Already? My word.

Well, the writing has been on the wall so to speak regarding Ben Simmons with the 76ers. In better news, what a comeback victory by Charlotte over Indiana! 123-122 is the final score of that game. In a shocking gane thus far I think, Minnesota leads Houston currently by a score of 99-70 with less than 60 seconds on the game clock in the 3rd quarter. That game is in Minneapolis, but still inexcusable to be trailing by thay much in a opening season game by any N.B.A. team I think.

My goodness.

The final score of that game is 124-106 with Minnesota getting the win. Yeah, plenty of blowouts yesterday. Sacramento & Portland had a close game with the Kings winning it. Marvin Bagley did not play & his agents wants him traded from Sacramento. Today's games are Dallas vs. Atlanta, Milwaukee vs. Miami, & the L.A. Clippers vs. Golden St.

the L.A. Clippers vs. Golden St.- game of the night last night

[canflam]

Yes. Montell Jordan sang "This is How We Do It" at the Jazz/Kings game in Sacramento today. Old School from back when I was a child. That's 1 of the things that can be nice about N.B.A. League Pass. Though they don't air the halftime shows that local games from cities would air, they do show what's happening in arenas & it can be singers or rappers. Lupe Fiasco I saw was at the Wizards/Raptors game on Wednedsay singing during halftime.

Some scores today are 134-135 Washintom wins over Indiana in O.T., Brooklyn wins vs. Philadelphia 114-109, Toronto won vs. Boston 115-83, Phoenix leads the L.A. Lakers 72-59 in the 3rd quarter, & Sacramento leads Utah 69-62 currently in the 3rd as well. Joe Ingles was ejected from that game due to a "flagrant 2" called on him.

soem crazy games on Friday night for sure!

[canflam]

Yeah. Tough loss for Sacramento yesterday. I recorded some games from earlier & have been watching the Pistons/Bulls 1 & Detroit just struggles on offence. It's brutal. They don't have Cade Cunningham available, but still should be better than trailing by more than 30 points to Chicago. Disappointing loss by Toronto to Dallas earlier. Their 3 point shooting needs to get going. Portland somehow won vs. Phoenix 134-105. I'm going to try to a replay of that game. I missed it. Curious to see Charlotte play Brooklyn tomorrow/Sunday.

Will be shocked if he's still there by mid season

[canflam]

I would not be shocked if he is not traded by then. Which N.B.A. team do you think would risk trading for Ben Simmons before February's N.B.A. trade deadline? He won't be traded until December 15th at least. Great win by Charlotte over the Nets earlier.

[stlavin95]

Not sure, maybe the Nets?

[canflam]

I doubt it it. It's possible though. Well, I'll start posting more in here soon. I had not noticed that it's been a month since I posted in here. Here's some things that's happened in the N.B.A. this month: Luke Walton was fired by the Sacramento Kings. Sacramento won vs. the Lakers by the way after 3 overtime periods on Friday. Phoenix is currently on a 16 game winning streak. The Houston Rockets ended a 15 game losing streak by winning vs. Chicago on Wednesday. They also won in overtime yesterday vs. Charlotte by a score of 146-143.

Collin Sexton will miss the remainder of this season after undergoing surgery on a meniscus.

Zion Williamson has been cleared to fully practice on Friday. Also, Goran Dragic is taking a leave of absence from the Raptors.

[NikNak]

Thanks for the news.

[canflam]

You're welcome. Portland is hit with more injuries. Lillard is out & Simons went to the locker room wiry an apparent injury in the 2nd quarter. They currently trail San Antonio by 21 points. By the way Memphis won by 73 points today vs. the Oklahoma City Thunder. The final score of that game is 152 to 79. That is not a typo. I'm not a fan of the Thunder, but damm, put up an effort.
