LeBron James and the Lakers are heading to the playoffs!

Published

LeBron James, since coming here last year, has finally led the Lakers to the postseason. The Lakers have not been in the postseason since 2012-2013, they clinched a playoff berth when they beat the Bucks 113-103 on Friday night.

“I came here to put this team and put this franchise back where they needed to be,” said James. “The league is not what it is if the Lakers are not winning. And that was one of my responsibilities, one of my goals when I came here.

Though the Bucks had Giannis Antetokounmpo who was scoring well, if he didn’t hurt his knee they might have been able to get the win but LeBron and the Lakers were doing all the right things to get the job done.

And let’s be honest we all knew they were going to avenge themselves from losing to the Bucks on December 19th before Christmas, the final score was 111-104 Bucks, now since they are in the playoffs they should be soaring high with LeBron and Davis.

“We know how well they’ve been playing as of late,” James said. “They’re at full strength. We’re at full strength. And we look forward to the challenge to see how we can match up with them again. So, you know, the first game, we kind of threw that game out the window. It’s the first game of the season. Who were we? Who were they? They had way more returning guys than we did [at that point]. We were still trying to figure out ourselves.

“And then the Christmas Day game, we didn’t play to our capabilities. We played great in the first half and then the second half we let it kind of get away from us. So we just look forward to see if we can continue to play good basketball, no matter win, lose or draw.”

Pau Gasol is done with NBA and returning to Spain!

Pau Gasol is done with NBA and returning to Spain! Before we jump into this topic, let’s here from him in a statement:

“I’m happy to return to the club where I began, and I’m excited about this new opportunity: I hope to contribute to the first team very soon. I want to thank Barça and its technical staff for making it possible to join them.”

Originally tweeted by Pau Gasol (@paugasol) on February 23, 2021.

What’s happening with Gasol?

The 40-year-old is signing back with Spain’s team, Barcelona. Barcelona was his original team before going to the NBA and winning The Rookie of The Year Award when he was with Memphis.

This past Saturday, the Spanish Media Reports tried getting a scoop on Gasol and going back to Barcelona. Gasol did not want to comment on that at the time and said that he is just “focused on my recovery and I am not ready to get back to competing just yet.”

However, he made up his mind today. Only four days later. Wow fast turnaround but here we are; Gasol has won two NBA Championships, a 6-time All-Star, plus played with several teams. Of course his draft-team, the Grizzlies. He did play for the Spurs, Bucks, and Bulls. Gasol has averaged 17 points and 9 rebounds per game for his entire career.

Boogie

DeMarcus Cousins and Rockets split!

DeMarcus Cousins and Rockets split!

DeMarcus Cousins and Rockets split!

DeMarcus Cousins and Rockets split! The center, known as Boogie, has split from the Rockets. This move was already made a few days ago, so this was just a leading cause of what was going to happen.

Also, this was a metal decision for these two-sides to call it quits. The 25-game run with Boogie is over, however, he could have another run in the NBA with a team. He has been trying to come back stronger than ever after Achilles’ injuries, knee injuries, etc.

The fallout happened when DeMarcus Cousins wanted more playing time, didn’t like the way he was being utilized. As a brief note, he was the backup center behind Christian Wood. However, due to the fact that Wood has been out with ankle injuries; the Rockets have lost their last eight games.

Defensive issues were catching up with Cousins and Silas did not want to pair up two centers on the court. That would have included Woods and Cousins.

That was the final straw and this meant that the Rockets have released him, or in terms, waived him.

Cousins is averaging 9 points and 7 rebounds per game since signing with the Rockets. He is averaging 20 points per game throughout his career.
