Series Thread: 1st round: #2 Grizz vs #7 Lakers

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

At least 1 Grizzlies player knows how to handle what just happened to them.

Apparently, Ja basically put it on himself and said, as the leader, he needs to make better decisions both on and off the court.

Good on him.

My guy….

The absolute GLEE still has not died down for me….lol

I love it when the bully turns out to be the cowardly Lion.

@HurricaneDij39 might rub some the the wrong way.

But, not me.

Still, for someone who knows a thing or two about the sport, why he has eyes for that fucktard, Brooks, is a goddamn mystery for me.

So…..

No mercy.

Honestly, when I'm in the real world and not on the boards, I don't even refer to the Lakers as "the Lakers".

I refer to them as "LeBron". Because let's face it: Every single person employed by that organization is employed there because of him.

And likewise, Brooks skipping media sessions would be a non-story if he weren't facing LeBron. A mere footnote. He will still be an interesting free agent case and that is why I wished he would have done postgame after Game 6 in particular. And he's bigger than Tony Allen, so that's go to count for something...

It’s from a Jay Z song.

His intended audience understood.

Thanks for clarifying

I have never listened to Jay Z

 

[ANGELAKERAMS]

He'll get better. Just needs to settle into a role, imo. Rui struggled some at times trying to find his level, but has been really good since he found it.

Rui has been great so far this post season

Hopefully that continues. They need that production off the bench

Case and point @Mecca

Minnesota would have been more than willing to serve up DLo on a silver platter to them in free agency this summer, but because of LeBron’s overwhelming need to win now, they gave up what could turn into a valuable pick for him.

Or, here’s a crazy thought, the Lakers could’ve just kept him all along instead of drafting Ball.

Had they done that, they could’ve drafted Tatum instead and we are talking about a completely different team right now.

So, take away his personality…..

I would not want him on my team unless he understood, and stuck to, his very defined role.

Shooting 3’s would not be in his job description.

Shooting PERIOD would be on a case by case basis.

Obviously, you don’t want to be playing 5 on 4 out there and he would need to shoot occasionally.

But, the biggest hurdle?

Cost.

That’s where him being a fucking moron will hurt him the most.

Id take Josh Hart over 10 trash ass Dillon Brooks.

That’s who I’d throw the bag at.

Unfortunately, he might be out of reach for Indy.

Yeah, one without Davis.

Tatum, Ball, Brandon Ingram….

You would have needed to give them all up to land Davis.

Unless you mean keep all those guys?

Also, Dunno if I’m remembering this correctly…

But, wasn’t the choice Lonzo or Fox?

Yeah, ultimately it was probably a convo between Ball and Fox because they already had Ingram.

But, Tatum was the best player available and they should drafted him and still traded Ingram anyway.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Should have just kept it as a simple

“Here’s your fucking 40”

LOL.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

The gift that keeps on giving.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Love this squad.

Now....we wait.

Hart has been great for NY.

 

[bksballer89]

Preference?

Both will be difficult but due to the kings lack of defense/young group, i would say kings

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Preference?

I think the Lakers stand a good chance against either.

Kings the easier path but Warriors make the better series

 

[DJ Fieri]

Preference?

None.

Bring it on.

Boarding ....

See y'all on the flip side....

Come take this L @WiggyRuss

Just like clockwork.

He will post again in a week or two after a few good Guardians games and claim his absence had nothing to do with the Cavs loss.

“Just too busy at work”!

You can almost set your clock to it .

I think Monk, Fox speed is a problem for the Lakers.

I think Steph, Klay shooting is a problem for the Lakers.

I think Bron, Davis are a problem for everyone.

Gonna come down to Rui, D Lo, Reaves outscoring Sabonis, Murray, Huerter if it’s the Kings.

I don’t think they can.

I think the Lakers stand a good chance against either.

I think you will beat the Warriors.

But, I kinda lean Kings.

None.

Bring it on.

Yup.

Dubs/Kings is a easier path to the WCF over the winner of Suns/Nugz.
