Lakers 110 Bulls 115 F..."The West Side Story Report" Post Bulls Covid Delay Edition as the Bulls ride "Just A Kid from Compton" DeMarvelous DeRozan as Ex-Lakers The CARUshow & Zo Ball chip in big!...LeGM & LeCoach dba LeBron leads Lakeshow with 31, "Mad Man" Westbrook almost goes Triple-Double as the former "Bully of MSG" 'Melo Anthony adds 21 playing an Extra trying to get a Leading Role! #LALvsCHI #LakersvsBulls @Lakers @ChicagoBulls #Lakeshow #BullsNation #TheWestSideStoryReport

 The Chicago Bulls needed this one not only because it was the next game on the Schedule but because the entire squad was coming off Covid Delay. The Lakers needed this just to get back into the "W" Column the right column as their struggles continue coming off a double-digit "L" from 10K Lakes in the Twin Cities! 

A night where the Bulls didn't have their best shooting night they still hung tough and led 61-60 at the break. They won the all important turnover battle as the Lakers turned the Vegetable over 19 times to the Bulls ten. Chicago also rode a huge night from the starters combining for 93 points with four in double-figures led by "Just A Kid from Compton" DeMar DeRozan's game-high 38 points. 

DeMarvelous (coined by Bulls TV Color Man and former Boomer Sooner All-American and Bulls Champion) Stacy King was sensational as Zach "Trampoline" LaVine was a no-go out in Covid Protocol. DeMarvelous as 16-17 from the charity stripe as Bulls All-Star "Big" Nikola Vucevic went 19 points and thirteen boards with Zo' Ball adding 19 points with four helpers and Alex Caruso 17 points and nine boards.  

Lakers Star LeBron James led the Lakeshow with 31 points and fourteen boards as he continues to defy "What is Father Time" with Russell "Mad Man" Westbrook adding 20 points, nine boards and eight helpers. Newly-Acquired Lakers Pocket PG Isiah Thomas round out the Lakers Starters in double figures with 13 playing extremely well in his second night with L.A..

Carmelo Anthony hit some big shots leading all Bench Scorers in the game with 21 points but it was too much Chicago late as DeMarevlous continues to be spectacular. 

Bulls move to 18-10 and sweeps the season series from L.A. as the Lakers fall to 16-15. Bulls will get the H-Town Rockets Monday Night December 20th on the 2nd leg of a back to back at the Madhouse on Madison while the Lakers get the "Valley of the Sun" Hoops Team Tuesday Night on NBA on TNT. 

Lakers All-Star Anthony Davis dba A-Disney or the Band-Aid Man (Former name of Mizzou Star PF Derrick Chievous" 
out for at least 4-6 weeks with Knee Sprain Lakers must figures out how to keep afloat in the west!

NFL Week 14 starts in the Twin Cities as the Pittsburgh Steelers with No Fishing Poles or Hockey Sticks on the Charter heads West to the Land of 10K Lakes to face the reeling Minnesota Vikings going Purple People Eaters-Less since the late 70s. 

The Steelers could really help themselves in what appears to be a wide-open #Fight4Lamar yes the Lamar Hunt Trophy dba AFC Championship getting a "W" tonight and getting a few extra days rest. The Vikes on he other hand comes off an "L" to the #RestoreTheRoar Detroit Lions and injuries everywhere to Players starring in a leading role like RB and former #GoNoles All-American Dalvin Cook! 

As we hit Playbook and Keys to tonight's #TNF Steelers Nation would hope that QB Big Ben Roethlisberger is seeing and getting everything under the Sun and Moon to get near 80% for this one...

Playbook

Big Ben has to take advantage of that Vikes back end getting D.J., Mapletron and Friermuth all involved often

Cousins has to find another WO as Justin Jefferson is Waffle House open 24-7-365 and the Steelers will try to play Health Department and shut him down upon inspection...

Special Teams with no Elements who wins that all important battle...

Najee Harris must get going and "Big" vs that SKOL Run Defense as Vikes Lead Man Mike Zimmer is all too familiar wit Big Ben and Tomlin...

 

SKOL RB Dalvin Cook is "Questionable" and for Cousins to have any shot #33 must be behind him to balance everything out with WO Adam Thielen out for this one...

Can the SKOL O-Line handle "Area 90" dba TJ Watt and Lil Ironhead Heyward #97 and that Steelers Front? Vikes Rookie 1st Round OT Christian Darrisaw from Blacksburgh VA U Football is Questionable... 

Turnover Battle who wins?

Situational Football...who wins?

Steelers and Big Ben must handle the Big ATM Crowd Noise!

NFL Week 14 on a short week...which team can reach back for that extra something to out them over the top will win! 

Steelers trying to stay in both the AFC North Hunt and #Fight4Lamar Hunt as the Vikes trying to stay Wild Card Hunt Bound as the Packers have all but locked up the NFC North!

Nuggets 97 Bulls 109 F..."The West Side Story Report" minus 5,280 feet above water Edition!...No DeMarvelous or Coby as "Tramploine" LaVine 206 carries all Five Bulls Starters in double figures as this new Bulls Train keeps rollin'! The JOKER goes Triple-Double for the Mile High Nugs! #DENvsCHI #MileHighBasketball #BullsNation #LaVine4MVP #SeeRed #WestSideStoryReport

 The Chicago Bulls are the latest NBA Squad to get hit with the Covid Virus but that didn't stop the next man up as Team USA Gold Medalist and Bulls Star Guard Zach LaVine gives the visiting Denver Nuggets a little "Taste of Chicago" Madison Street as the Bulls roll to a convincing 109-97 "W"!

That next man up thang resonated right through the Bulls Locker Room as LaVine led all five Bulls Starters in double figures with a game-high 32 points with eight helpers. Both Nikolai Vucevic and Lonzo Ball added 20 points and ten boards each to boot with Derrick Jones Jr. 10 and nine boards. Former Illini and Chicago IL Morgan Park H.S. Star Ayo Dosunmu in his first NBA Start looked and played the part with an outstanding night 11 points, eight boards and six helpers as he continues to impress...

Denver led early in the second by as much as eleven points by the score of 47-36 and that's when the Bulls put into high gear narrowing that deficit to 49-46 at the break. LaVine then took over midway through the 3rd frame with a dozen in the frame as Chicago led 77-71 at the end of the 3rd. 

Bulls led by as much as 17 in the 4th and never looked back as Nuggets Star "Big" Nikola Jokic went triple-double with 17 points, fifteen helpers and a dozen boards. Will Barton and Monte Morris led Mile High Basketball with 19 each! 

Bulls move to 17-8 and 8-4 at the Madhouse on Madison as Coby White and DeMar DeRozan were both out with Covid as we ll as JaVonte Green. Nugs Star Point Guard Jamal Murray still a few months away out rehabbing his ACL. 

Next Up for the Bulls Wednesday Decemeber 8th in C-Town vs "Bloodline" PG Darius Garland and the new Cleveland Cavaliers. Denver will be the Big Easy on the same night taking on State Bird of Louisiana Hoops! 
 

  

Ravens 19 Steelers 20 F..."Triple Diamonds Chronicles" Purple Browns Game Week Edition!...Stillers go Toe to Toe with AFC North Division Leading B-More Ravens and wins!...Big Ben to D.J. looking like Big Ben to A.B.!...T.J. Watt dba "Area 90" #OnWisconsin gets 3.5 Red Jersey Collections!...LJ8 to Andrews falls short to get the "W"! #BALvsPIT #RavensvsSteelers #HereWeGo #RavensFlocks #TripleDiamondChronicles

 The Pittsburgh Steelers came into today's AFC North Matchup vs the Baltimore Ravens as clear underdogs after losing last week to the Cincinnati Bengals in Jungle on the Ohio as the Black and Gold looked like the Washington Generals playing the Harlem Globetrotters and that's putting it lightly! 

Now after a week of Big Ben telling the NFL World this 2021 Season is his last one all of Steelers Nation agreed but was thinking we still have some left in the tank if we can beat these Purple Browns from Two Men and Truck (Cleveland, Ohio Fame) we have a shot at winning time. 

Fast Forward to late Sunday Night and the Steelers hold on to win an exciting back and forth Ravens/Steelers Tilt that is hands down the best rivalry in the Shield! What was more impressive is that the Ravens controlled the Clock (36 mins to 24 mins) as Ravens dynamic QB Lamar Jackson threw for 253 yards and ran for another 55 yards. Yes he had one INT and a late game throw that could have been better to TE and his LYFT Driver in Ravens TE Mark Andrews but that was the story here. 

Pittsburgh's "D" had seven red jersey collections to the Ravens one for starters as Steelers All-World Red Jersey Collector T.J. Watt dba "Area 90" grabs 3.5 on the night. Throw in a Big Ben Passer Rating of 111.8 and no INTs it was vintage "Turn Down for Watt" and Big Ben vs the Purple Browns Night. 

Steelers WO Diontae Johnson continues his trek towards one fo the elite WOs in the "Shield" with 105 yards on eight grabs with eleven targets with two of the eight grabs in the Ravens End Zone! 2021 Offensive Rookie of the Year in Steelers RB Najee Harris ran for a rugged 71 yards on 21 totes and grabbed five Wilson Pigskins for 36 as he has been better than advertised which is saying a lot!

Now the Steelers move to 6-5-1 with the Purple Browns falling to 8-4 as these two will meet again soon and that's a Pittsburgh Steelers huge "W" as its literally and figuratively speaking "Any Given Sunday" talking the 2021 Steelers! 

Next Up on Thursday Night Football Prime Time this week December 9th at 7pm CST in the Twin Cities Thursday Night vs #SKOL and the Minnesota Vikings who lost to the Detroit Lions and don't laugh as we tied those same Lions a few weeks back as they try to "Restore the Roar" in the "D" 3-1-
3! 

#BBSG yes Bang Bang Stiller Gang! 

Bulls 111 Nets 107 F...ZO' goes "DAGGER"...DeRozan and LaVine hits the Phone Booth again and out comes the JOKER and the PENGUIN!..."The West Side Story Report" Gotham City Edition as the Bulls play Batman Villains and takes down Gotham City Nets! #CHIvsBKN #BullsNation #WeGoHard #WestSideStoryReport

 Call it what you want game 24 of 82, a Sample Size or the new Chicago Bulls Post #FireGarAndPax (Yes I went there and will go there throughout the 2021-22 Bulls Trek) and Bulls Nation we have us something brewing in the 'Go dba Windy City. The Bulls play "Nip and Tuck" and stays close enough to the Brooklyn Nets to take Easy Money Sniper and the Flatbush Nets down for a 111-107 huge "W"!

Bulls standouts starring in a Leading Role in DeMar DeRozan (Joker) and Zach LaVine (Penguin) hits the Phone Booth as they have in most if not all the Bulls 24 tilts and this time the Joker and Penguin emerge as they hit Gotham City Arena dba Barclays with a combined 60 points with LaVine with a game-high 31 points (11-13 FT) and DeRozan adding a healthy 29 points (13-24 FG) as the Bulls win 111-107. 

It was a Lonzo Ball (8 pts 9 rebs 7 asst) who hit the deciding Money Ball late from a feed from LaVine that put #SeeRed in the Winner's Circle. Gotham City Nets Star Kevin Durant led the Nets with 28 points with ten boards as the Nets only went to the Charity Stripe nine times to the Bulls twenty-seven times as the Bulls were the aggressor the entire contest. 

LaMarcus "L-Train" Aldridge added 20 points and seven boards as the Nets fall to 16-7 while the Bulls move to 16-8 and by mid-January we will know who the top teams in the NBA East are believe that! An impressive stay in the N.Y.C. as the Bulls took down Knicks Tape on Thursday at World's Most Famous!
