So what do you find "ugly"?

Finishing is sloppy. Obviously a shaky jump shot. Just don’t think he’ll maintain his efficiency as they play better teams.

They are winning and he’s stuffing the stat sheet so it’s hard to knock him.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Lol wut

You were better off acting like you never said the things you said, here we go again though

You watch Snapchat. I’ll watch film

Hey man....You're betting on Westbrook, Black Gordon Hayward and a soon to be 34 year old Carmelo Anthony playing efficient, two way, ball moving basketball in year 1 of being together with a thin bench.

They'll win games for sure off of sheer talent, and will look every part of a "super team" some nights/stretches.....but these old habits and chemistry issues will rear their ugly heads over the course of the season, and at the most important times come playoffs.

Grant needs more minutes though.

im so shocked okc isnt as good as people hyped them up to be. iso russ. thats all he knows. he aint built to run an efficient offense. when they had a top "offense" is was in spite of him not because of him. thats how good kd is.
sad kd had to put up with that nonsense all these years.... okc traded the wrong dude. shouldve kept harden and kd together. cant win with russ.

Harden and KD would be unstoppable. With Ibaka and shooters around.

 

[SupremeBeing5]

But KD could've gone to HOU and passed.

#OKC is the only team in the #NBA (0-5) winless vs conference opponents.

jesus

Not sure if I want him freed or convicted.. Kinda leading towards the latter.. the drama would be fire, that goofy looking dude a convict smh . you already know trump not negotiating for bruh release.

 

[pums]

Ben Simmons always had an unorthodox way of finishing tho

 

[j rain]

S/O to those who were loyal to the process during the Henry Sims era.

And this is true. Blake griffin has some ugly stuff in the paint too but he’s effective. I’m reserving judgment on him as a finisher

If Trump starts talking about the Ball family, I’m done bruh. I can see the tweets now “Will not negotiate with China for the release of LiAngelo Ball. He’s a criminal with a crazy dad. Lock him up!”

^Makes me feel old as ****

Games 20 years from now will be INSANE

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

There are 13 teams with worse records than the Lakers right now

 

[Quincy McCall]

NT really is trying to set a new record for hot takes to start a season it worsens by the year

C'mon man, you would've been cooking with grease had OKC been playing well

Finally getting a chance to watch film on Ben Simmons.

His box scores look good, film is still ugly to me. I don’t think he can sustain this efficiency either.

Don't buy it either, he's proved that he's the goods but his offense doesn't really scream efficient 18 PPG. He's a better scorer than I initially thought tho... 16, 13, 6, 3 and 3 without a jumper. Almost averaging a 18 PPG triple double, coming for everything NT(including me) said he couldn't have

read it in his voice. Well...Trevor Noah's imitation of his voice. Lol

I laugh to keep from crying.

L...o...L

LiAngelo ain't doing a damn week. China loves basketball he'll be free by Friday because of Kobe.

Both are top 20....right now

5 in a row

Old guy in the back is what happens if Simmons and Embiid had a baby.
