    Watched a lot of Lakers this year because how often is the GOAT your local team? Watched more games than since the last Sonic run with Gary and Shawn.

    Decided Friday to watch my other local team the Clippers. According to the announcers they played their best game of the season. Crushed Denver. Really good team and better than the Lakers until they aren't

    Denver is a pretender like most of the West.

    Then @dnc 's Vancouver Grizz boatraced my Lakers. Ja Morant is the real deal.

    Lastly I checked out Micro Ball. I don't believe in the Celtics or their college coach but the Rockets were impressive with a road win.

    Close it our tonight with the fun to watch Pelicans against my Lakers.


    The playoffs are still the Lakers and the Clippers deciding who plays the Bucks. Micro Ball on the outside looking in

    The NBA is good these days. The Combine probably gets better ratings

    Rockets will beat a LA team this year and not win the West. You heard it here first. I’m gonna choose the Clippers.

    Doc Rivers has always been a mediocre coach and their team is secretly worse than Kawaii’s Raptors were last year. Siakam is better (at least a push) than George. Lowry and Van Vleet are better than Lou Will, Beverly, and Shamat. Harrell is good, but I would rather have Ibaka and Gasol.

    Opening the court for Westbrook should have been done by a team 5 years ago. His centers have always bogged him down. He’s been a top 3 player the past month and has steadily improved on the Rockets. He’s been killing. Shot selection and FG% are way better. He should quit shooting threes and can now that there is no center.

    Everything the Rockets have done is smart. Harden is a lazy defender but really good in the post. Westbrook’s defensive rebounding masks the rebounding issues.

    I hate D’Antoni but this is their best team, rather easily. They aren’t as dependent on Harden to score 40 because Westbrook can do it if Harden is off.

    Zion is the real deal if he stays healthy which I still think is a big if. Good ballgame last night

    He needs to lose 20 lbs, otherwise agree.

    That would help him stay healthy

    19 year olds only get fatter and heavier as life goes on

    He's a freak but its hard to see him 17 years from now still being MVP like LeBron

    I can see Zion having a shorter prime, but he’s a top 10 player as soon as next year. He’s basically unstoppable.

    There's some precedent.
