Kobe be like "just win baby" LeBroom be like sorry coach I can't

[Bynumite]

You know it's not your night when Hassan Whiteside is hitting turnaround baseline fadeaways.

[Mugen]

What a beautiful tribute by LeBron tonight shooting 9/22

[Laker_1995]

Tough game
tough loss

Damn, bad loss but Portland has played great lately and Lillard is putting up god like numbers. Hassan balled out too. Need that all star break to get passed all the emotional stuff. We’ll be alright

Was the “emotional stuff” also holding back the team against teams above .500 when the sexual predator was alive & kicking?

"The game's in the refrigerator, the door's closed, the light's out, the eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard and the jello's jiggling."

Dame is one bad mother er.

[UZER]

Lebron just can’t anymore at the elite level.

And AD can have 35 points an still be a non factor.

[Laker_1995]

Dame is one bad mother er.

Not fair man. Can’t believe I said dame was the 3rd or 4th best PG last year. RN he’s #1

[Spurtacular]

Lebron got to LA two years too late. Hes on his last “great” legs.

Davis not enough, and Kawhi wasn't fooled into building up his legacy for him.

I didn't wanna say it at the time, but during the pregame when they had 8 and 24 on the court, I was wondering why they had Kobe's shooting stats on the floor.

lol. Fool man

He loves it here. And we love him.

[LkrFan]

I'm messing witcha, of course.

I was stationed in Washington state. I've been to PDX. As far as where I would rather live? PDX >>>>> LA tbh. I don't blame Dame for loving it up there. Seattle is nice too.

[Jeremy]

Slow your role bruh. Luka >>>>> PED user tbh

Imagine Luka and Booker as your foundational players for a decade

Would have to change their name to the Phoenix Funs

Why is this PED thing such a common myth? Ayton never used PEDs, PEDs were never detected in his body, there has been zero evidence of him using PEDs. He took a diuretic, word on the street is that it was to mask his marijuana use.

Luka would not even be doing half of what he's done in Dallas if the Suns had drafted him. Booker and Doncic simply would not mix well together, and Doncic would have had to defer to Booker.

I would not trade Ayton for Doncic straight up even now. We already have a great guard, what we needed was a defensive and rebounding anchor at center, which Ayton is quickly becoming. He also has the potential for greatness on the offensive end, and will likely be over 20 ppg by the end of this season. It takes awhile for bigs to adjust to the NBA.

As far as who will end up as the better player, only the next several years will tell us that. But Ayton was the right pick for the Suns at #1.

very similar to the Hakeem/MJ decision

Hakeem was the better pick for Houston for what their needs were at that time, despite MJ being the superior basketball player

Ayton was the better pick for Phoenix for their needs, although Luka is both the superior basketball player, and has a higher ceiling

Pretty much this.

and in each draft the #2 pick was the real bust.

[monosylab1k]

Jalen Brunson crapping all over Trae how did this guy get voted a starter?

Dame with 23 at the half, he's been playing insane lately. Sucks this will end up being a wasted season for them(por).

Son MJ wanted no piece of Hakeem in the 90s

[Laker_1995]
