fwiw celtics do have a guy who can guard joel and hit 3s, mightve done it before even

i do worry for the bucks if they see the sixers bcuz it doesn’t seem like brook lopez is gonna play this year? embiid will repeatedly stuff guys like ibaka and portis into the trash, and giannis doesn’t seem to love defending in the paint in that way. i think joel put up 43 or something on them right before the break. otoh i could see jrue holiday harassing harden into multiple like 2-13 games so maybe they figure it all out

My personal opinion is there are several terrific teams entering these playoffs and any one of them can win. #nba

i will be bumping my thread from last year about how many teams can *actually* win the title in a year where people are like “anyone could win the title!”

relatedly, some recent podcasts about the top 75 players triggered discussion about the warriors and cavs finals era and shoutout to the warriors but the league is in a much better place right now, the playoffs are gonna be intense from the jump

pretty awful choke by the warriors to blow a 20 point fourth quarter lead but against teams without a traditional big man the mavs are better without zinger. they switch everything on D and then go 5 out and luka is getting you a good shot every time down. it’s a bit like the formula the clippers were using

Since starting the season 3-16, the Pelicans – including this win tonight – are 22-20.During the same time frame, the Lakers – including tonight's loss – are now 18-23.— Tim Bontemps (@TimBontemps) February 28, 2022

xp i think theres a non-zero trade he forces a trade out of LA this summer
― class project pat (m bison), Monday, 28 February 2022 05:53 (two years ago) link
i’m sure his mentality is still “we’ll win the play in and have me and AD healthy for the playoffs and i like our chances vs anyone”
― J0rdan S., Monday, 28 February 2022 06:02 (two years ago) link
ppl seem to think he’s really gonna pressure the lakers to make big moves again in the offseason and they will have more flexibility but if it goes completely sideways like maybe they somehow fall all the way out or lose their first play in game who knows
― J0rdan S., Monday, 28 February 2022 06:03 (two years ago) link
i dont see what the lakers have that will put them in a position to get better next year. they have jack shit for draft picks for the next 6 years, westbrook is a negative asset, its just rough.
― class project pat (m bison), Monday, 28 February 2022 06:05 (two years ago) link
yeah they have russ's massive expiring but nothing to package it up with to incentivize anyone to take it
― Spottie, Monday, 28 February 2022 06:08 (two years ago) link
they’ll be able to trade 27 and 29 firsts. they’re far out so they’d have to find someone who valued them but it’s an extra first that they couldn’t trade at the deadline & those could easily be juicy picks if the lakers go all in on the final years of lebron and then have to rebuild
― J0rdan S., Monday, 28 February 2022 06:12 (two years ago) link
oh wow didnt know you could stretch it all the way to 7 years out. thought it was like 3-5 or something/
― Spottie, Monday, 28 February 2022 06:15 (two years ago) link
a good front office could figure out how to reshape the team a bit by selling stuff off and targeting the right replacements… we all know what kinda players work with lebron it’s not some mystery and plenty of guys wanna play in LA obv. but the lakers don’t have a good front office

like the lakers 2020 championship has nothing to do with pelinka being good at running the lakers (see: all the pre-bron years) it comes down to bron saying "i want to go to la to do movies" and now hes won one championship for the least deserving fanbase in sports and made space jam 2 the space jamening featuring the warner bros ip squad and now its time to fuckin DIPSET

i tend to agree with ppl who make the point that basketball hasn’t been the driving force behind lebron’s movement decisions since he went to miami & so he won’t force his way out of LA to get to a better team. and he’s basically already telling us that his next move is gonna be about bronny

The first several times I saw that commercial I wasn't really paying attention and I thought it was Lebron talking to Bronny.
