Following Friday night’s loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, the Los Angeles Lakers (20-49) have been officially eliminated from playoff contention.

Look at how soft the league has gotten over the last 6-7 years. Check out the significant difference in rest days this year just compared 2013-2014 season.

Probably be making halftimes longer soon so guys can catch a nap in between halves.

I misspoke btw. I did not mean rest days. Those are all the DNP-rest throughout the league over the last few years. The number for this season is a projected number so I'm guessing as of now that number is in the 200+.

Nick Young took offense to a hard foul taht wasnt even that bad- shoved the guy that fouled him- and then Monroe blew him up by shoving him in the neck.

i bet Monroe is suspended at least one game. Maybe Young too.

It was a regular foul, he was going for the ball.

Total overreaction by Swaggy.

But, that's easy for me to say when I didn't get hit in the face.

Lol @ Russell pushing in the back.

I do have an issue with the Bucks security guy pushing Ingram.

Grab your own guys.

well it was a move made just to add "stars" with really not much analysis into how they would fit and work together, and what their long term health prognosis were.

It would have been like if the Cavs spent all their assets to go and get Carmelo right now just to add another "star" to compete with the Warriors 4 stars. Fit matters, health history matters. I mean- i realize in retrospect it seems easy to say that Howard and Kobe working was bound to fail- but there were certainly signs that Dwight being immature and Kobe needing to be "the guy" -, and NAsh's health issues- that there would be major problems to the point where Howard took less money to leave Los Angeles.

the CAvs were in a similar position at the end of LeBron's first run- the cupboard was BEYOND bare from years of making "win now" trades for guys like Shaq, Jamison, Szerbiack, Ben Wallace, etc- combined with never getting a decent first round pick because LEBron was too good to ever let you sink beneath a certain level. The difference is- the Cavs did a much better job at adding extra picks early on in there rebuild-- I mean- KYRIE IRVING- is an extra pick they acquired, and did a much better job at keeping flexibility to their payroll.

The difference this time for the Cavs is Kyrie is only 24 years old, Thompson just turned 26, Love is 28, Shumpert is 26. They have a nice mix between old vets like Jefferson, Frye, Korver, Williams, - and guys that are still in their primes or have not even reached their primes yet.

Lmfao....Kinda like trading Wiggins for Love?

Yes, you win a chip.

But, Love didn't have a ton to do with that outcome.

He's a much better shooter than Wiggins.

But, I'm pretty sure Wiggins dude put up betty numbers playing with Be in and Kyrie.

Look at what he's doing with KAT and Rubio.


Please don't mention that Kyrie is pick again, Mofo!

'Down the road' reunion for Magic and Doc Rivers is subject of latest coaching chatter

Stay out of shit that has nothing to do with you. Motto Draymond should live by.

He's really just disappointed nobody got kicked in the balls.

 

[Bolts]

Kings getting their loss out of the way early today, I appreciate it.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Goodness, my last post is a mess.

Was supposed to say I'm pretty sure Wiggins would put up hefty numbers....lol

I'm a little frazzled.

My next door neighbor decided to trim the tree in his back yard, that partially hangs on the left side of my house.

Well, now it's partially hanging thru my daughter's window.

My Saturday is now fucked.

I do have an issue with the Bucks security guy pushing Ingram.

Luke did too. Especially since it wasn't addressed by the refs. He said that if that's going to be allowed, he'll hire some guys to be there to do the same thing.

I'm wondering where I need to send my resume'. lol

Temple just got Draymond'd by his own teammate.

These guys have got to learn how to control themselves.

It was way to extra...imo

He didn't push him to the floor or anything.

But, didn't look necessary unless he thought Brandon was gonna swing on the ref...lol

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Gotta be Zublocka or DeAngelo.

Both were in the mix. Russell did a sneak attack...lol

I posted the video in the post above.

I don't think it was as much of an overreaction by Swaggy as it was the guy who pushed him. The guy was going for the ball, but he hit Swaggy in the face. Most of these guys react like that when hit in the face. In the moment, they don't know if it's intentional or not.

What Swaggy did wasn't much of a push, the 2 would have likely jawed a little bit and that would have been the end of it. We see it happen in almost every NBA game.

The guy who came in and pushed Swaggy was the one who escalated the whole thing.
