Lacob losing A TON of money with the new arenas being empty.

On the bright side, the real Warriors fans of the Bay area can now afford to go back to the games again. :nthat:


Go back for what? This team isnt worth watching and needs to be flexed out of all primetime games including X-Mas day. That is basically a slap in the face to those fans. Now that we are rebuilding and not a contender this year, tickets are cheap enough on the secondary market (or wherever they are purchased) where they can get in the building. At least during the "We Believe" era they were competitive. This team would not even be competitive in the G - League.
 
If I'm a Laker fan tonight is fun but I wouldn't feel good about what means long term.

half our team is new & still trying to get use to the offense, our third best scorer just returned from injury, we got surprisingly killed on the boards tonight & some of our better shooters missed some nice looks tonight... & we still came back & won the game on the road

ther's def more positives to take out of this game then negatives
 
He wasn't meshing well with Curry, now he has the green light he did in Brooklyn. This is good for Golden State, Dlo is gonna put up big mumbers as the Warriors rack up blowout losses. He's fulfilling his destiny as a high usage, low efficiency scorer on a bad team.

It was 4 games. And they had one game where they combined for 50/10/19.

Without Curry it’s an entirely different team in what he has now in GSW for the next 2 months, versus when he was in BK. He also dragged a team to the playoffs.

But narratives and what not.

They can't flex games out when there are no other games to flex in. This isn't the NFL, which can just move any Sunday game into the prime time slot. ESPN has the luxury from time to time because they don't have the exclusivity of TNT, and can pick from the other 10+ games happening on a Friday night, if need be.

DLo didnt "drag" anybody to the playoffs. he was a decent player on a decent team. period

"Dragged" ?? Levert was the best player on that team up until his Injury, After that D'Lo stepped up & played well down the stretch, but he didn't drag them anywhere
 
Drose averaging over 20 ppg on better than 50 percent shooting right now.

Wonder how long he can keep it up. Word is he's already dealing with a hamstring strain but playing through it

I know that, I was just speaking for conversation sake. They can't move the X-Mas game and on Thursday nights (TNT) there are usually only 3 games, which TNT has two of.
 
perfect.

they were 8-15 on December 1st last year.

He put up 22.4/7.4 from December 1st through the end of the year.
Just a heads up only 3 guys did better than 22/7 in 2018-19

They were a 30 win team if he wasn’t there.
any successful team is gonna be worse without their best or second best player.

wasnt he on that team when it was 8-15? DLo isnt a "put the team on his back" caliber player. that description is reserved for the best in the game... KD, LBJ, KLAW etc.

certainly not DLo. although he is a good player
 
who did the Clippers beat again besides the Lakers?
giving up about 120 a game for a defensive juggernaut that they are made out to be ain’t it chief. PG return can be a bad thing for them as much as it can be a good thing. We can only wait and see though.
there isnt 1 team in the league that isnt trying to iron out wrinkles and figure out their identity.

saying that PG coming back could be a bad thing for LAC is wishful thinking at best for anyone that believes that. there arent many objective fans that think that.

before the season started, the lakers were the biggest team in the league and destined to give every other team fits on the glass (especially LAC), but yet they are middle of the pack in rebounding right now...and out rebounded on opening night.

point is not to **** on any team. but stop moving the goal posts. every team is in the process of figuring out exactly who they are and who they want to be

What does that 14 game stretch have to do with anything? They had a losing record when LeVert went down.
And when LeVert came back, he was back to who he was in previous years.

They played at a 48 win pace from December 1st on. Where DLo played at an All Star Level caliber and on numerous occasions they lose if not for him.

He’s not god, nor is he a top 10 PG right now. But hell, give the guy his due credit.

that Nets team in 2018-19 would have been the 12th seed with 28-30 wins had DLo not saved that season and woken up when he did and done it through the end of the year
 
It gets to a point where i be wondering if he could still throw some down like the old days, but just doesn't attempt out of safety concerns. Because dude is still moving 100 mph out there
He's balling, but doesn't look like he has the same speed or lift.

saying he was a good player on a good team isnt giving DLo his just due?
