Mo Wagner put up 30 points tonight for the Wizards in only 25 minutes. There have been more 30 point performances by white NBA players then I can ever remember.

Whats even more impressive is that Wagner had 30 pts and 15 rebounds off the bench. Those are all star stats. This kid needs to start without a doubt! :)

The Wizards defeated Minnesota in Mo's big game. I want to recap some athletic role players that were discussed here last season. Just an early season update. Overall not good.

Pat Connaughton- Bucks-so far not so good. Barely playing. Very disappointing. This incredible athlete with super hops continues to get shafted over. The team is completely focused on the Greek Freak. Ironically PC is losing time to Donte D who is the same size.

Grayson Allen- Grizzlies--currently injured he has been in the shadows all season.

Mario Hezonja--Trailblazers--has been starting at times and pulling in rebounds for his new team but his shooting has been woeful. This is a standard NBA team with two ultra ball hogs in McCollum and Lilliard so part of his poor shooting could be the result of lack of flow. Losing C Zach Collins was also a blow. I suspect Mario will be seeing more bench time at this rate. Very disappointing given that he showed some big flash at times last season.

Jake Layman-Timberwolves--new team for Jake and despite an off night last night he has been playing well as the sixth man. Not the type of team I envision when it comes to a white player thriving but so far the results have been encouraging. Had a clean 16 in a win the other night.

Alex Caruso-Lakers-hard to believe but Alex averaged 9.2 points last season to go with 3.1 assists. But the Lakers were an afterthought last year. This year with Anthony Davis ( and big head LeBron) they are winning again and Alex is getting very solid minutes off the bench. Last night he was over 20 minutes. In fact he is seen as their spark PG off the bench and now that they are winning Caruso will become more known.

So a mixed bag so far for the players above. All very athletic.

One note, Hawks swing man Kevin Huerter is out at least two weeks with a shoulder injury. Off to a slow start due to lack of playing time hopefully Kevin gets going when he returns.

Thanks for the vid White Lightning. That was very impressive. Looks like a younger version of Kevin Love out there!

Another game and another record by Doncic. He became only the 2nd player in NBA History to have a 40 pts or more triple double before turning 21 years of age. Lebron is the other player.

Luka Doncia had 42 pts, 11 rebounds and 12 assists! Can you say Luka Magic? :)

Guys we are seeing quite possibly the greatest basketball player to ever play the game. Yes he is only in his 2nd year but no one has ever done what he is doing at that age night after night. He
already has 6 triple doubles this year alone! He is the front runner for NBA MVP so far. Doncic is the only player in the NBA currently in the top 10 in scoring, assists & rebounding! Epic!

Great to see Luka dominating!

I've noticed Luke Kennard is finally coming into his own! Averaging 17.8ppg and nearly 4rpg and 4apg.

Lately Donte D has been starting due to an injury to Middleton. He has responded with back to back 14 point gakes, along with 4boards.

Pat Connaughton however continues to struggle, can't score early on.

Doncic with 33 pts in the first half against the Warriors. Wow and it's on national tv(espn). What a epic performance. They are up by well over 30 pts
so I doubt he will play much in the 2nd half. He should though. Why do guys like Kobe, Lebron, Jordan, Harden, etc play even if they are going for
50 or more points? They play because their enormous egos demand it. I hope Doncic plays alot and goes for at least 50 pts. I don't care what the
score is. Do what all the other all time great do. Doncic is coming off a career hight of 42 points in the last game. Hope he breaks it tonight and I would would
personally love to see him get 60. I doubt he will though as they will pull him. Guarantee it! I hope I'm wrong.

The NBA TV ratings are continuing to tank this season, following a trend going back several years:

https://dailycaller.com/2019/11/19/nba-tv-ratings-espn-tnt-down/

On the one hand, good riddance. Led by the cuck commissioner Adam Silver and the despicable woke Warriors and LeBron James who have been the face of the league for sometime now, I couldn’t care less, and apparently neither do others. I haven’t watched a full game start to finish in probably 10-15 years. My interest has been entirely to how white players are doing. I check the box scores, and if someone had a good game, I watch the highlights on YouTube.

The unfortunate part is that this season, somewhat unexpectedly, there has been an explosion of white talent across the board, led by all-world Luka Doncic. People are missing out on some stellar play we haven’t seen on a long time by white players. I’m a bit torn here, I want the overall NBA establishment to suffer, but for white players to get their recognition. It’s extra special to watch GS and their odious coach Steve Kerr turn into a complete joke.

Another stud to keep an eye out for is Bogdan Bogdanovic, he went off for a career high 31 last night:


This guy is a scoring machine, perfect shooting form, can easily average 25ppg or more. I like his confidence and swagger. He’s the best player on the Kings. The problem is he’s stuck there with a bunch of less talented ball hogs which doesn’t give him enough touches/minutes to realize his full potential. He should leave the Kings after this year and go to a team where he can be clear #1/2 option.

To the Kings credit, they did offer Bogdonavic a 4 year extension. The guy is just tired of losing and being underappreciated. Hope he ends up somewhere where he can blossom into the star that we all know he can be. I agree he has all the skill & talent to take his game to the next level.

Sabonis for Indiana is also amazing. Averaging almost 19 pts and just about 14 rebounds per night for the Pacers. The Pacer also have TJ Leaf, Doug McDermott & Tj Mcconell. The Pacers are a team
to watch too. Give the nba a little credit. Yes most of the teams are still like the nfl but we have more teams to root for than we do in the nfl. Making some progress.

A guy like Luka Doncic can change everything! I will be watching alot of nba this season.

Some good news tonight from The Milwaukee Bucks! 2nd year SG Donte DiVencenzo has responded like a true Veteran with increased playing time as a starter in Middleton's absence due to an injury. He chipped in 16pts and also hauled in 6 rebounds. His 4th game in a row scoring 10+. Also Pat Connaughton responded with 18pts off the bench on a very efficient 7-10 shooting against his old team in Portland! Good to see that burst from him, he needed a kick in the butt to snap out of his slump and I think this was it.

Doncic would have had another triple double but was benched before the 3rd quarter was over. Just like in the last game the Mavs are winning by 30 to 40 pts
and they don't want to risk losing their franchise player. Just sucks as he only needed 3 more rebounds. The blowouts are hurting his stats a little but I'm just glad
they keep winning and winning easy. Doncic had 30 pts, 14 assists & 7 rebounds. Luka Doncic is now averaging 30 pts per game and is 4th in the nba in scoring.
Porzingis added 18 pts before he was taken out of the game early. Dallas will play Houston on Sunday and this could be one of the best games of the year. Let's go Mavs!

I don't pay much attention to basketball but I just wanted to mention the mysterious disappearance of all the so-called "true"/"die-hard" Golden State Warriors DWFs amongst the general public now that the Warriors suck (3-14 and worst record in the league right now). I used to see Golden State T-shirts/sweatshirts/caps/flags/stickers/etc. everywhere. Now they're nowhere to be seen. Those "fans" truly have taken bandwagoning to the next level. People should remind them of their former fandom, rub it in their faces, and tell them to own the worship of the incompetent, ultra-chocolate team they're now stuck with.

Some try to relegate what Doncic is doing based on "increased pace," and say that LeBron James's numbers were actually better because the league played at a slower pace when he entered the league, but the MPG between the two (LeBron James averaged 8 more minutes per game than does Luka now) leaves their argument dead in the water and that's before you bring up per 100. Luka per 100 possessions so far this year: 42.5 pts, 14.8 rebounds, 13.8 assists, 1.9 steals on 49.3% FG percentage. Second year LeBron: 34.3 pts, 9.3 rebounds, 9.1 assists, 2.8 steals on 47.2% FG percentage. Luka's killing third year Bron Bron on per 100 too: 39.4 pts, 8.8 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 2.0 steals on 48% FG percentage, in fact his per 100 numbers so far this year are better than LeBron's at any point in his career. Luka's per 100 ORtg (123) essentially matches Michael Jordan's best years (125, 124, and 3x 123).

Doncic is straight up dominating on the offensive end and it has nothing to do with increased pace across the league, especially because he forces his opponents to play at his own slower pace and tempo.

Luka "Magic" again. He beats the Houston Rockets in their house in a battle of the top 2 guys in the NBA MVP Race even though it's very early in the season.

Luka Doncic had 41 pts, 6 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals and 1 block! :)

Kristaff Porzingis had 23 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block!

Huge win for the Mavs as they did not back down from Harden or Westbrook. They showed alot of swagger tonight and proved they have arrived as a legitimate playoff team.
Doncic continues to be the talk of the NBA and he outplayed Harden who won the mvp 2 years ago and also finished 2nd in the mvp voting last year. This shows that Luka can
play with and against anyone. Remember that Doncic also had a triple double against the Lebron earlier this year. He has arrived and have taken the nba by brute force. As exciting
as McCaffrey is to watch in the nfl, Doncic is every bit as fun to watch in the nba. Historic performances that we are witnessing gentlemen!

I wonder how the NBA is going to deal with its Luka problem. (((Adam Silver))) and the (((masters))) he serves have to be very unhappy and nervous that a blond-haired, blue-eyed white kid from Europe is about to be the face of the league for the next 15 years. The odious LeBron is on his last legs and there is no one else with any sort of star power to take the baton, it’s all about Luka.

They have allowed folks like Dirk, Gasol, Ginobili, etc to prosper over the past 20 years because while great, HOF level players, they were never in any danger of upsetting the status quo. This is different. Luka is taking over the league. They didn’t see it coming and now they have to deal with it.

On a separate note, I keep hearing Kevin Love’s name pop up as a potential trade to Dallas which would truly elevate them to title contenders. If that happens, I will do the unthinkable and buy some sort of an NBA pass to watch all the Mavericks games.
