Really bad

Lakers doing a lot of yelling as they missed contested floaters
― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 19 August 2020 01:25 (three years ago) link
OKC played like garbage and the rockets didn’t miss a three, feels like one of those misleading game 1s

danny green's shot is way the fuck off. 23% in the restart.

Lakers look terrible, getting completely pushed around by nurk. They’re gonna have to yell their way back in this
― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 19 August 2020 01:37 (three years ago) link
stotts is playing nurkic and whiteside together and getting away with it because no one on the lakers can shoot
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 19 August 2020 01:37 (three years ago) link
nurkic game is pleasing to the eye
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 19 August 2020 01:43 (three years ago) link
the lakers are gonna need to be dragged to the finals by two guys plain and simple unless they get a good danny green series. i don’t see how they could beat the clippers at this point, those rosters seem really mismatched
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 19 August 2020 01:44 (three years ago) link
also curious to see how much anthony davis enjoys the physicality of this series

re: nurk, for fans of skilled players he's almost the perfect center
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 19 August 2020 01:47 (three years ago) link
lebron must be confident because he is taking the concept of picking one's spots to another level
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 19 August 2020 01:50 (three years ago) link
i can really only think of nurk as what a young, athletic, raw sabonis must've been like but i'm sure that's just weird fan projection
― Clay, Wednesday, 19 August 2020 01:51 (three years ago) link
Lakers defensive will keep them in every game it’s that good! And they will get some good looks but consistent shooting has always been the problem

gabriel giving the blazers pretty quality minutes tonight
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 19 August 2020 02:16 (three years ago) link
he's decent! i like him.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 19 August 2020 02:19 (three years ago) link
lol multiple lakers just fell down simultaneously on defense. i don't think i've ever seen that.

gary trent jr meanwhile has been awful in this game on both ends
so, if the Blazes can exactly duplicate their first half results against the Lakers... two-point victory!
― the unappreciated charisma of cows (Aimless), Wednesday, 19 August 2020 02:38 (three years ago) link
everyone suddenly had a lot of faith in gary trent jr.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 19 August 2020 02:43 (three years ago) link
i could see him having a game where he hits some shots but in terms of guarding lebron he’s been completely overmatched
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 19 August 2020 03:14 (three years ago) link
most players guarding lebron are overmatched and the more important the game, the harder he is to guard
― the unappreciated charisma of cows (Aimless), Wednesday, 19 August 2020 03:22 (three years ago) link
Trent was mostly good in the bubble but did have a couple games where he got cooked. Is high variance quality defense a thing?
― Spottie, Wednesday, 19 August 2020 03:26 (three years ago) link
i don't think it's variance...generally you can look at the matchup and go from there. like anyone who thought trent was big enough to guard lebron was kidding themselves.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 19 August 2020 03:31 (three years ago) link
All I can think is that Stotts doesn't want to wear out his offensive stars playing defense on lebron, and he's willing to let lebron have his regular stats line, just not some kind of 40+ point outing.
― the unappreciated charisma of cows (Aimless), Wednesday, 19 August 2020 03:37 (three years ago) link
Yah he’s their best shot
― Spottie, Wednesday, 19 August 2020 03:39 (three years ago) link
this is going to be a weird series in that so many bad players are going to get minutes

Does CJ have a disability that physically prevents him from passing?

just choked after that dame shot
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 19 August 2020 03:47 (three years ago) link
there is no reason for anyone other than dame to be shooting for the blazers at this point

i've never liked cj much b/c he doesn't do a lot of basketball things other than shooting

The way it swishes on those Dame bombs gives me a hoopsgasm
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Wednesday, 19 August 2020 03:50 (three years ago) link
his midrange game makes him a more valuable playoff player imo

the lakers just conceded that game. i have no idea why.

they just bailed on a game where they could have fouled and extended it. that was bizarre.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 19 August 2020 03:55 (three years ago) link
make or miss league etc and the lakers will gladly live with melo and gary trent shooting threes but we also have to acknowledge that in crunch time of a playoff game dame had to be double teamed out to half court and it resulted in a string of wide open dagger threes
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 19 August 2020 03:56 (three years ago) link
For reals that’s like SOP
― (•̪●) (carne asada), Wednesday, 19 August 2020 03:56 (three years ago) link
no one on the lakers seemed like they cared.
anthony davis, 28 points on 8/24, -20lebron 23 points on 9/20, -3

if the lakers want to live with trent and melo shooting threes while their two stars put up shitty lines they're at risk of losing this series

With Steph out of action until next season, Dame is officially the most magical player in the nba for now.

AD worked hard in the paint missed a lot of shots and put backs he usually makes

charles just said this was the fewest amount of points scored by the blazers in a win this season. not a great advertisement for the lakers worst in the bubble offense
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 19 August 2020 04:11 (three years ago) link
chuck referring to the blazers as "we" is... okay charles
― Clay, Wednesday, 19 August 2020 04:13 (three years ago) link
charles is really confident that the blazers are going to beat the lakers....
