He didn’t have the lakers in the playoffs which isn’t an unpopular sentiment. I didn’t have the pels in which a lot of other people do
It’s a right race there’s good teams that won’t be in unless there’s injuries, like with Murray

Lol Sixers media coverage is awful now. Two guys make a bunch of practice jumpers and ONE pull up and it's pandemonium

I used to watch Tony Allen drain jumper after jumper at halftime shootaround.

Dennis will need to make a bit of a leap, but they are going to have a nice little rotation once you add DJ, Barnes, and even 40 year old Dirk to what they've been playing with in China.

We’re talking about the Spurs here. They didn’t lose Aldridge or Derozan. Murray is no slouch but your original comment implied that Murray was more critical to this season than he actually is. Critical to the Spurs long term growth? Yes he is. Essential that he is healthy in order for them to make the playoffs? Stop it.
Pop is the ultimate plug n play coach. By that I mean, their roster more often than not is capable of absorbing significant injuries with minimal effect on wins/losses.
I’m just going to assume that you are unaware of what happened to them last season after only having Kawhi play roughly 9 games. They didn’t fall out of the playoffs and won’t this year either.
Patty Mills is running PG and the Spurs are a playoff lock.
Cut out the nonsense.

Yeah, judging by this response, your level of basketball understanding simply isn't there.
For what it's worth, I still think the Spurs make it, but they inherently won't be quite as good if they don't have one of their main rotation players.
No use in arguing with you. Carry on.

@ Simmons practice threes Pretty much the equivalent of practice half court shots for everyone else.

Lol...
You implied that one ROTATION PLAYER’s players potentially serious injury could vault the Lakers into the playoffs. He’s not even the second best player on that team.
I think what’s highlighted here is YOUR lack of understanding.
If Lebron is healthy there is 0 chance that the lakers miss the playoffs. He is not a rotation player and he cannot be replaced in a line up in the way that Murray can.

But he only made four 3’s on 50% from deep, he’s still a non shooter

Another player who peaked as a rookie. His Seattle run was phenomenal as a rook.

Futlz looked like a mess in this game 
On the other hand, Embiid fully looked like Prime Shaq

Pandemonium? It’s literally just video of him warming up. There’s videos like this of every big time player during practice/warmups...it just doesn’t get posted in here because it’s what’s expected of the player. Me posting that video in here is simply for reference to show that he does actually work on his shot. Since it always seems to be questioned in here.

Completely agree. Adding fatigue and risk of injury (Dejonte Murray) to meaningless games makes no sense. I never realized it was this many games.
I get having games at international arenas and cities that don't have an NBA team. They should just scratch home games and just have one or two in other cities.
Honestly, if you are in an NBA city, why on earth would you spend money to watch a preseason game when the regular season will literally start a few days after?
