This
is Cee Jay, C-E-E-J-A-Y! and this is your Spiritual Sports Segment with a hip
hop twist as I as I kick off a brand new
season in the NBA on ceejaysports.com as I Sprinkle a Little Spiritually in
YOUR Sports!!! Le’ Go!!!
The
2019 NBA season kicked off last night with two featured games on the hardcourt
and a handful of gold, diamonds and rubies OH MY! As We The North aka Toronto Raptors
received their 2018-19 championship rings and they were the largest NBA
championship rings every produced ! Dare I say bling, bling, bling!
But I
digress, as the Raptors opened the season against the Zion-less New Orleans
Pelicans and their deep bench as the Pelicans were running laps around the
Raptors and by the half, the Pelicans lead 61 – 56. But in the 2nd
half, the Raptors regrouped and dominated the 3rd and at the end of
regulation, tied the game to send it to OT and from there, the Raptors exhibited
championship pedigree and outscored the Pelicans 13 – 5 to notch the first win
of the NBA season as Fred Van Fleet scored a career high of 34 net scorching
points and the newly minted $130 million dollar man in Pascal Siakim, dominated
with a double-double of 34 points and 18
Big Boy Rebounds as the Raptors sealed the deal 130 – 122.
The
second game of the night takes us to California as my LA Lakers took on the new
look LA Clippers for the Battle of LA! The Lakers came out in the 1st
with a purpose and edged out the Clips, but the in the 2nd, the
Clippers and their version of the Terminator aka Khawi Leonard, bamboozled the
Lakers by outpacing them by 11 to take a 62 – 54 lead into the half. The Lakers
regrouped on account of the hot hand of Danny Green and his team high of 25
points in the 3rd, but the Clips clamped down on D and won the first
Battle of LA 112 – 102 as Leonard filled the basket with a team high of 30
points and the Clippers bench was nothing shy of stellar and walloped the
Lakers bench 60 – 19! Ouch.
For
your NBA News & Notes, as the fallout from Daryl Morey’s tweet continues
and tensions between the NBA and China still exists, Chinese state television
did not air the NBA's opening night games Tuesday as they usually do, and the
league's streaming partner, Tencent, reduced its schedule and showed just the
Lakers-Clippers contest and finally, California prosecutors announced Tuesday
that they won't charge Toronto Raptors president Masai Ujiri for shoving a
sheriff's deputy after the deciding game of the NBA Finals in Oakland in June.
