Clutch Kyrie gives us the W, this is why we need him but he desperately needs to cut down the TO. Almost cost us the game. Morris needs to get in the gym and fix this shooting slump he is in right now. I kind of like the combination of Big Al and Baynes at the same time, we are going to need it if we are matched against this Pacers side. Their length is quite scary.

Charles Barkley will be going crazy right now with the Auburn win. Duke continues to march on, Bol Bol declares for the draft, the kid will be a nightmare in the NBA if he can stay healthy
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 7:18am On Mar 30, 2019
Just a reminder about the LeBron James effect. KCP went from 7 points without the king to scoring 25 points with him playing. LeBron James makes everyone better, PERIOD.

I'll remind you their record before his injury, 20-14.

We can't have both Mo and Zubac. And Mo is a better prospect than Zubac. Take that to the bank.

Shooters like KCP are mostly boom or bust. It doesn't matter if you pair them with John Stockton or Magic. One day he's Klay Thompson the next game he goes full bricko mode.

What are KCP's averages? He is a career 11ppg guy scoring 10ppg this season at a 43% clip so what is playing for LeNomad doing to his career?

The outliers prove my point. KCP gets his numbers on a good night LeNomad or no LeNomad so stop attaching credit to LeNomad when he plays well. Simple
When you want to use statistics to describe a player, it's best you use it fully. All of KCP's career he's been a starter. He's averaging 10ppg this season because his minutes has greatly diminished, coming off the bench for 23 mins pg down from 33 mins pg last year. He averaged 13 ppg last year and the year before. Now, if you're a good mathematician, you'll know that 10ppg in 23 mins is an improvement on 13ppg in 33 mins.

My problem with RJ is that he drives primarily to the left because he is left handed and when forced to drive right he struggles. He is also not a consistent scorer like say Reddish, Morant or Nastir Little. In comparison, today’s NBA suites Morant and Morant’s style of play and his skill set reminds me of D’Angelo Russell when he was in Ohio State.

Chuck is a free spirit and he has been decorating his own side of the studio with Auburn parafelias every time Auburn takes to the court and yesterday was no exception. It is funny because Kenny was boisterous and overconfident before the game started but live look one during different stages of the game showed a humble Kenny as the Tigers blew off TarHeels with their 3 point shooting, steals and rebound by committee. I just hope Okeke’s injury is not as bad, good to see him walk off the court on his own. He would be a huge loss if he is done.

The D Russ comparison is very apt(never thought about that comparison before), especially in terms of skill set. What Ja doesn't have in length he makes up with elite athleticism.

Your boy is too sensitive, he wears his emotions on his sleeves and feels the compulsion to react to everything. Good thing he plays in the era of social media so he has avenues to let out his tantrums.

Actually there have been rumours of magic wanting walton out long before lebron came. After Blatt got sacked the cavs won a chip and went to 3 straight finals. Try again small fry.
Ohh. You're a believer in rumours now? Magic has no personal beef with Luke. Stop it

Of course Blatt is to blame for Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving getting hurt.

YulisCromwell:
Whatever you want to call it, stop blaming lebron for pauls failings.
Like I said Paul cannot unclench his buttcheeks without LeNomad's blessings. Make of that what you will but don't make it sound like he was self-made

YulisCromwell:
If he was bad at his job not even lebrons influence will let players trust him with thier careers.
I might not be a fan of LeNomad but his influence is undeniable. He is really revered especially by His younger colleagues

YulisCromwell:
and they would be 5 games under if they were still six games under. Lberons injury left them worse off period.
Stop focusing on the irrelevant BS and focus on the fact that the Lakers had 31 games to get back in the playoffs. They were only 2 games behind.

It would have been better if he stayed injured. There is no excuse that can indemnify LeNomad for this disaster of a season

YulisCromwell:
As at february with lebron on the court

KCP: 39.8% on 7.2 attempts
Hart: 39.3% on 5.2 attempts
Kuzma: 34.5% on 6.4 attempts

Can you stop with the drivel now?
LMAO are you some type of comedian? We're talking an entire season you're bringing up a month?

Kuzma shot at 37% from 3 last season sans LeNomad and you're talking of February where he shot a poverty 34%.

YulisCromwell:

How many shots is he taking per game? That's what you should be looking at not the minutes. Unless there is a sharp drop in the number of shots he is taking then your argument is not accurate. If he's playing 48 minutes and taking the same number of shots as he did in 23 mins then same ni

Harden, CP3, Gordon and Capela have 88 of 91 points.
Other 4 players have played 70 mins and have 3 points.
Formula to beating Rockets is simple and they are most predictable team in NBA.

That team is the most top heavy in the league. It's unreal

I can't count how many times I've seen PJ Tucker play 40 mins and not score a point

You dont believe in the magic vs walton rumour but you believe in the lebron vs walton rumour. Hypocrisy!

You know a coach is bad when a GM admits they werent expecting to get lebron when they signed him. That was his first time coaching in the NBA, probably there to oil the tank machine.

Theres a difference between looking up to someone and doing something just plain stupid which is what relying on a sub par agent is. Self made or not, rich paul is good at his job.

Stop focusing on the irrelevant BS and focus on the fact that the Lakers had 31 games to get back in the playoffs. They were only 2 games behind.
But the damage had already been done, Ingram, lonzo and bron all played fewer than 60 games this season. That plus other unforeseeable factors. The lakers didnt make the playoffs because they arent good enough, they imploded.

It would have been better if he stayed injured. There is no excuse that can indemnify LeNomad for this disaster of a season
I can think of a billion.

LMAO are you some type of comedian? We're talking an entire season you're bringing up a month?
Small fry i said as at, meaning from the start of the season to February. I'm not sure much has changed since then. Read comprehensively, its part of your problem.

Kuzma shot at 37% from 3 last season sans LeNomad and you're talking of February where he shot a poverty 34%.
Hes shooting 30% for the season but with bron hes shooting 35%, thats an improvement on his overall average. You need math lessons? I can make a few recommendations for you.
