Jan. 15: Bones Like Stones
Hit the Lakers on a Saturday night that left Los Angeles looking at two sub-.500 franchises. We did it!
Someone named BONES gave it to LeBron & Co. yesterday. Can’t get much better than that if you ask me. And it wasn’t just a tight win or whatever, far from it. The Nuggets absolutely painted the Lakers faces getting a ridiculous 37-point W that had no story to it from the get-go. Rookie Bones Hyland dumped a team-high 27 on the Lake Show… but Uncle Jeff cooked himself 26 more chicken wings on the day. I mean, the hell is wrong with LA?
Of course, Jokic with the triple-double in 28 minutes of playing time. Twenty-eight-minutes-of-playing-time, that’s correct. I have not checked the numbers but I can virtually CONFIRM Nikola is MOS DEF the most efficient triple-double in the history of the Association. No Joke nor pun intended. It’s been 65 trip-dubs for him career-wise, and he’s got 10 of them in 30 or fewer minutes out there while racking up 39 (yes, more than half) playing no more than 35 minutes. Jesus Christ.
Here is a very SERIOUS proposal I am giving L.A. BRASS for free: trade LeBron James, or at least TRY. Find someone desperate enough to entertain conversations. Sell them on James’ greatness from his glory days. Trade. LeBron. James. Land young bloods. Bring back AD and dangle him too just in case. Hand the reins to Russ. Let Westbrook lead the squad. Make the postseason. Go in a deep run. Win the Larry O’B. It’s simple. Dunno what yall doing out there, mates.
- The Nets had a very WONDERFUL Harden doing Harden things (namely putting up a silly 27–8–15–1–1 shooting 60%) but they also had a very unlucky Durant getting knocked in the knee on a reckless play on Pels’ offense. Sucked to watch him leave. Sucked even more to watch him NOT coming back. Waiting for that MRI to come back negative like 😬
- Speaking of negative MRIs, Zach LaVine dodged a bullet.
- Anfernee Simons (31 pops with seven treys), once more, letting the PDX know what the proper road ahead is: move on from Dame and CJ. Trade both of them, and Nurk. Build around Penny. Start all over from square one. Tuff, but smartest decision. Cold world. Do better. Love each other.
- Omer Yurtseven joining Niko’s Nightclub with a dub-dub in just 24 minutes? Me likes! Bam is coming back as soon as tomorrow so we’ll see how Miami and Coach Spo deal with the rotation. On Yurtseven’s vein: Robert Williams The Third with a tasty 14–13–6 and a couple of swats, only he needed as many as 35 rounds of the clock to arrive at that.
- The C’s won one, by the way, thanks to a disastrous final stretch by the NO. 1 TEAM IN THE EAST YOUR 90’s GREAT CHICAGO BULLS. Something is wrong when Tatum drops a double-double on you with a putrid 33% from the field and 4 turnovers. Check your systems, Chi Chi.
- MY LIFE FOR Darius and Lauri. Point to wing, hit the three, celebrate, celebrate, CELEBRATE. Career-high 18 dimes for Garland, too, which one can’t hate. Imagine the greatness of the 2023 CAVS when Sexton gets traded away and they rip off someone on a bulky return of players/picks/whatnot.
- Brother Luka got BIG MAD at yesterday’s BOOTLEG.
- The Knicks beat the ATL without Cam Reddish dressing. Would have been sweet to see the same outcome with CR hitting some buckets, but alas.
- Suggs is back in Orlando > Orlando is back to losing > Everything seems to be alright in this SADDENED WORLD.
- Remember the last time Giannis went 17+ times to the charity stripe and HIT EXACTLY 17 FREEBIES? IT HAPPENED YESTERDAY TOO. CHIP SEALED AND DELIVERED and we’re not even past mid-January. Ooffffff…
