Fantasy Football Scout 2017: Dion Lewis

$

0

As we enter one of the most brutal bye weeks of the NFL season, it becomes particularly essential to find an underrated playmaker that can step in and be productive immediately. At times, this can simply be a player that may not be the most athletically inclined but garners enough playing time and target volume to offset a replacement level skill set. However, if you can discover someone that is both highly productive and physically gifted, you’ll find that you can have the best of both worlds. While the Patriots running back corps seemed murky in terms of a standout rusher initially, one name, in particular, has emerged as a versatile talent that can do it all on the field.

Team: New England Patriots
Position: Running Back
Percent Owned On Fantasy Teams: (Yahoo Fantasy): 45%
Fantasy Points Total Thru Week 7 (Half PPR): Projected: 41.58  Actual: 43.50

While Dion Lewis was underutilized during the first three weeks of the season, Lewis has been on the field much more often since week 4 as he has been present for 27 run plays per game (17th amongst running backs). During the last four weeks, the Patriots have trusted Lewis progressively more and more as his rushing attempts have increased noticeably since a matchup with the Panthers (rushing attempts weeks 4-7: 4, 7, 11, 13). With this volume increase, Lewis has been able to display his elusiveness consistently (juke rate of 54.9%, best amongst running backs) while using his underrated speed to garner crucial yardage (5.3 yards per carry, 6th amongst running backs).

However, Lewis is so much more than an effective rusher between the tackles. Although running back James White is the understandable favorite to catch passes out of the backfield, Lewis has proven to be equally as reliable in this department thanks to his strong hands. While Lewis has only been targeted eight times this season, he has caught all of the passes that have been thrown his way. Although this may not show up as particularly impressive on a stat sheet, Lewis is the ninth best rusher in the league in production premium (measures a players productivity across league average situations and discounts non-standard situations such as 2-minute drills and garbage time). What this means is that Lewis is highly versatile and can easily step in for James White (pass-catcher) or Mike Gillislee (pure rusher) in various situations.

While Lewis may not be the most physical or electric running back in the NFL, he makes the most of his dynamic skill set and has proven to be efficient in whichever way the Patriots decide to utilize him. Considering Lewis is finally getting the volume to match his athletic abilities, he is definitely an intriguing flex play that is more than worthy to start during bye weeks.

Fats Domino, a New Orleans icon known for his songs, “Ain’t That a Shame,” “Blue Monday” and “I’m Walkin’,” has died at the age of 89.

The cause of death has been said to be ‘natural causes’

According to TMZ, Fats Domino died of natural causes and his body had been released to a funeral home without an autopsy, as confirmed by the Jefferson Parish Coroner’s Office. He died in New Orleans, surrounded by family and friends; he is believed to have been survived by his eight children by his late wife of 60 years, Rosemary Domino, who lost her life in 2008, as well as his grandchildren.

He was said to be one of New Orleans’ ‘greatest treasures’

Domino had been of French Creole descent and was born and bred in New Orleans. Said to be deeply embedded in New Orleans, he became a prominent figure in the relief efforts for Hurricane Katrina, with his own home being destroyed in the storm, with Domino having to be rescued by the damage by boat, according to Nola.

A prolific singer with a career spanning decades

As a musician, he released nearly 59 albums over a period of five decades, well into the 2000’s, garnering over 25 gold singles. He also sold over 65 million records during his lifetime, according to his official website. According to ABC, Domino was awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1986, the National Medal of Arts in 1998 and was also inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Rolling Stone had also ranked him the 25th greatest artist of all time.

Leave It To ‘Rick and Morty’ To Make The Greatest Advertisement You’ve Ever Seen

Adult Swim

Despite only being on the air for three seasons, Rick and Morty has already achieved cult comedy status that few television shows — cartoon or otherwise — rarely achieve. With its mind-bending plot lines, mile-a-minute jokes, or gorgeously creative animation, Rick and Morty is just a step ahead of its competitors.

While the show’s third season was both overly delayed and supremely hyped, it surpassed expectations by miles as it was far and away the strongest season yet, meaning that Rick and Morty and its creators now have officially achieved the clout where they can essentially get away with anyway. You know how The Simpsons and South Park guys can make any joke they want, and even the unfunny ones are lauded by fans — that’s the space that Rick and Morty now lives in.

And what that ultimately means is that, unfortunately, advertisers can start selling us stuff using the Rick and Morty brand because they know fans will tune in, which is exactly whats happening here. Dammit.

via Uproxx:

In the commercial set in the Rick and Morty-verse, Rick takes a cash payment from Old Spice to introduce Morty to some Old Spice mascots at 3 a.m., but these aren’t typical mascots. They’re anthropomorphic spray bottles capable of stealing, wrecking things, and eating. Specifically, the mascot known as “Swagger” feeds upon a beloved side character who has seemingly met its surreal, cologne-scented demise.

That’s the butter-passing robot from one of our favorite episodes, “Something Ricked This Way Comes”, in which Rick makes a robot that can question its own existence and has a crisis when it realizes its only purpose is to hand Rick the butter dish at the dinner table. Perhaps it’s for the best that its bleak journey has swaggered past the finish line. Welcome to the afterlife, pal.

The ad itself is a reference to a scene from “M. Night Shaym-Aliens!”, which was also referenced in a sponsored clip from 2015 when Rick similarly barged into Morty’s room at night to introduce him to anthropomorphic Carl’s Jr./Hardee’s hamburger mascots.

Hopefully, there’s another universe where another version of myself chose not to play right into Old Spice’s marketing ploy. But not this universe.

Fantasy Football Scout 2017: Kenny Stills

Inevitably, in fantasy and in reality, teams are required to adopt the “next man up” mentality at some point during the season. While some franchises have the depth to effectively fulfill this mantra, it’s almost always an easier said than done proposition. However, there are times that a slightly above average talent can quickly step up and easily fill the shoes of a coveted talent. With Dolphins wideout DaVante Parker suffering from an ankle injury that has held him out of the last two games, third-string wide receiver Kenny Stills has functioned more like a star pass-catcher rather than simply a replacement level weapon.

Team: Miami Dolphins
Position: Wide Receiver
Percent Owned On Fantasy Teams: (Yahoo Fantasy): 49%
Fantasy Points Total Thru Week 7 (Half PPR): Projected: 52.99 Actual: 58.80

Not only has Stills come into his own in the absence of Parker, he has actually made his respective quarterbacks look sensational whenever he has been targeted (QB rating when targeted: 123.5, 7th amongst receivers). This impressive production has been due largely in part to Stills being fearless when catching contested balls, something that has helped both Matt Moore an Jay Cutler be more proficient than they normally are (75% contested catch rate, third amongst receivers).

Instagram Photo

As a result of his playmaking ability, Stills has been one of the best in terms of production premium, meaning he is effective in league average situations (6th amongst receivers in this regard). Despite being targeted only five times while in the red zone (24th amongst receivers), he has converted four of those targets into touchdowns (8th amongst receivers). This type of big-play ability allows Stills to be relied upon as both a deep threat and as a sure-handed pass catcher in the end zone.

While Stills may not receive the same volume in terms of target shares once Parker returns, it’s hard to imagine the confident wideout being shelved considering what he has done in the limited time he has been on the field. Assuming Parker is out for this week, Stills is an intriguing wide receiver two play and should be a week-to-week flex play going forward.

Fats Domino was a legend from New Orleans, and an R&B and rock ‘n’ roll icon who was selling millions of records since the 1950s. Domino’s music broke through the racial prejudice of a heavily-segregated era, crossing over with hits such as “The Fat Man” (1949), “Ain’t That A Shame” (1955), and more. On Wednesday, October 25, 2017, Domino passed away after sixty years of making music.

How much money has Fats Domino accumulated over the years? Let’s take a look at just how much bread this cat had before his passing…

Fats Domino Net Worth as of 2017: $8 Million


Fats Domino pulled in an impressive $8 million before his death. Before 1955, Domino already had released five records that sold more than one million copies each. The legendary R&B pianist has released nearly 59 albums during his career which has spanned more than half a century. The late musician has sold more than 65 million records throughout his lifetime, according to his official web site. In 1986, he became one of the first people to be inducted into the Rock ‘N’ Roll Hall of Fame. He was also honored with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1986, the National Medal of Arts in 1998. Rolling Stone has named Fats Domino the 25th greatest musician of all time.


1947 – 1956

Fats Domino began his music career in 1947, as part of the Solid Senders, at the Hideaway Club, in New Orleans. The bandleader Billy Diamond nicknamed the young musician “Fats”  because Domino reminded him of the renowned pianists Fats Waller and Fats Pichon.

In 1949, Fats Domino received national attention with his first recording “The Fat Man,” which would go onto to sell one million records by 1953. At that time, selling one million records was an unprecedented feat for a rock ‘n’ roll musician. Though, Domino truly hit the mainstream in 1955 with his hit “Ain’t That A Shame.”

His 1956 song “Blueberry Hill” became Domino’s next biggest hit, reaching No. 2 in the Top 40 and earning the number one spot on the R&B chart for 11 weeks. That year, he also appeared in two films: Shake, Rattle & Rock, and The Girl Can’t Help It.


1956 – Present

Domino debut single “The Fat Man” came out with Imperial Records, and he stayed with the label until it closed down in 1963. “I stuck with them until they sold out,” said Domino in 1979. He recorded 60 singles for the company, with 40 songs in the top 10 of the R&B chart, and 11 in the top 10 of the pop chart.

In 1963, Domino moved onto ABC-Paramount Records. The company gave Domino a new producer and arranger, which altered the musician’s style by adding a countrypolitan-style vocal chorus to most of his new recordings, which may have affected his chart performance in a negative way. While with the company, he released 11 singles, several reaching the Top 100, while only one song hit the Top 40 (“Red Sails in the Sunset”, 1963).

The legendary R&B musician continued making music up until 2007, when he retired from the industry. He was one of the first people to be inducted in the Rock ‘N’ Roll Hall of Fame, back in 1986. He passed away on Wednesday, October 25, 2017

Bruce Paddock, the brother of Stephen Paddock, the man responsible for the most deadly mass shooting in Las Vegas history, has been arrested on child pornography charges.

TMZ reports that Bruce Paddock was taken into custody on the morning of Wednesday, October 25, in North Hollywood at an assisted living home on charges of child pornography.

According to the report, police were tipped that there was child pornography on Paddock’s computer. Authorities then obtained a search warrant. The investigation began months before his brother Stephen killed 58 people and injured over 500 others on October 1.

The arrest was made by a joint task force that included the FBI and LAPD. Authorities say they found child porn images on his computer.

via NBC Los Angeles:

Bruce Paddock was arrested early Wednesday in North Hollywood. Details about the investigation that led to the arrest were not immediately available.

NBC4 is attempting to confirm reports that Bruce Paddock was arrested at an assisted living center. Aerial video showed investigators in a lot behind the building in the 5300 block of Laurel Canyon Boulevard, where authorities confirmed an arrest was made Wednesday morning.

Bruce Paddock spoke to NBC News following the Oct. 1 shooting at an outdoor music festival in Las Vegas that left 59 dead. He said he had been questioned by the FBI about his brother. Nearly a month after the shooting, authorities are still attempting to determine the motive behind the shooting, the worst in modern U.S. history.

Bruce Paddock is not the same brother that was interviewed in Orlando following the shooting.

On October 1, Paddock opened fire on a crowd of 22,000 concertgoers from his 32nd-floor hotel window from the Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino. The incident became the largest mass shooting in U.S. history, leaving 58 dead and over 500 injured.

Let’s take a look at Fats Domino’s very best lyrics, quotes, and sayings. Hear from a true legend…


Fats Domino Lyrics: Best Quotes & Most-Famous Saying

“A lot of fellows nowadays have a B.A., M.D., or Ph.D. Unfortunately, they don’t have a J.O.B.”


“Everybody started calling my music rock and roll, but it wasn’t anything but the same rhythm and blues I’d been playing down in New Orleans.”


“Clean living keeps me in shape. Righteous thoughts are my secret. And New Orleans home cooking.”


“Well, I wouldn’t want to say that I started it (rock ‘n’ roll), but I don’t remember anyone else before me playing that kind of stuff.”


“I traveled all over for about 50 years, I love a lot of places and I’ve been a lot of places, (but) I just don’t care to leave home.”


“I use to love you honey, ’til you spent all my money.”


“I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill.”


“Don’t send me no letter, cause I can’t read.”


“You made me cry when you said goodbye
Ain’t that a shame
My tears fell like rain
Ain’t that a shame
You’re the one to blame” – from the song, “Ain’t That A Shame” (1955)


‘Liver-Friendly’ Vodka: Full Story & Must-See Details On NTX Drinks

NTX, Vodka

Vodka has validated the existence of the potato for years upon years, but it can certainly be scary thinking about what alcohol can do to your health. It’s 2017, why can’t we have invented vodka that doesn’t screw up your liver by now? Well, an Indian researcher has developed a compound that will allow just that to become reality.

Can this really be a reality? Vodka that won’t ruin my liver!

NTX, Vokda

Harsha Chigurupati developed this compound, said to protect against liver and DNA damage caused by alcohol consumption, and gave it the name NTX (meaning “no-tox”). In a study coming from Chigurupati, biomarkers said that liver damage had been lower by 93% for people who consumed NTX-infused vodka as opposed to regular vodka. Later studies showed that the NTX-infused drink also had lower results of DNA damage.

What matter of witchcraft is this? What is this vodka made of?

NTX, Vodka

The NTX-infused vodka is made of three primary ingredients: potassium sorbate (a food preservative and anti-oxidant), glycyrrhizin (an anti-inflammatory created from licorice root) and mannitol (a diuretic that helps the body to lose water).

Things like this always come at a cost…what are the drink’s risks?

NTX, Vodka

Ramon Bataller, a professor at the University of Pittsburgh and a liver physician, said in a statement, according to Daily Mail, that while the drink seems promising, he is reportedly concerned over the effects of the mannitol, which is traditionally used to reduce intracranial pressure for comatose people. Added to that, there is also concern that most research concerning the drink is to0 early to determine any long-term effects and that any health improvements gained by NTX will distract people from other health problems caused by alcohol, like addiction or birth defects.

In fact, the United States Alcohol and Tobacco and Trade Bureau already rejected a petition from Chigurupati, warning that, “The proposed labeling and advertising statements create a misleading impression that consumption of alcohol beverages infused with NTX will protect consumers from certain serious health risks associated with both moderate and heavy levels of alcohol consumption.”

You had me at vodka! Where can I get this magic NTX vodka?

Although Chigurupati is currently arranging with regulators to publicly verify the compound’s health claims, New Jersey-based spirits brand Bellion is already selling NTX-infused vodka in around 11 different states and is planning to extend their reach by 2018.

Who cares about all this? How does it taste?!

After all, people already drink traditional vodka in spite of the risk it can cause to their bodies, so the most important part is how the new drink tastes. You might worry it’s like diet soda; it won’t kill you as quickly but the taste almost makes you wish that it did. According to Daily Mail, Giuseppe González, who opened the Suffolk Arms on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, the drink tastes “sweet as hell.”

Larry David Would Have Quit ‘Seinfeld’ If NBC Didn’t Air “The Contest”

There are a couple of things I enjoy (and endure) in this life because of my Dad: Italian cooking (enjoy), rock & roll (enjoy), New York Mets baseball (endure), New York Jets football (endure), and finally, Seinfeld (very much enjoy).

No matter who you ask — short of the Cheers and The Lucy Show truthers — Seinfeld is widely considered the funniest sit-com and television shows of all-time. Now, I know a lot of you millennials out there (reminder, I too am a “millennial” as I am just 24) will probably swear by Friends, let me be the first, and hopefully not the last, person to tell you how very wrong you are — Seinfeld is not only superior to Friends, but any other 30-minute-show that’s ever existed. There’s a reason Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David are worth almost a BILLION dollars, ya know.

Similar to how Seinfeld is considered the consensus funniest show of all-time, one of its episodes, The Contest, is considered the funniest episode of the show. Therefore, through the transitive property (one of the only thing I remember from math that I only use for comedic effect), “The Contest” is the funniest television episode of all-time. And Larry David knew it. In fact, David was so confident in the episode, he was willing to lose his job for it.

via Vulture:

Warren Littlefield, former president of NBC: The series always was completely unpredictable, and Jerry and Larry never followed rules, right? They made up their own rules.

When it came time to do the table read for “The Contest,” no one knew about the subject matter ahead of time. Rick Ludwin, the program executive on the show, he didn’t know what was coming.

Larry David: I remember being nervous because the NBC executives were there. I really had this thing going on in my head where, well, if they don’t like it, I’m just going to quit the show. I really had this built up in my head where, there’s no way they’re going to do it and I’m just going to quit if they don’t do it.

Michael Richards (Kramer): Larry was going to put his whole job on the line. I’ve known Larry since we did Fridays together, and that’s Larry David. If he believes in something, he’s just going to fight for it.

Obviously, “The Contest” made it to air, resulting in one of the most memorable television episodes of all-time.

If you’ve never seen the episode and I haven’t inspired you enough to check out the show for yourself, here’s a quick rundown of how each character drops out of the contest, each increasingly more hilarious.

Jenn Sterger Accuses ESPN Of Multiple Instances Of Sexual Harassment

Jennifer Sterger, who first was in the news back in 2010 due to the Brett Favre scandal, is making heading again with her accusations against ESPN.

According to a Tweet from Sterger, she endured sexual harassment from an executive who still works there as she was attempting to land a job at the network.

Sterger, the now 33-year-old former Playboy model, claims that she was brought to a strip club by higher-ups and given a tour of ESPN’s Connecticut headquarters to show others she was “just as f***able in person” in the tweet accusing the network of inappropriate conduct.

She said that when she was 23, she traveled to Charlotte for multiple meetings to discuss in-air work. After testing for the potential on-screen role, an employee invited her to a club with other coworkers, which she would eventually see was a strip club.

“I was extremely uncomfortable by the situation and incredibly awkward as I had never stepped foot in one before.,’ she wrote. “I had to watch as my male coworkers got lap-dances from girls while they teased me about how I was uncomfortable and didn’t want to participate.”

She also recounted a second incident where the same unnamed employee “who had by now risen in the ranks” invited her to the network headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut for a job interview.

Sterger said ESPN then canceled her return car trip to New Jersey, and instead was told to join the employee  who was heading to the same area. The employee then asked her to dinner, but Sterger declined.

“He still works there. He’s still gainfully employed. He’s a decision maker there,’ Sterger wrote. I later found out through a friend that works there that they only brought me in to show his coworkers I was ‘just as f***able” in person as I was in pictures,” Sterger wrote.

Sterger also claimed that ESPN women personalities who have spoken out against ESPN’s deal with Barstool Sports, such as Sam Ponder and Sarah Spain, didn’t show the same level of feminism when she accused Favre of sending her explicit texts.

Jenny McCarthy is a Playboy Playmate, actress, and controversial alternative medicine activist. She also looks as amazing as ever at 44-years-old. Her career initially blossomed on the pages of Playboy in the October 1993 issue. She quickly rose to the top of her profession, earling the title the 1994 Playmate of the Year.

McCarthy also has a notable acting career, both on television and in film. In 1995, she became the cohost of a new dating show called Singled Out. The model turned actress went onto to land significant roles in films such as BASEket Ball, Diamonds, and Dirty Love, the latter of which earned her multiple Razzie Awards. She’s also appeared on TV shows, such as Just Shoot Me, Charmed, Two and a Half Men, and The Drew Carey Show, among others.

In the summer of 2013, McCarthy was hired as a new co-host for ABC’s The View. However, her role on the show was short-lived, as she departed from the program in June 2014. That year, she became the host of her own SiriusXM series called Dirty, Sexy, Funny with Jenny McCarthy.

What are Jenny McCarthy’s controversial views on modern day medicine? In a 2008 episode of Larry King Live, she argued that vaccines cause autism, a theory which has been widely debunked by the mainstream scientific commnunity. The model/actress has also argued that that chelation therapy helped cure her son of autism, another claim that isn’t supported by any scientific consensius.

After taking Game 1 at home behind a dominant effort from Clayton Kershaw, the Los Angeles Dodgers are looking to ride the resurgent Rich Hill to a 2-0 series lead. That will be no easy task, though, as the Houston Astros will be pitching Justin Verlander tonight, who has been utterly dominant since coming over from the Detroit Tigers in a midseason trade, and especially this postseason, where his ERA has been less than 1.

Verlander, the 2017 ALCS MVP, held the Yankees to one earned run over 16 innings to record one of the finest single-series pitching performances ever. However, Verlander needs to shake off his career 7.20 ERA in three World Series starts with the Detroit Tigers.

On the mound for the Dodgers will be 37-year-old Rich Hill. The veteran lefty pitcher makes his first World Series start after pitching in independent league baseball as recently as 2015. While Hill didn’t exceed five innings in either of his first two postseason starts, he allowed only three runs on six hits combined in those outings.

If the Astros want to have a real shot at winning this series, they have to win at least one game on the road, so look for Houston to give it all they’ve got tonight to steal a win before they head back home to Texas.

Game 1 was a tight one and Game 2 should be more of the same, so find out how to watch Houston Astros vs. Los Angeles Dodgers World Series Game 2

WATCH: ‘Crash For Cash’ Scammer’s Epic Fail Is Caught On Camera

One “crash for cash” scammer was caught in the act, as she hurled herself onto the hood of a taxi in Blackpool, England. Good thing the whole scene was captured on camera or that cabbie’s insurance company would probably be paying that trickster through the nose. The cabbie even claims to have been accosted by the scammer’s male companion, who ran up to the window of the cab, shouting, screaming, and even threatning to kill the driver. Unfortunately, that part of the story wasn’t caught on camera (or at least it wasn’t released to the internet).

The scheme went down this past Sunday in Blackpool, Lancashire. In the video, the woman is seen sprinting before turning 90 degrees and hurling herself at the stationary car. Therefore, the car didn’t her, she hit the car. This scammer also left a hole on the plastic charge door connected to the car’s hood, which will likely cost the cabbie’s company £500 to fix. After throwing herself on the vehicle, the woman fell to the floor and played dead while another driver simply avoided her by veering around the scammer playing oppossum.

The cabbie said, “Other drivers must have thought it looked that obviously fake that they just went round her as well. If it was real, somebody would have stopped – but no-one stopped to help. The whole incident is just unbelievable.”

Take a look for yourself and see if you think she’s a scammer too…

Here’s how the cabbie remembered the incident, “From what I can remember she didn’t really try and jump on it she just dived straight at the car. It was like it happened in slow motion. I just thought ‘what an idiot’ – I knew straight away what was happening. She was trying to get a claim from a big and respectable company. I was stopped at the traffic lights when I saw them both running across the road. She then started doubling back and heading for me.”

“What an idiot” is right.

Premier Cabs driver Christopher Stewart, 33, claimed that the scammer’s male companion ran up to him, yelling and screaming. The guy told the cabbie, “I’m going to kill you.” But the cabbie said he wasn’t scared. “I was a boxer in the army so wasn’t that worried about the bloke who ran at me but the incident did put me off. After I reported it to the office I finished for the night as I didn’t want to go back out.”

Stewart said, “Nothing like this has happened to me before. Sometimes people get a bit lairy, that’s a usual Saturday night, but this is something else.”

A Lancashire Police spokesman said, “We have had a report of this vehicle crime and we are investigating a fraud-related offence.”

Lonzo Ball and the Los Angeles Lakers (1-2) will be hosting John Wall and the undefeated Washington Wizards (3-0) Wednesday night in what is bound to be a tough matchup for the 19 year old UCLA product.

Wall, one of the quickest guards in the NBA, will be playing with some extra motivation Wednesday after Ball’s outspoken father, Lavar, stated that “[Washington] better beware. Because Lonzo ain’t losing again! Not in the same week!”

Wall’s response?

“Nah, no mercy.”

The Wizards hope to remain the only undefeated team in the Eastern Conference by defeating a rebuilding Lakers squad. Their wins have been worrying, however, as three weaker teams have taken Washington close all the way into the fourth quarter. To establish themselves as an Eastern Conference powerhouse early in the season, the Wizards have to not only defeat Los Angeles, but beat them decisively.

Forward Markieff Morris (hernia) and guard Sheldon Mac (achilles) are out, with forward Jason Smith marked as questionable.

The Lakers, on the other hand, will hope that Ball wearing the colors of his alma mater when they rock throwback baby blue “MPLS” jerseys tonight will awaken something unseen. Fresh off a 119-112 loss to the New Orlean Pelicans, the Lakers will have the challenge of shutting down Otto Porter (18.3 PPG) and Bradley Beal (23.3 PPG).

A win for the Wizards in imperative for them to keep their title as a major Eastern Conference threat, while the Lakers will attempt to create some early season energy moving forward.
