spurs have a v v v bad defense this year. it's frustrating. i'm not used to this.

This some wild hoop

this is a fun game

wild wild hoop country

The thrill is back

ew bron that was not the shot my dude

Yikes. Bron looked old tonight tbf

patty thrills!

that bron three point play with two minutes left was incredible tho

He had moments for sure but he def wasn’t the best player on the court most of that game

Rajon Rondo on Chris Paul

“Everyone wants to believe Chris Paul is a good guy. They don’t know he’s a horrible teammate. They don’t know how he treats people”.

disagree with the premise

There are no “good guy” serial nut punchers

glad there are two dudes that hate now publicly hate each other, this is good

this "what's up with the lakers" stuff is really odd considering like every rando dude with a half-ass knowledge of basketball (like myself for instance) could have pretty much told you the roster was weird as shit, to the point where "meme team" was going around right away, i dunno it's odd like do they just assume magic knows what the fuck he's doing?

http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/25058032/nba-biggest-surprises-disappointments-5-5

they were widely picked to be a top 4 seed!

yeah i know yr right but jeez....i mean obviously lebron is lebron but like it's almost a roster that you would put together as a practical joke

they have no shooting (outside of Hart) and their best defensive player is ... lonzo ball? there's a ton to figure out there with the lineups and how all these random pieces fit on the court. it will take time but even at peak i dont see this team making any noise. lebron wont be able to take long stretches off like he could in the east. hes gonna have to play like playoff lebron night in and night out just to get into the playoffs. some silver lining tho javale has looked pretty good and josh hart looks really good.

yeah I think trade expectations might have been baked into those predix but this current roster is not a top-tier west team full stop imo

yeah like i said before this team is astonishingly close to what you'd probably come up with if you were specifically trying to create a team that lebron couldn't carry to the playoffs

Big Baby:

“I’ve played with both of them, CP3 is a very bad teammate”.

yeah everyone knows Cliff Paul is the good one

bron's first heat team was 9-8, his first cavs team back was 19-20. this happens every time

they'll have a 13-2 streak at some point im sure

those teams had other superstars and played in the east tho

even beyond the slow starts, his first year on a new team theyve always underperformed their expected W-L

he was also in his prime

correct

yeah but his prime is "top 5 ever" and he took a bad team to the finals last year

Embiid can't guard Drummond at all

i know it's early in the season and all but this is very weird and maybe i am dreaming

makes sense imo

it's been a great environment for guys who get buckets

nothin like gettin buckets imo

joels a cop

Joel Embiid flops on Andre Drummond and draws a foul, Embiid tells the referee to " Get him out of here" several times 😂 pic.twitter.com/6JirS4vPTa

ugggh

blake with the misdirection, then and-one for the lead with 2 seconds left in OT

Blake throwback night

that's 50

haha lakers fans working thru moral quandries

As a Laker fan who loves Julius Randle’s game & is hoping Anthony Davis eventually becomes a Laker, it’s odd accepting that Randle’s superb play this year may be key to keeping AD in New Orleans.

If Blake can go 50/14 from here on out feeling good about Pistons playoff chances.

Blake Griffin AND 1 for the lead with 2 seconds left. Makes free throw for FIFTY. pic.twitter.com/FtuBJGZxJf

its a great time to get buckets

Blake still six points short of the king

poor stanley johnson :(

also it's one game but this is a nice data point for the fultz and simmons cannot play together at all crowd

"theres only one ball"

its fact that the nba only owns one ball which is shared amongst all teams

if the ball goes into the stands they have to stop all games until the spectator agrees to give it back, typically for a ransom
