The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

Wait why are y’all saying Malone is wrong when y’all were in here doing the same damn thing he’s talking about

“We gonna be okay game 2”
“We got it figured out”
“They won’t score like that again”
“That was a good loss”

Are you Nuggets/Lakers games that have Dwight Howard and Rajon Rondo in Laker jerseys?

Denver is a dominant home team bro.
Lakers are a really good home team. 2020 Rondo and Dwight would be useful but Dlo will play better at home.

Denver has home court. Lakers need to win a road game. I think they can do it based on how they competed in games 1 & 2. Won’t be easy though.

Literally before the end of game 1 Van Gundy and Mark were saying the Nuggets should feel like they lost and “The Lakers figured Something Out with Rui”. ESPN and Fox ran with this narrative. Shannon and Skip said Denver should feel like they lost game 1. Jamelle Hill was tweeting the same thing and Nick Wright was co-signing it all. Malone wasn’t making it all up.

This was a direct NT take

damn my bad,

Mike Malone in his infinite wisdom just hit the "Jamal make insane shots" adjustment.
only a true tactition could come up with that.

NT hot takes sizzle but this dude is acting like every national NBA American basketball media reporter is saying this

some of them got off a few Rui takes but aint no one counting out the number 1 seed

edit: and giving the takes airtime, why? you won the game.

Really want this postszn to end already so the Knicks can get to dealing [or not].

Talk that talk Malone

Rui guarding Jokic was the secret switch that guaranteed Lakers in 5

He just stayed with what has worked for them this season and especially these playoffs. They eventually get hot and they are very hard to stop when they get there.

Lakers must win game 3

FIGURED IT OUT!

Go Heat...

Malone aint gonna get much credit from a lot of folks even if they get a ring

I don’t disagree, but still feel like Malone is taking it too much to heart. Shannon and Nick Wright are the two biggest LeBron slurpers in the media - to be expected from them.

But I guess if he’s doing what he feels is necessary to keep his team motivated, I guess we should just let him cook.

When your teams half court offense has ground to a halt,

id make some acutual adjustments
rather than just pray Jamal Murray turns into Steph Curry in the 4th

 

[frink85]

man has the number one seed team dominated the west up 2-0 and is acting like hes coaching Rudy and the Fighting Irish

 

[T0INE]

DCAllAfrican explain yourself.

We’re not talking enough about the huge mins from Bruce Brown. Jawing with the Lakers bench and making some crucial plays to keep the lead under double digits. Especially at a point when Joker and Murray didn’t have it going.
