Watch Russell bust Mudiaye ass. :toast

[tonight...you]

Mudiaye teh suxxors.

[LkrFan]

Russell 19, Mudiaye 4 at the half. :lol

[Ball Buster]

Fantastic group of players Mitch and Company have assembled here. Great ball movement, great help defense, fast pace offense. Much more entertaining team to watch then last year.

I think Nick Young may revive his career in this Luke Walton offense. Just watching this game the team already has amazing spacing. And me too:bobo

Like Lou, he's a streaky shooter. I think he'll fit really nicely in that Dub offense.

Mudiaye still can't shoot :lol

Swaggy hero balling now. SMH

[Ball Buster]

Swaggy hero-balling again. It's garbage time with the Riff Raff

[Ball Buster]

This Lakers team just always seems to have a run in them. Back up by 8 at the 4th quarter

Lakers will definitely be fun to watch this year.

[Ball Buster]

Lakers will definitely be fun to watch this year.

they know what they're doing now. Russell is calling players out pointing to spots on the floor everybody looks in agreement, and then they run a set play that either nets them an open shot or a handoff for a fast break. They look 100% better

[Bynumite]

Luke needs to handcuff Lou Williams to the end of the fucking bench. Nothing but contested chucking trying to draw fouls.

Please tell me that play was to take the lead with under two minutes left. Otherwise, your bench is just obnoxious as fuck.

A quick pull up three by a terrible shooter; good to see Kobe rubbed off on him, tbh.

[Spurtacular]

784590498145116162

Low degree of difficulty pass against guys who apparently don't want NBA jobs to leave that big a passing lane open, tbh.

[spurraider21]

russell is just a jump shooter, still struggles to get to the paint and finish at the rim

[TDMVPDPOY]

high pace offense means u better hit those shots, and u better have good rebounders to pounding theboards on those miss shots and players good enough to run back on transition defense...

they will be expose against superior teams though, but it seems like they are on pace to be better then the 76s who had 4 straight years lottery picks who are now draft busts

[apalisoc_9]

Mudiay is so bad...He's like a worse version of rubio.
at least rubio can be a positive and is a decent passer.

Mudiay is a guy who cant shoot but wants to be a scorer

[DeRozan m8]

2nd Q.

What a bunch of c*nts.

Clipps, GSW, Lakers, all have disgusting bench behaviour.

D'Angelo and this icy thing is as cringey as Kobes farewell tour tbh

The Lakers are so embarrassing hahaha

[LkrFan]

Please tell me that play was to take the lead with under two minutes left. Otherwise, your bench is just obnoxious as fuck.

I actually think we'll have a nice, energetic, and athletic bench.

[LkrFan]

Crisp, sound, on target passes work too. You don't always have to make Sportscenter highlights soon.

[LkrFan]

A quick pull up three by a terrible shooter; good to see Kobe rubbed off on him, tbh.

He is going to be our leader - for better or for worst. Luke said so himself. He'll have a green light every night ala Dame, Lowry, etc. Some nights he'll look spectacular, others not so much. Had he played more than 24 minutes, he was going to drop 40 on Mudiaye.

They play the Nuggs again in Pepsi Center in a couple days. I want to see Russell do it again, against the same player. Mudiaye will be pumped up, especially in that altitude at home. We'll see.

[LkrFan]

russell is just a jump shooter, still struggles to get to the paint and finish at the rim

I'm OK with that for now. People who relentlessly attack the paint all the time expose themselves to potential injury. Just look at Kobe.

He is stronger in his base. He was posting players up in SPL with relative ease. I suspect we'll see more of that as the season wears on. He'll abuse midget PGs like CP3 or Dame or Steph in the post. Now guarding them on the other end will be another story :lol

[LkrFan]

Just a glimpse of what Luke will give him the freedom to do:

784612365048446980

[LkrFan]

Luke needs to handcuff Lou Williams to the end of the fucking bench. Nothing but contested chucking trying to draw fouls.

Him or Swaggy needs to go. Clarkson deserves 35mpg at a minimum. He's much improved and I look forward to seeing him develop with Russ. They'll be a force to deal with in another year or two.

[ambchang]

Gotta say I was wrong last year. These young guns will lead the lakers to 30 wins this year. They were just held back last year and never saw the ball on offense.

Agreed. I know people are gonna call me racist; but hoodrat behavior ain't bringin' the fans in. Well, some of it is (on the court mainly); but the stupid pissy lil sh**, no.

[Spurtacular]

I actually think we'll have a nice, energetic, and athletic bench.

That's how I'd describe the 76'ers bench from last year, tbh.

[Spurtacular]

Crisp, sound, on target passes work too. You don't always have to make Sportscenter highlights soon.

Damn, son; learn how to spell son. I mean, yea nothing against the pass though; just saying that's on the defense for being low energy and that the pass was not a SC highlight was pretty much the gist of my point, son.

[Spurtacular]

Most people would've said worse, but okay I'll go with worst. That's about how I'd typically describe the Lakers. Yea, if you're relying on that thug to lead you, then happy days for Laker haters, tbh!

I've seen it - you tripping. It's not like he's Kevin Martin 2.0 :lol He'll be alright. At least 7 of his misses were close. I think he's pressing. Once he relaxes he'll begin to show why he should have been #1 overall.

Way too early to call him a bust though :lol

The Lakers will win their 17th before the Spurs win their 6th and then your lame little avatar pic will have actual meaning beyond some silly lists.

And what an idiotic statement that is above coming from you. You tell someone they are living in the past when 90% of your posts are about a player thats retired.

But hey, maybe oneway your team can actually defend a title and you wont be so sensitive.

And I for one believe him (I'll just bet you do.). But, beyond all that business will Nick & Russell ever be able to put aside what happened last season? To be really honest I don't know.

San Antonio was playing in Dallas when I hopped on the bandwagon so you fail there.

No argument on us giving the Celtics so many and it's why we are number two. We aren't going to be reduced to number three anytime soon though. You guys will be moving from number 4 to 5 within a few years. :lol

And on another note, guess what all the teams above yours have in common? Yep, you guessed it. All of them defended their titles multiple times. As will be the case when the Warriors surpass you as well.

There is one winner and 29 losers. Our boys have been the winner 16 times. Yours 5. That is it. Period.

I would much rather watch a young core of players develop and play an exciting style of basketball than watch the snooze fest that is the Spurs anytime. And as I said, the Lakers will win their 17th before the Spurs win their 6th. Kind of like the article the other day asking sportswriters who they would miss most of the big three who retired (Kobe, Duncan, KG). A couple picked Kobe, a couple picked Duncan and I think one picked KG. The best line of all was one of the guys who chose Kobe. I'll paraphrase here since i have no desire to find it. "Although TD had a more consistent career I will miss Kobe the most because regardless if he had a bad night or a good night it was always exciting. I could not name five exciting moments from TD in a 20 year career". Couldn't have said it better myself.
