The black mamba (R.I.P) would have turned in his grave at this travesty, imagine going to three OTs only to be outfoxed by Fox himself and hield , Defense virtually non existent The lesser said about LeBron the better, Sacramento throughly deserved this victory

The team is too old to play any consistent meaningful defense in the regular season
Secondly, Vogel may need to go.
Thirdly, Westbrook played well today but he just doesn't fit with LeBron. He needs to be traded.

Or are we?? wink wink

You should know by now that Curry has many haters here

Someone saying Phoenix are the best team in the East. I had no problem with that since phoenix are also balling. But then, he goes on to say..unless Lebron bla bla bla. Lebron has been playing and I am at a loss what else you want him to do

GSW and curry don't get enough respect here. I have said it here before. The haters are waiting for a loss before they start talking

Hate no good oo. E dey make people develop grey hair fast, Una hear?

In case you're referring to my post above :
For your information, I am actually a big warriors and steph fan so your point is moot.

You obviously don't know how to differentiate an objective basketball fan and a hater.
Saying LeBron may still figure things out with the lakers is not a far fetched hypothesis or hating on the warriors..

No matter how bad the lakers are today, no true student of basketball will write off a Team that has Lebron, AD and lots of Vets


As for why I think the Suns is better than the warriors, it's more a recognition of the fact that they recently got to the finals while the warriors have been going through a rocky time in the last 2 years. They also have a good big but the next 2 games between both teams will give us a lot of information. Lastly we can't sleep on the clippers if Kawhi comes back, so let's just see how things play out. It is still early days.

Experts in the house without bias and emotional sentiments what do you think is the problem of lakers so far.
Cos i find it hard to comprehend how a team with LBJ,AD and russ would struggle to put teams away

1. Age :The squad is full of old timers and with older age comes inevitable decline even if it's slow, Injuries and inability to play laser focused defense every night

2. LeBron and Westbrook are both ball dominant and westbrick is a nut case

3. Lack of perimeter defenders, losing Caruso and KCP at a go was a mistake

4. Suspect coaching decisions by Vogel, he shouldn't be sacked but he needs quality assistant coaches

5. Lack of Shooters.

I'm convinced these teams have sworn a silent pact to humiliate the Lakers every night. No way Sacramento plays this hard against any other team. The Lakers have had the easiest schedule and yet there's not been a game that has not gone down the wire for them. They have now blown 7 double digits. 7!!

You see why I am so frustrated with the Sacramento Kings? They have a decent core to win games in the Western Conference.

38.3% on midrange — worst in the NBA by any player with 100+ attempts.

Best big man in the league my foot. Bubble Davis made Lakers fan start comparing him to Duncan grin.
He's a star player no doubt top 20 and potentially top 5, if he's fit and motivated but best big? No way.

The problem is that the Lakers are still constructing the roster around LeBum as the center piece which makes it quite difficult. After they won their "Mickey Mouse" ring, they should have moved on from LeBum to building the roster around the strengths of AD. Now you add Westbrik and you have 3 players who want the ball all the time.

Been saying this since before the season. There was at best a big 2 on this team. Love what Melo is doing, but he is a journeyman at this point. Westbrick is a negative. I do not see this team getting past even the first round of the playoffs. If Lebron tries to compensate and play like he used to 3 or 4 years ago, he will likely get injured and it will be the end. The only way this big 2 was going to work was if AD became the best player on the team, like I said last year.

Such a shame that in his 18th,19th year LeKing still has to play like this. Shildren of nowadays angry

Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 5:04am On Nov 28, 2021
John Wall's situation is an interesting one. He originally agreed to sit the season out so Rockets can develop their young players but now he has changed his mind and wants to be playing. I really don't understand the original decision because irrespective of the direction the Rockets are going, Wall needs to be playing. May be they are worried about him getting injured again before a trade happens but if he continues to sit out he will struggle to adapt to the pace of the game if he joins a contender.

Back to where? He's been worse than Westbrook this year IMO. He's a finesse Westbrook. Notice any night he has less than 10 FTs how he looks so gnarly while spamming assists and rebounds like Draymond Green with beards and braids

I personally think birdman's otumorkpo is at work because how is a guy niggas swore was a #3 SG of all time and most dynamic scorer ever looking like Raymond Felton all cause of a rule change

Durant has entered one chance bayi. He better pray Lamarcus Aldridge keep drinking from that fountain of youth
