• BallCourt - The Lakers headed to the White House | Return of Sonics to the League | NCAA Bubble

  Jan 22, 2021 CWN Publisher 0 Comments

   

  There is a longstanding tradition with sports teams that win a championship taking a trip to the White House for a visit with the President of the United States. But since Donald Trump took office no NBA team has chosen to make that trip.
  
  The Los Angeles Lakers are looking forward to reconvening a post-championship tradition of visiting the White House at some point during the 2020-21 season after President-elect Joe Biden is sworn into office as the 46th President of the United States, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
  
  Waiting to see if Biden’s schedule will be freed up for the lone occasion the Lakers travel to take on the Washington Wizards, and gathering information on what the White House COVID-19 protocols will look like are all determining factors, sources said.

   This week on BallCourt - The World of Basketball, Coach Drew digs into the hot topic - The Lakers plan to go to the White House - After Trump Leaves.  Additional topics include:

      ◦    Possible return  of our Sonics to the league
      ◦     Clippers Paul George and Morris in favor of NBA shutdown amid turmoil at the Capitol.
      ◦     Beijing Duck’s Jeremy Lin to sign with Warriors' G League team in latest NBA comeback attempt, per report

• BallCourt - NBA New Season Kick-Off | Brooklyn Is In The House - Kyrie and Durant look DANGEROUS!

  Dec 29, 2020 CWN Publisher 0 Comments

  The first week of the 2020-21 season was proceeding somewhat normally … or at least as normal as basketball can be in empty arenas in the midst of a pandemic. The good teams were mostly good, the bad teams were mostly bad, and there were some mixed results in between. This week on BallCourt, Coach Drew talks about the NBA New Season Kick-Off Teams and positions.  The Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets both end up on top this week. Despite suffering a loss each, they have the top two net ratings in the league and it's impossible to argue that any of those undefeated teams are better than them at this point. After that, things get a little wild in the rankings. Additional topics include:

   ◦    Giannis signs 5 year supermax extension  and now what!
   ◦    Harden impressive in debut loss to TrailBlazers
   ◦    Is Brooklyn in the house, without a doubt.
   ◦    Lakers gets easy win for Christmas, but were we shafted on the gift.
   ◦    Upset Alert: Clippers make history in loss to Mavs.
   ◦    Coach Drew’s team to watch:  The Charlotte Hornets
