[TDMVPDPOY]

alot of western teams are like 1 game apart from each other in the standings...will come down to the wire who makes it or not for playoffs...

[Arcadian]

:lol Craptors blowing a 19 point lead

[D-Wade]

lol New look Philly losing to the Magic.

[Bynumite]

Kiwi dribbling the ball out of bounds off his foot on a potential game winning possession. Ball goes the other way, Pistons win :lol

I had money on the raptors and they blow a 19 point lead at home. Seriously, why do i even bother? :vomit:

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Nice play by Kawhi. The ol’ foot dribble.

[Kawhitstorm]

Nice play by Kawhi. The ol’ foot dribble.

Did all he could to let the black coach get redemption :fishing

[Ball Buster]

It has been an absolute joy to watch LeBron James play basketball in the purple and gold. :smokin

[KobeScored81]

This team is complete dog shit in the halfcourt offense

[Clipper Nation]

Nice play by Kawhi. The ol’ foot dribble.

I remember Eric Gordon doing that all the time when he was on the Clippers. No joke, it was a regular occurrence. It was infuriating.

[Ball Buster]

This team is complete dog shit in the halfcourt offense

It’s fucking November with a brand new team, and a rookie coach.

[JakeCuenca]

Spurs out of the playoff picture :lmao

[Laker_1995]

Refs really like Portland huh lol

[Killakobe81]

Finally a vintage Bron game..
Passes Wilt on scoring list..

[Killakobe81]

The effort on defense (at times) outstanding

[Thebesteva]

I’m ready to see the Lakers package BI and Lonzo out of here tbh

[HarlemHeat37]

Lakers could actually be nice if they didn't force-feed Ingram just to justify his draft positioning:lol he's so bad..

[Laker_1995]

Le Goat

[Killakobe81]

They had some good moments but I'm not opposed to a trade if it's worth it and we get something legit but I doubt we get something great so might as well stay patient...

[Killakobe81]

Come on he had some good moments, his shot selection though is poor

[Laker_1995]

Nurkic better chill. He lucky lebron didn’t fucking murder him like last year. Fagget ass nigga

[Bynumite]

I like Ingram but he's also on the last year of his rookie contract and he hasn't done enough to get paid. Paying a young player based on potential/ceiling is a huge gamble.

Lonzo's shot just looks like it's beyond repair and Rondo is Rondo. Having a PG rotation that can't shoot in today's NBA is stepping on the court with a handicap.

I know most of the damage was done during the Jim Buss/Mitch years, but how do you manage to draft solid role players and fail so miserably at drafting inside the top 10?

[Thebesteva]

Sadly I have more faith at this moment with Zo than I do with BI. Dont get me wrong...BI has some moments. He easily looked like the 2nd best player out there pre-season and I know Lebron playing side by side has destroyed his game.

But he has an incredibly low offensive IQ. That game could have been in trouble when he took a way too early 3 pointer with 2:30 or whatever the time was left with the Blazers only down by 10.

Magic Johnson...he's great at convincing players to come (perhaps) but it was glaringly obvious was Lonzo was going to be. Missing out on Tatum was idiotic and even Fox is more reliable imho.

[Jodelo]

:lmao Jazz

[LkrFan]

:lmao Spurts

I fucking hate it when he goes iso mode

imo the only mistake that was made was drafting Lonzo over Tatum

still , Lonzo shows signs of having a Kidd-like career.

Ingram is no star in my eyes but when you look back at that draft there just wasnt really any better talent to select.. same with the D’angelo clas

This...

[KobeScored81]

This...

I think Porzingis was available in the D’Angelo draft but he turned out better than ppl expected

pretty sure the Randle class was horrible

[Killakobe81]

Porzy was but I called his injury. Told everyone on here and got clowned that dudes his height are susceptible to lower body injuries...
Only great thing about drafting KP is maybe Lakers would have traded him for a drat before he is knee exploded. I doubt he ever becomes what he should that was a one star draft...
Also, okafor...:rollin

Pretty good observation there, Harlem. He always tries his to play above his skill level.

[RsxPiimp]

no one saw porzingis as a unicorn, other than phil. he had all the qualities of an nba bust. he’s euro white and tall :lol

weird thing about lonzo is he cant shoot mid range jumpers and finish at the rim when challenged by a defender but he’s pretty solid beyond the arc, especially coming off a screen or during catch and shoot situations.


lonzo has 3 ways to score. 3 pt line, via lobs and finishing a break with no defenders in front or behind him. reminds me of corey brewer during his rookie year.

[Arcadian]

:lol Utah Jizz and San Antonio Sperm

The good news is he can sometimes make 3s. The bad news is like you said, he cant make mid rangers or a play against a defender in the post to save his life. These games would be WAY easier if we had a decent PG.

[Ice009]

:lol Utah Jizz and San Antonio Sperm

Is Donovan Mitchell playing for the Jazz? How did Doncic play?

[StrengthAndHonor]

Yeah, Porzy came out of nowhere. Knicks literally hit the lottery.

yeah. i was thinking how awesome out second unit would be if we still have lou in that second unit. there are times where rondo simply stagnates the offense.

[RsxPiimp]

Yeah, Porzy came out of nowhere. Knicks literally hit the lottery.

definitely, considering how shitty that class is.
