Lakers in 6th and their schedule is kinda hard the next handful of games.

Wolves gotta be really happy with what they’re seeing from ant edwards of late. Teams been much better since d lo came back.

beat me to it

anthony interview was a joy, he's clearly feeling uncensored in his moment

he is not lacking for confidence!

ive watched him play a few times i like the way he moves around he is small but ferocious, not sure how much of a player hes gonna be, he might make it work if he can get better at 3s

Btw it was kind of annoying in that Jokic article where the guy says he still hasn’t seen the legendary Arvydas Sabonis footage. It’s actually really easy to find on YouTube now.

lol did Blake really pretend to be cooked to get to the Nets?

OMG BLAKE GRIFFIN 🤯

Prob

yeah

based on what i've seen lately

He’s trying harder on the nets but there have some been some extremely cooked moments where he just doesn’t have lift and has to do a funky layup

he hadnt dunked in a year and then since hes been on the nets he has his highest dunk rate since his rookie year

He’s def not even close to the same but he looks more or less like he did a couple years back. He’s always had weird post moves and awkward shots around the rim

That was a fun game. Giannis still being left open in crunch time situations and can’t make anyone pay

yeah he missed a very weak 15 footer in the last minute there not great

47 points is great tho

no way blake wasnt doggin it on the pistons, really shouldve dunked a few times so people didnt have that stat to use against him lol, he prob didnt even realize it

47 points is great tho

youd think if they ran some actions late they could get giannis switch onto a smaller guy in the post, as teams tend to switch a lot in crunch time

celtics-blazers tied at 71 at the half, wild

Coaches are so bad at challenges, it’s unbelievable

Lakers don’t look great!

would be cool if they ended up in the play in tourney and also lost there and failed to make the playoffs

Tomorrow night is the first time we get see Steph v Zion. And then the next night, too.

and then again at the end of the year with play-in implications for both teams, its may madness baby

The Lakers say LeBron James, who checked out with nearly seven minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, did not return against Toronto because of a sore right ankle.

folks kinda feels like the lakers arent gonna win it this year!

shits about to get wacky in the west

The title is wide open

I think the lakers can’t be worse than 7th right? Seems like just shutting AD and Lebron down until the playoffs might be a good idea. They have a game tomorrow and 3 more sets of back to backs in their last 9 games

when i think about the playoff scenarios i am def like

NOW
this
is
gonna
be
FUN

Lal pdx dal all tied at 36-28 now. Likely 7th is worst for them unless a real disaster and they lose a bunch and mem or gsw goes on a winning streak

LeBron James on the play-in tournament: "Whoever came up with that s--- needs to be fired"

lebron otm

Lol he would say that now

Tough knee injury for haliburton. Hope it’s like what Embiid did vs a torn ligament.

Lmao

Wild what this is doing to the some of the healthiest guys on the planet

Fournier said he's been feeling "really weird" since returning from COVID-19. Said it feels like he has a concussion. The bright lights were bothering his eyes and his vision was blurry. Everything going too fast for him. A bit better now but in some ways, "it's still the case."

— Jay King (@ByJayKing) May 3, 2021

it's a bummer. fournier has been... spotty.

sounds like schroeder has covid so the great news keeps coming for the lakers.

this is funny to me

If the play-in ends up costing the NBA the Lakers and Celtics for the playoffs you’ve gotta figure there will be consequences. Maybe not lost jobs, but that format would change. https://t.co/FI2n730jue

how dare they threaten opportunities for the famous teams who cant beat sacramento

also i have brainstormed a new variation

give the top 4 teams byes then do some wild tourney for the other 4 spots, wld be sick

— br◎seph (@on3ness) May 3, 2021

obv the play in tourney idea is working if theres all these bad opinions about it

its true if you view the idea through the lens of meta fandom then provoking wild takes is a win

folks kinda feels like the lakers aren't gonna win it this year!

last year I saw that they had a chance early on because of their defensive intensity and match ups were problem for other teams. They don't have that going for them this year and without it the offense they put out there will never be enough.
