Rockets puttin' foot to ass vs. the Thunder right now.

3 after 3, after 3, after 3.....lol

George Damn near fouled out at the start of the 3rd.

I don't think the roids are even enough to help Noah play for more than half the Season.

Poor Zingers.

 

[shopson67]

Actually, he's the better of all 3, offensively.

Lavar is making a mistake.

LiAngelo is not nearly as good as the other two and the Ball stock is gonna fall when people realize Lonzo is a team guy that doesn't care about putting up 20ppg.

He's Jason Kidd, not Magic Johnson.

In 2 years, who's gonna use a 1st rounder on a kid who didn't play High School nor College ball?

He's still going to UCLA. He's only going to be home-schooled as a high school replacement.

 

[shopson67]

Not sure if you're an UCLA fan but I'm seeing rumors that Liangelo (not sure if I'm spelling it right) won't start this year at UCLA and may only get 15 minutes per night. Would be interesting to see how Lavar takes that.

LiAngelo is just another college player, nothing special. He wasn't a highly ranked prospect (#225 overall, #50 at his position, #20 in state). I think Lavar is completely aware of the talent level of his kids.

Starting to think it is very possible that Brooklyn finish with a better record than the Knicks

Based on one preseason game, with new players that just arrived? Bit of a hot take this early, but could happen. They'll miss Melo now that he's gone...

Yea I'm known for my bold predictions. 98% rate actually

 

[shopson67]

Besides that, I don't need to tell you that part of playing sports is learning social skills and how to interact with others. I personally believe that Lavar is doing his son a disservice which will one day cause his son some regrets

Look at it this way; the kid is a celebrity and drives to school in a Lambo. Nothing he experiences in the last two years of high school was going to be remotely normal. Distractions abound.

T.J. Warren - The Suns 2nd best player after Bledsoe.

Yup.

Devin Booker got traded?

I disagree. Eventually this kid will have enter society and interact with other adults who wont think that he is God's gift to the world and expect him to have social skills that he would have learned in high school and 12 years from now when his friends when his friends are have their first high school reunion, he will be left out of the loop because his dad thought he was to good for them. LM is demonstrating some very poor parenting skills imo

Love whiteside lol

Devin Booker got traded?

Lol. Devin Booker.....

 

[larryjohn]

Lol. Devin Booker.....

Actually Josh Jackson did some really nice things. (His 3-point shot still looks weird -- but he knocked down a couple.) 6 TOs though.

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

Great series @Mecca, @LAD, @trojanfan12.

Last one! Good luck!

Congrats to the Lynx. Fun game. I thought the Sparks were going to catch them with that late run that got them within 3 with about 30 seconds left. But the Lynx hit a big shot and their free throws.

Years ago, Pat Riley and the Showtime Lakers said..."No rebounds, no rings."

The Lynx got the rebounds (Fowles had 20 ) and the rings.

Agree. Plus, the way things are now, a lot of these kids don't really need their high school teams to make a name for themselves. For better or worse, AAU takes care of that.

Besides, something tells me that the entire athletic department at Chino Hills High School let out a collective sigh of relief about not having to deal with LaVar anymore.
