Yes this is one of the best things besides dunx

i laughed out loud when he popped him his first time up the floor

it's possible ingram is not very good.

wld be so beautiful if none of ingram/ball/randle end up allstars, also if russell does, and if the celtics get a franchise player w lakers pick

Speaking of bigger than I realized that pj tucker contract is a real bargain on a per pound basis amirite

wonder how long the lakers can be terrible before their star starts to wane

theyve been good for basically their entire LA run

I am unconvinced that ingraham is anything other than like the new age version of guys like rasho nesterivic where they just look like a center so they get made a center, except ingraham is long and gangly so everyone goes u look like Durant so go ball

there is def something tantalizing abt him except the ball doesnt go in

Lakers could stay in the wilderness for a decade before we see them on TNT less than ten times a year

They will NEVER wane in the socal area, tv ratings would probably dip if the clippers ripped off like four straight championships and that's it

he takes it to the trim but just ends up bouncing off people and throwing up some junk

Just culturally lakes are ensconced in that Yankees cowboys tier where all they have to do is be decent a few years here and there and every yahoo nationwide who valorizes some decades old championship hauls their jerseys out of the closet and gets back on the bandwagon

(Delicately folds 86 Celtics championship t shirt and replaces it in dedicated drawer)

if children start going their entire childhoods w/o a dominant lakers team i think theyd prob start to lose their insane grip on the LA market, for an nba team to so dominate the attention of a big city feels like it requires exceptional success

plus LA got the rams now! lol (and the chargers)

Lonzo reacting to Beverley's incessant trash talk with the dead eyes of somebody who's been playing 1on1 with Lavar Ball for nineteen years.

You're underestimating the depths of delusion the *lakersssss* fan base is capable of plumbing

And I say that with some genuine respect, there are die hard fans for real and that takes literally generations to go away. There are also fans who believe rambis was the best power forward of all time

ingram only shot 44% from the field in college

kevin love just is really not a center, let's be real here.

hey! i'll have you know that kevin love played center in high school.

I am unconvinced that ingraham is anything other than like the new age version of guys like rasho nesterivic where they just look like a center so they get made a center, except ingraham is long and gangly so everyone goes u look like Durant so go ball

De’Aaron Fox probably isn’t the fastest basketball player I’ve ever seen but I’ve never seen anyone run like him in NBA games. He’s like Randy Moss on a go route over and over.

yeah hes one of those players that just looks different, he bounces around even when hes not doing anything

Fox must have been hell on wheels as a six year old.

Fox also otm about in-n-out

u gotta admire someone who attacks the most holy institutions of their new home on day 1

(in n out is dope tho)

Fox looks unorthodox I love it

Fox to write a Palyers Tribune article about the overrated mission style burrito

In n out is good but most places have a local burger joint that’s better

the thing abt in n out its its cheaper than mcdonalds and theyre everywhere in CA, the question is not whats the best burger place, its what if mcdonalds was good

like i like shake shack better than in n out but theyre not really in the same category, in n out is better than five guys and five guys costs twice as much *disclaimer im not a huge "fry guy"

good burgers are easy to find now, good chicken sandwiches are still a problem here

chicken sandwich is def the vanguard

we need an advanced burger stat

only had five guys once in an airport but liked it more than in n out (which is fine)

i thinks its another category as well. way too much money

in other words lagoon otm

innout value cant be beat

haven't thought about in and out from a value standpoint but as an easy coaster the quality of the food is whatever, not something you "need to have" or whatever if you visit.

leaving the skin of a starchy russet potato on your fry certainly puts you in another category of bad

potato skin is so good tho!

five guys is all about large sloppy food, i feel like i've outgrown that. have never liked that style of fries as much as the traditional thin cut ones regardless

fancy waxy potato skins are good

I like potato skins on fries but don't think in n out executes that fry type very well

flavor-wise it's really all about wether you like their 'spread' or not (m/l just thousand island dressing). I love it and get extra to dip the fries in.

I go to 5 Guys basically 100% for the cajun style fries.
