Stephen Curry scored 20+ points in each half of a game for the 22nd time in his career on Monday.
Only other players to do that as often as Curry in the last 25 seasons:
Kobe Bryant (36)
James Harden (30)
Allen Iverson (28)
LeBron James (22) – 9:39 AM

Between two games against the Jazz on Friday and Monday, spot the differences.
The biggest one was no LeBron. Otherwise, there weren’t many contrasts: ocregister.com/2022/11/07/sho… – 2:06 AM

Lakers finish with the same point total as four nights ago, while Jazz improve on their Friday mark by nine. Obviously was always going to be tough without LeBron and some more missing, but Lakers now 2-8, a half-game out of last in the West. – 12:28 AM

Jazz beat Lakers 139-116. They’re now 9-3 on the season. 1st in the Western Conference.
The Jazz have as many wins as LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and Ben Simmons combined. – 12:28 AM

Really disagree with the LeBron declining narrative making the rounds. The only major dip for him as a scorer compared to the 2020 title has been 3PT shooting.

No LeBron James for the Lakers tonight against the Utah Jazz. Patrick Beverley and Lonnie Walker also out for the Lakers. Three of their starters this season. Anthony Davis is listed as probable – 1:46 PM

LeBron James (left foot soreness) will miss tonight’s game at Utah.
Lonnie Walker IV (Non-COVID illness) is also out, as is Patrick Beverley (Non-COVID illness) for the second straight game.
Anthony Davis (low back tightness) is probable. – 1:42 PM

About nine months ago, LeBron James praised #Cavs turnaround. So I asked him last night about his view of them now, after adding Donovan Mitchell and beating him for the first time since he went to LA.
They’ve got his attention.

There’s no galaxy brain solution to the Lakers’ problems.
They’re either going to give up the two picks to put a coherent supporting cast around LeBron and AD or they aren’t. It’s that simple. There’s no sidestepping that question. – 11:19 AM

Kass Sports Media: Joakim Noah on JJ Redick’s podcast says he tried to recruit LeBron, Wade and Bosh to Chicago before they decided to join the Heat. “Chris straight up told me he was f**cking coming to Chicago.” -via Twitter / November 8, 2022
Ham said James hoped to play and that Monday’s absence wasn’t strictly because the team is on a back to back. “It’s nothing structurally wrong with the foot. It’s just, it gets irritated,” Ham said. “But he’s stepped on people’s feet here and there the last couple of games and he’s tried to manage it the best he can. And we saw tonight as a good opportunity to just rest it.” The plans for future back-to-back games remain fluid, Ham said. -via Los Angeles Times / November 8, 2022
