In case you haven’t heard, LeBron James can score the basketball. The Lakers have finally managed to beat the Portland Trail Blazers, mostly thanks to James’ 44-10-9. If you reverse that stat, you’d basically have a Rajon Rondo triple double. I could totally see Rondo having a 9-10-44 game, but I digress. LeBron James is good at basketball.
Los Angeles Lakers (8-6):
The Lakers still have the same record as the Boston Celtics which adds to me stress at night. LeBron James was a man on a mission last night. We should have expected that since it was a nationally televised game. When the bright lights are on and Seth Curry’s brother isn’t there, I fully expect King James to walk away with a win. Now, don’t get too excited Lakers fans just yet; winter is coming.
Washington Wizards (5-9):
Bradley Beal is the youngest player in NBA history to knock down 900 3’s. This must be furious to John Wall who has vowed to never miss a game due to injury ever again in his efforts to derail his teammates from ‘eating’. The Wizards have won 3 straight. John Wall has to put an end to this and I fully expect him to do so.
Minnesota Timberwolves (6-9):
I do not gamble. I most certainly do not bet on sports. However, even if I was a gambler, I would have never gone near last night’s Timberwolves Pelicans game. There were two scenarios, the Timberwolves could have collapsed without Butler & Rose; or they could try for for the first time this season and get themselves a petty victory. To be honest, we should have all known they’d get the petty victory.
