2020-21 NBA Season Thread

[lefty]

Lebron needs moer help!!!
So did Jordanne tbh

[Laker_1995]

Ok but be in for a big fail and defend how anyone can like LeRoid and DaQuit as superstars and the entire team?


I won’t lie I bashed Lebron heavily especially in Miami . I prayed the Spurs would fuck him up. But I’m. A laker fan first. I just have to accept him lol nothing else I can do

[Rummpd]

I can live with that reasoning.

[Rummpd]

Eager to watch Bucks tonight on TNT with a true emergent superstar loyal to his team and all that. They likely need one more piece (shooter) and if so can contend.

[Bynumite]

BI with a game high 24 and 1 rebound away from a triple-double in a win over the Raptors.

Imagine passing on this guy for Demar fucking Derozen :lmao

[bdictjames]

FT Giannis :wow

[phxspurfan]

CP0 0 pts so far...

[Darth_Pelican]

Nice win to start the season. Feels good to finally have a coach that understands the basics of basketball.

[phxspurfan]

Mavs aren’t making the playoffs this season. Calling it now. Bookmarking this post for my Monostradamus moment.

Pozingis out for the very first game. Is this china doll ever going to play even the majority of any season or what

[Rummpd]

Giannis just lost three peat on MVP you cannot fail on a game tying FT with Derek Fisher BS time left.

[Rummpd]

LOL Another Ball setting bad history

a 5-time MVP once missed a game clinching FT in the playoffs and his team lost the game

so yes, it does happen. even to the best of the best.

[Mr. Body]

Mavericks shoudln't be losing to Phoenix. I know Paul adds considerable weight and control to a roster, but I don't see these Suns as that good. Maybe they've changed.

[Rummpd]

Jordan and Russell both have 5 MVPs so which one? assume you talking about presumed GOAT (actually that is Jabbar)

[Neo.]

Jordan and Russell both have 5 MVPs so which one? assume you talking about presumed GOAT (actually that is Jabbar)

1) what does it matter which one? it's clear and obvious proof that all time greats and highly clutch players have moments where they screw up in the clutch, and that we shouldn't hold giannis to an unfair standard, especially over a regular season game

2) it was jordan, a guy known for being proficient at shooting FTs

[Jules_Winnfield]

:lol Luka looking like an out of shape fatass at 24 Hr Fitness right now

that's a big boy... needs to get his stroke back and he'll be fine

[JamStone]

:lol Luka looking like an out of shape fatass at 24 Hr Fitness right now

Well fortunately for him, he never relied on his blazing speed and quickness to be effective. He’ll get in better shape over the course of the season. He’ll be fine. Mavs may not be, but it won’t be because of Luka and any lack of conditioning.

[Spurtacular]

Another year of Slob slurping Donkey Dick.

[Mr. Body]

It's nice having NBATV. They'll play Atlanta facing the Grizz. Other words, teams ESPN or TNT won't pick up, they're too busy shoving the Lakers and Clippers down our throats.

It's been a decent game too (by t:loldays NBA standards). Better than the bunch of blowouts we saw yesterday tbh

[Mr. Body]

Memphis needs JJJ back in a bad way. They're competitive, just not enough.

Trae young is such a ref dependent, 3 point chucker faggot :lol basically the perfect embodiment of today's NBA tbh

Whoever gets Harden needs to build a strip club in the arena so everyone gets what they want

[lefty]

Siakam has no handles tbh

[D-Wade]

lol Haren in the clutch ... CJ stood pat.

[djohn2oo8]

Don’t care they were missing half the roster they still should have won. But damn Christian Wood looks legit

[djohn2oo8]

Holy shit Clippers

[Bynumite]

George Paul already in playoff form :lol

No more Harrell to carry the clips to wins when Kiwi is load managing :wakeup

[140]

Clips getting their shit pushed in:lol

[Robz4000]

:lol Cloppers

[Bynumite]

But Ty Lue will lead the clippers to the promised land :lmao

His best player sits out and the game's over in the 1st quarter. That Ty Lue coaching :lmao

[djohn2oo8]

:lol Ty Lue

[djohn2oo8]

Fucking 50 point lead

[TimDunkem]

[Laker_1995]

Holy Fuck. That score is insane lmao

Only 23 points in a half in today's NBA is beyond pathetic

[djohn2oo8]

Only 23 points in a half in today's NBA is beyond pathetic
Playoff P

[KaiRMD1]

Seem like the same ol Clippers to me

[Mr. Body]

I see Paul George really strapped this team on his back and carried them.

Hey, Lue, if your team is 1-18 from three, do something different. Change things up.

[djohn2oo8]

[Bynumite]

AD didn't play, Lebron only scored 18 and Lakers win by nearly 40.

STACKED :lobt2:

Pokusevski with B2B stops against Bogdnanovic and Mitchell. :wow

[Laker_1995]

Lmao dame and CJ ref baiting again. Fun to watch buy they flop so much lol

[Robz4000]

Same 'ol, same 'ol for the Guests. Cute regular season team.

[Laker_1995]

It took dame and cj crying like fucken bitches all game
Trent becoming prime curry
refs not calling no calls on Lebron

for these regular season overhyped scrubs to win lmao

on to SA

[Bynumite]

Of course some scrub with a career average of 7pts, goes off for 28 off the bench when he sees the Lakers :lol

Where were these Blazers in the playoffs?

[Laker_1995]

Refs have dame and cj FTs whenever they missed a couple shots lol . Plus a scrub averaging 5 points has 30 today lmfao. Watch this fagget have 7 points against the clippers

[Laker_1995]

Well at least Portland can enjoy their regular season championship. Just like the clippers they needed this one

[ezau]

You know this loss hurts Lakers fans with how much they're downplaying the Blazers right now. Good luck getting some good sleep tonight. :lol :lol :lol

[tlongII]

We just beat a team we’re supposed to beat. Nothing to see here.

[LkrFan]

We just beat a team we’re supposed to beat. Nothing to see here.

Both teams played hard :lol

[Rummpd]

Fakers fan acting entitled again after sublime *** bubble sham championship getting all the gift calls and beating weak badly hurt teams. They do NOT want any piece of Blazers in playoffs if later healthy.

[ambchang]

Do you guys think the defending champions Raptors can repeat this year? I think they just lot too much and would be lucky to get out of the 1st round.

[Rummpd]

:lol u mad

Lol someone about to get their eye poked with these Laker haters swinging erections over a Laker loss in game 4 of the regular season.

Lol Lakers thinking signing Montrezl was a great move.

What title that bubble aberration? You might as well be an entitled Fakers fan.

[Mr. Body]

Davis Bertans is a terrible player.

[ezau]

The 2020 championship should only count as a half championship, tbh. I'm surprised Silver didn't give the LOB trophy cut in half. :lol :lol :lol

[Robz4000]

:lol the Bucks of all teams have set the record for most three pointers in a game tonight

[phxspurfan]

Lonzo ball is such a below average player for how much he was hyped by the media and his father.

[Mr. Body]

So many national games are blowouts right now, it's hilarious. Just ugly, terrible games. Tonight it's NOP shitting the bed in a major way.

[phxspurfan]

Lakers have played 4 home games out of 4 to start the season. Guess how many other teams in the ENTIRE NBA have played 4 home games?

That's right, zero.

Eh, they'll still have to play as many road games as home games. Would rather have more road games to start the season to build team chemistry if I were in charge of making the schedule.

Wall actually has his speed back and looks good getting to the rim. They have a lot of good pieces. Whether they trade Harden or not

[Laker_1995]

2020 Spurs are the greatest shooting team in the history of the NBA. These mother fuckers do not miss . Jesus Christ

[Laker_1995]

Keldon Johnson a prime t Mac tonight lmfao

[Laker_1995]

These refs love SA lol

[140]

Clear offensive foul by lebron tbh :lol

[Laker_1995]

Spurs refs were crazy tonight and they still lose lol .

[Laker_1995]

Clear offensive foul by lebron tbh :lol
Should have watched the whole game pal. They made up for the 5 no calls

[daslicer]

That's a new staple of his game now. I remember during the Nuggets series he was allowed to run over guys on the regular.

Davis is making 16 mil per year.

[Dirks_Finale]

I watched that LA/SA game last night. Keldon looks good.... like maybe a 2nd tier star.

Spurs have some nice young pieces. Interested to see if they decide to package a few of them for an established star player or just roll with what they got.

And Derozan shoots 3's now? WTH?

Spurs fans, what direction should Pop go in here? Deal both Aldridge and Derozan and just feature Keldon as your guy?

[Mr. Body]

I think Aldridge may be done, sadly. I don't think either he or DDR get traded and I think DeRozan may stay with the Spurs after this year.

Spurs badly badly badly need good frontcourt players, but I don't see them trading any of the young guards for one. I do think that would be a mistake, although this year will be rough.

[Dirks_Finale]

So DDR and Aldrige coming off the bench this year?

Since you are a laker fan you may not know, but for most teams, that's how the game is actually called. You may just be too used to the homer calls to understand that a fairly called games to most people looks like a travesty to a normal Laker fan.

Davis is making 16 mil per year.

and worth every penny of it. While Lyles is not NBA level talent. Feel free to continue cherry picking 2 bad games worth of stats (for him and their whole team, which had a bad start) and extrapolating to his entire career to make your argument.

I am latvian, and proud of Davis. But that doesnt change a fact, that he is overpaid. 16 mil for a bench player is just stupid, if he is not a 6 moty.

What's wrong with LMA tbh?

[Robz4000]

What's wrong with LMA tbh?

Less than two weeks into the season and his knees are already in pain.

[phxspurfan]

He's not a bench player. Even if the Wiz are stupid enough to pay him and not start him. He could average 20 in any decent offense, easily. He could average 20 on the Knicks.

On a team like Milwaukee or the Lakers/Clippers, he would average 25.

[djohn2oo8]

Wall looked pretty good.

[Mr. Body]

What's wrong with LMA tbh?

He's old and breaking down. I remember the year Duncan just couldn't do it anymore.

[mystargtr34]

Gotta remember LMA is 35 going on 36 in June. 15 seasons.. 72 playoff games which is an extra season. Some guys can just fall off a cliff pretty quick.

Having said that though, as bad as he has looked in 3 games so far he still put up 19 a game last season on 52% on 2’s. Problem is he can’t guard anybody especially in today’s switching 4 out 1 in type of game.

Problem for the Spurs is Jakob is great on D but terrible on O, while LMA is the opposite. Ewbanks is terrible on both ends. Quite a dilemma for Pop.

[Dirks_Finale]

Didn't LMA start slow last year as well? I'm sure he will come around. I think many of these guys aren't happy with the lack of an actual offseason and never really got into shape.

I do think it's probably a good idea to bring both he and Derozan off the bench. Gives the many developing wing players you have more touches and speeds up development.

LOL

they cherry picked the years after Duncan's MVPs and 2 rings... ofc

never mind the fact he needed store bought super teams and ran away from those teams 3 times so he could play with younger players, while the Spurs drafted their big 3 and pivoted 3 times in strategy to win their rings. In a murderous Western conference, facing 6-7 game series just to make it to the finals every year, while LeBroom got to play 40 win teams in first round byes in the lEast.

Also Spurs in a no name market against some really favorited/heavily league marketed teams, while the NBA/BSPN was just wishing for them to go away since they didn't play into the Hollywood vibe.

[djohn2oo8]

Clippers trying to blow a 30 point lead

[mystargtr34]

Steph hanging 45 on midgets CJ and Dame 24 hours after they talked their shit. Those two are career chokers and losers when the bright lights come on.

[mystargtr34]

Through 3 quarters I might add.

[phxspurfan]

ok this is mildly entertaining NBA 2k shit

[phxspurfan]

[Bynumite]

Good to know Fat Antonio fans are still as delusional as ever, even when their team is bottom of the barrel :lol

They will trash Ingram, claiming he puts up empty stats. When in reality, BI is a legit all star and the best player on a playoff team.

Then turn around and overrate the young scrubs in Fat Antonio, when none of them are anywhere near all star caliber.

Never change Fat Antonio fans, never change :lol

We aren't arguing about Ingram, we're arguing about valuing our teams' young players. I never said Ingram wasn't a good player, I said he was empty stats. DeMar DeRozan "led" the Raptors to the playoffs multiple times with the Raptors and was a multi-time All Star; doesn't change the fact he isn't a winner. Ingram hasn't even been the best player on a playoff team in his career yet like you're claiming.

I'll say with confidence Keldon Johnson > any of the Lakers' young scrubs.

[phxspurfan]

Luka 33-16-11 who needs Kristaps? Didn't know he had this game in him. Attacking triple teams, playing with the refs... Truly a superstar.

:lol there it is again. We're two weeks into the season bruh, ain't no playoff teams yet.

Speaking of DeIngram, he was putting up 16 PPG during his second season on your lottery Lakers. Difference between him and Keldon is Keldon is doing it a lot more efficiently with better defense. You need to go back to your Horton-Tucker thread and lay in your mess.

It's the reason why the Warriors had great interest in LMA up until Klay got hurt. Still surprised no other contenders have show interest in LMA since he's one of the few guys that gives AD problems.

[Bynumite]

A ring and a new contract and AD's turning soft and complacent. No hunger for more right now.

[DAF86]

Enjoy this win you assholes. See y’all next year lol

You may get the chance to gentleman sweep us in the playoffs, tbh.

[mystargtr34]

Yeah I think if Klay didn’t get injured the Warriors would have made a push for LMA knowing that he can basically cancel out AD. He usually outplays him H2H.

LMA
Dray
Wiggins
Klay
Steph

That’s a contender tbh and would have matched up well with Lakers.

This is what the Nyets signed up for tbh. They knew going in Kyrie was a headcase.

yep, but it was the only way they could get KD at the same time since they're best buddies or w/e. Regardless, unless this latest sh!t is due to some serious, clinical mental illness I seriously hope nobody touches this f***** again and his NBA career is over. Saying weird crap over social media is one thing, but selfishly going full "ooga booga" and screwing over your teammates and jeopardizing other people's jobs (by making your team worse and losing more games) is a whole different animal

Red won rings during the Jim Crow era. There was like 8 teams and no free agency.

That meant their stacked team could not be broken up. Bill Russell, their best player, couldn't even eat with the team. Couldn't spend the night at the same hotel, etc.

I guarantee you if he could have left he would have. If he left how many rangs would that MAGA loving coach have won?

Pelicans don't look good. Badly built team that seems rudderless without a leader. I still don't believe in Ingram and Zion isn't stepping forward to be team leader -- because Ingram ain't it -- but I don't think a bulky PF can play that role in today's NBA.

My top 5 all-time coaches

Red Auerbach
Larry Brown
Phil Jackson
Steve Kerr
Greg Popovich

Honorable Mention: Ty Lue, Eric Spolestra, Steve Nash

[Rummpd]

Here is a name to throw out from way back when - John Kundla with 4 NBA championships and another championship and top ten named NBA coach all time. https://www.basketball-reference.com/coaches/kundljo99c.html A real Lakers coaches when the team actually had lakes around the area.

All the coaching stats here.

https://www.basketball-reference.com/coaches/NBA_stats.html

Although this stats don't reflect it with a 0.525% willing percentage, Dr. Jack Ramsey - who won a title was seemingly a great coach before he moved into announcing.

Three great coaches no titles- Jerry Sloane, George Karl and for a short time per record = Larry Bird.

Larry Brown with only 1 title had a history of turning around teams but then his teams leveled off.

NO with a bad roster and the wrong coach. Wasted draft picks to get Stephen Adams. Lonzo Ball looking at his next destination. Ingram and Zion are neither of them leaders or hugely impactful beyond putting up scoring stats when the game ain't on the line. Zion maybe the worst defender on the team. Whose team is this?
