2019-2020 Official Regular Season Thread

And no one knows this better than Lebron, yet he still sees this as an opportunity to get some attention.

Hammer time......

Phoenix or Vegas is sounding great around August or September.

...or Montana, nudge nudge

Phil has major weed.

This would absolutely happen...lmfao

“This is a Laker town,” Williams, who played with the Lakers from 2015-17, says. “There ain’t no confusion about that. That’s perfectly fine with us. We prefer it for the odds to go against us. I think that brings the best out of us. I think that’s just the difference [between] playing for the Clippers and the Lakers. So much is expected of the Lakers from the beginning and it’s, like, surprising if we do something.”

Later in the interview, the trio talks about what a Clippers championship parade would look like in L.A. Williams says it’d be interesting because they’re splitting a city with another team; Harrell believes they’d hear cheers along with boos depending on where in Los Angeles they’re at; and Pat claims that they’d be so turnt that they wouldn’t even care. “It makes sense for our whole mantra and everything that we stand for,” Williams says. “We’ll be the first team in NBA history that it’s L.A. our way and we can possibly hear boos at our own parade. I want to win it for the experience.”

Again?

10 years ago they had the 4th highest winning% in NBA history, you casual.

Oh, we know he's a huge attention whore.

Only thing about his involvement that raises a eyebrow for me is, when has anyone's mental health, drug problems improved by moving TO LOS ANGELES?

Send that guy to Wyoming.

Would depend on where he goes. If he goes into a rehab/psych hospital and Lebron or someone can make sure he stays...he'd be fine.

Without that, it's not going to matter where he goes. It may be harder to get his drugs, etc. in some places than others. But he'll find a way no matter where he goes.

 

[dtgold88]

Let me elaborate...

Can he be a #1 on a Winning Team?

We saw where he took his Timberpups teams as the best player.

Nowhere.

Well, unless you include the draft lottery.

Zero playoff appearances.

Draymond without stars is going to the exact same place.

I'm not shitting on Love. I think he can be a Star player.

But, he isn't a #1.

No shame in that.

Same goes for my favorite guy, Blake Griffin, for Derozan, Aldridge....all guys in Love's category when healthy.

Good # 2's.

Outstanding #3 or 4's.

Have said entire time he can't be a #1 on a playoff team. Not now, that's for sure. To be fair, in the rugged West he did have Minnesota at 40-42, and wasn't surrounded by much talent.

difference is without other stars, Love played like an all star. Green is useless.

I can agree with that.

Regular season? We talking regular season? Regular season?

So Zion finally makes his long awaited debut tonight. For how much a certain 4 lettered network has been pimping him up nonstop he better have the greatest 1st game in NBA history. I'm talking 40 pts. (perfect from the field & the line), 20 rebs., 15 asts., 5 stls., 3 blks. & zero TO's.

The last time a player from dook was called the next great thing he didn't exactly live up to the expectations. Anyone remember who that was?

I'm just hoping he makes it thru the game without injury.

No doubt. What really concerns me is he's such a high flyer not sure if his body can take the repetitve abuse of his monster dunks & above the rim game.

People act like the laws of physics don't apply to him because he's so strong. How many injuries already?

Hell, I think Lebron should be slimming down to prolong his career. Zion definitely needs to.

He won't have a long or productive career carrying around all the weight he has now. No question he needs to do something about that.

LeBron's a physical marvel... I wouldn't have wagered that a guy his size can still do what he does at his age...

... a lot of it is the work that LeBron (obviously) puts in terms of working out, preparation, etc.

Plays like young Blake Griffin.

Built like Dwayne the Rock Johnson.

What could go wrong?
