Giannis and co are exploiting GSW only remaining weakness, lack of size on the inside. shocked
They usually compensate for that through 3 pt shooting. But whenever it doesn't fall, or whenever their opponent matches them, it's going to be a struggle. Today they made 16, but Bucks made 18 in fewer attempts. There ain't no winning that.

Steph having the worst shooting season of his career. Another dreadful shooting night tonight going 5/24, 1/9 from 3. But we won't blame the ball, that ship has sailed.

I'm so happy with how he and LaVine have flourished together, despite people believing they would get in each other's way. Who says there can't be two alphas? grin And when Vucevic is in his elements, that makes three.

I just love the mentality surrounding these bulls.

We've won eight straight, but the likes of DeRozan won't hesitate to tell you how the team is unsatisfied with some things, and how they're not getting carried away. They won 102-98 against Orlando, but DeRozan stayed behind to work on his free throws simply because he went 7-13 from the charity stripe on the night cheesy

The selflessness and insatiable desire for improvement is really refreshing.
We? grin I've never heard you refer to the Bulls as we. You waited till they were top of the Eastern Conference before you had confidence? cheesy

But the next 2 were turnovers, leading to fastbreak points. So instead of 8 easy points, we have a net of 2. Thats how you lose close games. There should never be a reason to give Caruso the confidence that he can make you give up the ball. Never. This is the one thing still holding grandpa from true GOAT status. For real.
LeBron's basketball ideology is different from that of MJ. MJ could have shot the ball and missed, just as LeBron passed and conceded a turnover. All na still failure. You don't get more props for shooting.

Stephen A really came up on ESPN and said the Lakers are ranked 26th in defensive rating. Twice. And he and Tim Legler just spent several minutes talking about how bad the Lakers defense is. When I say these analysts don't watch these games I'm telling the truth. First of all, the Lakers are ranked 10th in defensive rating (5th in the past 15 games), which is a mile away from the 26th that Stephen A claimed. And if they've actually been watching these games, they'd clearly know that defense is the least of the Lakers' problems. I've actually seen some massive improvements in the past month or so. Chemistry is a bigger issue than defense. Heck, offense is a bigger issue than defense. Then talk about player availability, which has altimately led to the lack of chemistry. I can't count how many lineups the Lakers have used this season. They should be leading the NBA by far when it comes to lineups.

I just watched Lakers Bulls. In year 18, Lebron you need to stop eeeet!!! Why are you passing the ball out with Caruso guarding you and you are like 4ft from the basket. All that size and you repeatedly pass the ball to a shooter. See how Derozan dey elevate and shoot over Westbrook cuz he knows the guy is to short to guard him. Lebron wake up!!
First of all, year 19

Secondly, that same move got us 6 straight points (2 threes) from Melo, so he had every right to try it a third time. They're overworking my grandpa. He didn't sign up for this sh*t in year 19 grin

So the Saints nack Bucs 9-0. This one no follow o cheesy grin Zero TD pass from Tom, barely throwing over 200 yards. Saints no just like Tom Brady. Brees or no Brees.

The Lakers are finalizing a deal to sign Isaiah Thomas on a 10-day contract. We're short of guards right now. But can he defend though?

Stephen A. sounds like a clown making these Steph vs LeBron comparisons on First Take grin
SportsRe: The NBA Begins by steady986(m):
Some funny results tonight grin The NBA's gone crazy.

I dey take side eye dey look this Grizzlies. Looks like they're legit. I wonder what would happen to Morant's minutes when he returns, because some of these fringe guys have proven that they deserve more minutes. I just hope Taylor Jenkins can find the right balance to ensure that this impressive run continues.

NBA players of the week

East: Domantas Sabonis
West: LeBron James

As expected.

even more remarkable is that he is maintaining at about the same size. Its easier for guards to keep their body longer. big forwards and centers tend to deteriorate quickly. When I see Lebron with a bottle of some liquor on the sidelines, I feel like he is just advertising. I doubt he drinks that much or eats junk. You have to be insanely disciplined to keep your body like that approaching 40.
Add to the fact he's evolving his game. He's actually attempting more jumpers now than ever before. He's attempting 7.8 threes this season, which is his most ever. And he's still shooting over 50% from the field despite that. He's averaging more points this year than last year despite attempting just 4.6 free throws per game, the lowest of his career. His free throw is up to 76% from 69% last year. Steal is 1.8 versus 1.1 last year. Block is 0.9 vs 0.6. Just keeps getting better.
SportsRe: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 8:14pm On Dec 13, 2021
The Lakers are currently ranked 11th in defensive rating, and they rank 5th in the last 10 games. Not where we want to be but it's a huge step up from where we were 2 weeks ago. This is slowly resembling a Vogel team. And it's no surprise that it's coincided with the return of LeBron. A defensively good Lakers team would be a nightmare for the entire league grin because offensively we're not bad either. In fact only Hornets have scored more total points than the Lakers this season. And that's with LeBron missing almost half the games. I like where we're heading.

This Embiid na big bully sha. But that's the key to beating this Warriors...bombard the interior, defend the perimeter. No go dey try out-three them.

Steph's shooting woes continues. 3/14 from beyond the arc. 6/20 overall. The Warriors were 12/48 from three (25%). Live by the three, die by the three. You gotta have a plan B when that shiit ain't working.
SportsRe: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 8:37am On Dec 11, 2021
Suns dey worry o. See how they made light work of the Celtics without Booker and Ayton. JaVale getting 21 and 15. That's the CP3 effect...making his teammates better. This west is no joke. See what the Grizzlies are doing without Ja. See how the sorry Rockets just took the defending champions down to the wire. The T. Wolves were doing well before injuries set in. Some strong teams will miss out on this playoffs. I pray it's not my Lakers sha grin My mind is telling me Blazers undecided
