The Closer vs. Phenom. The telling of the tape presents:</p>
<p dir="ltr">Brook Lopez vs<b>.</b><b> </b>Aron <u>Baynes</u> = Bucks</p>
<p dir="ltr">Al Horford vs. Giannis <u>Antetokounmpo</u> = Bucks</p>
<p dir="ltr">Kris Middleton vs. Jason Tatum<b> </b>= same </p>
<p dir="ltr">Sterling Brown vs. Jaylen Brown = Boston </p>
<p dir="ltr">Eric Bledsoe vs. Kyrie Irving = Boston </p>
<p dir="ltr">Coaching = Bucks <br>
Budenholzer been here before with less talent (The Atlanta Hawks 2016) Boston might have a problem on their hands. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Bench=Boston <br>
Some guys on Boston Bench would be starters on other teams.  However, both teams are missing keys players Brodgan for the Bucks and Smart for Celtics.  </p>
<p dir="ltr">Close edge, Boston in 7 </p>

That did it for me, "Oh got dammit pass the ball, set up a play do anything, but shoot ". Westbrook think he playing one on one out there. I'm trying to hold back my emotions for Mr. Triple double, but its not winning basketball. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Finally have to admit it, Westbrook maybe not a number one player on a championship team. His talents are infamous, but his strength might be his weakness. Westbrook needs to relied on his teammates more and spend his energy on defensive side of the ball. Cause Damien Lillard is laying the smack down on his candy.</p>

Doomsday is upon us! Might not get out of the 1st round, what are we going to do? </p>
<p dir="ltr">The answer is to quit! Boogie out for the season and now the NBA will finally be a competitive league. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Oh, I guess I'm just dreaming again, the WARRIORS still have Steph, KD, Klay, Draymond and Andre. Yeah we good..</p>

However,  Ben Simmons of 76ers is above being booed. I'm sure the reason is not his absence of a jumpshot, but absence of the team not staying in front of there man. Playoffs is about man to man, not zones. D-Russ was coming off the pick shooting and no one could stop it. The 76ers will learn from there mistakes by reacting from those boos birds flying and taking a dump on the team. Their a cause and effect to everything, like playing no defense will get you bump in the 1st round. That why the fans boo and have every right to. </p>

<p dir="ltr">Really hate this matchup both play hard, but Boston is fill with talent. They might lose game 1, but not the series.

<p dir="ltr">The Pacers are well coached, methodical positive team. However, basketball is about wills and who can push there will further. This time Boston is a little too hard.</p>

But, when he decided to be everything than he is not challenging his guys to be better. Teammates probably thinking (Oh, Russ got it) and Russ don't always have it. Leadership is not always just setting a example, its sometimes teaching others there role. If Russ can do that it will make his job that much easier. Also, easier to win a ring. </p>

Whoa, is this happening one of the best to ever play the game quitting. No, Magic couldn't get his way so is bowing out. Rob Pelinka,  Jeanie Buss and the Best PG ever  couldn't see eye to eye.  From my understanding Rob wanted more input on team decisions and Magic wanted him gone or a fresh start from the top down.  Just another power struggle, but Magic wanted to take the attention from the big changes that the Lakers have to <u>make</u> during the draft and off season. </p>

Now he had good reasons to put up those numbers. In tribute to an reformed gangster that was violently killed, WB had a Babe Ruth moment. Westbrook invision he will get a 20/20/20 game. How sick is that, but here the real. During the game while the  Lakers were trying to win the game WB was on the bench and Thunder lead was disappearing timeout was called. I'm thinking that coach Donovan going to teach the young guys how to handle this situation if it ever come up in the playoffs. Oh, I was so wrong, brought back in WB. I'm feeling; why he have his triple double this is time for rest for the older players and build resolve for the younger guys. Then I realized nothing has changed, it's still Westbrook team and he wants to show stats, not rings. Kobe never received a Pippen and Paul George is way better offensively, so how is WB is still taking more shots than everyone else on the <u>team</u>. <br>

<p dir="ltr">Soon, I'm bringing a podcast on YouTube and Public Access Television. Believe it, forward and upward.  Nothing off limits, All NBA, all the time. NBA top trivia also coming soon. Watch out, I'm coming. </p>

So much have pass and I need to get this off my chest. My thoughts on Grape Pubron James trying to recruit Carmelo Anthony to Miami is pathetic. Carmelo is about his paper and his legacy in New York would be legendary if he stay and win one. That championship be better than all Miami's chips put together. Everyone knows how long NY been without a ring and I hope NY change that trend. But, that curse of trading Walt Clyde Frazier may never end.
I teach cause so many reach and its time for me to blow your mine one more time with some predictions. MELO staying cause you know he about his paper. Kevin Love not going anywhere until the trading deadline, the T- wolves never handled stars well. Isaiah Rider, Christian Laether, Kevin Garnett and Wesley Johnson all top ten draft picks who either didn't stick around or became better when they left the Wolves.
Kevin is a interesting character he's in more commercials than Tim Duncan,Paul George and Stephen Curry combine, but he needs more respect. Ricky Rubio say he not a good leader,well
Kevin Love leads the team in almost every category,but he find a way to alienate his teammates. That's a quarry maybe Rubio said this about Love so no one would trade for him. A good way to keep your teammate home. Let's be real nobody in life want to play in Minnesota and with Love wanting to leave so does your chance of signing someone to come there.

In my opinion definitely top five or ten matters who you ask. But, no question he destroys whoever he is in front of nightly, cause he don't show up for afternoon games. But, I digress Phil Jackson is right and wrong about Melo taking less ,it would add a max player to the team. Melo is definitely a number one, but without being a player who knows who to pass the ball to before receiving it - is wishing for rings not wearing them.

Brooklyn have starters and a bench, nobody wants to see them in the playoffs. Once chemistry builds its going to tough to stop<br>
any one person on the team. My worries might be <b>unselfishness</b> in the beginning,but that will take time. </p>
<p> Teams are afraid and abash that they didn't take the same risk<br>
Brooklyn took. At any rate, many teams are waiting for 2014 to take a shot at the KING and MELO. Can be the KING and MELO show for a number of teams, who didn't sign anyone this summer. Everyone knows the Lakers and Cleveland, some other teams are the Bulls,Pacers who many players coming off the books in 2014.Philly who have no chance and stated that they are looking to 2014 draft. </p>
<p> Next time, I will give my top ten players by position. If you disagree comment I love the hate, it what sustain me. <br>

I'm a fan of basketball not players,but game recognize game and Melo looks familiar. I need comments on this. If you let the media feed you who is good and who is not then be a puppet. If you a have throughts comment..</p>

Next Reed stop on a door and hit the jumpshot, she played hard scored often. Reed slow me something that I don't see anymore and that's passion, an ability to show your desire. Reed made me believe anything is possible on the floor. If you want to be inspired go watch her and her team at the women West 4th tournament on the corner of Houston and 6th ave. P.S. bring a sit if you don't like standing.</p>

enough? MWP is the 8 wonder of the world and should not be understood
,he brings many good and bad aspects to the game. He never quits
On himself or his teammates, but he lost some speed and can't guard
Smaller players. Not sure if he wants to guard bigger players he was
Really taking one for the team last year. At any rate he a good
Addition to any bench he wants to come off the bench.
Amare,Amare,Amare what are you going to do with this team,probably
Leave the team.Amare Stoudemire is a starter not playing starter minutes and
His body is betraying him. If Melo wasn't on the team Stoud would not be
The problem. I want to see Stoud and Melo play together in all truth
One can't win without the other.

You went from
A playoff team to a team that haven't seen the playoffs in five years
Whatever you take you should sell it in cans, cause that will be
More successful than the pistons. Man, I feel bad about writing that
I don't know the man from a hole in the wall. But what in the life
Of the don't do its was he thinking? The Pistons have talent, however
No one like each other and it shows. No chemistry on either side
Of the court.
The preview posting 2013-2014 season I usually save my opinion
For the beginning of the season, at any rate josh is in the terror
Dome. I wish the best for detroit,because that city need some goods

To help your teams get better and become profitable. It's not your fault if some players
are only there for a check. I wish all NBA teams well.
Now Lakers plan B is to go after @Aljefferson, definitely a better a offensive than
Dhow. But, defensively give up some opennings on defense. Al is slow of foot and
Don't run the floor well but, plays to win. So he is a good plan b. Now,
I don't know if houston is a powerhouse because, there 5 and 4
Spot can't shoot more than 50% from the free throw line. Most likely DHOW
Will start and Asik will come off the bench. Shades of chicago.
For, DHOW an another bad decision. The offense the @rockets have now look very
Similar to Orlando Magic offense during DHOW reign. Parsons=Turkaloo
Harden=Jrich or VinCarter,Asik=Brandon Bass or big baby and JLin=JNelson.
What a big diffence, lets see something change. DHOW is going to turn
Harden into a straight up jumpshooter. But, I wish Houston the best.
Hope for a good season.

This is for the future of the lakers and the hopes that @kobebryant
Find his @scottiepippen. Someone who can guard the best player on the
Other team and create shots for himself and for others.That why pippen
Was so valuable for a team he did all the dirty work. That why @lebronjames
Will be leaving miami cause @dwaynewade won't be able to the dirty work anymore
Back to the lakers rudy gay never been a great defender but,its
Kobe time to teach he skills to someone else. Kobe should of taught
@trevoravira but, that's another story.

moving a rising star in jrue. I thought they were one piece away.
Bynum was going to be there savior,make me wonder if Lakers planed
this all along in the scenario that Dhow didn't they would go back to
Bynum because who wants him now. Back to the 76ers free up dollars
For a big move let's say Cp3 or Dhow or another losing season.
76ers of moved anyone but not there point. Old saying start a team
With a good point then a,what was the first thing.
Blockbuster deal of the century,apace to the upper elite of the
League. Maybe or maybe not, not sure myself 5 years ago oh hell
Yeah could you say ring. But the cold reality is KG heart is with
Cgreen and Paul Piecre should have never been traded. Paul should
Not be compare with other players in this trade or in the league
His opportunity to become #1 in points have been taken from him.
Pierce suppose be to old reliable that hook that can get all the
Fish. Plus hit clutch shots, come on all you need was Rondo back
Or the stake was too high to pay for 2 hall of famers.A renew
Jeff Green healthy Rondo who knows one win away from the finals in
2012. But can't live in the past, but only the future,hello
Future is anybody there,no one home I guess I go to brooklyn. Nbaing and lyfehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07206268367426470619noreply@blogger.com0
