[TheCultOfPersonality]

Danny Green killing the Grizzlies with 21 3rd quarter points and having the Raptors fans chanting his name.

[resistanze]

:lmao Green going HAM

[resistanze]

45-14 third quarter. That's just disgusting.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Raptors outscoring the Grizzlies 45-14 in the 3rd. Danny Green outscoring the Grizzlies in the 3rd by himself. Well holy crap.

[Mr. Body]

Grizzlies are basically done. They need to dismantle and sell for parts.

[JokicParty]

Kuzma is damn good. Respect.

[Beartrucci]

Nba has got to decide if they're going to let guys get away with the two step travel before you dribble to fake guys out thing...it's such a HUGE advantage and refs are all over the place about it.

was thinking Lakers needed to be up 8-10 at end of quarter to have a chance. Not liking their odds if they don't come out hot in 4th.

[Deltronsbet]

Damn...we GOOD~

[Beartrucci]

There Gordon goes with the "we need a foul call to stop the momentum" obvious attempt at getting a foul call move...shit I hate the nba sometimes

Really can't be a more despicable team than the Rockets

Lance's air guitar dance is sooooo good :lol Warriors players take lessons on being affable.

[Laker_1995]

I hate HOU more than Boston tbh. I hate everything about harden and those refs

[Laker_1995]

Refs don’t call a travel even though he’s baseline . They get a 3 after. These refs I hope harden Tears his fucking ACL

[skin27]

:lolLakers

[Spurtacular]

:lolLakers

[Deltronsbet]

Nahhh we good, we;ll be allright

[skin27]

Giving harden anothe crack at 50pts

[Spurtacular]

Free point for the Lakers. Par.

[skin27]

Ingram playing great

[Spurtacular]

Oh, Caldwell Pope is out of prison, huh....

[skin27]

Fuck the lakers!! Not giving the spurs a favor

[Beartrucci]

Get a rebound over a 6'5" guy Zubac. Jesus Christ

[Deltronsbet]

Chill...dont u worry we got dis...

[Laker_1995]

How does harden get so many ducking calls

[Spurs 4 The Win]

These teams have combined for over 100 3s and Rockets have taken 68% of their shots as 3 pointers, how sad

[skin27]

Fuck cadwell pope!! Idiot

[Spurtacular]

They must not have had a hoop in the prison yard.

[Seventyniner]

Caldwell-P:lol pe

wtf are those screens he's setting, he's looking at the basket the whole time

[Spurtacular]

Didn't see the foul. Refs playing for double OT.

[resistanze]

Caldwell-P:lol pe

wtf are those screens he's setting, he's looking at the basket the whole time

KCP is a moron, wow

[skin27]

:lolKuzma

[Spurtacular]

Why would you pass it into a double team at the corner?

:lol Lakers

[Deltronsbet]

we will get a buzzer beating 3's and win it bro

[Bynumite]

Airball, followed by a turnover. Disgusting way to go out.

Pope needs to be thrown under the jail he's staying at.

[Mr. Body]

Too bad Lonzo got hurt. We could have gotten an even more spectacular fuck up.

[Deltronsbet]

i think we'll be alright and get it fix the next game

[Capt Bringdown]

The Los Angeles Tattoos

[RD2191]

Good for nothing worthless fucks lakers. :pctoss

[Laker_1995]

The nba is a reality show . I’m so tired of harden shooting 35 times and getting 20 free throws and getting praised for 40 point games. Fucken ugly mother fucker. I pray on everything he fucken tears his fucken acl or breaks his leg I hate that flopping son of a fucken fat ugly bitch.


Theres my venting for harden. I fucken hate him guys my bad lol

[Beartrucci]

I don't understand how KCP always gets so many minutes on decent teams. He's soooo fucking stupid and thinks he's Kobe or something

[Laker_1995]

Hou shot 15 FT in the OT? I guess

[Capt Bringdown]

[Kobe'sAchilles]

2 things from this game: 1. Brandon Ingram is done in LA. I think the whole Kawhi thing messed with his head in the off-season followed by the whole LeBron is going to get rid of you for AD. Dude is mentally weak (though to be fair he is only 21) and for his sake he needs to move on from LA. He doesn't fit with LeBron and he can't handle to spotlight that comes with being his teammate.

2. I think Walton needs to go. I see almost no improvement with any of the young players (except Kuzma) but when you have two #2 draft picks and your success story is the 27th pick in the draft, that's not going to cut it. Magic really put Luke in a tough spot and set him up for failure. Rondo and LeBron don't respect him and both think they are smarter than him. Lukes free flowing offense is the antithesis of Lebron and Rondo couple with Lukes inability to improve Ingram and Lonzo mean he is going to be out by the end of the year.

but but but but Walton led the warriors to a 23-0 start right?

I mean he is still better than Byron Scott who the Lakers are still paying :lol

Magic is who the Lakers should actually fire, but they're never going to do that. Every problem they have right now is the direct result of Magic being clueless about the modern NBA and how to run a front office.

I’ve never seen a front office guy let the media dictate his decision making so much :lol, he drafted Longo because Longo’s fucking dad said he should.

Ingram's had a bunch of subpar games this season. When he finally decides to takeover and scores 9 points in overtime, that's the game you come to the conclusion he's mentally weak and he's done in LA. Yeah, that totally makes sense :lol

There is no OT if he "takes over" the 48 minutes before overtime.

[Killakobe81]

Airball, followed by a turnover. Disgusting way to go out.

Pope needs to be thrown under the jail he's staying at.

This, tbh that airball and the follow up defense... On Eric Gordon three was trash. Andwhydafuck does that Nicca always turn his back halfway in the guy.on the guy he defends? I get opening up your stance to force him right but his defensive stance/positioning is awful.
That being said all the young guys even Ingram who has been looking shitty showed heart and their potential in back to back games...vs contenders on the road in prime time.
Crazy thing us Ingram was the prospect I was mist sure of.. But recently both Zo and Kuzma seem more valued as keepers or trade pieces.
Not giving up on him but his development has been do slow

[Killakobe81]

There is no OT if he "takes over" the 48 minutes before overtime.

Agree. Should have taken over when Zo left...

[Killakobe81]

Shut up with this bullshit narrative. You
Magic been fine.
ZO pick looks bad but showing some positive signs finally (then he gets hurt, again).
Even his knucklehead FA pickups and Tyson have all contributed to wins

Disagree wholeheartedly.
I don't love Luke, but development is largely on te player themselves and assistant coaches not head coaches. Not saying pop Kerr Spo etc don't play a part but naieve to assign most if that to a HC.
Now if Luke deserves blame it overreliance on his former Wildcat alumni on his staff and a failure to find a shooting coach which Magic suggested.

Crazy to say this after two of the best games by the young players, tbh.

Ingram actually looked good down the stretch here. Of course Austin Rivers was the one guarding him, giving up like eight inches in height. But he doesn't fit with the team because he probably doesn't fit with many teams. He has a weird, incomplete skill set at the moment but isn't good enough to feature.

Walton is gone regardless. It's what LeBron does. But this team is a junk drawer of weak batteries and broken screwdrivers and other crap. I'm not sure even Popovich could do much with this crew, much less a young coach. There's no clear direction from the front office or ownership and they let the kids run the coop for years because there wasn't an identity. They got rid of DLo because they thought he was a headcase - turns out he needs a winning culture, imagine! - ran Randle off, who is a competitive player, catered to Lonzo Ball and his family, let weedlord Brandon Ingram just sort of sit there doing whatever, and then surrounded LeBron with weirdos like Michael Beasley and Lance Stephenson. I mean, what the fuck is going on? This isn't Walton's fault.
