THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[lamekilla]

Why didn't they adapt on opening night and on Xmas?

Dudes let a fresh legged Lebron slide and are now hyping up a Lebron who's gonna have to do everything. He's gonna be so gassed after the first round of the playoffs. This is about to be hilarious

 

[Nipsey3000]

Let's bring some objectivity then shall we?

The Clippers are moving out of Staples Center, even if they never got kicked out to begin with, because they are tired of being in the Lakers shadow, they want to make more money, and call their own place their own home so they can gain some semblance of a home court advantage.

Subjective statement or The objective truth and nothing but?

Even if the game yesterday was played in the new stadium in Inglewood, there would still be a good number of Lakers fans there. So, yep.

 

[tay1]

Again, cause Avery Bradley was hitting everything. Avery Bradley being a viable option come playoff times is gonna be jokes. Y'all need everybody playing an immaculate game meanwhile Clips showed they could beat the Lakers without PG

So Bron, AD and Avery is everybody playing immaculately? Nah. This was the team on somewhat of an off night offensively

We have a different person every game stepping it up. One game it’s Avery, the next it’ll be Kieff, the next game it’ll be Kuz, Caruso and so forth. Just give it up bruh. Y’all was outhustled that game.

And when did they show this? This Laker squad has grown and has far more chemistry. Let’s also not forget how PG disappeared in the fourth quarter and how he struggled in the Christmas game.

 

[Moheezy]

I am FLOORED by OKC this year. I figured easily they would flip/buy out CP3, try to flip Gallo and/or Adams and stack even more picks on cap space + young pieces.

These ****ers flirting with the 4 seed. AND lined up for a bright future. *Tips hat*

They are competing while they stockpiled on draft assets. As a small market, this is where they need to be. I personally think they should compete, Gallo wants to resign, Adams is pretty chill, unless he requests a trade, I don't think he gets moved until his contract year. CP3 is lifting this team and proving his worth. worst case, he will also be easier to move later on with less years on his contract (if he keeps playing well).

 

[Nipsey3000]

Easy.

Cause they were still figuring things out with each other.
Brand new team, need some time to gel. Not rocket science bruh.

And 4 months later they now a juggernaut while the Clips still having chemistry and big man issues.

Subjective statement? Lmao

I dont think so

Thing is, you've been talking since July. Opening night Lakers lose. You had excuses. Then you were taking leading up to Xmas, Lakers lose, you had more excuses. Lakers get one and somehow this one means everything and the other 2 mean nothing?

 

[atransta]

Word is...Atkinson was out of DEANDRE JORDAN not starting

Send his *** to houston

Lakers cruising through the Grizzlies/Kings/Pelicans/Blazers/Spurs in 5 at most.
Meanwhile, you better hope that the Clippers get the Thunder in the first round, because although they'll win against the Mavericks/Rockets/Jazz/Nuggets, it will be in 6 or 7.

When has this not been the case? We still doubting playoff Bron?
IDC if he 35, that ***** on different timing.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Doc could've had the Clips attacking the basket and got AD out of there but he saved that hat trick for later date. The Lakers as presently constructed aren't built to win a championship. If celebrating the Lakers losing the season series to the clippers 1-2 hasn't showed you yet than the playoffs will

LMAOOOOOO

So basically, what you're saying is this: "the Clippers' championship hopes rests on hoping that AD fouls out against y'all 4 games outta 7.

Hang on TIGHTLY to that 2-1 regular season series lead bro. Treasure it.

In fact, Clippers the type of organization to hang a banner in the rafters that say "2-1! 2019-20 regular season city champs"

You gotta love the excuses

Give us more bro, we want more

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Thing is, you've been talking since July. Opening night Lakers lose. You had excuses. Then you were taking leading up to Xmas, Lakers lose, you had more excuses. Lakers get one and somehow this one means everything and the other 2 mean nothing?

Who said I had excuses Christmas day?

I said the Lakers played like crap for shooting 3 point bricks in the 4th when they were leading damn near the whole game.

Pull the receipts. I urge you bro. Let's see you find the "excuses."

Fact is, I dont make excuses. I call it like I see it.

Opening night huh? Game 1 of 82 huh? You think that game means more than game #61?

Maybe it's you who needs to stop the bs excuses and be honest to yourself.....tell me, how in the name of jesus christ is Zubac and Harrell going to be effective INSIDE THE PAINT against the Big and Tall and Mighty Lebron-Led Los Angeles Lakers?!?!?

 

[JD617]

What’s the case for Lebron NOT WINNING MVP now?

Uhh the case is that Giannis leads the league in every metric and his team is at the top of the league.

Giannis is outstanding and he’s got at least one more MVP in his future but Lebron snatched the trophy out of his hands the other night.

The award is for 82 games, not 1.

And LeBron very well may be the best player in the league still, and there's a good chance he shows that in the playoffs again like he's done the previous 7 years he's been in the playoffs. But it's a regular season award and he hasn't been better in the regular season than Giannis this year.

 

[buc em]

We all need to make a pact to stop replying to this Bronsizzle dude

 

[lamekilla]

Laker boys disregarding the opening night and christmas game because the Lakers hadn't yet gelled together but the Clippers have barely played 20 games with a healthy roster

 

[atlsfinest]

Lakers are winning both but whatever

Those who doubted me last week, where you at?

Hot take or not? Lakers beat Bucks on Friday, upping Lebron’s MVP campaign and then Lakers lose to Clippers on Sunday

lamekilla , do you ever get tired of being wrong? Like for real.

 

[darthska]

I've said for years that they need to come up with a Best Player award, because people constantly confuse MVP with best player.

Leading another player in a ton of stats definitely has something to do with the MVP award and it very well should, but who has been more valuable to the league? If you took one player away, how much of an impact would it have compared to another player? The one who would have the least impact on being taken away, that guy is not the most valuable player in the league.

[rolaholic]

Word is...Atkinson was out of DEANDRE JORDAN not starting

Yea I'd have to resign too if DJ's starter status had any bearing whatsoever on my job security and peace mind

 

[amitt5504]

Laker fans still mentioning ALA like we actually doing anything lol

something something rent free something something

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

We went on a run with Lebron on the bench in the third

And saving the hat trick for a later date

Lame trembling as he type. Going out sad. Hate to see it

I know right. Instead of just manning up and say yeah y'all the overall bettercteam this late in the season, their fanbase got excuse after excuse just like....

Queue the Pat Bev-in-Denial-and-looking-hella-depressed post game clip from last night please

Gotta love it folks.

 

[amitt5504]

@ them

Fam YOU KNOW exactly who it is. Only one person

 

[T0INE]

Word is...Atkinson was out of DEANDRE JORDAN not starting

Yikes.

This gotta be the NBA equivalent of getting fired on your day off.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Depends on the wager

Clippers won't be in the finals. $150

 

[darthska]

Laker fans still mentioning ALA like we actually doing anything lol

something something rent free something something

Well of course you're not doing anything right now, my guy. We just won back-to-back games against top 4 teams. Of course ALA isn't doing anything right now. C'mon bruh, we both know the rules. ALA is quiet on wins, loud on losses, just like Stans are loud on wins and quiet on losses.

 

[trynafeelmink]

More like 30% Lakers fans. But it's ok. Take that 60% narrative anywhere you wanna take it

Bruh you know we ALL saw the same game right? We all heard constant Lebron MVP chants, We all heard the crowd going crazy for the Lakers to close the game... That was regular season.

A lot of the writers & reporters in the building said it was atleast 60/40 Lakers, Now think playoffs after the Lakers haven't been in Seasons, then add in Kobe's passing this year......

If there was ever a hostile playoff situation to come into it will be the Lakers this year, unfortunately for the Clips they gotta play every game there to advance.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

I challenge anyone here to pull receipts of me making "excuses" after the Lakers lost to the Cluppers on opening night and XMas Day.

I'll wait.

And if you cant pull any excuse receipts from me from Oct and Dec 25th, then you may as well look in the mirror and give yourself a thumbs up
