NBA Thread 2020-21 Season

[longislandcuse]

I’m only being semi-sarcastic when I say that I’m probably better than Bazemore.

 

[NineOneSeven]

GS blew leads all year, expect it to happen here. James not overly aggressive.

As expected, some horrendous sequences that quarter. Completely predictable though.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Not impressed at all with the lakers if I’m being honest.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

This is a fun game, 93-93, 5 minutes to go.

 

[longislandcuse]

These refs are trash anytime a Laker falls in the vicinity of Draymond Green.

 

[samspann1]

refs making their mark on this game - two brutal moving screen calls on Draymond

 

[samspann1]

uh, walk?

 

[Day2]

The fix is in.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Incredible shot, but truly lucky as hell of course. James is truly so annoying at times.

This clown just said he saw 3 rims and shot at the middle one. What the hell?

Not a James hater by any means but it honestly looked as though once the buzzer sounded, he grabbed a towel, wiped his face for a few secs, & then his eye was visibly more irritated than it was just seconds before. Great shot but LeBron’s dramatic & I wouldn’t put it past him to pull the old “rub the eye until it’s red & watery” trick like a 4th grader trying to get out of a spelling test.

He got hit in the face, surely. Do not sit there and tell us you saw 3 freaking rims and shot at the middle one. WHAT THE HELL.

”The clown“ with a lucky shot. The wind blew it in.

To say you were seeing THREE rims and shot at the MIDDLE ONE, multiple times in post game... that's absolute clownery.

Incredible shot by him. Clown antics and clown statement.

I thought it was a good line on the fly after a tough, grueling game. i doubt he was being literal, although he did take a good shot to the eye.

Haha come on. I don't need you to keep sharing tweets about the man. He's an all time great. He made an incredible play. He said he saw 3 rims and shot at the middle 1... TWICE.

Guy has made a few shots here and there in his career eh?

 

[Cusefan0307]

So are the Lakers worse than everyone thought or are the Warriors better?

Lakers can definitely lock in on defense. The offense is just often not smooth though. Still think we’re better overall with Harrell/Gasol or going with Davis at the 5 than we are with Drummond.

I don't know why Schroeder gets soo much time. He was awful last night.

Yeah, he was bad yesterday. I like him overall but he definitely runs hot and cold. Good thing Caruso came through.

 

[Melancer46]

I give green tons of crap, but he’s been fantastic tonight in his role. Hope he doesn’t get another T

He’s still insanely good defensively and so smart offensively. But man, the way his shot fell off the past few years just makes it so hard for them to function offensively sometimes. He’s just incapable of scoring sometimes.

Also, still can’t help but think how fun the Warriors could have been if they had taken LaMelo like I was hoping they would.

 

[skurey]

Jordan's flu game gets talked about all the time when he was actually hungover.

LeBron can have a triple rim game.

He also had some critical fouls late. Granted the second one, at minimum, was completely wrong. He has to provide something though at times scoring. I mean he didn’t make a basket.

Longer the Lakers stay alive in the playoffs the better they’ll get. The time to get them is now and I think they’re fortunate to get Phoenix in round 1 because I’m not sure what they have for AD on that roster. There’s not really an obvious match up. Then Lakers have guys to at-least make life not easy for CP3 and Book.

Lakers have LeBron still working through his ankle, Schroeder missed some time and needs to settle back in, AD missed a ton of time and seems to still be working his way back to what he was last postseason. Then just figuring out rotations with some of the new pieces and having Bron back that they didn’t have much of a chance to work with in the regular season. I’d think all of that will improve each passing week.
