With only 89 points to go now it's starting to get exciting. In order for LeBron to do it at home and on TNT against the Bucks, he's going to have to score 30 points per game in the next three games. That's his average, so it isn't out of the question. The pressure will certainly be on though as I don't think anyone wants to be on the other side of this piece of history. Still, I'm looking for LeBron to try and put up 40 ppg in the next 2 games to make it easy on himself to make the record happen. It is starting to look a little like it might happen on ABC in front of the Warriors fans though.

Yeah, he's should get 30 for the remaining games and he'll definitely there and we all will witness history being mae. I've seen a trivia about his stats for the recent game that he's the first at his age to do a triple-double.

What's more interesting is that as he's approaching to hit those numbers. How much the price for the ticket will be for every close possible game that he'll make it.

Just wild to think that seats during the Thunders game costs around $75k and I guess for the Bucks too and I think that's where LeBron will make a history passing Kareem. Just few more scores for LeBron for him to pass that greatness but it's still crazy to think that he is passing a guy that only made 1 goal at a three point line.

It is the era where the big men dominate the game so it is just natural that he would score in the paint. And 3-point line was not introduced until he was already half his career. It shows how dominant Kareem is to be able to score that many with just two pointers.

Quote from: stadus on February 01, 2023, 12:00:21 PM

That's for sure because this is a rare scenario and probably one of the most memorable play in the league because there will be another player who will pass Kareem's scoring title and that would take a lot of time before LeBron will get dethroned by someone in the next generations.

May take a while but maybe sooner. The way the game is being played right now, the scoring title can be over took sooner. We are seeing high scoring games lately and I barely see games with scores under 100. Stars are shooting 3s like it is just a perimeter shot. If this kind of game continues, a prolific scorer with a durable body will be able to do it.

.

This is very doable with the help of his teammates. Hope they feed Lebron so it will be easy for him to achieve 40 points per game in his next 3 games. It would be extra special if they can celebrate their achievement in their own home.

Yes, 30-30 or 35-35, so it will be relaxing to do at home in LA. If ever the pressure is too much like what happened to Steph before breaking Ray Allen's 3 points made, I bet the DubNation will be respectful enough for achieving such a great achievement and stand in their seats to celebrate it.
Although I like it to be broadcast by TNT for unbiased opinions, ABC might not be that bad. Cheesy

We have a postponed game today.

Quote

Stranded in an ice storm in Dallas, the Detroit Pistons have been unable to fly home to host a Wednesday night game against the Washington Wizards -- which has led to its postponement.

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/35571135/wizards-pistons-postponed-travel-issues-ice-storm
Sorry for those who made their parlay with Wizards included in it. That's a void for now.
And the New Orleans Pelicans were unable to leave Denver yet for their game against Dallas Mavericks tomorrow because of the same reason.
How cold is it there now? I hope everyone's okay.

Crazy ending to that Lakers game. LeBron got another chance to get a game winner but this time he passed the ball to Anthony Davis who then committed an offensive foul which ended up with the game going to overtime. They still won and LeBron moved a little closer to the record. Westbrook seemed to get a lot of crunch time minutes as well.

That was a lucky break for the Knicks, it's just that their last play was not planned well, I think it should be Brunson who should take the last shot as he is hot in that game, for sure if he missed it, he might get a foul. I don't understand why it was Randle who took the last shot.

Randle, as I observed him, he wanted to be the go-to guy of the team. I also consider that it should be Brunson to take that last
shot as he got a much better percentage, and he's not new in carrying a team.

Remember when Luka was out during the semis against the Sun's this man really help the team to win games and not to allow
Suns to take advantage of them.

When Brunson was still with the Dallas Mavericks, it was Randle who is the go to guy, unfortunately he is not a clutch player that's why they struggle in the playoffs. I think it's always the coach decision that has to be followed, the fact that he took the last shot, the design of play was probably on him.

Quote from: carlisle1 on February 01, 2023, 04:27:14 AM

But nothing that can be changed now, good to see that Lakers wins might be another controversial missed call.

I believe it was not a missed call, it's an offensive foul by the Davis, was challenge and the challenge was unsuccessful.

Probably, that was a call from coach Thibodeau because he wanted Randle to take the shot to see if how well he is in handling the pressure, you know just to see if he had some changes while they are still playing in regular games as it's better to know first who are the players that will be reliable enough when situations got tough because I reckon not all the time Brunson will be with the team and healthy.

But if you look at the game, Randle is not shooting very well, and that is why he is being criticize in this game. So not sure if this is a good play for coach Thibodeau to give Julius the ball and obviously Lakers know where it is going as he was double team in that last play.

Might be a better option for Brunson though, but it is what it is. Lakers escape with a big victory and Lebron is closing on that record.

Lots of game in for tonight, 76ers vs Magic might be very interesting and see if Magic can repeat it again.

Julius gets a lot of the last minute looks on the team. No way hartenstein gets the ball there. He is really a backup center (Mitchell Robinson is hurt). Backup journeymen center is not getting the last look in that game. Lakers knew where it was going which was the issue. Knicks suck in late game situations.

I don't get your post, didn't you read it carefully? I wasn't talking about last ball when I mentioned Hartenstein. He played great whole game, if you watched the game you'd understand. Especially in last quarter he grabbed too many offensive rebounds and created second chances but other Knicks players failed to use them. They could've won the game without going to overtime. This is what happens when you hit only 7/34 behind the 3-point line.

The Lakers played well as a team. At a point, I actually thought that it might go south for Lakers. But in the end, everything was all right. LeBron James and Anthony Davis played well. Lakers have been through a bad form recently. And it was good to see that Lakers have won this game. They have not been consistent at all. Hopefully, this will be the time when they start being consistent. Five wins in the last 10 are probably not up to the standards that Lakers set for themselves.

Fair point but I have to way that the Lakers somehow got lucky this night because the Knicks are out of their form lately and it's quite surprising that Randle took that shot because it's been proven that he is not a clutch player. Yes, he's quite reliable to shoot whenever the team needs him but under pressure? He's not the go-to-guy for the Knicks, that is why a lot of people has been left wondering why he was chosen to have the ball in the most crucial seconds.

I don't think there were deeper meanings about that last ball. Randle couldn't use the clock good and couldn't find an opportunity to make a good shot. I'd go with Brunson all day. After Brunson, I liked Hartenstein's performance most. His offensive rebounds get too many second chances for Knicks but they couldn't use them well.
Lakers were better in overtime though. LeBron made another triple double without any effort. Only 89 points left to break the record. With his 30 ppg lately, we'll see the record breaking moment in 3 to 4 matches.

Hard for me to believe that Lakers won in OT last night. Without LeBron and AD , lakers are really a total different team that can't even fight for playoffs but with them in the court , everything changes for Lakers.

Also , with this W from last night , their chances to catch playoffs are once again in their hands but still , if AD or Lebron will miss some games due to injuries , I'm afraid Lakers dream of catching playoffs will be crushed.

Sad for Bulls too , as my team simply doesn't have the same chemistry between players like they had last year and I think it's all to LaVine as even last night he had a poor performance.

I do not think that playoffs means anything to them at this point. If they somehow get into the play-in spot, and they end up somehow getting that 8th spot and face the first, will they beat them? Of course not, they are going to lose.

So, why to go playoffs when you know your team is not ready and they are going to lose? Makes no sense to me, it's better to focus on how they could rebuild, and they could just stay out of it and start working on the team right away. They don't have any good picks, which means that they could do two things to make sure they have good picks. They could trade AD and get some good picks, and they have that big salary gap from Westbrook finally being out of contract and get some other teams bad contract for some good picks as well.

Lakers suck right now and will be a lottery pick possibly a high pick next year when bronny is available. They aren't going to blow a high pick on bronny just to keep lebron who will be 40 years old on the team. That would set the team back years. Not to mention they don't have many assets other than their own draft picks moving forward. No way bronny goes in the lottery lol.

Well I am not a Lakers fan but actually a Golden State Warriors fan, so yeah the Lakers really suck, but potentially they did great against the Boston Celtics but fucked by the referee and lost big time, And yeah Bronny James could potentially be a risky trade to take, but eventually, he will be 1 of the trade, and even though it is not in the Lakers, he will eventually turn pro, and if it isn't the Los Angeles Lakers that could take him That is OK because Lebron James is still willing to adjust to terms just making his dream a reality and playing with his son in the NBA, and if he fulfill that this year, I think he is ready to retire whatever happens to him,

Quote from: gagux123 on January 29, 2023, 05:39:54 PM

Well, I don't know if LeBron James is in his prime, but I have no doubt that he is living a great moment in his life, because he is going through several important moments, for example, his possible retirement (I believe that maybe in 3 or 5 years he may retire, this is not real, just my assumption), LJ is winning several records, he is also having a not very good time in the Lakers (although he is scoring in several games), and also I have no doubt that he is analyzing and preparing (or at least helping) Bronny to enter the NBA, depending on the situation I have no doubt that LJ will also intend to do everything to get Bryce into the NBA in the future (which in my opinion has had a great evolution recently).

Eventually, Lebron James will be going at that moment of retirement but we don't really know if it's 3 to 5 years from now, I think teams will not risk paying a 40-plus Lebron James but if Lebron James would likely play with his son as a teammate in NBA I think that will be the time he is ready to give way in his retirement, or will be ready for retirement, because eventually he is going there, and eventually his son is getting into Pro League, and I think that is a beautiful thing about this what Lebron James wants to accomplice,

Feb. 7: vs. Oklahoma City Thunder
Feb. 9: vs. Milwaukee Bucks
Feb. 11: at Golden State Warriors
Feb. 13: at Portland Trail Blazers

And don't forget the fact that Kareem will get dethroned by another player who is on the same team like he was when he got that all-time scoring title, the Los Angeles Lakers. Surely it's not an easy feat to get but LeBron managed to do it anyway and now, he's just few scores away from breaking that record that has been hanging in the league for some decades already.

But they still get the job done, because Randle missed that shot on the other end. Maybe Lebron will not get the whistle that's why he opted to pass, but still the referee has to call an offensive foul on that play.

That 3 of Westbrook though, he seems to be also playing very good, maybe the effect of Lebron's chasing that record? because for sure he knows that feeling when he himself broke a record that seems to be untouchable.

Yeah, but Davis is still very fragile, there are some scary moments when you see him limping after a rebound. So still very dangerous for Lakers if he will be injured again or later when they are trying to make a playoff/playin position.

You're right that Davis is very fragile because he can be injured literally because of any touch. So if the Lakers want to reach the playoffs, they need to find a way to keep Davis safe from ridiculous injuries. That seems like a really tough task for Coach Ham, as he should find a balance between getting the most out of Davis on the court and giving Davis plenty of time to rest during a game.

Lakers will have to perform better and consistently, if they want to keep the hopes alive of playing in the playoffs. Otherwise, it is not happening. They cannot just win one and lose one. They will have to win consistently. They have had five wins in the last five games. That is just simply not good enough.

And it's the same with the Bulls as well.

Still, plenty of games, if they can't make it to the top 6, I'm sure they'll make it to the play-in tournament, and when that happened as long as Davis is healthy, I believe the Lakers have a decent chance of getting to the playoffs. Look at the Warriors and Clippers now, they are behind in standing before but they are already now in the top 5 and top 4 respectively, it's because of the close competition in the West.

Yeah, but Davis is still very fragile, there are some scary moments when you see him limping after a rebound. So still very dangerous for Lakers if he will be injured again or later when they are trying to make a playoff/playin position.
Obviously Lebron is not going to slow down, on the contrary you can see that he has someone got his second wind. It's probably he is excited to break the all time record of Jabbar. I think he already carved his name as one of the greatest Lakers if he did that. With Kareem, Shaq, Kobe, Magic and him at that Mt. Rushmore of Lakers great.

For Lakers to succeed, Anthony Davis and LeBron James have to stay healthy. Because right now these two are the biggest contributors to the team. If any of these two somehow get injured, I honestly do not see a way for Lakers to reach the playoffs. They have laid well in the last game. But because of some mistakes, it almost cost them the match. I know LeBron James is going to be named one of the best of all time for the Lakers. But I think he still has a lot to give to the team.

Even the commentators are a bit surprised because Randle took the final shot and didn't take any shot at all which is kind of embarrassing if you are a Knick fan. I mean Brunson can be a better pick than Randle on that game because Randle shot very awful on that game. 6/19 from the field and Coach Thib picked him as the one who will take the final shot?

This is why I'm always thinking, why did the Knicks gave this player a huge contract where in fact, he is only good the season before they gave them a huge contract. He might be averaging at 20's and 10's, but his shooting selection is one of the worst (at least for me). He hold the ball, he will shoot it even though he is having a bad night.

As for the Lakers, they really needed it after what happened to them against the Celtics. Unfortunately, they are still at the bottom spot of the standings (currently at 13th) though they are just 2 games behind the 8th seed Timberwolves. Many are waiting for Lebron to surpass Kareem's scoring record that he held for more than 3 decades. I'm pretty sure it's not only the Laker fans or Lebron fans are waiting for this significant achievement to happen. All NBA fans around the world are waiting for this.

I doubt that's the play written by Coach Thibs. It was a poor execution and a selfish play, it could've been for Brunson but Randle chose to do it himself.
He may had his winning moments but that night was not for him so the better choice was to pass it as quick as he could. Grimes and Quickley are also not shooting well so there's only one left who could make it and it's Brunson but Randle attacked the paint without even looking how free Brunson is, Lakers did well at avoiding him to look outside and not letting him have space to shoot. Good D by Lebron. Predicting Randle will not give it back and chose to double him.

Hard for me to believe that Lakers won in OT last night. Without LeBron and AD , lakers are really a total different team that can't even fight for playoffs but with them in the court , everything changes for Lakers.

Also , with this W from last night , their chances to catch playoffs are once again in their hands but still , if AD or Lebron will miss some games due to injuries , I'm afraid Lakers dream of catching playoffs will be crushed.

They need this win, actually they are leading in the last couple of minutes. But the Knicks were able to make a comeback but unfortunately, Randle didn't became a hero, missed that shot completely and then Lebron working on the OT and not let this game slip away from him.

Even the commentators are a bit surprised because Randle took the final shot and didn't take any shot at all which is kind of embarrassing if you are a Knick fan. I mean Brunson can be a better pick than Randle on that game because Randle shot very awful on that game. 6/19 from the field and Coach Thib picked him as the one who will take the final shot?

This is why I'm always thinking, why did the Knicks gave this player a huge contract where in fact, he is only good the season before they gave them a huge contract. He might be averaging at 20's and 10's, but his shooting selection is one of the worst (at least for me). He hold the ball, he will shoot it even though he is having a bad night.

As for the Lakers, they really needed it after what happened to them against the Celtics. Unfortunately, they are still at the bottom spot of the standings (currently at 13th) though they are just 2 games behind the 8th seed Timberwolves. Many are waiting for Lebron to surpass Kareem's scoring record that he held for more than 3 decades. I'm pretty sure it's not only the Laker fans or Lebron fans are waiting for this significant achievement to happen. All NBA fans around the world are waiting for this.

Crazy ending to that Lakers game. LeBron got another chance to get a game winner but this time he passed the ball to Anthony Davis who then committed an offensive foul which ended up with the game going to overtime. They still won and LeBron moved a little closer to the record. Westbrook seemed to get a lot of crunch time minutes as well.

I watched something that seemed like a long time ago, when the ball was passed to him (Lebron) and then he drove in when he lay up, you can see in the video that he hit his arm in the air and then the referee didn't call a foul, I don't know if this is Also what you are saying, Lebron jumped like he couldn't believe that there was no foul call for what he did.

Lebron is really obviously depressed because of the moment, then when he was interviewed in the news it was like that, and the referee also admitted that he didn't call a foul, that's why even if the referee admitted, the lakers lost in an event like that.
