The Official NBA Season Thread: Las Vegas Summer League

[WASHED KING]

Poole guaranteed to play better. No elite speed guards to keep up with him on offense. No elite scoring guards either. Reaves gon be lemon pepper chicken wings.

Laker fans busy throwing out season averages as their argument.

Warriors also were terrible on the road coming into the series. Won 2 tough games on the road including game 7.

Season averages don't mean **** come playoffs. Different animal.

I know the Lakers gave up 2 wins to a Memphis team with small guards and 1 big man with less 3 point shooting and ball movement and slower pace. And also no curry. That happened a week ago.

Grizz backcourt > Warriors backcourt.

Ja and Bane better than every guard on GS roster not named Steph.

If the Warriors dominated the season series I wonder if we'd still be saying it doesn't matter

Honestly, it’s nasty on both sides but I expected a lot better from ALA

N41D @SneakerProSr. @D StaXX

Welp, lol. Predictable since the day he arrived

They don't want Wood? I'm astonished.

Respek da Champs. Be quiet

They’ve lost their fastball.

They see the writing on the wall, so it’s to be expected, but it’s kinda sad.

Draymond is fundamentally a ridiculous person.

Genius basketball player but just ridiculous...

Guess the underrating of Magic's legacy has begun...



Folks are really letting prisoner of the moment syndrome minimize what he accomplished in 13 seasons

9 finals appearences in 13 seasons, 5 rings, 3x MVP and FMVP's, 12x AS's,9x All-NBA 1st team, 4x assist leader,0x missing the playoffs

His resume is legit unmatchable with any PG

You should respect them enough to double up

 

[freeze]

You do realize this exact logic on top of having two top 10 players is exactly why Laker fans are confident going into this series??

Team has 4-5 players outside of Bron who could score 15-20 points & it wouldn't be a huge surprise, they had one of the better records in the league after the AS break missing Bron for the majority of it & D'Lo for a third.

Also i would imagine coming off a 40 point victory in a season where at 1 point you had less tham 1% chance to make the playoffs would be seen as momentum

You know they had the easiest schedule post all star break right? And #1 in free throw attempts. It was designed for them to be right here. Don't get confused with them being legit. They're good. But not great. They have holes too.

eh I think it's totally reasonable to think this. It's close enough where you can make an argument either way.

Magic was the best offensive player of his era.
Steph is the best offensive player of his era.

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Damn that's wild. What guard on the Lakers is as good as Fox? Or even Monk?

Gimme a name.

Even Schroeder dropped 26 against gsw . Yall backcourt defense is food. Credit to loon and dray but that's where it stops on that end. Again, no real analysis probably because the Warriors don't really have the upper hand in this matchup.

Yeahhhh I'll take Steph all day. Magic legit loses all of them games curry goes crazy in.

That Okc game that Steph hit that 40' gw..double bang...warriors lose by 30 with magic Johnson.

Last night with magic...warriors lose.

Last playoff, vs Celtics, with magic, warriors lose.

KD doesn't leave to come play with magic. He already had a guard that got all the stats and couldn't shoot.

 

[dacomeup]

There’s zero chance I’m going to be able to keep up with this thread with this Lakers/Warriors serious. Y’all are INSANE

 

[Arthur Shelby]

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I was gon say

And then career games is right there too . Embiid and AD are damn near the same age

 

[moonman818]

Disrespecting Magic for a guy with ONE FMVP in 6 trips

 

[moonman818]

Would we be even saying Steph is better than Isiah Thomas if KD didn't carry them to two rings in three years?

Isiah Thomas though

Y’all were up 10-9 on the cards so far- don’t ruin it

uh, yes.
