LeBron drops: 44 points, 10 rebounds, 9 Assists, 13/15 FT’s, 5/6 3PT & 3 blocks.

You could tell from the get go that he just said: ā€œI’m turning it on tonight and there is nothing you can do about it.ā€

Highest score by an individual Lakers player since Kobe’s farewell game.

Melo confirmed leaving rockets.

He has to play with that intent for the Lakers to do anything this year. His shot won’t always fall like it did last night from deep, but he was dominant, did everything. Scored, facilitated, he even played defense!

Melo and Houston was always going to be a bad mix. I blame the Rockets more than Melo because they should’ve know what they were getting. Melo has failed to adapt his game and also not taken care of his body. That’s on him. But last year at OKC should’ve been a fair indication of what would transpire…

Murray almost scores 50 the other day and today he comes off the bench.

When he’s on he’s basically unstoppable to the point you feel bad for the 2/3 players trying to defend him

Plus those downtown 3’s were just plain nasty

So good to watch though

Chemistry will take a while with the Sixers but good signs with Butler in both games

Yep

Comment above that Simmons will need to be more assertive scoring now. I would’ve thought the opposite. Embiid and Butler are the go to scorers, leaving Ben free to concentrate on what he does well.

(Still needs to learn to shoot… but maybe he’s only ever going to be a 15ppg guy, and that’s OK)

I thought the Butler trade would be a bust, but geez it actually might just work.

Mind tricks

All I read is semi and rise up

No.

How many clubs have to fail in Melbourne before they realise it won’t work

That’s not entirely true, the Magic did well for quite a while, just bad management that cost them in the end,
. It’s stupid that Queensland can have 2 teams but Victoria can’t

Magic was in a good era of the NBL.
Tigers, Magic, Giants was fantastic
But since then the Giants, Tigers, Magic, Titans, Dragons have all failed or merged

They’ve picked the right area to be based if it was to succeed though. Knox area has always been a basketball hub.
