wiggins with outstanding defense

 

[B Sox]

Always thought it was funny how Russell was dismissed almost immediately by the fans but Ingram has every chance in the world

I guess I always chalked it up to the Nick Young thing souring people on him. Laker fans are funny though.

He talking About Wiggins brother obviously

Couldnt the lakers move dlo to 2 and ball at point instead

Would've been trash defensively, but they'd complement each other very nicely offensively.

They could've at least tried.

If you’re Walton, do you start the better player in Kuzma or do you stick with your #2 pick?

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Kuzma the truth has all the mechanics of a star

I think Kuz is more effective as a Small Ball 4. But yes, he looks better than Ingram so far.

 

[krazy88s]

It's preseason I know but I like how my Nets look thus far.

Crabbe's shooting is as advertised, RHJ took the hitch out of his shot, DLo has the green light. Overall shooting is a lot better.

It started way before that. Some of them were all over D’Angelo in his first summer league game before his rookie year even began.

D slow is on his way to becoming an all star

He's gonna keep stealing more & more mins from either ingram or randle and then luke won't have a choice. it's going to become a pretty big subplot after a while. media gonna keep asking him about it.

Like others have noted, Magic put the battery in Ingram's back. He woulda been better off not saying anything. Ton of pressure to put on a kid.

I give myself a lot of credit, and take pride in being a vocal leader of the the irrational Dslow hate .

 

[HIM]

Contrary to the narrative, Wiggins is actually an elite defender.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Ingram is cooked. What we've been seeing in preseason is as as good as he's ever gonna be. Should've picked bender

 

[B Sox]

Young Jaylen better than him in every facet of the game

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Jeff green about to have a better season than Brandon

 

[firstclass]

Young Jaylen better than him in every facet of the game

Same could be said about the Celtics rebuild

You say this like the Lakers will be good defensively without Dlo

Magic & Rob wanted to make this their team. They thought Ingram was better than Dlo. It'll be the first thing we look back on when Magic resigns or gets fired in a couple of years.

They really thought Ingram was baby KD. LMFAO.

Dlo looked so good last night. I'm sad man. Hard to even get excited for the year but at least Lonzo will be fun to watch.

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

F KD

Yeah, I didn't mean for it to come out like that. Their team defense is going to be atrocious regardless. I just thought that those two would complement each other very well offensively. One excels in transition and the other is significantly better in the halfcourt.

They had to make that cap room for Westbrook though.
