Montrezl Harrell is a certified beast. Sonning Anthony Davis pretty badly

This game don finish

Lebron wins the L tonight
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 6:11am On Oct 23, 2019
Somebody get Anthony Davis's soft behind off that court. This overrated dude really scored 0 points the entire 4th quarter.

This is who LeNomad's yesman swore would lead the Bucks to a title last season
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 6:17am On Oct 23, 2019
So the Clippers beat the Lakers. Cook and co missed wide open shots. Lakers had almost no shooting save Danny Green and Dudley (here and there), the LAL plan to play interior offense fell when the Clips packed bodies in the paint and Lebron is still good but not as good as before?

Okay. Nothing new.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:17am On Oct 23, 2019
This is the worst i've seen lebron play in a very long time. So passive and lethargic. Otherwise it wasnt too bad a game to be honest, a few positives here and there and many ways for the lakers to improve. I've seen this all before though.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 6:31am On Oct 23, 2019
And KCP men. 26 mins 0 pts grin grin

Aside Montrezl Harrell and Patrick Beverley who always literally play every game like it's their last it could be argued that the Clippers could have taken it another gear

I grossly underestimated the depth of this Clippers team.

Anthony Davis showed once again his lack of Alpha dog mentality. It's the 4th quarter, you're supposed to be the most skilled, most versatile, a top 5 guy and this ninja was waiting on Bron. Can now see why he didn't go to Boston. You can have skills and finesse but the heart is clearly lacking

LeBron needs more help, maybe Kuzma could be that 3rd guy grin. Anthony Davis has always been overrated. I hope for Lebron' s sake I am wrong though. LeBron got what he wanted, at least the bottom line. The new narrative will be Kawhi has a lot of help, they even took the might golden state to 6 games. grin
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:54am On Oct 23, 2019
The clippers are without Paul George BTW so really good showing from them. We knew they were going to be good because they're very close to full potential so its up to the lakers to keep improving. I still maintain the lakers have a higher ceiling than them.

The lakers have a lot of work to do as far as figuring out their rotation. Most difficult thing is most of their shooters are streaky, so its hard to know who has a hot hand on any given night and who doesnt. Hopefully the more consistent shooters reveal themselves as the season go by, obviously danny green will get his minutes but everyone else is replaceable though daniels and dudley have looked good so far.

There were glimpses of their defensive potential and it was refreshing to see lebron be engaged defensively but that second quarter was embarrassing. Definitely cost them the match. Why would you put KCP on Kawhi? The man is hopeless, supposed to be a 3 and D guy but he cant sink a shot to save his life and his defense is shambolic, we get that hes the "Rich Paul Tax" but that doesnt mean that convict has to play.

The worst aspect of the game was definitely their offense, i know rondo isnt the most popular guy amongst the lakers fan base but he would have been really helpful with shot creation. And lebron needs to stop trying to force feed AD and we need more of their pick and roll action moving forward. They will sort out their roles as the season progresses. I'm really not worried about them, they are too talented not to work out except if father time really is knocking on lebrons door. I've seen him play like this before and hes always bounced back so lets hope its just another "feel out game". The bench is what i'm more worried about, they got outscored 60-19, that is just putrid. Lets hope a lot of that is down to guys figuring out their role and lets hope kuzma can help with that second unit.

Its a marathon not a sprint. Cant stress how excited i am that the NBA is back.

I just dey drop facts. Is this the Anthony Davis that would have taken down Kawhi on the road to a chip with no help? You sef use your church mind gauge am nau

One more free tip. PG LeNomad will not work in crunch time. I have always told people he's very overrated as a passer/facilitator. He would cough it out more times than Max Kellerman on First Take.
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 7:22am On Oct 23, 2019
People have now come out with their little dingalings, talmbout AD is trash, LeBron ain't got it no more, bla bla bla. Put your little wee wees back in your zippers and come back after 82 games.

The Lakers are limited in their bench scoring and while they have the length to shrink the floor defensively, it does not spread the floor offensively for them because they lack perimeter scoring.

Ermmmm, I questioned the rationale behind chasing D. Green and he is proving me right.
This is another example of a hasty assessment

Does he worth 15 mil now?

82 games is too big a sample guy.

I told you Father time will be swift and brutal on Bron. It is left for the rest of the league to seize their moment. Which Kawhi is doing already

No one ever called AD trash. His mentality is what we question. We know he can ball so shut up

This narrative that Bron is still the best player in the league is what needs to die this year

Lol. AD will come good. I expect to see more from him as the season progresses. But watching the game today only reminded me of how GREAT KD is walahi. Then Giannis needs to work on his shooting and that freak will out of this world. Make we dey see how the season dey go.

Trolling? I'm not a teenager anymore, getting married soon, about to start raising an army of little ersans. Got some good things going for me in the real world, i'm way too old to be getting into pointless debates and trading insults with hapless people online. Your warriors dont look very good BTW.

AD is talented like I said he has all the gifts but you can't teach heart. I expect the Lakers and AD to bounce back.

However I have watched AD long enough to know mentally he's just not that guy in the clutch. There is still time to prove me wrong though. But look at a limited baller like Montrezl and how hard he went in the 4th and look at AD.

I shyte on LeNomad here Everytime but LeNomad actually has nothing to prove. His legacy is cemented among the second tier of greats behind Jordan. I saw no urgency from AD today and no will to make the team his own.

It might be early days but this is the West every win counts and as injury prone as AD can be load management will kick in. Every W counts

Any team that can crush the Lakers is a friend of mine. So if the Clippers win the title I don't mind

Warriors would be fine. We're not expecting too much
