Roland17:If na to dîck ride the rookie you'll see them out here. Julius Randle handling Demarcus and KCP really brought the game. |

The pelicans bombing is the best news for the Cavs so far this season. Boogie! We're coming for you! |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 4:44am On Oct 23, 2017 |
Friggin Lakers! Can't believe I'm actually supporting them. Please don't blow this. |

Davies just rejected Lonzo's layup like a volleyball spike. no kidding . |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:49am On Oct 23, 2017 |
WeissBarlow: The inexperience is showing now. Numerous turnovers and unnecessary 3 point attempts, I guess they are scared of Davies under the rim. |

Roland17:I think it has a lot with the PG not being a shooter really The league has changed a lot, you have to be able to shoot to command the floor these days. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:57am On Oct 23, 2017 |
Donlittle: You are right, especially when the game is on the line. He needs to overhaul his jump shot mechanics, he is quite talented but not for this era. He would easily get run over by opposing PG especially considering he is a liability defensively. |

rotimi9: stuffing the stats you say...!!!! did you know that Melo and PG13 have taken more shot than Westbrook individually...... yet Westbrook is more efficient than they are.... ***food for thought 3 Likes |
Re: The NBA Begins by ipledge10(m): 6:16am On Oct 23, 2017 |
Donlittle:thats what I noticed in that lakers team. Their first game clippers was so poor, seems like nobody can shoot in team |
Re: The NBA Begins by AndrewFarms(m): 6:19am On Oct 23, 2017 |
rotimi9: you're wrong about LeBron bro... while at Miami, his usage was up while Wade and bosh had to reduce their usage and shot..... same at Cleveland also that's why kyrie had to leave mehn.... One thing about basketball is that true alphas never drop their usage even if another star joins them..... examples of true alpha include LeBron, Kobe, Magic Johnson, Melo, Westbrook, Curry...... I even salute Westbrook for him trying to accommodate two stars while still being himself...... if you check it out PG13 was killing the game by missing his shots, so Westbrook had to step up in the 4th quarter.... 2 Likes |
Re: The NBA Begins by AndrewFarms(m): 6:25am On Oct 23, 2017 |
rotimi9: Harden left and the closet he got was western conference finals... Kd had to play with 4 other stars (Steph, Klay, feet, Iggy) before he could get his first ring and counting .... oladipo was never going be a starter in the west so he was given an easy way out....... PG and Melo haven't found their rhythm yet...... Westbrook even more efficient than they are..... 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by AndrewFarms(m): 6:29am On Oct 23, 2017 |
SmooshCHN: for me, Westbrook doesn't need to change a thing..... he's perfect just the way he is...... if only John wall had his mentality...... wall would have been to the Eastern Conference finals atleast twice..... You need a big Dawg to get to the finals..... |
Re: The NBA Begins by AndrewFarms(m): 6:32am On Oct 23, 2017 |
rotimi9: oladipo is in a weaker conference mehn.... how many all NBA defensive players are in the east..... each team in the west has Atleast one except for a few, Buh in the east how many...?? |
Re: The NBA Begins by AndrewFarms(m): 6:35am On Oct 23, 2017 |
Roland17: theses four are so underrated in all Lakers site around the world and am always happy when they prove our so many doubters wrong..... I've got more faith in Randle than in any of them...... Lonzo is trying to be like magic except there's no KAJ to bail us out on this team.... |
Re: The NBA Begins by Hardetayour: 6:40am On Oct 23, 2017 |
Roland17:They don't even need to tank on their own, they're not just good enough. Bledsoe even Tweeted he doesn't want to be there. |
Re: The NBA Begins by aliondo: 7:12am On Oct 23, 2017 |
Hardetayour: Wow...and that Bledsoe would be a fantastic acquisition.... |
Re: The NBA Begins by aliondo: 7:15am On Oct 23, 2017 |
AndrewFarms: I bet you..once Melo and especially PG have found their rhythm...there wont be any cause to criticize westbrook except he starts hogging the ball .. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 7:28am On Oct 23, 2017 |
AndrewFarms: You are right when u say Russ has taken less shots than pg and melo.however, he ain't efficient than em despite fewer shots. Hez got .432 in FG%, .330 in 3P% and .835 in FT% with a whooping 5.1 turn overs per game. While melo has got .430,.348,.824 in field goals,3 points and free throws averaging 22.7 points per game and 2.3 turn overs per game.outclassing Westbrook in 3 points made Even Paul George who we say is underperforming is averaging .448,.386,.880 in field goals made,3 points made and free throws made wit only 3.1 turn overs per game. PG outclasses Westbrook in almost all points averaged U c my friend,Westbrook might b trying to adapt and play some team ball,good,but he ain't a leader,makes poor decisions,takes uneccesary shots with a bery high and annoying usage rating Both melo and PG have been far more efficient than Westbrook in the last 3 games . |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 7:44am On Oct 23, 2017 |
AndrewFarms:the east might b weak but Ind regular season u also get to play with teams in the opposite conference . |
Re: The NBA Begins by AndrewFarms(m): 8:42am On Oct 23, 2017 |
rotimi9: 1/4 of their 82 games are against western conference teams while the remaining 3/4, against Eastern Conference teams.... I bet they'll win up to 50% of their Eastern Conference match-up Buh they will never ever stand the chance against western conference teams except against the sun's and kings |
Re: The NBA Begins by AndrewFarms(m): 8:42am On Oct 23, 2017 |
rotimi9: only time will tell bro..... |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 8:47am On Oct 23, 2017 |
AndrewFarms:Ok Sir, I hear you. I don't need to talk much since you ignored all the other things written there just to defend Westbrook. I hope they keep playing ISOs especially in the playoffs. That ISO or one man mopol will carry them deep into fishing after First round exit. |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 8:53am On Oct 23, 2017 |
So Lonzo had - 22 plus minus when Lakers tied the game but Luke Walton brought Lonzo back for no fûcking reason. They even give you the stats while the game is going on.. The boy ended up with - 26. Talk about trying to please the Mumu fans and riding the media hype instead of doing your job. |
Re: The NBA Begins by AndrewFarms(m): 8:54am On Oct 23, 2017 |
rotimi9: Westbrook numbers are cool for a point guard with high usage of Atleast 20% on a contending team and besides apart from Chris Paul and Jose Calderon, how many point guard attempts fewer TO's less than Westbrook with Atleast 25% usage and also 30min playing time...... Even LeBron who's a point forward averages 4TO's not to talk Harden, wall, and so on..... so TO isn't an excuse..... and what kind his fga was his second match were he made 2 out of 8 shots or so..... maybe after 20 games, then we can have a review on OKC and besides PG13 and Melo are suppose to be his Robin while he is Batman and not the other way around....... 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by AndrewFarms(m): 9:02am On Oct 23, 2017 |
SmooshCHN: that's cuz you were blaming Westbrook for making Harden, Durant and oladipo go like he was the cause were as its all business that made management allow Harden and oladipo go while Durant left on his own accord.... the current OKC coach was employed cuz of Kd, to make him stay and not Westbrook, harden was let go cuz they were looking at the salary cap, oladipo ain't better than pg13 and both were in their last year of their contract, so OKC management got the better out of pacers, so how's Westbrook the cause of all these transactions...... 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 11:54am On Oct 23, 2017 |
AndrewFarms:bro getting to the western conference finals ain't shit bro.ask Chris Paul one of The greatest point guards of all time.with 2 all stars the clippers were all talk,not getting past d second round.ask T- Mac a recent inductee in the hall of fame,he never got past d second round in his prime with yao ming. But James harden got there being [b]the only all star [/b]that team,yet u mention it like it's nothing. If harden and Westbrook switched teams,okc would do better.not just an opinion but a fact Cus harden is a way better leader Dan russ,who seldom trust his team mates.harden or kd wouldn't have gotten better like they are now if they stayed in okc. |

Back from my ban. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 12:23pm On Oct 23, 2017 |
So apparently,balling vs tired legs makes you the best player on the Lakers roster... Good to know. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 12:25pm On Oct 23, 2017 |
SmooshCHN:Yes...Luke Walton should not have put back in the best player in his team. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 12:28pm On Oct 23, 2017 |
Brandon Bïtchgram showed up in his normal self yesterday,the shïtcünt. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 12:28pm On Oct 23, 2017 |
John Wall won't know what hit him tonight.

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 12:30pm On Oct 23, 2017 |
Should have had more,but the spastics he plays with were missing open layups from 1metres out like it's 2k.
