The 76ers are just plain bad. They’re at full strength tonight and still the Indiana Pacers are having their way with them. I’m sure they’re all still dealing with injuries, but Paul George has been out there for weeks now. You’d think they would at least be able to keep the game close with all their stars in the game.

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.
We need more of that, because if it’s just a one game impressive performance and he scores less than 10 points in the next game, people will forget about it, and he might stay in the league longer to develop his skills. Maybe the Lakers are really done... they might not be a championship team again. Anyway, they have a game today, and they’re +8.5 against the Wolves. I’m assuming LeBron isn’t playing, given that high handicap.

With or without Lebron, the Lakers have been quite a mess lately and it doesn't seem as though today is going to be any different, they've started the game as extremely poorly as they've been doing recently it's barely 9 minutes in the game, and they've already turned the ball over 8 times, against a Minnesota Timberwolves team that they can't afford to let build up a significant lead because it's just going to be an uphill battle trying to get back into the game for the remaining 32 minutes across the next 3 Quarters, maybe if they can still finish the quarter strongly, if not, I'm sure the Lakers starters would be having an early rest for most of the 2nd half.

I am impressed with that. But most of the drafted in the NBA have their own talents that have been shown to the scouts and that's why they're picked. Although it was a different thing on him and it's said that there's nepotism that's why he's drafted. And this is nice, he's just showing the way he's playing and I think if this continues to go on, the Lakers will be satisfied that they've drafted him and will soon move to the main roster back once he's done in the G League.

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.

Or maybe it has something to do with the US economy as well? Fans who can buy tickets before, can't afford it right now because of they don't have money to begin with. But I do agree though that the landscape has change a lot since the early 2000's.

And now we have seen super teams, super others that join each other to make a run for the championship. Or maybe if we see some big trades that involved big names as well. Not sure about the Warriors though, at the start they are on hot streak, but now, they like in the lower end and it might be hard for them to make the playoffs again.

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.  Cheesy

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.

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.  Roll Eyes

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.  Cool

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.

"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.html

But 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.

I've heard that news and I think that this or next week, the Miami Heat is going to take any possible offer that will be in favor of them. Otherwise, it has already been concluded where he is going. This is going to be a huge loss for the Heat I guess. Trading their very own star player for someone who needs to adjust then. If Michael Jordan's son goes to the Golde State then that's going to be an amazing roster. Jimmy in the inside while the other stars just hitting it outside the paint.

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.
