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

[Maximus Meridius]

Time to trade Bron and AD. This was our last hurrah with those two. Bron old now and I don't trust AD to stay healthy nor do I think he has the dog in him to.lead a team to the finals.

 

[Coupé It]

I still want DLo back.

Is this "receipt pulling"?

It wasn’t for wanting him back.


It was for the MONEY/YEARS you said you’d bring him back for.

 

[fluid hips]

Dlo was feeling himself too much last round. Nuggets exposed him

 

[atlsfinest]

The Laker fan contingent was cool with paying D’Lo $25-30M a year just last month.

It was INSANITY in here.

D'lo is the definition of a 82 game player, not a 16 game player. He's a good 'innings eater' that can player 30 minutes during the regular season but not consistent enough to be relied up in the playoffs. He's lost himself a lot of money over the last few weeks. The new CBA makes hot hard to build a roster when you're paying non-playoff guys this much money.

It kind of reminds me of Montrez Harrell where he would have literally been better off not playing in the playoffs at all than getting exposed this way.

 

[dman14]

if that switch has flipped and MPJ realizes he can be better by actually passing the ball, this team is going to be tough. he really made some smart decisions tonight

 

[Benny Hinn]

Did you call it though? I looked through your post history and all I see is your prediction that the Warriors would win Game 6. Where did you call it, sir?



If you want to get your rocks off and dance on the Lakers grave, go for it. We lost and that comes with the territory, lord knows Lakers fans were talking trash after winning the first two rounds. Whoever loses the Finals is gonna get clowned too.

With they said, there is no need make stuff up.

The nerve of this dude to come in here with his shirt off after this. Typical Dubs fans

Warriors (we) are such a better team.

Klay, Donte, and Wiggins getting warmup shots out there. I could make a few.

If the Warriors simply play contain and switch it up to matchup zone once in a while and then push it with pace and space it should be easy 20 pt victories. They either over help guarding Steph cuz it’s ridiculous trying to use Vanderbilt to guard him or they simply are too used to defending the paint like AD and can’t get out to the shooters quick enough for a real contest.

Also, not a single Laker knows how to chase properly off screens it’s a field day out there if the dubs just run their sets.

Shot quality expectation:
Warriors A
Lakers B-

This truly up to whether Kerr and Dray do a good job of sticking with the script of pace and space.

D’Lo was exposed 4-5 years ago man.

This is nothing new.

I know one thing, ain't no Lakers fans bout to disappear or get banned on purpose to have a excuse

Ratsulls trajectory was hectic

Went from vastly “underrated” with that “lovable” nets team to what he is now, and started with going to the warriors

 

[moe200069]

GS Fans "Rivals" now???

Get to the back of the line, all that lightyears **** is dead.... Back to the Ghetto You Go

there's no "ghetto" to back to... franchise abandoned east oakland for a soulless gentrified neighborhood in frisco

 

[trynafeelmink]

Now there's a ***** with Jalen Brunson as his franchise savior Runnin amuck

ENOUGH

He's a good starter on a non-playoff team. That's just who he is.

@tay1

Now IMAGINE if the Lakers had Brunson instead of D’Lo.

That’s a RING

where in that post I said he was worth 25-30 mil?

 

[DLF]

Proud of the lakers. 13th sees to wcf.

Few tweeks in off season. Load manage bron. Avoid injury bug.

Will be competitive (2nd round and above) again.

Good luck to Boston heat and nuggets fans.

 

[Coupé It]

He's a good starter on a non-playoff team. That's just who he is.

And that’s worth nothing to me.

I wouldn’t pay for that unless it’s a discount.

 

[Coupé It]

Lot of dude

where in that post I said he was worth 25-30 mil?

I didn’t say you did. I said Tay said that.

You just came out of nowhere comparing Brunson to D’Lo

something to be said about the pace of play and intensity of play in the playoffs. the cream rises to the top and defenses tighten up. D'Lo can look good during the regular season when teams aren't playing as hard on defense.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Wait a min- ratsull better than brunson, was that in jest brother

 

[sooperhooper]

Grant Williams need to stop with the trash talk. It's really not his thing.

 

[elpablo21]

Posted their career averages as proof for it

 

[frshstunna]

If the Rockets/Harden thing doesn’t happen that’s one place for D Lo …N I wouldn’t surprised to see yo in Orlando either

Just saying **** to piss Coupé It off,cause he rides for Brunson too hard like he’s been elite for years.Dudes taking it and running w/ it
