doesn't like that his name is being dragged on the issue.
Also, Jimmy is going to enter the free agency next summer so the Heat not giving him the extension means they are ready to let him go for a new player in their roster.
I don't think the Warriors will get him. The Suns seem to be the most interested team right now.

Jimmy Butler is back at it again with some nice(?) hairdo. Posted on his instagram and this is what you all will see, an orange braid.

Well, LeBron could make a real mess of his reputation if he eventually gets somehow implicated in this dirty case.
It's noteworthy that this time, his absence from the games is formally due to injury, not personal reasons. At least the media say that he is listed as out for the upcoming game against the Wolves allegedly because of left foot soreness.

That's what it says here - Lakers' LeBron James Receives Disappointing Injury Update For Wolves Game.. however, being a superstar, Lebron could easily influence the team to list him with injury even if he was not.. I like OG's speculation, been following the case of P diddy, and if Lebron is involve, that would mean jail time to him as they were talking about minors being force to be in the party for whatever rituals they did.
LeBron James is taking time off from the Lakers for “personal reasons.” I can’t help but think that this might be related to the P Diddy arrest. It seems like people are coming for these guys now. Jay-Z is being looked at and LeBron was part of that circle. This will be crazy if LeBron’s legacy is destroyed over Diddy parties.

I guess this issue starts to spread out because of this https://www.si.com/fannation/mma/news/ex-ufc-champ-calls-out-scumbag-lebron-james-viral-diddy-party-comment
And I'm surprised that there's certain like that happened since Lebron is known to be a family man and a good role model. But hopefully Lebron's camp can clear that out since we don't want to see the legacy of Lebron will be ruined just because of those awful controversy made by P Diddy.
Now they are getting media and people's attention so let see if there's good basis or solid proof that can point out Lebron's involvement with that issue.

OKC manage to limit Luka they have a good system not to allow the main star to contribute that well, a good team effort that gave them the win today, SGA as always leads them to the scoring productions with him and the rest of the OKC theytake the win and surely bring their fans a huge win today.
Keeping the top spot with 19-5 standing, still far but with how they are playing the game a combination of offense and a good defense that's really something that keep them on top.

OKC do not have the experience to play in the playoffs yet, it's a young team and because of that the yare not getting the calls they need and they are playing in regular season against teams that are totally different during playoffs which they need to learn more about. Eventually, if they can keep the core of this team going, I am sure that they are going to do much better, and they will grow to be a title contender as well but they just need a few more seasons for it, I would say maybe not this season and next season, but the season after that.
Last season though might be a good experience for them, and that's why they made the adjustments of trading Giddey in exchange of a great defender in Caruso. And so far it work, as Caruso has impacted their games with his hustle play that can't be recorded. He guarded Kyrie and make his work double hard just to score. And overall, I think their defense also improved a lot without sacrificing their offense.
They could be playoff bound again, but this time, from the lessons last season, they can get over the hump this year and show why they are the best team in the West right now.
For Curry's attempt, the Warriors will win or die with his outside shot.
. And I do not think that Steve Kerr will blame him for taking that.
