The Sixers have to fire B. Brown, I have been saying this for over 2 seasons now. He can not get the best out of Embiid/ Simmons enough to compete for a championship. Both players have become too comfortable and the coaching staff are not holding them accountable!

He wasn't going to sign with us next season anyways cry cry
Might as well offload him now. Gallinari wasn't taking you guys anywhere anyway. Getting quality picks should be the priority. You're safely in the playoffs

Man f*ck the Knicks, and f*ck the Clippers. They hate the Lakers so bad they did the Morris trade just to spite us.
Lmaoooo you were expecting Marcus Morris? Based on belief? or based on logistics?

Why would he join a team with Rich Paul's clientele everywhere

Looking at what they took from the Clippers for him, I'd say they did it intentionally. It won't matter when we win the championship though.

I don't see it in Harden, AD as #1 guys that can lead a team to a title. Even Embiid has not showed that yet in my eyes

I have a little more faith in Jokic and Giannis


Hot take Bro. Jokic,Giannis and AD are around the same level as they all pretty much stil unproven in the Playoffs. Also Embiid's being such an Unfit f@#$er pretty much decided the Raps Philly series last year. His on/off point differential over the 7 games they played last season was Massive.

I know say you no like Harden so make I leave that one.

Guy the problem pass just Brown.

As usual you have a Ben Simmons that doesn't know when to be aggressive and give the team what it needs any given night. You played 36 minutes took just 6 shots and ironically made 5 of them. Embiid took 26!! Made just 6. The question is why were you looking while your teammates took 26 while you're taking just 6

What Championship? Lmaooooooo you guys are getting waxed!!

Apart from him, which other player from the eastern conference will make a starting lineup in the western conference?

He's alone in his own world now until KD comes back. East is the french league of the NBA

Now you are exaggerating. I don’t need to start counting but tons of Eastern conference players will make the starting 5 for Western conference teams.

HotTakesExposed would feature this soon if it were a tweet. Morris Sr. was averaging 19 points on a poverty team and you guys want us to believe he’s the second coming of Kevin Garnet undecided undecided. Would he have been helpful if he signed for the Lakers? Absolutely, without any shred of a doubt, but the Flippers have basically four of the same player, a team made up of four wing defenders would get exposed by a well balanced team. Don’t get me started about PG13 and his perennial choking tendencies.

To me it looks like they’re stacking up in preparation to defend the Rockets and the Blazers, but they’ll struggle against any team that plays more patiently over a 7 game series. The likes of the 76ers, Bucks and Lakers with length would match up better.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:56am On Feb 08, 2020
Langford can be really good for the Celtics.

This may be Vince Carter’s last appearance at the TD Garden and the Garden showed it’s appreciation.. Thank you Vince for all the memories at the Garden if we don’t see you next year.

Green and Kuzma for Morris, are they high?
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 8:31am On Feb 08, 2020
The Rockets got brought back down to earth. They'll wanna rethink their strategy going forward. I blame the Lakers for giving them some hope last night though...or perhaps that game came too quickly.

No Westbrook, No Gordon(left early) and on a back to back after a tough away game. I won't go that far just yet. I need to see this system with all players fit a little longer before coming to any conclusions.

Well you had no picks to offer bro. So they should sell themselves short because y'all are the Lakers?

This post is salty as hell. You wouldn't be dropping this salaye if he and the Knicks had chosen y'all

They don't have 4 of the same players. And if you say they do, kindly list them. He's a true PF that stretches the floor and is a body you can throw at AD and Bron, plus he can drag bigs out of the paint

I know Lakers fans are pained as hell.

Anyway this is what a potential closing lineup can look like come playoffs

Beverley- Williams- Kawhi-PG-Harrell

Williams-Kawhi-PG-Morris-Harrell

Lord have mercy

Bruh, you know he was posting that because they whooped the LAL at the Staple centre. It is from the same quarters that Giannis was wished an injury to protect Lebron's legacy.

Dantoni is not the issue. Morey feels like he is done, so he is going down swinging, and is about to take the franchise down with him. His biggest mistake was his trash talking China, which has cost the NBA about a quarter billion dollars already. To be frank, I had stopped watching Rockets games some weeks ago - I cant stand to watch the nonsense we put on the floor every night.
But D'Antoni is fully onboard. Make no mistake about it the roster is his brainchild. I think without an extension in hand he genuinely feels he has nothing to lose. Let them go out guns blazing

In my eyes keeping Capela was probably pointless since come playoff time he was never going to get enough minutes. The Rockets haven't been doing too badly, the worry is on nights the 3 don't fall your team is cooked

birdman:

Morey had a chance to curtail Harden when he had an issue with CP3 last season. But the fool with a phd can only see numbers. His emotional IQ is so low it cant be measured so here we are with a one man team. I wish someone would make him stand under the rim and get dunked on by a hundred midgets, until he grows some sense. But I can only hope.

Im not angry o, Im not angry

angry
Everyone knows how I feel about Morey. We are in agreement here

Leave story, NYK were never willing to trade with the Lakers to start with, remember the failed trade with the Pelicans for AD? The front office learnt from that experience and knew that whatever the offer from the Lakers would’ve been leaked to fück with the team’s chemistry. They rejected Kuz and Danny, only to trade him for a bag of chips from the Clippers.

Does it suck that we didn’t get Morris Sr.? Sure it does, feeling salty? Far from it. At the end of the day, it’s business, you win some you lose some.

I laugh at your lineup with Harell at the 5, AD, Dwight and Pierre will feast big time. Don’t worry about the Lakers, we’ll be good in the end, there will be players on the buy out market and with collison almost on the bag, we’re good.

Clippers came into the season the favs and was supposed to be this juggernaut team... Since then they have underperformed, and they snatched Marcus Morris so the Lakers wouldn’t have him & now want Reggie Jackson.

The Flippers has Lou, Shamet, PG, Beverly, Morris and they’re still insecure, how much help does Kawhi need?
