tHoop's DJ was born on, not this date, but 11-7-1971 and I'm happy to say I'm still accepting birthday presents.....

Special shoutout to @femurov for last year's hoop cash present and @wlk3 this year for the over 5k Hoop cash....

The Lakers are now leading. 19-14, after Hart scores again.....this time on a layup.....

 

[DJ]

Gonna watch the 2nd half of SNF and I'll return for the home stretch....

 

[Retroram52]

Hawks aren't playing particularly well but neither are the Lakers. Why we are letting a 3-9 team hang around is puzzling.

 

[Retroram52]

Tie ballgame with 1:20 left ot play in the half.

 

[Retroram52]

Kuzma is keeping us in this game.

 

[Retroram52]

The Lakers rank 24th in the NBA in turnovers per game, which isn’t all that surprising given their mix of new players.

 

[Retroram52]

We are down by a point at the half.

 

[Retroram52]

I have been saying for sometime that Anthony's career is done. Houston appears to be speeding the process along.

Report: Carmelo Anthony's time in Houston ending soon

The Lakers leading, 79-67....

Hopefully, he retires but he may go to China like Marbury did.

 

[Retroram52]

We are def pulling away from these birds.

 

[Retroram52]

Chandler is in. We have our enforcer in the middle. The three by Bazemore cut the lead to 10.

 

[Retroram52]

Kuzma and James are the only two Lakers in double figures. We need more form others especially tonight.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers running actions where Lonzo screens on ball for LeBron opens up those opportunities for Lonzo to get into shooting ops.

 

[Retroram52]

End of the third and the Hawks have cut the lead to 9. We need a big fourth from some players that are riding the pines. Lets get some shooters into the game like Mykhailiuk or whatever.

 

[Retroram52]

Hawks go back to their simple high Pick and Roll with a down screen on the weak side. They love that play, as simple as it is.

 

[Retroram52]

Lance Stephonson answers a Hawks three with one of his own. Keeping the lead up.

 

[Retroram52]

Suddenly the Hawks are raining threes. We need some perimeter D.
