Kuzma is so damn good!! Steal of the draft. First Lakers rookie to score 25+ for 3 games in a row since Jerry West. Build around Ball, Ingram and Kuzma and good things will happen!

Add a proper big man like Boogie and a better power forward than Randle , like an Anthony Davis , and this team will be flying. |

to be able to play infront of those fans,with that kind of atmosphere would be such an unbelievable moment and honour.
did some research on the lyrics of that opening song...better not translate it here,its brutal😆
however,lakers vs clippers about to start. almost 5 in the morning here,will probably fall asleep early on but come on lakers!

Why I love college ball..talent is freekin incredible, huge venues and the college kids are great fans. Schools sell out 15K seat areas every game for years and it is competitive and the kids don't take breaks from long season..NBA I love the play offs, but gimme Big 12 or ACC or Big East, there is where you get some serious fans  an there are always ton of games on to flip through.. like football, I am in awe of the players who play at highest levels of Uni and then pros. Hell, high school kids coming out an kicking ass.. You would love going out to west coast and watching the summer leagues, you'll see kids stuffing NBA players. None of them have the off the court temperament to play pro ball, NBA has IMAGE  to maintain I live about hour drive from Ames, Iowa, Iowa State Cyclones, get to go to couple games every year, been rabid fan since go back from overseas in 84. "Hilton Magic" FTW like going to a great rock concert, and State always takes down top 5 teams in Hilton |

warriors beat the rockets away without durant, although houston was without harden.
clippers-warriors just started. nothing significant happened as its still 1st quarter but golden state is playing some breathtaking basketball at times.
still hard to see anyone beating them this season but a lot of teams getting really close.
cavs should have the team and depth to compete with them in a final. houston certainly a contender if both harden and paul stay fit. celtics...still think the cavs are stronger if it counts but they are good. i'd like to see oklahoma show some real intent and make at least the conference finals. i always liked the raptors but they stand no chance against a top team from the west if they would somehow make it to the finals.
long story short,its good to see more really strong teams this season.but golden state is still the non plus ultra.
meanwhile curry is running riot against the clippers. 17points,still 1st quarter...

Love watching NBA for the quality of the play, but sometimes just feels like regular season predictable. Looking forward to playoffs, though do expect
Warriors to run amok. Sure play some pretty ball though when they are really on it.
Really looking forward to March Madness. Great players. Really makes you realize just how good the NBA is and how difficult it is for a player to break
into that league with real impact.
Remember Boston an LA, Magic Johnson played the greatest overall game of basketball I have ever seen, or expect to see.
Those two clubs/Players surely put on shows and then luckily Bulls came along.

aye,the quality of play in the nba is just unbelievable.
the way some of the big men play nowadays is also amazing,all players are having so much more skills now.
there are times when i watch way more basketball than football (apart from united obviously),its such a spectacular and fast sport.just beautiful to watch

I actually learned how to watch football, and appreciate what was happening by watching college an NBA basketball. For me, both games happen off the floor, especially at highest level. Very few players can really just take a game by themselves. LOL I remember Larry Bird being asked by announcer about Jordan, who got 63 on Boston as a Rookie. Bird said "Jordan is God" I Still pmsl thinking about it. I actually liked the game better then. League pushes parity, but for me, the Magic an Bird era brought the game in and then Chicago, I just have not enjoyed it nearly as much. Still love College ball, like having Big 12 School 45 mins and Big 10 School bout hour an half away. (Little brothers are alums at Iowa, I have friends at Iowa State to get me ticks to good games) Iowa State vs Kansas in Hilton is better than bout anything except floor front at Pink Floyd concert |

I have never really favored a team one way or the other, did love the Celtics and the way they played. All us slow old lads that can't run an jump tend to like the Celts don't we It is the one game I love to play an the one I get seriously whipped playing. LOL we played in Navy, got to tourney an played army team. Our base, we had 12 people come to play, those guys did reverse dunks in warm ups to a man. Was the worst ass whipping I've ever been a participant in. Ronnie Hightower, who went to Gerogetown an played for John Thompson played for that team, gave me a facial that knocked me on my ass. |
