10/18/18 NBA Game Thread

[TheCultOfPersonality]

The Bulls and The Sixers are making everything it seems.

[mystargtr34]

Markelle Fulz is a fucking joke tbh.

[Bynumite]

The real nba season starts tonight :hat

Laker season starting on the 3rd day of the season and on the road :lol The ratings on the season opener were putrid. NBA needs the Lakers and LebronPERIOD

[TDMVPDPOY]

fkn midget white players given green light to chuck

scrubs shouting at refs for fouls

shit teams allowing no name players to chuck cause they cant attract top FA to be franchise players... Lavine is a fkn scrub

[D-Wade]

John Wall looks like a tank coming into this season.

[D-Wade]

lol at Shitty Wiz stans booing Olynyk all game because of that one good game he had for the Cs.

[DAF86]

Lebron > Kobe as a Laker already.

[mystargtr34]

Jesus Chris Webber is actually worse than Reggie Miller.

[Laker_1995]

Lebron > Kobe as a Laker already.


Cmon nigga 😂

[Bynumite]

LeGOAT :worthy:

[baseline bum]

Lolnzo Ball talking about winning titles :lmao

[DAF86]

This game's defense makes the other day's Spurs effort look like the Bad Boys Pistons.

[baseline bum]

Gotta say I like those yellow Jerry West era throwbacks the Lakers have gone to as their main uniform. By far the best uniform in their franchise history and much better than the ones they have worn for the rest of the 2000s. Not a fan of their purple gear this season though.

[baseline bum]

Webber says he could see the Lakers win 40? WTF? They're probably going to be about a 50-52 win team. No way LeBron isn't worth 15 wins.

[baseline bum]

That's garbage to not give Lollard continuation there

[LkrFan]

That's garbage to not give Lollard continuation there
C'mon BB. That was a good no call :lol

[baseline bum]

C'mon BB. That was a good no call :lol

Were you smuggling meth por el culo when you swam the river? Nigga didn't take a dribble and went right up with that shot.

[baseline bum]

Lollard thinking he's Curry :lol

[DAF86]

Lebron leaves his team double digits up, as soon as he sits the lead is poof. Story of his life. :lol

[Pelicans78]

Webber says he could see the Lakers win 40? WTF? They're probably going to be about a 50-52 win team. No way LeBron isn't worth 15 wins.

They lose about 5-6 wins without Randle. LeBron adds about 15 wins and the young guys should improve as well. I expect close to 50.

[baseline bum]

Lebron leaves his team double digits up, as soon as he sits the lead is poof. Story of his life. :lol

It's mind blowing how good LeBron can make those fucking scrubs look when he's out there.

[mystargtr34]

Lakers gon need a 40-15-10 night from LeBron to win :lol

[Bynumite]

Beasley should be handcuffed to the bench :vomit:

[DAF86]

So Kuzma is gonna be the Lakers backup center all season?

[mystargtr34]

Kyle Kuzma has that Karl Anthony Towns high oestrogen look about him.

[JakeCuenca]

Smdh. Outside of the Heat years, Lebron had to always carry scrubs. Its sad.

If he had Jordan team nigga would have 10 rings by nowm

[baseline bum]

Stauskas! :lol


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEK_d-SFfCQ

[DAF86]

Lebron on the Lakers. He will never get a call go against him ever again. :lol

[mystargtr34]

Stauskas! :lol


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEK_d-SFfCQ

:lol my god. Rumour has it Vlade was in a separate room trading away future picks.

[baseline bum]

Damn Ranadive was right :lol

[Mr. Body]

Holy shit, LeBron is going to have to drag this team to wins. How do you not sign any 3-point shooters?

[Bynumite]

Getting torched by some euro softie :lol

[Mr. Body]

Lakers are a fucking mess without LeBron. What a trash roster.

[DAF86]

Lebron will have to go supernova to make something out of this throw shit at the wall roster, tbh.

[DAF86]

Is McGee the only center the Lakers have on its roster?

[8FOR!3]

Good chance LeBron never wins another title.

[mystargtr34]

Is McGee the only center the Lakers have on its roster?

Ivica Z:lolbac as well.

[marinoman]

I forget, which of these jobbers were laker fans willing to give for kawhi? Yeah we sure missed out

[DAF86]

Good chance LeBron never wins another title.

I could see him winning some coattail rings when he's around 40, tbh.

[DAF86]

I forget, which of these jobbers were laker fans willing to give for kawhi? Yeah we sure missed out

I would have accepted Ingram and Kuzma, tbh.

[DMC]

Laker season starting on the 3rd day of the season and on the road :lol The ratings on the season opener were putrid. NBA needs the Lakers and LebronPERIOD

:cry "too big to fail" " :cry

[baseline bum]

So is this the part where Spurs fans are supposed to regret not trading Kawhi for the Lakers trash?

[DMC]

Lakers are a fucking mess without LeBron. What a trash roster.

He chose that intentionally. He's going to have his Westbrook season.

[DAF86]

I have always been a fan of McGee's game, tbh.

[8FOR!3]

I could see him winning some coattail rings when he's around 40, tbh.

I'm sure he'll still be a really good player that's the crazy thing. Hell 40 year old LeBron would still probably be the best player on the Lakers.

Fuckin JaVale McGee looks like their second best player :spin

[Bynumite]

Lebron on the Lakers. He will never get a call go against him ever again. :lol

3 fouls with 6 minutes to go in the 1st half.

FAP :lol

[mystargtr34]

McGee is legit LA's second best player.

[marinoman]

Lakers are definitely going to make a trade by February, their number 2 seems to be McGee

[baseline bum]

Fuckin JaVale McGee looks like their second best player :spin

That's because he is :lol

[DAF86]

3 fouls with 6 minutes to go in the 1st half.

FAP :lol

Should have 5 by now, tbh.

[Mr. Body]

I forget, which of these jobbers were laker fans willing to give for kawhi? Yeah we sure missed out

No one really knows what Magic was going to offer. Ingram and Kuzma might have been involved. Maybe. Ingram is a goofy motherfucker with some length and relatively decent talent but he disappears whenever LeBron is on the floor. Kuzma is a good hustle guy with some talent but I'm not sure how much better he gets. Neither is likely to ever be as good as DeRozan is.

[Mr. Body]

Since LeBron signed, I called two guys were gone by the end of the season: Luke Walton, Lonzo Ball.

[Kawhi’s_Conscience]

half of these fuckers are gone mid season. they got lebron, they need to compete now...

[mystargtr34]

Anthony Davis for Ingram, Kuzma, Lonzo and 1st around January tbh once AD requests a trade.. can they still sign a max guy in the off season?

[baseline bum]

Davis can't opt out until the summer of 2020. No way New Orleans is trading him this year.

[Mr. Body]

Ive thought kuzmas ceiling is a poor mans carmello and Ingram has been invisible so far...just got a steal

Kuzma and Melo aren't even close to the same kind of player.

[Mr. Body]

Are the Lakers playing better or the Blazers playing shittier? I say a bit of both.

[Kawhi’s_Conscience]

derozan is just like kobe, but less talented.
pretty sure anyone given a green light to shoot could drop the same #’s in toronto...

[DAF86]

Anthony Davis for Ingram, Kuzma, Lonzo and 1st around January tbh once AD requests a trade.. can they still sign a max guy in the off season?

The Pels are good, why would AD request a trade?

[mystargtr34]

Davis can't opt out until the summer of 2020. No way New Orleans is trading him this year.

Agree they wouldn't want to.. but what if NO is hovering around that 8 seed again at .500 and he says he wants out.. would cause head aches.. plus you know LeBron's group is in his ear.

[baseline bum]

half of these fuckers are gone mid season. they got lebron, they need to compete now...

I doubt it. They signed a bunch of one year deals in anticipation of signing Leonard, Thompson, Butler, or Kemba next summer.

[Mr. Body]

Agree they wouldn't want to.. but what if NO is hovering around that 8 seed again at .500 and he says he wants out.. would cause head aches.. plus you know LeBron's group is in his ear.

Pelicans just destroyed Houston. Getting rid of Cousins was a net plus. They have what might be decent talent around AD.

[marinoman]

Kuzma and Melo aren't even close to the same kind of player.
No defense, on the ball scorer, mainly 18 footers

[baseline bum]

Agree they wouldn't want to.. but what if NO is hovering around that 8 seed again at .500 and he says he wants out.. would cause head aches.. plus you know LeBron's group is in his ear.

You have another season and a half to try to convince him.

[Kawhi’s_Conscience]

I doubt it. They signed a bunch of one year deals in anticipation of signing Leonard, Thompson, Butler, or Kemba next summer.
well they’re gonna be disappointed, unless they get kawhi or AD. cant believe magic rolled the dice with these kids. should’ve given up the farm for kawhi...

[baseline bum]

well they’re gonna be disappointed, unless they get kawhi or AD. cant believe magic rolled the dice with these kids. should’ve given up the farm for kawhi...

The farm was shit. If Kawhi would have just asked for the trade in the summer of 2017 when he decided he wanted out the Spurs would have probably done it for the #2 pick and filler.

[Kawhi’s_Conscience]

The farm was shit. If Kawhi would have just asked for the trade in the summer of 2017 when he decided he wanted out the Spurs would have probably done it for the #2 pick and filler.
yeah, well it's better than derozan tbh. spurs are now committed to not just paying his contract but also extending it in the foreseeable future given they cannot attract any marquee FA.

[Mr. Body]

I doubt it. They signed a bunch of one year deals in anticipation of signing Leonard, Thompson, Butler, or Kemba next summer.

Even if you're signing one year deals, you need to build a team identity. This team is just random. Once teams realize they can't shoot it'll get harder.

[Mr. Body]

The farm was shit. If Kawhi would have just asked for the trade in the summer of 2017 when he decided he wanted out the Spurs would have probably done it for the #2 pick and filler.

I don't think the Spurs would ever trade with the Lakers.

[baseline bum]

yeah, well it's better than derozan tbh. spurs are now committed to not just paying his contract but also extending it in the foreseeable future given they cannot attract any marquee FA.

I don't get the Ingram hype at all and Kuzma is just energy off the bench.

[Mr. Body]

I don't get how shitty the Portland defense can be when they don't really have to defend the 3.

[baseline bum]

I don't think the Spurs would ever trade with the Lakers.

Probably would if they could have gotten a good deal. But LA couldn't offer one.

[Mr. Body]

Probably would if they could have gotten a good deal. But LA couldn't offer one.

No. The Spurs explicitly wanted to move Kawhi to the other conference. And they would never move a franchise player to LAL.

[DAF86]

Aminu looks 50.

[baseline bum]

No. The Spurs explicitly wanted to move Kawhi to the other conference. And they would never move a franchise player to LAL.

Of course they were going to say that when the Lakers and Clippers were offering garbage and everyone else in the conference was scared off. Oh well, they're probably better off with DeRozan than had they made a trade with LA back when the Lakers could have offered the #2 pick since I imagine the Spurs would have picked Josh Jackson over Tatum.

[Kawhi’s_Conscience]

I don't get the Ingram hype at all and Kuzma is just energy off the bench.
ingram is whack. he has a derrick mckey ceiling.

i think lonzo is the best from that trio. he can still work on that shot.

[Mr. Body]

Lakers have the ugliest tattoos in the league.

[Kawhi’s_Conscience]

javale mc gee as a starter:lol
no shooters in place :lol
lets stack up on playmakers tho:lol

[baseline bum]

ingram is whack. he has a derrick mckey ceiling.

i think lonzo is the best from that trio. he can still work on that shot.

I agree Lonzo's ceiling is pretty high but his dad killed his trade value. No one wants to deal with that circus for someone who is not even an all-star yet. After how disastrous Rodman's end was in San Antonio I can't imagine Pop would ever want to take that kind of gamble again. And especially not when Ball isn't the all-star Rodman was.

[DAF86]

Lillard is such a low IQ player. I will be mad if we don't crush the Blazers on saturday.

[Bynumite]

kuzma is gettin so traded before the deadline :lol

[Kobe'sAchilles]

And people wanted Kuzma for kawhi lol

[D-Wade]

Stauskas kid can shoot

[DAF86]

Should have traded Kawhi for Stauskas when we had the chance.

[Kawhi’s_Conscience]

magic’s biggest mistake is thinking his roster can overcome lack of shooting by having multiple playmakers. aint gonna fly in this league especially if your d is non existent.

[daslicer]

Laker refs in effect. Lillard should have gotten a 4 point play but it was taken away.

[marinoman]

Cavs of the west

[DAF86]

Hart is starting next game.

[Kawhi’s_Conscience]

hart has the intangibles- reminds me of danny green.

[mystargtr34]

McGee
LeBron
Ingram
Hart
Lonzo

Thats really what LA should go with.. Rondo is only starting cause everyone knows he will pout like a motherfucker the moment he gets benched. Lonzo will develop faster as the starter and needs to play with Bron.

Those three bums aren’t worth a superstar player especially when the Pelicans will be much better than the Lakers.

[mystargtr34]

Look at Rondo's horrible ORtg and DRtg under the Per 100 possession stats.. dude has been a clear net negative since Boston's Big 3 got old in 2010.. he kills any offense you put him in and hasnt been a good defender since about 2012 pre-surgeries.

Those are DeJounte Murray type offensive numbers.

[Kobe'sAchilles]

I want KCP's agent tbh. 20 million last year to do absolutely nothing of value followed up with 12 million this year to be hot garbage. And he gets to live in LA? That dude earned his 10 percent and then some

[DAF86]

Lebron with some awful passes tonight. :lol

[Bynumite]

Lakers shouldn't have let Randle walk. They have no length, no inside presence and no rebounding outside of McGee and Lebron.

This bum Kuzma is a 1 dimensional chucker incapable of doing much else.

[DAF86]

Lakers are who we thought they were.

[Silver&Black]

:lol Guests own your asses

16 straight wins

There's no huge difference between Lonzo and Rondo. They're nearly the same player.

[TDMVPDPOY]

where all them laker faggots at....pulling a david copperfield disappearing act after a loss?

[Mr. Body]

Lakers look really weak inside, defense was bad at times, Josh Hart is a player, LeBron is gonna have to tug this team along, you can see why they only won 35 games last year. Absolutely terrible shooting team.

Portland's defense was a wreck at times, too.

[Bynumite]

There's no huge difference between Lonzo and Rondo. They're nearly the same player.

Lonzo's 6'6, Rondo's 6'0. Rondo is a dribble-dribble type pg, Lonzo gets rid of the ball fast. They're both trash shooters but Lonzo has time on his side to improve, plus he gets hot every now and then.

[Pelicans78]

randle was always going to be a lost cause.

He was their best player last year.

[mystargtr34]

There's no huge difference between Lonzo and Rondo. They're nearly the same player.

Agree right now there isn't.. but one is 20 and can improve.. plus he's 6'7' and can add something defensively.. Rondo is a liability on both ends.

[Mr. Body]

Lonzo's 6'6, Rondo's 6'0. Rondo is a dribble-dribble type pg, Lonzo gets rid of the ball fast. They're both trash shooters but Lonzo has time on his side to improve, plus he gets hot every now and then.

I didn't realize Ball was that tall. He plays much shorter.

[Pelicans78]

And people thought the Pelicans would miss Rondo :lol:lol:lol

[Mr. Body]

And people thought the Pelicans would miss Rondo :lol:lol:lol

Get rid of Cousins, get rid of Rondo = instantly better.

[DAF86]

The flaw is too evident to not do something about it. They will certainly make some moves to get more shooting. It obviously won't be enough though, too much shitness to overcome on the fly, tbh.

I still don't know what the fuck Magic was thinking when pairing Lebron with the Rondos, Stephensons and Beasleys of this World. Killakobe81 justifying that shit during the offseaon. :lol

[Pelicans78]

Ingram, Longo, and Kuzma are meh overall.

[TDMVPDPOY]

remember when laker faggots say their core is best package for kawhi deal?.....lol fkn one mans trash is not another mans treasure, padding empty stats on a shitty team

[Bynumite]

Ingram should be picking up where he left off last season, attacking the paint and finishing at the rim, that was his strength but for that he needs the ball. Lebron, Rondo, Lonzo and Lance is clearly overkill when there's only one ball on the court.

That faggot magic needs to quit sucking dick and get some shooters.

[Kobe'sAchilles]

I wonder what Magic was thinking. Was it something along the lines of: "hey i won 5 titles playing with the lakers and we didn't shoot any 3's so obviously that shot is overrated." I mean seriously, they were 0 for 15 from downtown at one point and I don't see it getting much better. They're gonna average like seven 3's made a game in today's NBA :lmao

[Arcadian]

"Motionless offense" by the Lakers :lol

Everyone just stood around while one guy iso'd half the time. How does an NBA team in 2018 not use constant off-ball motion?

man, I'm really disappointed with zo and ingram. zo is still invisible at times out there. ingram still can't hit a wide open jumper, smh. there shouldn't be any more excuses. they just don't have that dog in them. hart is the only young buck playing with fire. i just never see that passion in ingram and zo. I'm willing to give kuzma a pass, he's just missing some shots he usually makes and they plugged his ass to play center when he's a natural as a SF.

need shooters and another physical presence down low. mcgee is getting pushed around and he's only good for short bursts of energy.

that said, everyone expected this team to struggle. the 2011 heat had a rocky start and that was a much, much more talented roster. get us those shooters tho magic- your logic doesn't work here lollll

i still think zo is legit but he’s not gonna work in LA when you have rondo and lebron running the plays for majority of the time. and when they’re in the bench lance is ISO’ing with the second unit :lol

Good game son. The Guests looked good. :tu

[ambchang]

Likely some over reaction. Lebron is the best in 3 point assists. He will find shooters and if the players keep shooting them, they will make it at some point.

Magic already achieve his goal: to make the lakers relevant again. They are the talk of the town, players want to play there again, celebrities want to be seen at games again, people are putting their curry jerseys in the closet and buying Thr Lebron jerseys. That’s all that matters, rings are secondary.

[Ghazi]

The Lakers kinda just look like who we thought they were tbh.... Lebron + a bunch of dudes, no 2nd option, hell do they even have a 3rd option? Suspect defense, no shooters.

Just for adding the best player in the world this offseason was a success, but adding the best player to a 35 win team is like adding 10-15 wins... so the Lakers look like a 45-50 win team and that clearly isn't contender level.

[Raven]

He was their best player last year.

Hart was, but i don't think it's relevant when you have 0 chance to keep him or trade him..

Oh, so he's just an idiot then. "We are built as a playoff team." as he loses homecourt advantage in the regular season and loses to OKC/NO in the opening round

[Kawhi’s_Conscience]

Oh, so he's just an idiot then. "We are built as a playoff team." as he loses homecourt advantage in the regular season and loses to OKC/NO in the opening round
i gave you the wrong link- the reason why he doesn’t believe in shooters is because houston and the 76ers, known for their perimeter shooting, were both eliminated from the playoffs.


magic believes you cant outshoot the warriors but they can beat them through a fast uptempo and having multiple playmakers that can help create instant offense through efficienct passing


:lol

[DAF86]
