**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[freeze]

I hear you G Money. Hopped on that bandwagon when your team fell off. Just own it.



You can have a favorite and all that but you root for Steph corny *** and the game goofy warriors? and we let you live for a minute but some of your post been damn near ALA lately. Sad.

Get it together.

I don't like Bron. I own it lol. I don't want him here. I own that too. And my posts haven't been anti Lakers, it's been anti y'all . And maybe their stupid management. Jeanie is an idiot. I liked her better when she was just on the business side. They're all the way out of pocket. We aren't being run like a championship contender right now. And there's a lot of leaks in the organization. Either from the front office or brons people or idk...but way too much confidential information is getting out. I'm always going to call out the bs. I did it when Kobe was here and I'll do it now. That's still family doh.

^^^ There are plenty of fair criticisms of CP3 and he is past his prime, but he still ranks as one of the most skilled basketball players in the league. Shot, handle, passing, court awareness all are still very high level.

 

[Nipsey3000]

If they did everything fair and square I wouldn't care. I know you're a clipper fan but you can call it like it is..can't you?

If kawhi was a laker, you wouldn't be so concerned with where the Clippers play.

But since he's a clipper, everything is in question and foul play?

More footage of the cp3 move...

The amount of separation he created is stooooooopid

He creates the same amount of separation on his BS push off move that he's been allowed to get way with for years.

Put all the laker clipper ******** to the side because it's not even about that. It's a greasy way to do business. Don't know how you can deny that. Ballmer just so happened to drop half a mill to help get the mayor get reelected and then his stadium gets approved in a fraudulent way. I wouldn't like it if the Lakers did it, I wouldn't like it if my mama did it. It's dirty politics in favor of gentrification

As a Warrior fan, I couldnt disagree with this more.

I said from the jump that I know nothing lasts forever and that this dynasty will eventually end. I am just thrilled that it wasnt James Harden and Chris Paul being the ones to end it. I could take what happened last year much better than I would have been able to take losing to those two clowns.

Damn @ the hate for Paul/Harden.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Yea aight Russ.

 

[lawdog1]

Damn @ the hate for Paul/Harden.

It’s a pretty interesting thing these days that so many sports fans seem to put as much or more energy into rooting against teams/players they don’t like as they do into rooting for who they do like. I don’t think it was always like that, but maybe it was and I just didn’t realize it because there wasn’t a record of it on the Internet.

 

[moderndarwin]

as a dubs fan i agree - we lost valiantly and i feel okay the dynasty ended that way with everyone going out on their sword.

if we lost to the clown shoe state farm brigade of paul and soften that would of been something i could never really get past.

 

[niketock88]

This kid kyrie told jackie macmullan..that hes a “literal basketball genius”. Im sick of this nerd. Dude really thinks hes morpheus. So glad he left the town. He couldn't handle it

Yea I don't understand either. But we know there is an emotional aspect of fandom that can be irrational at times.

It is what it is, I hope Harden can get one so he is validated.

Been like that for a long time now. Since message boards really got poppin. I would say 05-06. Kobe was hated and rooted against like people knew him personally. Once Lebron jumped to Miami it went up a level.

Not sure if Broussard is @bballkid11 or @MVP ....but THIS is hilarious

He's had opportunities to validate himself. Ain't like it's been outta his control.

It’s crazy.

He’s just playing the game though. They made a good point about his approach on The Jump today:

Since the salary cap stops him from being FC Barcelona/ Real Madrid and buying the best players he’s just going to outspend the lakers on staff and facilities.

He’s got a better front office than the Lakers and eventually he’ll have a better practice facility and arena.

He’s smarter than Jeanie by an unquantifiable amount.

I find comfort in the fact that even if the clippers win 15 championships, Los Angeles is still a Laker City. That’s something money can’t change

Idk man. People hated Jordan. But you might be right. It was a situation where...damn Lakers can't win? Well, least LeBron losing.. still feels like a win lol. Like a Westbrook triple dub or Carmelo 30 pt game in a loss.


I think Bron an nter and read all my comments over the yrs and that's why he came to the show. To get back at me.

This happens every day in almost every single major deal. Palms get greased all the time.

Not saying it's right, but don't act like the Clippers just changed the game.

You wanna talk gentrification and it's ramifications on the inner city, that's one thing.

To blame the Clippers as if they are the first, is another entirely.
