Why did the Lakers even draft Hood-Schifino? That guy is so a$$. My goodness. Can't shoot to save his life. Playmaking is nonexistent even for rookie standards. And to think he was drafted befor guys like Jamie Jaques and Podzeimski. Hell, I would have risked taking Cam Withmore over him sef. The Lakers shat the bed on this one. Wasted 17th pick

Good point. You know that reminds me, perhaps that can be applied to the "coming back from being down 3 1 in the NBA Finals" argument. How the heck did you go down 3-1 in the first place? You shouldn't have been. . Not special.

Cheers.

You're still crying about the greatest championship in the history of basketball? Honestly, if it were my team that blew a 3-1 lead, I would never get over it

KD zero FG in the second half (0 for 10)

Well, it ain't AD so it's crickets

Nurkic cooking Jokic

larride:
Blazers tanked themselves.

If there's a way contract in sport can be framed for not paying weekly wages for stupid performance, Blazers players shouldn't be paid for 3 whole weeks.

Lol. The Bucks upped their energy in the 2nd half. Plus the crowd. Those rallies are unstoppable. The Lakers almost did it to a good team in Dallas the other night. We just fell short.

iLoveYouToo:
It has been an insane game, these guys rallied from 23 points down, wow

Yea. I was wondering what they were doing for them to go down 23

Bucks just don't want to lose to the Blazers. Anyone else, just not the Blazers

The highest paid player in the league missed his last 13 shots in the game. I for no bother but I have him in my fantasy league

Honlucas:
Even though we lost I'm fucking impressed with Lakers. ...dammm that was a game

Yea. Considering the disadvantages

Nice game though. Big ups to LeBron. It's because of him we even made this a contest in the end. Considering it was a B2B and Dallas had 3 days off coming into this one. Can't fault the effort. We really could have used some point of attack defenders in this game. Vanderbilt, Gabe, and Reddish all missing. I'm optimistic to see what a healthy Lakers looks like

Austin Reaves na you do this one o. How do you leave Kyrie open at such a moment? The most lethal shooter on that team.

steady986:
The Lakers are now forming a habit of getting blown out on every second night of a B2B, after blowing out their opponent on the first night

Hol up, hol up. Looks like we're cooking something here

This might not be a bad idea

Skrrrrrrr:
Lol.....
We are talking about the new cats taking over the league, and you guys jumped right in to say, Lebron is still dominating.
I just showed you the top 20 in plus/minus with lebron not in the top 10. Even AD has better impact.
Use your tongue to count your teeth...

That means Giannis is not dominant anymore, because he's not in the top 20

Skrrrrrrr:
Here is the NBAs top 20 in plus/minus for this season.
Peep Mr. Dominant.

Lmao. This your weak clapback sef. You just showed me LeBron in the top 20 in terms of plus/minus I'd say that is good

Una no lie for this thread about Klay o. That guy don truly wash . No Steph Curry and all you can go for is 1-10 and 5 points? Come on bro

Honlucas:
Lakers are the best team when healthy.

Haaa. This is going too far o. We're a top 4 team in the West at best. I'd rate the Suns and Denver above us in the West and Bucks, Celtics and maybe Sixers in the East

Lol. This one na stroking abi na wetin

But there's some truth to this sha. I remember 2019/2020 when Steph faked a thumb injury for the entire season. Midway into the season Draymond called it quits and faked his own injury

Lakers blew out an NBA team? This must be a dream

Skrrrrrrr:
All thanks to AD without whom they won't even make the playoffs...
You forgot they got swept by the Nuggets too.
Beating the warriors is hardly a flex, sacramento almost did it...
The warriors were terrible last season....

So LeBron is the only player in the league who is not supposed to have help. He should do it alone. The standards you people set for my guy is just absurd

If averaging 29/8/7 and reaching the conference finals isn't dominating, then I don't know what dominating is. Name me 3 other players in the league that had a stat line like that and went far in the playoffs at the same time. I can only think of Jokic.

But no, we're just hyping him for nothing.

Like I said before, haters don't need a reason to hate. They just hate.

Skrrrrrrr:
I'm almost convinced there is something wrong with you Lebron fans.
Curry and durant made a dent but curry has as much rings as Lebron and Durant has two.
Popsy is still dominating but his last ring was the "bubble ring" with AD, hasn't been the best player in the league in years but popsy is still dominating. Got totally outclassed by the best player in the league last year but popsy is still dominating.
If at this point, it's not clear to you guys that Popsy is just counting time and points, until he finally retires, I don't know what to say to you....
Say na, popsy is still dominating...

The old man who is counting time and stats beat your sweetheart Steph in the playoffs last year and went to the conference finals. But yea, he's just counting time. Haters gon hate though

Rockets beat the Nuggets. I'm vindicated

I'm convinced these young cats around the league have made a concerted decision to retire these old folks. The kind of teams the likes of the Magic, Pacers and Rockets have already disposed of this season. And we're just 10 games in. Nobody respects teams like the Lakers, Clippers, Bucks and the Suns anymore.

The emancipation of Cam Reddish. What a performance

Lakers I thank you o. Adupe

Skrrrrrrr:
Lenomad would have Zero rings without his super teams.
Look at them getting cooked by the Rockets without AD.
Without AD, they won't make the Play-in.

Is the goal to make the play-in?

Lakers just dey collect from everybody

I haven't seen a more terrible court than what I'm seeing in this Nuggets v Mavs game. What sort of colour is this? It looks like I'm watching Euroleague.
