He was speaking big facts tho.

Idk those suns are balling. Him and Ayton are a nice core

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Maybe someday,

but no

The thing that's crazy is you could see it in his highlights. The dude was someone you could build a team around. Bagley had some nice offense but you knew he was a mess defensively. There's no way the Kings can justify that pick in any light. If Luka was on that Duke squad they easily take the nets down.

I think they’re nice too. Player obviously make the difference but Draymond was speaking about the management. Is there anyone out here defending Robert Sarver?

True enough

I just actually had a thought today...what if LaMarcus Aldridge didn’t decide he wanted to dip out to the Spurs? Dame, CJ and Aldridge might have changed the landscape of the NBA.

Lonzo Ball is so bad

He was speaking big facts tho.

So every good team needs to be in a big market with at least 3 superstars? That’s a terrible take and basically what Draymond was saying.

 

[bksballer89]

Portland don't deserve the playoffs if they lose to Philly with no Embiid or Simmons

 

[tlance]

he’s the best young player in the game and it’s not close. Let me pick a guy to build around it’s him.

I agree.

But that doesn’t make him the best player in the league today.

No.

Phoenix has had 5 years to build around Booker and they have failed miserably so far.

Barring a drastic turnaround in the loaded West, Booker is likely gone as soon as he hits FA.

Unless he is one of those players who wants to collect his supermax deal and contend for scoring titles instead of NBA titles.

agreed, it may not be long though

 

[bksballer89]

These nets are fun to watch

 

[bksballer89]

Up 20 on the Clippers

 

[tlance]

Maybe.

still has a ways to go to surpass a great 2 way player like Giannis (who is also still improving) IMO.

Lol, the Lakers gave Talen Horton-Tucker, Quinn Cook and Jared Dudley significant minutes tonight while sitting JR Smith, Waiters and Danny Green.

Since they clinched the #1 seed, every starter except for KCP has had a night off.

LeBron and AD are playing but no where near 100%. They're not taking risks.

You've got to be joking if you think the Lakers are giving it their best

I'd also add that because of the new players plus Bradley and Rondo being out, the coaching staff has been trying different combinations of players together.

So even with Lebron and AD playing 35 minutes, there have been players on the floor with them that won't be in the playoffs.

Lebron and AD will also be playing closer to 42-45 minutes a game in the playoffs.

 

[trojanfan12]

AD didn't have a night off yet

Vogel isn't very smart. If there is anyone who need minutes, it is JR, Waiters, and Morris but he wanted to give minutes with guys who been with the team all year lonh

Go look at the Lakers offensive statistics in the bubble. Here's a hint. This poor offensive play didn't just start vs OKC on wednesday

lol

 

[trojanfan12]

My fault. You right. Lakers are playing amazing basketball.

Those guys are hitting on all cylinders. Man those roles players can't miss anything....My apologies for pointing out the obvious for anyone who actually watched their 6 games in the bubble. Guess I should have just assumed all the
Lakers players are intentionally missing their shots. Come game 1 in front of their home fans, I'm sure they'll turn the light switch on and things will be back to normal like how it was back in March

 

[trojanfan12]

I’m guessing because the Bucks just lost 3 out of their last 4 games, they must be absolute dog-shit too!

Unless you consider the Mavs and Nets really good teams...?

Yep. Lakers and Bucks both suck. I don't know why they were even invited to the bubble.

 

[trojanfan12]

bullshit, you can’t be bagging on other teams like that. He wouldn’t have been fined if he hadn’t said anything wrong. On of the more overrated douchbags to ever play the game.

lol

Yes you can. In fact, if you're working as an analyst, criticizing other players and teams is part of the gig. That stuff isn't what he got fined for.

He got fined for the same thing Magic got the Lakers fined for...tampering.
