400th career TD for the GOAT.

7th player to reach 400 but he did it with the fewest games played.

@A40 come out now oh!!! I know you don’t have RESPECT.. BOUNCE OUT!!! Come and pay homage to the GOAT!!

That flat track bully. When he faces a quality defense now you will see struggles. All he's done in 13 years small boy Mahomes has eclipsed in two seasons

Your guy beat Mitchell Trubisky last week and Carson Wentz this week. Literally the two worst QBs in the league.

1 Superbowl in 10 years nigga I can divide

I knew this day was coming...I am happy I am alive to see it ..I am glad you are finally seeing C. Wentz to be the scam I have been trying to show you for over a year now.

That being said, you of all people should know that you beat what is in front of you and it is the NFL!!!

steady986:

We have only 3 point guards, including Cook. He should see more minutes

Aha this is exactly why I think he’ll play even less minutes.

DeeMain:


Did not fully understand the rationale for re-signing Cook. Wasn't used much last season and signing another centre as back up for Gasol seemed the logical thing to do.

What we needed was a center and point guard, and Pelinka opted for the latter. You know there could be injuries, there could be suspensions too. And with this team that we have, there's going to be lots of blowouts. You don't want Caruso or Schroder playing blowout minutes. As for the center position we have Cacok and Kostas who can play those minutes. We're likely to get a center though in the next agency, when our hard cap softens.

I don't really care for Carson Wentz. He had a good season in 2017 but he's been mostly mediocre since. The Eagles deserve a Wentz especially when you remember how their fans used to boo McNabb. Now they are stuck with him for another 3 seasons.

Seriously you can't be bragging about beating a QB everyone else has outplayed

Harden confirming what Ive been saying for some seasons now. Even if most ardent fans have put down the kool aid

Let's hope Gasol remains healthy and in form throughout the regular season and until we can get another centre. I know that Trezz and the others can fill in well in certain match ups. Lakers were big on defensive rebounds last season. They now have smaller guys and a slower but more cerebral Gasol for the same job.

Let's see how it pans out.

DeeMain:


Kyrie has issues and baggage and is injury prone and has proven over time that he can't lead a team, i.e., he is a number 2 but don't conflate these facts with his immense talent or his game or his huge contributions to Cleveland winning that 2016 ring.

Of course, Lebron is Lebron and any star that pairs with Lebron is automatically going to be placed in a good position to contest for a championship.

But to say Kyrie was carried? No mehn, Kyrie not only balled to the core, he cold-bloodedly snatched souls in that championship run.

Lol. Kyrie is a #3 on a championship team. His jump shot is streaky, and no one is biting on those dribbles anymore. Lebron made it work in Cleveland, like he does everywhere else. Even Caruso is feeling like a don in lakerland these days.

Kyrie as #1 option has never worked. We are about to find out why Kyrie as #2 will not work either on the Nets. Unless of course they get Harden and bounce his insecure @ss in which case he can continue whining about Lebron like he owe him money. Nevermind, he gon keep whining about Lebron for the next 10 years regardless where he at.

I wish there was some sort of radar you could buy to identify shady brothers like this - you think they got your back until they dont.

Like I said. Kyrie has this God complex that makes him feel like he is operating on a higher plane of intelligence than everyone else. Acting all philosophical and shit. But the reality is that he is farther from enlightenment than anyone else In the league. He is acting like a 13 year old that just got into watching one Jordan Peterson videos on YouTube and reading nietzsche now he thinks he has finally discovered the secrets of the universe. The victim in all these would be Steve Nash. Because when this KD-kyrie experiment crashes and burns, which it would. He would never get close to ahead coaching job for another 10 years. I honestly believe Kyrie is bi-polar man. The way his mood oscilates makes you wonder if this guy should not be in therapy or something. At least one thing is guaranteed, there would be no shortage of drama this season and Brooklyn is gonna be the epicentre of it all.

It really is tiring at this point. He hit one he'll of a purple patch during that championship run, but ever since then, that man has been all about his numbers when he is on the court. He does not make his teammates better. Whines like a baby when he drops 50 and he loses but fails to realize when you don't let your teammates touch the ball, they can never get into a rhythm. Kyrie is just a mixtape basketballer. All highlights, no substance. He should be kissing the feet of LBJ for gifting him that one ring that he carries around like a badge of honor instead of biting the hands that fed him

I really wished the Lakers ran it back. Rondo is a huge loss. While Schroeder is a better scorer, a planning guard is what they really need. And letting Dwight go has made them defensively weaker. I don't know if gasol still has much left in the tank after what I saw last season. Dwight was the anti-jokic last season and there are very few players that match up with him. But I guess time would tell.

Una don come again. Which one is LeBron made it work? Why una no dey like give players individually their credit? You're comparing Kyrie to Caruso. When Kyrie got hurt did LeBron win? Didn't they lose the series?

Kyrie that averaged 5 more pts than the unanimous MVP in that series, he's a player we know is well capable of making unassisted buckets. So what's this LeBron business

We all know Kyrie can be a bit of a bellend but give the man credit where it's due. He balled in that entire postseason and whatever happened in Boston Kyrie has never had an MVP caliber outside LeBron so this judgement is a bit unfair

If KD stays healthy they have LeVert and enough complementary pieces around KD to compete for the title

Haba, obviously, Kyrie is not Caruso. What I meant was Lebron is an excellent facilitator and will distort defenses. Which makes other players look really good. Its like Draymond eating off of the splash brothers. Draymond is good no doubt, but he got exposed last season.

Same way Kyrie is good no doubt, but not as good as his mouth. See how he bombed on the Celtics, then tried to blame it on the youngns.
Add to all this, he used to be explosive off the dribble, but once you dont bite, he had to shoot those crazy jump shots. And his jump shots are nowhere near as reliable as Lillard. Plus he is now older, less explosive, and his shooting ability will likely never get better. Imo he is going to be a paul george level of dissapointment - Durant will have to ball to make Kyrie look decent.

Rondo was not a big loss, father time has caught up with him, and he will be even slower this year. Dont let the 3s he made fool you, its not going to be repeated this season.

I like Howard as an active big, but Jokic schooled him thoroughly. The only thing Howard did in that series was be an extra body to help make Jokic tired. Im happy for Howard tho, the guy has been through a lot, most of it his own fault. At least he can end his career shoulder held high - if he stays healthy, he will be a coveted one year rental for a while.

ESPN have come with their shitty rankings again

E say Kyrie averaged 5 more points than the unanimous MVP. As usual, giving us false information whenever it comes to LeBron. I'll give you a chance to go back and check the stats again

And he said LeBron didn't win when Kyrie got injured. But he didn't tell us that Love also got injured

Let's get this straight: the major reason we were a defensive Juggernaut last season is largely because of AD. Dwight and Javale contributed, no doubt, but let's not think they were the ones that made us who we were. Same thing applies to Rondo. Playing alongside LeBron can really bring out the best in you, because you know you're expected to win it all. As decent a playmaker as Rondo is, it was his scoring that came to the fore in the playoffs. And it only came in spurts, not regularly but in key moments. With Schroder, we're looking to have more regular scoring from the PG position. And it's not as though he's a liability in playmaking; he still averaged 4 assists last year. Rondo averaged 5.

By and large, LeBron and AD are the superstars of this team and they're still very much in their prime. When we put the team together last year it looked like we put scraps together, giving a lot of deadwood opportunities. Not a lot of people gave us a chance. This year Pelinka decided to break it up because he thinks it could be better, and also because he knows the league would be much tougher with KD and Curry returning. I think we look better than when we won the championship.

rondo a decent playmaker? I mean he might not be the force he was but the legend of playoff rondo is real. I do understand why there would be a need to change things up a little bit. The west has gotten considerably tougher. And they needed to get younger in the guard position as I believe there would be a lot of "load management " from LBJ this season to keep him fresh for the playoffs. AD is being set up for an MVP season and why i so recognize his chops as an elite rim protector. We cannot gloss over the fact that the considerable size advantage Lakers is lost due to the departures of Dwight and McGee. You just hope this won't be exploited by teams like philly/Denver who seem to be stocking up on giants at all positions

Well if they are both healthy then all well and good. Kyrie is clearly a 2 we all know that

I no know why my posts dey always give this Bronsexual priapism

Kyrie averaged 27.1, Steph averaged 22.6 so if I say 5 points why not unlook instead of displaying nonsense pedantry

Kevin Love? Lmaoooo same Kevin Love that averaged 8.5 ppg in 2016 Finals?

You people won't stop this fallacy. When we bring up the many players that worsened under LeNomad you will blame them and not him for their failures. I beg make all analysis dey balanced. If you will distant LeNomad from the failure of his teammates then I don't see why you give him credit when they ball.

I don't see why you would be comparing Kyrie to friggin Draymond Green

Kyrie didn't play his best and I doubt any knowledgeable basketball analyst would tell you you can win a title with Kyrie as your #1

All I'm saying is whatever happens in Brooklyn, Kyrie should get his deserved credit for pulling off the greatest Robin performance perhaps in Finals history and the entire 2016 postseason. Even Paul George never pulled that off

For real, Im all ears. Name 2 or 3 players that worsened under Lebron

No doubt, he deserves props for that series. And no doubt without him they likely dont make those clutch jumpers to seal the win. But you can see why people are bagging on him. I dont know what is going on on his head, of all the people you could attack, you take down your teamate from a championship run, same thing talk down your team mates in boston. I hope he knows Durant can be even more vengeful should he try this on the Nets
