The post In The Paint Show: Lakers in Trouble? Sticking with Miami in ECF? What does CBB Look Like This Season? appeared first on www.ebooksnet.com.
]]>On Episode 82 of our In The Paint Podcast, co-hosts Ronnie Flores and Devin Ugland take a closer look at the Western and Eastern Conference Finals in the NBA Playoffs, what this year's college basketball season will look like and Michael Jordan's latest movement within the NASCAR racing sphere.
Click the play button below to tune in to the full episode!
What did the Denver Nuggets do differently in game three to help it get back into the series against the Lakers? Los Angeles' lack of consistent perimeter shooting reared its ugly head yet again, is that a viable concern for the rest of the postseason? Should the Lakers be worried?
Heading over to the Eastern Conference, the Boston Celtics won game three to take a step closer to tying the series against the Miami Heat. Did the return of Gordon Hayward come at the perfect time for the Celtics whose bench was struggling to produce? How does Miami get back on track for game four?
The next topic tackled by Ron and Dev is what will this season look like in college basketball. We have a firm start date of November 25 and non-conference tournaments are changing dates and locations to adhere to COVID-19 restrictions in some parts of the country. Will we see an NCAA Tournament this season? Will it be a bubble type of atmosphere?
The guys close out the show by discussing the latest move by Michael Jordan and him teaming with longtime NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin to start their own team. The feature driver for MJ will be Bubba Wallace and Ron and Dev break down how MJ has been able to successfully transcend multiple sports.

]]>The post Jaylen Brown Dedicates Memorable Performance vs the Warriors To His Childhood Best Friend Who Passed Away appeared first on www.ebooksnet.com.
]]>Jaylen Brown's team-high 22 points in the Celtics comeback victory vs the Warriors on Thursday wasn't his career-best but his performance in the Celtics' 14th straight victory might be the most memorable of his young career. For Brown, it was also a very emotional one.
Earlier in the day, the 21-year old Brown learned his former High School teammate and childhood best friend, Trevin Steede, had passed away. He wasn't certain if he was going to be able to play and even told Coach Stevens he didn't think he could do it. Then he received a phone call from Steede's mother. She encouraged him to go out and play for Steede. He did and was a major reason for the victory against the defending champs.
"My best friend passed last night. It was tough to kind of accept it," Brown said after scoring 22 (Steede's High School number) in the game. "Everybody was kind of in shock. But I knew coming into today that he would have wanted me to play. It was hard getting my thoughts together, but after talking to his mom and his family, they inspired me to come out and play.
"I wasn't in any shape to come out. I didn't want to leave my room. But they inspired me to come out and play. And I came out and played in his spirit today. My teammates held me up and we pulled it out."
At the end of the game, Irving gave Brown the ball, hugged him and said, "This one was for Trevin."
"I knew from the start of the game. I gave him some great words that was given to me." Said Irving. "I've lost individuals in my life. It's never a good thing when someone else is going through it. You do your best to console and to encourage them, but at the end of the day, it's about the strength within themselves and he showed a lot of that tonight, to be able to go out there and perform the way he did, I knew exactly where the game ball was going to."

]]>"Now get ya ass in the weight room!"
I don't want to ruin this video by telling you who did or said what but I'll give you some background info on Ashton Hagans since I assume you know who the Celtics former #3 pick is.
The 6'4 Hagans is a top five point guard (top 20 overall) in the Class of 2019, along with Cole Anthony and LaMelo Ball. He recently transferred to Oak Hill Academy and already has scholarships from Kansas, Alabama, Auburn, Baylor and Connecticut. You can watch him action in the following mix, which is followed by a workout video with Coach Koran Godwin.

]]>You got to love the editors of the NBA YouTube channel. Here's eight (!) angles of Steph Curry's buzzer-beating three at the end of the third quarter to give the Warriors a 74-72 lead going into the 4th quarter. ?What this video doesn't show is Steph Curry pointing and trash-talking Boston rookie Jaylen Brown after knocking down the tough three. You can see the hands, facial expressions and trash-talking in the following video uploaded by Ximo's superior NBA YouTube channel.
"I didn't say anything to anyone to be honest," said Brown, who referred to the pointing as cute. "I think my defense was doing the talking, I was playing good D until he beat me on that head fake."
Good defense also kept Curry scoreless in the 4th quarter as the Celtics outscored the Warriors 27-12! So, Curry's stats after his pointing and trash-talking to Brown was 0 points on 0-of-1 shooting, 1 assist and 2 turnovers.
But not every non-Boston Celtics fan left Oracle unhappy. During a break, a Warriors fan knocked down 4-of-7 threes to win a car. Maybe they should have game him a 10-day contract with the Kia.

A lot of Boston fans?weren't too happy about the Celtics' picks during last week's NBA draft, but #3 pick Jaylen Brown has been converting a lot of them into believers over the past few days. ?It started last Friday when the Celtics welcomed him?to practice and he told the media, "I'm here in Boston. Now I'm ready to rip somebody's head off."
He also told the media his excitement level was a 12 on a scale of 1-10, he's ready for war and doesn't care what number he was drafted because he doesn't want to be a top 5 rookie but a "top 5 player in the league one day."
Sounds great but talk is cheap. Boston fans want to see that type of Larry Bird killer instinct on a basketball court.
On Wednesday at the Madison Park Community center, a trash-talking big-boned kid started repeating some of the draft night Twitter chatter to Brown's face and paid the price for it.
Via MassLive
"You have to have that instinct," Brown smiled after the clinic, which was put on to celebrate the Celtics' renovations of the Roxbury gym. "He challenged me and I just blacked out. He said, 'You ain't good.' He said Ben Simmons (the No. 1 overall draft pick) is better. So I said alright, OK."
He didn't rip the kid's head off but he took his soul and that's what Boston fans want to see - screw that "no women and kids" Professional Hitman rule. Larry Bird was one of the most merciless and ruthless players to ever walk on a basketball court and I am in no way calling Brown the "Next Bird" or next anything, I'm just saying I and the people of Boston love the ruthless mentality Brown has been showing and are looking forward to seeing more?souls being taken as he works hard to become one of the best in the league.
"This is where the rubber hits the road," Brown said. "Now it's time to prove everybody that I'm worth being the No. 3 pick, and it's time for everybody to prove themselves trying to get to that 18th banner. So I'm going to do everything possible while I'm here to contribute to that. I know it takes a long process but I'm willing to put in the work. I'm willing to sacrifice what needs to be sacrificed. I'm ready to go."
BEN SIMMONS VS JAYLEN BROWN (2014)
Here's a 2014 throwback video of the #1 and #3 pick going at each other at the City of Palms championship game. Brown got the W with 25 points, 12 boards and 6 assists. Simmons had 28 points and 12 rebounds in his 1st loss of the season.

]]>MVP Cheick Diallo, an undecided 6-foot-9 forward from Mali and Our Savior New American School on Long Island led the game with 18 points (8-14) and 10 rebounds as the EAST defeated the WEST 111-91 in the 38th annual McDonald's All American Game at Chicago's United Center. Other stars for the East included Diamond Stone (Maryland commit) who scored 14 points (7-9) and Antonio Blakeney (LSU) who scored 14 points.
Uncommitted 6'8 forward Brandon Ingram from North carolina was impressive as he paced the West, scoring 13 of his 15pts in the first half. His teammate Allonzo Trier (Arizona) finished with 17 points.
The lone representative of the host state Illinois was Villanova-bound Jalen Brunson. Son of former McDonald's All American Rick Brunson, Jalen added 6 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists off the bench for the West.
Perhaps the most memorable play of the night featured 7ft Stephen Zimmerman dunking on his defender quickly followed by his teammate Carlton Bragg (Kansas) throwing down a windmill, electrifying his teammates and the crowd.
