THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[antidope]

Bron cuts so many corners in the game at this stage. And the longer the season goes and the higher the comp gets...It will be more glaring and harmful. Really is Big Russ circa 16-18.

-Doesn’t defend
-Doesn’t get back in transition
-Doesn’t move without the ball
-Doesn’t shoot well against good teams

Him having a great b-ball IQ is saving him right now.

He really is the fulcrum of this team. Anthony Davis is not capable of being that, and LeBron just can't handle doing everything at this stage. He's allowed to cut corners, but Anthony Davis should be doing more.. If he's truly top five and all the other lies people keep telling him.

Im sure this will be enshrined in Staples right next to the Blake Griffin Gandhi posters

he’s the leading scorer & anchors the entire defense..... but he should do “more” yes our Center should also be taking over playmaking duties

Aaron Rodgers type vibes from AD

It was a very merry Christmas

Okayyyy....talk your talk.

How do you know what Staples look like?

This is why Bev can’t have nice things. Dude has been ejected twice playing against Harden

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

No, I’m saying they are severely undersized, especially against a team like the Clippers.

No teams have peaked yet.

Lakers just losing to good teams, which isn’t particularly surprising. Y’all like to put them on some pedestal like they are better than others, which they clearly aren’t.

It's Decrmber. 24-7 and still first in the West and no where near firing on all cylinders just like the others. At the end of the day, peak Lebron + peak AD is better than any other duo in the league. Lakers make a trade or two, plus get a buyout veteran and perception all of a sudden changes. Yea, the Clips are "better" right now. That was expected by most people. Nobody expected the Lakers to start off on pace to win 60+.

The real trash talk gonna begin in the playoffs.

Top 5 and DPOY

If that’s true, it seems the Lakers should be better when AD is on the floor and LeBron is off than when AD is out and LeBron is in, but that hasn’t been the case.

You think the Clippers are firing on all cylinders? they've played several games without their two best players. There's no proof or evidence behind saying Lebby/AD is the best duo in the league either

 

[tay1]

If that’s true, it seems the Lakers should be better when AD is on the floor and LeBron is off than when AD is out and LeBron is in, but that hasn’t been the case.

The team is more catered to Lebrons strengths. Which are a gang of spot up 3 point shooters who’s at their best when Lebron drives and dishes it. None of them are good enough playmakers by themselves which is what we need. AD still top 5 and DPOY

Sure it is

 

[trynafeelmink]

ive been saying this all year & will continue All three of the top teams don’t have elite playmaking

Giannis doesn’t have another good playmaker around him
Kawhi/PG are okay playmakers
Lakers have LeBron and two guys in Rondo & AD who are average at best..

this game came down to guys making shots ( Lakers missed plenty) it isn’t like the Clippers created space in this game due to playmaking... at the end of this game it was 1on1 ISO’s & getting freethrows

Half the team can’t even make a post entry pass without it being a TO bruh lol

 

[freeze]

RIP to the instagram post with #WashedKing Bron was gonna put up later tonight

It was prolly gonna be epic too. Son gon save it til they play Atlanta again.

 

[tay1]

All in all I like how we handled PG. Paul George been shooting a lil bad lately. We play like we did against PG and have a close to absent Lou Will again, and I like our chances. I got nothing to be upset about

I basically said that by saying we have no playmakers. Most of them are spot up shooters

Bron Ball in year 17 at age 35 playing in the west and a faster league....

The bolts are loosening up before the wheels fall off. Shaky foundation.

 

[antidope]

he’s the leading scorer & anchors the entire defense..... but he should do “more” yes our Center should also be taking over playmaking duties

I've seen it happen. He sees that Bron is breaking down be the top five guy. Don't sit there shooting jumpers that you don't convert at a high enough clip to justify them. Run some more DHOs, set more screens, be the top five guy.

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

Let's go Clippers

Yea taking a step back, we should be able to handle the majority of teams in the regular season as is. But we definitely need upgrades for the long haul and to get out of the habit of taking teams lightly. That starts with Bron. But there's a lot of good things to takeaway from all 4 losses and valid reasons that we should be able to address. End of the day this was a bad loss and one we easily should've handled

AD needs to demand the ball and be more aggressive on offense

He keeps trying to just play within the flow of the game instead of take over when they need him to
