I know it’s early……. But look the Knicks are 3-1.

Doesn’t matter what decade he was “likable” still one of the all time greats on the decline, and out the door soon.

Dude.

Since 2010 he's done everything he could to manipulate every roster he's been on. Now he's pushing 40 and squeezed his current team out of assets. As a result, he's saddled with a supporting cast that's only marginally better than the Pacers right now...

He deserves everything that comes to him.

This "starting 0-4" nonsense is silly. When did an early season 4 game losing streak ever prevent playoffs as a possibility lol? 9 of their first 11 games are against potential West playoff teams, of course the record won't be great early. The team is still learning how to play again, a big issue with shuffling so much of the roster from year to year. The 3 point shooting is atrocious, but that will regress back to the mean and be more respectable even without roster changes.

Exactly.

The outside shooting is bad but it's so bad it's impossible for it to not improvea little bit......TJ12 made a similar comment I believe. And I'm not saying they will improve to League average even.....but if they improve a little I think they'll be a lot better. And let's not gloss over the first few games haven't been against Houston, Orlando, SA and OKC. It's been a tough start to the season so far. Won't last, it'll even out.

I was just thinking that earlier.....LOL.

Brunson looks really good and like he could be a true leader.

Bryant and Schroder are currently out but should be back in a month. Both were bargains as free agents. Walker has played pretty well and seems to be the continuation player for Monk thus far. Bev is still a solid defender and his shooting will pick up. Reaves and T-A are the definition of role players that don't need the ball to be effective. Jones hasn't shown much yet. Torching them for not over-achieving in a whopping 4 games is a silly take.

The Westbrook trade stripped them of depth and assets, notably Kuzma and KCP. Had they settled on Kuzma/Harrell for Buddy, keeping KCP and hopefully Caruso, things would be very different. All signs point to Westbrook. The trade hurt, his play has hurt, and any delay in dumping him continues to hurt.

Everybody is freaking out over this small sample size of 4 games.

Walker hasn't shot well from deep, but he's looked good overall. Reaves and JTA are solid role players.

You need to stop pretending LeBron's the only superstar that's teamed up with other all stars.

Where's your outrage towards KD? All he's done is join a team he couldn't beat that were the 2x defending conference champs with the 2x league MVP. Then he left a dynasty to team up with Harden & Kyrie. Then he demanded a trade and wanted his HC & GM fired.

Your issues with LeBron are all outta pure hatred and nothing else.

At this point the ONLY good thing about the Lakers situation is that it's still early and they have a lot of time to address the problems.

At this point I don't give a fuck what they do, they need to so SOMETHING.

Trade Lebron, trade AD, I don't give a fuck - something needs to change.

This is worse than watching the team from 5/6 years ago.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Damn, he just dropped a bucket of piss on top of his shit sandwich.

As if going to China wasn't enough, he had to add in domestic violence?

Have you actually seen the games? It's embarrassing.

It's still really early against a pretty tough stretch of games to open the season.

And the Blazers game was winnable, if they had won that......we'd be 1-3. Not great, but not 0-4 either.

If

They didn't though.

They blew a decent lead with mere minutes left to play because both Westbrook and Lebron decided to take terrible shots with plenty of time left on the shot clock.

And tbh, i'd be making the same comment about their situation if they were 1-3 instead.

At what point does the game go to shit?

Home from work and watching the recording. 1st quarter was pretty even.

Tied at the half. I can let you take a guess from there.

What does Doc Rivers need to do to get fired?

Walker hasn't shot well from deep, but he's looked good overall. Reaves and JTA are solid role players.

Walker had 15 points on 14 shots.

When he goes to the rim, he’s money.

He’s been much better than I thought.

So, good overall is probably a understatement.

But, you have a garbage roster if he is your 3rd best player.

At some point, you are going to realize your team really is this bad.

22 % from 3 bad?

Nah.

Thats absurd.

Sub 30 is quite possible though.

Same as always.

Freaking out? It is what it is, the roster is shit and not built to be a good shooting team long-term. You can't change the players and their abilities

Yes you can. Trade their fucking asses and stop holding on to first round picks in hopes of finding Lebron 2.0
