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

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

steady986:
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.

Rondo can create, but he holds on to the ball for too long in transition, that by the time he makes a pass, the defence is already set. In comparison, Collison is a better shooter, won’t mind his lower number of assists per game, heck I’ll take Lance Stephenson at this rate. Anyone is better than Rondo at this point and I am being honest here.

There’s no point for us to whine about it now though, all I’m saying is that he would’ve been a good pick up.

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.

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.

Shut up you demented he goat he-goat. Who said you were steady?

You're obviously dyslexic if that was what you gleaned from my post. Nama

Oh he’s mad mad

A40:
The absolute gall of this eediot. I'm sure the cretin was not here when Steady9wareva was busy wishing Giannis gets an injury. Talmbout me hating and obsessed

What a crazeman

If you weren’t a troglodyte, you’d know that I’m not steady986.

Show me where I wished anyone injuries.

E pain am, dingbat

What a joke

A40:
You're a clown for sure. Aren't you the noob that jumped into my comments from out of space?

Lakers are suddenly your team now? Where were you when they were the worst team in the West? Winning less than 30 games a season. Clown


Lol you're certifiably insane. I don't recall ever interacting with you on this forum. Me commenting on why the Lakers didn't get Morris means I'm obsessed with them? You are dense!!



You jumped into my mentions you buffoon. Nobody was even talking to you. Sheesh this guy is demented for sure


A front running bandwagoninho like you will not know that I talk about any and every relevant team or player on this page. How would you know when all you do is come here to shout Up Lakers because they are the hot team right now



You're the one in my mentions wailing and I'm the sorrowful one? Efulefu

I said your team not you you obtuse gorilla! Do you work for the Lakers?


Buzz off dweeb. If you didn't jump into my mentions I would have been completely oblivious of your existence

What a tosser.

Ranting of a mad man. E pain am

You got yourself in this position by showcasing your level of hate for a man that doesn’t even know you.

Ad hominem comments wouldn’t mask your level of madness. You can shout from now till eternity, doesn’t change the fact that you’re filled with hate and your sad life hasn’t done you a favour either.

You can’t stop me from commenting on MY team, I don’t care what asylum you’re posting from.

Now jog on bellend

Y’all think Laker fans are bad now? Just wait until playoff time comes around, it’ll be the first time in 6 .... OOO OOO OOO YALL REALLY GONNA HATE US

steady986:
You didn't know? His team is anybody that will stop LeBron

Purely hating on someone that doesn’t know he exists. Life must be so boring for him to live with so much hate and bile.

That’s a very sad life

A40:
Nope. You were opening to the book of lamentations. If your team didn't need Morris your team would not have been discussing a trade for him

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

[s]So all this saltiness is unnecessary. How does a player not on your team impact your team? The minute he chose to join the Clippers should be the minute he ceased to be your concern

You're the one crying here not me


Fear? Fear of who? Why should they fear a team they have beaten twice? This is too funny. [/s]

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.

Marcus Morris, Iggy were on the trade block abi only the Lakers are allowed to go after players? Lol you're even bringing up Jerry West. Someone who has worked with Golden State and Memphis as well. The entitlement is strong with y'all.

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.

A40:
Nope. You were opening to the book of lamentations. If your team didn't need Morris your team would not have been discussing a trade for him

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.

If you like finish with the best record. The Lakers are the only team I am 100% sure the Clippers will beat in any playoff series

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.

steady986:
At the end of the day they look back and say 'damn, did we really need all these guys?'

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

A40:
So why the salaye? You traded all your picks for AD. Whose fault? They wanted Kuzma and Green or Kuzma and a pick (which you didn't have) so why are you complaining? Even if they preferred to deal with the Clippers. Why are you watching another team's pocket?


Your two primary targets were Iggy and Morris and you whiffed on both! Your only option now is Collison who has been retired for a minute

Lool Dwight and AD will feast on who? Lmaooooooo aren't you 0-2 vs the Clips?

I can sense the fear all the way from here. Why are you watching another man's pockets? They underperformed but they are still 2nd seed. And you know and are feverishly praying you don't meet them in the playoffs.

Face your team bruv. You guys tried to recruit Kawhi on a team with Bron and AD. You shouldn't be talking about anyone needing help

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.

steady986:
Green and Kuzma for Morris, are they high?

I’m burning my Jersey if Rob Pelinka did that trade. TF!!

A40:
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

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?

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!!

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 . 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.

Roland17:
This would be the instance when Kobe snatches the sneakers off his feet and dump them in the trash!
RIP#24

Perfectly justified if he did that. A lot of bums these days bringing shame to the Mamba mentality.
Case in point, Paul George and the Poverty franchise he plays for.

Roland17:
Imagine a CP3/ Embiid combination? I think that would be a better fit for the Sixers, I think they should explore that trade option. I still maintain that B. Brown should be fired! He is a horrible tactician.

They can't pay CP3

zelgiusdigby:
Because Philly is Kobes hometown.

I don't think that matters to Bron as much as the stats, he knows that Philly has a lot of bigs who can play lockdown defence. And I think he's more concerned about chasing Kareem and Carl Malone than passing Kobe.

After last night's game, he actually needs at least 44 pts by the end of the 4th quarter at Philly to meet that target and he could've easily played for 27 at the Knicks, get 25 against the Nets and he will stand more chance of passing Kobe.

There is no guarantee that he'll score more than 20 against a Philly team that locked down Giannis and restricted him to 18 points. If I know Lebron very well, I'd say he's not a gambler, he goes for the smartest plays, opting to pass to let's say Danny Green or KCP for a corner 3 when he could've easily got a layup or 2 free throws, just to maximise the score for that play.

Holding out till Philly is a huge gamble.

zelgiusdigby:
Lebron scored 19 in the first against the knicks and then went passive and pretty much stopped shooting. Further adding steam to my theory that hes pacing his scoring to ensure he passes Kobe in Philly.

Why do you think Philly is important to him?

He might be pacing himself because of the back to back especially the game against the Nets and the difficult schedule, with games against Philly and the Clippers next week. He looked spent against the Celtics after exerting himself on the Rockets last week.

Plus. he might be trying to avoid an injury, considering how dirty and harsh the Knicks play, doesn't make sense for him to drive to the rim in that kinda situation.

This is only my observation though.

Mickael2:
Losing three starters (and not four, Rafael was not a starter but OK and Ghazi was on loan at Aston Villa) does not automatically make a team weaker.

Let us look at the replacements.
Weah
Renato Sanchez and Yacizi. These are better players and even cost more and are performing better.

@ the bolded, just listen to yourself

Mickael2:
By the way how is Swansea equivalent to Lille? Don't be silly man, Lille finished second last season.

For your viewing pleasure as well as for all those who think Lille's squad strength has reduced from last year, here is a link to their squads for this season and last season. In fact, personally I think they have gotten better, Ikone was not half this good last season.

https://www.worldfootball.net/teams/lille-osc/2019/2/

Lille lost four starters including Pepe after last season, so they got weaker not stronger, check your facts.

iamJ:
Unless you didn’t watch lakers vs bucks

Don’t allow the final result to fool you


They killed the lakers


The difference was almost 30 at one point

That game killed my spirit

I have been running away from anything nba for days

I’m better now

When we come against top teams it’s not always easy, maybe bron will do wonders come playoffs but as it stands, any honest Lakers fan shouldn’t be bragging

Not a blowout like the Bucks against the Clippers though, and that’s a team that’s been together for a while, plus PG13 and Kawhi. How you guys manage to lose all sense of objectivity and hate on the Lakers/LeBron beats me.

Stillwater10:
Tammy is on a higher level than Osimhen abeg. Happy Christmas

False equivalency, in only one season, just like comparing Ansu Fati with Saido Mane. The question is, “are they the same age” or at the same stage in their careers?

When Tammy was Osimhen’s age, he was bouncing between Bristol city and Swansea, only got a lucky break with Chelsea because of injuries and the transfer ban, while victor earned his current position, he is leading his team against top class European teams in the champion’s league.

This is really funny, I swear down.

charlesemeka85:
tammy will suit the likes of chelsea,man united,arsenal,real madrid,barca and bayern while osimhen will only strive in teams like brighton,aston villa,osasuna,paderborn and co? now i see that the hate is real



see person wey i dey pity self if them dey enter him any how

Dimming Osimhen’s light wouldn't make Tammy's light shine brighter. Slobbering off Tammy’s man parts just because of one frigging season, playing with the likes of Kovacic, Kante, Willian, Jorginho, Azpi, is not even funny, it’s disgraceful. Tega my black ass. Yeye

komekn:
It's not about defenders but style of play.

Seria A is not as physically intensive and as fast as the EPL but it's more technical. That's my view.

Knock-it off Jack, go ask Wayne Rooney what Gatusso did to him or ask CRonaldo about Walter Samuel when ManUtd played Inter Milan, or ask messi about Thiago Motta.

Serie A is more intense, might not be as fast as EPL.

All of these half-truths just to prop up Tammy

mostob:
na wa for you o. The same Tammy we all are watching or another one?

Just imagine all this made-up plaudits, all for a player who was struggling a year ago on loan. Marouane Chamack did more than this in his first season, but look at the outcome. Victor Osimhen is younger, plays for a less impressive team and he's still banging in goals, two seasons, two different teams. The part that pisses me off is the pet name, like dude Wtf! He's even calling him Tega, like he is his Dad, a name I am sure Tammy wouldn't like being called.

donlittle25:
how the hell did they get a no trade clause? Magic regime did this?

No, they got it with the new Contracts at the beginning of the Season. The no-trade clause is loosely based on giving the player the right to veto any trade if they don't like the team they're being traded to.

KarnBarlow:
But you lot are tanking nonetheless and its funny as hell.

Draymond Green last 6 games

Warriors 0-6

yomi96:
ad unable to do anything for the pelicans is a total waste, shame and disgrace. Remove lebron from the lakers and lets see how the lakers will do with ad. Pascal is not on his level but he has more advantage because of his quickness.

This season is the lowest he’s ever averaged with 26.6pts, 10.2 reb and that’s on a new team, with more than 10 new teammates and less than 10 games into the season.

AD averaged 26pts 11reb 53% fg with the pelicans, what the hell are you saying

darkelf:
And your team isn't winning anything this season. Talk all you want

16 chips

yomi96:
fakers are butthurt.haha I love see you guys wail. What a day to be alive

Nah, we’re amazed at your level of ignorance, cos this ain’t trolling, it’s embarrassingly bad lol

VaughnSangrey:
Let me the first person to say it, the Golden State Warriors are winning the 2020 NBA....



Lottery! Sike!!!

What if they eventually get beaten by the Knicks

I’m sure OKC would be wondering “what more do we need to do to Tank”, the regression is shocking, how do you go from back to back chips to being worse than a G league team. At this rate, any team from ice cube’s the Big 3 would actually whoop them, no cap

VaughnSangrey:
Let me give this guy the benefit of the doubt, yomi96, please explain yourself. Please tell us how exactly siakam is better than AD.

I need to show my colleagues or actually post it on twitter. This shît is funny yo

The only player that’s more scary than AD is the 6”10 phenom playing for the Brooklyn Nets, no other player comes close to them in terms of versatility.
