It is the years 2018-19 in the National Basketball Association (NBA) - The Regular Season

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.

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

little known fact the 1972 season was suspended for two weeks when they cldnt find a needle for their pump

the other 28 teams are stored inside the ball

lol

nuggets cruising. what a world

every time I randomly look at a final score it’s like 128-116 or something.

This is shameful and embarrassing stuff

This David Stern feature by @SI_ChrisBallard is amazing. He pulls no punches when talking about the vetoed Chris Paul trade to the Lakers. “Dell Demps is a lousy general manager and none of those players are currently with the team anymore.” https://t.co/01l5vJg4MW pic.twitter.com/tVOZd8soZs

lol sterns been waiting for someone to ask him how bad del demps is

The deal that never was included Paul going to the Lakers, Pau Gasol heading to the Rockets. New Orleans would have received Kevin Martin, Luis Scola, Lamar Odom, Goran Dragic and a 2012 first-round pick that Houston had acquired from the Knicks.

On Dec. 15, Paul was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers in exchange for guard Eric Gordon, center Chris Kaman, forward Al-Farouq Aminu and Minnesota's unprotected 2012 first-round pick.

not to defend the GMing of Dell Demps, but Dragic would arguably be the best player in either deal...never thought the gap between the two packages was that large anyway. but whatever, fuck the lakers.

Lebron is doing some really wacky stuff out there, like the games don’t count

Games against the Suns don't count.

i think lebron knows that this season doesn't count
