THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

Lonzo saved his career

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.

That's not the point. It's all psychological imo

Will Lakers banners be in the rafters at the new Clipjoint that Balmer is forced to cover them?

Will there be statues of Kareem, Chick, Magic that all Clipper fans have to see on their way in to the arena?

Or wouldnt it be better if they walked by statues of Ralph Lawler and Michael Olowokandi instead.

J/k on Olowokadi.

You get my point tho.

Clippers fans WILL be louder in their own arena than in Staples and will make a psychological difference for the Clips entire organi5and fanbase...no matter how many Lakers fans are there.

Trust.

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



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.

You trippin acting like it's wrapped up. You right, it's about 82 games and so far LeBron is avg 25.7, 10.6, 7.8. Best record in the West. Best road record in the league. We all know how these players finish the season means something to the voters.

“Lonzo saved his career”

Or he’s 21 and just getting better Lmfaoooo
Teams invest all this Capitol in one & done prospects and then fans get mad & call em busts when they’re not all-stars by year 3. have some ******* patience.

 

[trynafeelmink]

Lonzo saved his career

he's adding a more reliable handle away from being an AS caliber PG

 

[lawdog1]

Can't speak for everyone, but my hope with the Mook acquisition as a Laker fan was that he was going to take away shots from Kawhi, PG, Trezz. The same goes for Reggie Jackson taking shots from Lou, although that seems to have helped the Clips.

Morris has been a net positive acquisition for the Clippers, he just had a horrific game yesterday. I’m more irritated that Doc played him for 30 minutes when he clearly didn’t have it. Zu only played 13 minutes, Jackson 12 and Shamet 8.

And I think only a couple of Mook’s 9 shoots yesterday were bad. He some good looks. Rather have him shooting those shots than Harkless or McGruder.

 

[pmatic]

More power to Lonzo knocking down open threes.

 

[sohi 23]

You guys have a group of fans whose sole purpose isn't to cheer for their own teams, but to hate on another team and you have the audacity to talk about "rent free". FOH

losers don’t have a favorite team they root for 5 different teams and only found joy in hating on the Lakers

I'll take Trez "I'm not 35 plus yet" Harrell

every one mentions Lebron’s and age as a negative and that’s fair but he’s not the one that has had to be load managed all year. He’s not the one who was limping all over the court and looked like his leg was about to fall off last June.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

You're taking the field in the west then, you're not slick lol. Bet me straight up in a Laker vs Clippers series if they were to meet. I got $150 on the Clippers winning that series if it happens

How bout I raise you $150.

Lakers over Clips in the playoffs, both teams must have their Big 2 fully healthy is my only condition.

$300.

Take it or leave it.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

I don't even know what Nipsey3000 and Brosizzlew30.23 are debating anymore

 

[IATT]

6ers should be all over that fired nets coach

Lonzo saved his career

3&D PG

Giannis "The real MVP" Antetokounmpo is playing in a conference where 7 teams are below .400 and 5 teams are above .600
LeBron is playing in a conference where 2 teams are below .400 and 7 teams are above .600

Gotta love how years of arguing that LeBron is not the MVP because he's playing in the weaker conference has come back to bite the haters in the ***.

This never happened. LeBron won 4 mvps playing in the East.

What is wrong with y’all man?

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

A new player that was just added got starting minutes and only scored 1 point which took away shots from consistent players.

You sure are following alright.

Remember when I prefaced yesterday afternoon around 4pm Pacific that the "excuses are coming"?

 

[pmatic]

6ers should be all over that fired nets coach

Bulls and Knicks probably fit Atkinson's profile better.

 

[leavemeglazzies]

This never happened. LeBron won 4 mvps playing in the East.

What is wrong with y’all man?

He also lost multiple MVPs he deserved to western conference players because of the argument that those who are currently arguing in favor of Giannis are so desperately trying to dodge, Neo style.

 

[firstclass]

Nyyyyyassssty thread right now smh

Been terrible since Saturday

 

[lovehateself]

Clip nation really went from '10-0 when healthy ' to 'we haven't had enough time together'?

goal post will keep moving
" we dont even have joachim noah yet"

 

[wavycrocket]

He also lost multiple MVPs he deserved to western conference players because of the argument that those who are currently arguing in favor of Giannis are so desperately trying to dodge, Neo style.

He never lost an mvp because of that. Guys had better seasons, while he was the better player.

The argument for Bron playing in the East is he had the best talent on his teams for 8 years...including him...and could cakewalk to the finals.

The argument was never he didn’t deserve mvp because of the conference he was in.

Y’all are literally MAKING that up . The only arguable mvp that Bron “Lost” was 2011. To a guy in the Eastern Conference . D Rose.

Stop it!

 

[P C H]

Y’all are wild rn

 

[amitt5504]

If y'all cant handle my opinions and/or fact laden statements, there is an ignore button if I'm not mistaken.

After all, I'm not disrespecting anyone here on a personal level.

Oh nah, its nothing disrespectful fam. You be wildin but its good banter

 

[sohi 23]

Bucks/Nuggets and Raptors/Jazz tonight

 

[trynafeelmink]

This will be something to keep an eye on going forward if we meet the Clippers in the Playoffs for sure.

Lou: Home 19/3/6 on 43/40/89, Road: 18/3/5 on 40/32/83
PG: Home 23/6/4 on 47/47/89, Road: 20/6/4 on 40/33/87
Trez: Home 20/7/2 on 61/ 60 FT, Road: 17/6/1 on 54/ 72 FT

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

I do think that they need to add an "offensive player of the year award" though.
They have one exclusively for defense, whereas the MVP needs to consider both offense and defense. Plus record, and all kinds of other criteria that seems to change on a yearly basis. Whereas defensive player of the year is just that, the defensive player of the year.

Come to think of it, offensive player of the year would've fit perfectly for all the in retrospect controversial MVP awards throughout the years: Westbrook, Rose, Steve Nash and Curry's 1st MVP.

They have A.P. Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year in another sport.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Nah you do be trolling though. No bout a doubt it. And it ain't even on some playing coy tip. It can be pretty blatant

That ain't trolling because everyone in here do the same to Lakers fans when they lose.

It's called rubbing a lil salt wit they opinions.

People jus need to have thicker skin, plain n simple.
