The Official Off-Season NBA Thread

Y’all have never almost fought with a teammate?
I can tell y’all don’t hoop. In the words of @MVP

of course we have, it’s just a funny situation. Plus add to usual Bron passive aggressiveness we get when he’s losing; it makes for great content. I honestly think the Lakers will be alright by end of the season, but the disfunction this earlier was unexpected

There is definitely a vibe of "we're not finishing this season with this roster"

Ratface had bron mad as hell

Lebron not use to talking junk. grew up playing on nice hardwood floors and not on cement playground with the "hoopers"

serious question:

What is it like to root for a team with really no players who have any attachment to anything? Do you feel less attachment to the team?

Russell Westbrook has become underrated

I think it might be 2011 Heat all over again

They’ll get better and might look invincible at times but will get defeated by a team with better ball movement

Sports is a business. Nothing to be attached to

I know last night was a lot of yous championship but I had dinner plans lol

It is what it is. There is less attachment to this team compared to even the 2020 team.

My two little brothers are both Lakers fans and have acknowledged feeling less enthusiasm about the team during the LeBron era due to lack of connection/history with the players on the roster.

Would not give a damn about attachment if it meant my teams winning a chip lol

 

[lawdog1]

I know they won last night but the Qyrie-less Nets not looking scary. But I’ll give Jimbo some more time to play himself into shape (or caring more), which seems to be needed.

Yea not sure where #they going with that. Good for you for being attached to a team that has no shot at winning the title lol

The Russ thing for the lakers is inexplicably bizarre. They just won a title. They saw playoff russ first hand and decided “yeah let’s grab Russ and sign on to pay him 44ms and 47Ms” it was a bizarre move that completely killed anything they could do worthwhile as far as improving the roster

a bizarre move that ultimately created a pretty bizarre team.

AD and Bron deserve the benefit of the doubt so 2 games really not **** but it truly is a bizarre team. Why is Russell Westbrook AND DJ starting for a contender in 2021? Carmelo? Rondo? Just wild

For some reason this got me feeling real good about the Lakers chances this season

 

[Maximus Meridius]

This _ Rondo threatened a fan with that tool

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Rondo outta pocket for that but it’s still hilarious lol

Never know if the fan said anything foul but he wasn’t missing out on anything anyway

 

[youngwolf]

Lebron stans on here started calling this “in-game load management” a couple of years ago.

Huh
