LeBron deserved MVP sha, or even CP3. But it's nothing, we know the hate didn't start today.

youngestgrad:
Guys superb thread you got here, I just started following the NBA religiously in 2019, I took me sometime to understand all the in game rules, player draft, trade and so on, though playing Nba2k11 helps.......sad about my team's position- the Golden State warriors and my brother from another mother Steph curry.

Another Warrior to contend with

The all-star break came at the right time for Kawhi, lol 46 mins tonight

benji93:
Ofcourse you didn't invent it. Although it's another to make some "real losers" more valuable.

Naah. At least when LeBron wins MVP people won't say he didn't deserve it.

benji93:
Which one is "real plus or minus". Folks always inventing metrics to help their course. . Is there a fake plus or minus? I am not surprised. Lebron Stat Market indeed.

Lol. No vex o. I didn't do the analytics.

The guys at OKC do not have a functioning brain on their head

Durant fouled out in the game, so there's your consolation.

DeeMain:
Guy, watch that video again. He is a very good player, loyal and gives his all with intensity but...

If OKC wins this game it's game over in the series. Final seconds, game is tied and twice you have a chance to win or tie the game and twice Westbrook is given the responsibility and he bricks. Meanwhile you have a cold blooded assassin in your team, the second best player in the league in the person of KD in your midst.

To me that's hogwash.

OKC should have been KD's team and Westbrook his 2nd. It should have been made clear. Management got it wrong.

And by the way, did you hear when the commentator said "Durant has fouled out" ?

lordbeans:
As against a four times scoring champion in Kevin Durant , who by the way has significantly higher field goal percentages in both two points and 3 points and a significantly better free throw shooter. Tell me why anyone who has a functioning head on his or her shoulders would prefer Westbrook closing than Durant?. It is incomprehensibly inane.

No one here says he prefers one to the other. I said they both have earned the right to close.

donlittle25:
it's the truth tho. I love Westbrook, but oon a team with KD, he should never be the closer. Never

That's a two time scoring champion you're underestimating. Russ closes sometimes, KD closes sometimes. They're both elite players.

Nice reassuring win for the Lakers over the Nuggets. Denver is always a tough place to go to.

DeeMain:
Why Westbrook will be the 4th quarter final seconds go-to player for a team that has KD on it beats me. KD stomached a lot of shit in OKC. What disrespect! Nonsense.

Steph baba! Respect!

You people disrespect Westbrook too much in this group.

Aliondo.. How far? Did you watch this game live?
And the playoff series with OKC up 3-1 that season?
2016 was a crazy year.

Warriors fans now looking to the past for solace. Lol

xwolverine:
I like the new host on undisputed though, he's very good at making Rob look silly.


On a side note, did anyone see the Philly game last night? Playoff P showed up big time with 3FGM in 15FGA, plus I am beginning to believe that not getting Mook could turn out to be a blessing in disguise for the Lakers.

Tell me I’m dreaming, but did I just watch Zion dominate Whiteside in the paint

I didn't see the game, but I'm believing that that Mook-PG-Kawhi partnership is bullocks unless Mook comes of the bench. I mean, bringing Morris into the starting lineup pushes PG into the SG position, making him to take (and miss) even more three pointers. They need to sort themselves out...the later the better for us.

Roland17:
18 TO with 2 mins left is not a recipe for a W. We did not play Celtics basketball, failed to move the ball and got punished by a Rockets team who defended better.
#RIP24

You guys did what they wanted, play the small ball. Kanter got an unusual 9 minutes.

I legit hate Rob Parker. Once he opens his mouth to talk about the Lakers it's all hate and bullshit.

steady986:
It's funny how some Lakers fans saw Collison as the saviour, as someone who would really push the Lakers in the championship race. Lol. If you asked me to choose between Rondo and Collison I'd take Rondo any day. He's by far the second best playmaker on our team.

And I really don't know what's happening with Bradley but the guy has been shooting better in the last couple of games. His 3 ball in the last 6 games look like this: 1-2, 2-3, 5-9, 2-5, 3-4, 5-7. That's after going 0-9 in the previous 4 games. Long may it continue.

Add 3-4 for Bradley in today's game

xwolverine:
To be really honest, I still think we could've used Collison at this time, he's that good. In fact, any PG is a welcome option at this point in time, that's how awful Rondo has been since the beginning of the season. His mediocre performance is impacting on the bench as well, especially Kuz.

Kuzma is struggling because he's playing more minutes with Rondo and by the time he plays with the first unit, he's not in rhythm and exhausted.

Collison was the answer to the lack of creativity when Lebron is not on the court, which will be badly needed in a typical 7 game series.

LeBron is the best playmaker in the league. Perhaps asking Rondo to replicate that level of creativity is a little harsh. Rondo will always be Rondo.

And we can't really say he has hindered Kuzma so far. Kuzma can create his own shot. He's a pretty reliable ball handler, so if Rondo ain't passing then go get your own shot.

And let's be honest, Collison has never been a prolific playmaker. Stats tell me he's on 5 assists/game for his career, compared to Rondo's 8.3. Rondo might be having a bad spell, but we know the guy can create.

It's funny how some Lakers fans saw Collison as the saviour, as someone who would really push the Lakers in the championship race. Lol. If you asked me to choose between Rondo and Collison I'd take Rondo any day. He's by far the second best playmaker on our team.

And I really don't know what's happening with Bradley but the guy has been shooting better in the last couple of games. His 3 ball in the last 6 games look like this: 1-2, 2-3, 5-9, 2-5, 3-4, 5-7. That's after going 0-9 in the previous 4 games. Long may it continue.

Guys, for the love of Kobe Bryant, make we take am easy abeg.

you still haven’t answered the question about why you’re not talking about YOUR team?



You must be really pissed off, for you to be crying nonstop about the Lakers. All we hear from your mouth is about the Lakers, I just advised you to focus on your mediocre team, and stop worrying about the Lakers and LeBron like your life depends on it. A trade was made, end of story. The level of obsession is becoming a cause for concern.

Who is salty between you and me? I don’t care about your team, you are the one worrying about mine. I don’t talk about your players, you’re the one ranting about mine. I don’t care about Morris, it doesn’t matter, we’ve moved on, you should too.

Read the paragraph above one more time, read it slowly this time around and tell me if your obsession makes any sense whatsoever.



You are the one projecting your insecurities on us. You’re the one crying online, writing essays about another person’s team, if your concern is truly about the NBA, there are 29 other teams. Worry about your sorry ass team, not mine.



When did I say that we didn’t need him? Your saltiness has led to hallucinations

Don’t worry you can drown your sorrows in booze.



Cool story bruv, I agree with you

I can see that you’re taking this too seriously while it’s not that deep bruv.

You’re right, the Clippers will win the chip this year and the title for the next 10 years.

Happy now? You can now go play with your toys.

You didn't know? His team is anybody that will stop LeBron

KNIGHTBlaed:
Feast on who? Like they feasted on the Rockets without a center, well done o. This Lakers team don't look scary more. At the beginning of the season, you guys were scary but not anymore.

Lol. It's now a "scary looking competition?"

xwolverine:
They still lose by 27 hot ones after playing everyone on the team including Doc Rivers’ dog against a Timberwolves without D’lo

You cannot write this script nor can you make this shït up

Crazy

Roland17:
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.
RIP#24

Lol, name them na

xwolverine:
Wondering why you’re not Facing YOUR team bros, the last time I checked, you weren’t a clipper fan. On the flip side I’m talking about a situation that directly concerns my team and the direct impact of the trades on my team.

Why are you crying more than the bereaved? Face your team and I’ll face mine, simples.

We tried to recruit him, but he opted to go elsewhere, no big deal. No harm no foul compared to the team in the basement making trades purely out of fear. Why is it such a coincidence that they always manage to go after the same set of people that the Lakers have been linked to? Jerry west, Tye Lou, Kawhi, Marcus Morris, Iggy, Daren Collison. If it was a one off, then it’s not out of place to call it a mere coincidence but geez, it must really suck to be the jealous little brother.

I’m actually having fun replying to your hate laced comments, cos no matter what stacking up happens, nothing is set in stone. We managed to scramble together players after Kawhi left us high and dry and we’re still leading the western conference.

In the end everyone will be alright.

At the end of the day they look back and say 'damn, did we really need all these guys?'

chic2pimp:
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.

That's no reason to lose by 30+

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.

A40:
Lmaoooo you're so funny. All you had to do was give them Kuzma but y'all wanted to eat your cake and have it. Why would Marcus Morris want to join the Lakers?

What Championship? Lmaooooooo you guys are getting waxed!!

Green and Kuzma for Morris, are they high?

benji93:
Nope, the better word is "if". Remember that. . You can even do better than that. "If we get lucky".

Nope, we winning it all.

Lol

Memberclub:
how much help does LeBron need?

Just 14 players, like everyone else.

A40:
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.
