Warriors till infinity and beyond. It's really a great thing that the new draft picks are stepping up .

Hahahaha, same people who slandered and wrote off LeBron and the Lakers after the Clippers' loss. GTFOH bro

The double standard is nauseating, they’re quick to point out that LBJ is all washed up after the Clippers game. Now they’re saying it's too early to say how good the lakers are.

I also noticed that no one is talking about 2-way plays since LBJ has stepped up his defensive contributions

PEDs have always been present in the NBA. I'm guessing the younger dudes arent very good at masking and cycling or that NBA testing is becoming more stringent and if thats the case, expect some high profile scalps soon.

I know people are praying the NBA get lebron next. LOL They wouldn't dare!

Yuup. KCBrick back at it again.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 3:00am On Nov 06, 2019
A lot of people joked that the lakers would probably lose to the bulls. Not so funny now is it?
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 3:10am On Nov 06, 2019
Kyle Kuzma stinks like the devils arsehole right now.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 3:15am On Nov 06, 2019
AD has gone missing in a game where hes supposed to make a statement. SMH.
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 3:18am On Nov 06, 2019
Boy, the Lakers getting bodied by the Bulls. If you want to troll the Lakers, this is your chance.
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 3:20am On Nov 06, 2019
Coby White's midrange is legit though.

Yea, thanks to the bench. Kuz, Dwight, Cook and Caruso have been massive in the 4th.

On a more concerning note, AD almost threw this one away. If it's this easy to get into his head thats a problem.

Ayton was caught trying to mask the PEDs he had presumably already used. I get the OG vets but these young pups are too young for this shyte. A second strike is 55 games and a third will see them wind up like Tyreke Evans

LeNomad is the cash cow I'm sure he has Diplo immunity
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:02am On Nov 06, 2019
While I suspected this Lakers team would be deep I must say I am surprised at just how deep they are. They went on a 16-0 run with LeNomad on the bench. Even if they get found out by the Clippers it's pretty clear they will likely beat up a lot of less loaded teams to get a very high seed regardless

Jackson had to utilize his biggest strengths with are his feet and elusiveness to cement his place as the starting QB for the Ravens last season. I think this was the right thing to do considering it was his first season as the starting QB, it would have been risky to restrict him to being pocket QB. Credit to J. Harbaugh for recognizing that and allowing the kid play to his strength during his first season, this helped build the confidence to strengthen other aspects of his game.

You already know how I feel about my GOAT but you are right, outside of Christian McCaffery who has 13 touchdowns, I don’t think anyone comes close to Wilson. It’s between Wilson and McCaffery for me with Wilson number one thus far.
I am in agreement with that. He did the needful but got badly exposed when they faced the Chargers in the playoffs. Where he put up arguably the worst QB performance ever.

He has clearly improved on his throwing which is a must especially in games where he would have to come from behind. Fortunately for him he also plays on a team with a strong defense.

Lool goat with just one Superbowl appearance. Una too dey overhype that guy abeg. Wilson, McCaffrey in that order
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 6:22am On Nov 06, 2019
I don't know how you watch Trae Young and still question the Steph ceiling comparison. I really don't. Even me I was a doubter before but I've been convinced

I agreed with this already even as a Steph fan. The boy is legit. I don't get the "it's too early" excuse. His only problem is his efficiency and shot choices like he did in the first quarter in yesterday's game but this is normal for a rookie and he adjusted. That boy is good.

Most of those comment were more about LeBron losing step due to father time more than being washed. See ehn, maybe you guys should stop seeing every comment you don't agree with as a slander.
The lots came to talk about how Curry is no longer the best point guard in the league after two games.
So perhaps you should chill with the double standard thing.
Yes, LeBron has stepped up playing better on ball and help defense this season but folks can't really say much for his defense when he has been known to avoid guarding guys who can be as good as he is like Kawhi, KD several times in the finals, Giannis,etc because those moments stick to memory. Many times last season when he wouldn't switch on defense and gesture asking where the help was when it was fault for not switching. One time it got so bad Kuzma had to push him to pick up an open man. So, it might take more than 10 regular season games with defensive guys like Dwight and AD to convince some people who don't remember him for his defense because of history and yes we always see those chase down blocks on small boys. grin
Anyways, he has been playing good on both ends for the most of this season and the other day I raved about his performance one LeMinion was saying I was 'famzing' because I don't ride LeBron's díck. I even talked about the Lakers playing like they can win it all but as usual, you don't see all that except Ersan. It's not double standard if people here keep quiet because to you, it must be the good stuff about LeBron or nothing.
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 8:06am On Nov 06, 2019
People should keep getting excited it is allowed.

Denver had a better start last season. Bucks were the winningest team.

Still crashed out.

All these premature celebrations Is what I don't get when later on, we would be reading how he is alone and has no help.

Nobody said the LAL will be arse. We said head to head against the Clippers they will be found wanting.

It's never too early to project. That's what is intended. You see a player's skillset and suggest that this player can reach this ceiling if he keeps improving. Even at this point his efficiency is the only glaring flaw I can see. As for passing and playmaking he is not that far from Steph

I'm glad to see that we're beginning to change your mind a bit. But you're not there yet, I want you to be a total convert. Maybe we have to beat the Clippers for that to happen. And I promise they'll suffer at least two defeats in the hands of the Lakers this regular season, and at least one would be a blowout.
