Sixth worst PG in the NBA. -79 total points added.

I'm gonna vomit.

I can see a scenario where Bron doesn’t win another ring. Bron will be what 36-37 next year. He himself said he would never be 100% again so unless he was just making an excuse thats concerning. You can pencil AD to miss at least 10-20 games each season for random injuries. Unless they sign a real star to be a number 3 option, this may be the new norm if those two aren’t playing. The question moving forward will be who wants to go play with the Lakers now that they are getting long in the tooth. The same way Bron dipped on Miami because they were old and worn down…….. isn’t that what the Lakers are heading towards now?

It’s clear the media only cares about the Knicks being good if it’s with the superstar THEY want. Randle has been ballin all year and gets no respect

I really am going to try and see more basketball next season. I have the Knicks and Nets at my disposal. I'm sure the prices will be crazy but it'll be worth it.

Facts.

nobody envisioned having a summer break before the playoffs

although every team faced that, nobody benefited like a 36 year old Bron and a glass-made AD from all dat rest

Congrats on the 5G upgrade famb

Had a chance to listen to Rachel Nichols on All The Smoke. She has a very dope vibe man. Dope seeing her be herself.

 

[MajinZuub]

I’d put G Hill on the list too. He came back to be a serviceable player in his 30s. But he was in competition for BITG when he got hurt with the Pistons.

I think Penny and Larry Johnson also could have greater careers but for injuries

Not a popular name to throw around but Laphonso EllIs was starting to get pretty good before the injury

Randle has gotten plenty of love and respect. He's getting All-NBA talk.

 

[MajinZuub]

Nope. Ingram leaving instead of him looks worse by the hour

Ingram left? Lakers didn't have a choice the Pels weren't going to take Kuzma instead

I miss MSG so much man. Live ball is just such a fun environment and you can get perfectly good seats for only $2-300 which is still a lot but it's worth it

MSG is the best arena I've been to (not that I've been to a lot). You get a good look at the game from almost any seat. I'm not sure what it is, I just assumed it's the curvature of the seats but it's great.

Gonna see the Spurs get dragged live next year can't wait. Hopefully with DDR in a Knicks jersey to add insult to this delusional fan base who don't accept a tank.

The Chase Bridge is an underrated section. A little high up but there's nobody in front of you & you have a perfect view of the whole court.

 

[MajinZuub]

Had prior obligations but my cousin hit me to go to the Kings game last night. Not that Kings/Spurs is a great matchup right now but would of been nice to hit a game regardless

 

[Based Jesus]

I'm usually in the 100 section. That's the closest I can get for my kind of money
I gotta visit Barclays more too. Especially with KD and Harden there now.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Mavs games are great. It sucks the closer you get to the floor the more of a corporate feel it gets though. Them nosebleed fans are more fun

It's the same for Knicks games. The one time I was in the nosebleeds it was pretty lit. For a preseason game too
Down in the 100s it's mostly middle class to upper middle class white people that only show up at halftime

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Right, he's in his 20's falling apart

How you sound

AD just was monster last night. We know y'all dudes SICK from watching the Lakers win another ring but at least make sense.

 

[dacomeup]

Hot take, Chris Paul is actually the insane competitor that people think Russ is.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

AD may not be in his 30s but he’s literally always hurt with some sort of injury. Due to COVID and the league pausing, Bron also got a 4 month break during the season that allowed him to be fresh in the Bubble. That was huge considering the year that they missed the playoffs he was hurt by Christmas and missed a lot of time. Also, what player is going to the Lakers? They already goofed by trading Ingram and keeping Kuz. KCP has been better than I expected but it’s obvious his bubble play was him at his best. Caruso……. Is just the Lakers version of Cedi Osman, Delladova meaning his gives them nothing usually. Drummond is traaaaash, Trez can’t guard his shadow, and THT isn’t consistent enough yet. Basically the Lakers will have to trade everyone except Bron and AD and start from scratch to keep the “window” open.

Everybody got the same 4 month break. That wasn't a LeBron break.

How did they goof trading BI? BI and Bron can't play together and the fact is they won a championship, that's the goal. That's whole purpose of making a trade to put yourself in position to win a ring, they accomplished that.

Y'all been saying the same thing for years and keep getting proving wrong. Lebron came to the Lakers, AD came to the Lakers. Then when the next dude come it's gonna "why LeBron always gotta have a stacked team..."

Yeah CP3 is maniacal with it but the smile and State Farm commercials has people fooled

Quick aside: Are most CP3 haters Lakers fans? I don’t see any other reason why someone would hate on him aside for the fact that he played for the Clippers which isn’t even damning since he was traded.
