Don't worry, it won't last. I'm sure the Lakers will have a better record by the end of the season.

LAC-OKC in SportsHoopla bookie section, Mecca

Go...should be a win.

That's what I told myself last year. Then Yogi Ferrel went Steph Curry on their ass.

Just heard a stat that the Thunder average the fewest passes in the league right now.

Shocker!

You're more traumatized being a fan of your team than Mecca....

At least Mecca has seen her team fail in the playoffs this decade, mine only fails in the regular season and during the draft.

Are you old enough to remember the Kings glory days when they had Webber, Stojakovic, Bibby, Christie, Divac, etc? Lakers-Kings games were lit back then, especially in the post-season when Big Shot Bob Horry made that shot. You may have heard about it if you don't remember those days and may have been a little tyke.

I want that Lakers-Kings rivalry back....

 

[DJ Fieri]

We're just a couple of shitty teams with youngsters.

Yeah but the Kings did win the Summer League title a couple of years ago. Do they have a banner hanging in the rafters for that accomplishment?

Lonzo's FG% has been fantastic from day one.

I was around 10 when that series happened(think it was before my birthday), so I do remember it. Even if I don't like how those series' ended and think there was some bullshit during the 2002 one, they did have a great rivalry. Having a new rivalry where they can play important playoff games is needed so the Kings can get their revenge!
Also fuck Bob Horry.

That was a classic moment in Kings history, I don't think the banner is hanging though. Probably because they don't wanna make other franchises jealous.

Big Shot Bob (7 rings) > MJ (6 rings) yep

Stats are irrelevant, need those rings.

Exactly. Another example is Adam Morrison (1 ring) > Tracy McGrady (0 rings)

They never came close to doing that under Brooks.

Really though, there is one common denominator with OKC during the last 9 years and it has nothing to do with coaching. As long as Russ has been there, ball movement at the end of games has been non-existent.

I just can't understand why OKC fans cannot admit RW has a problem with making the better basketball plays when it matters most.

We're not saying RW isn't a good player. But choosing to play iso in the last 2-3 minutes of the game rather than play team ball isn't making the best basketball play.

Just noticed you have quite a SportsHoopla cash stash.....let's bet the Lakers-Kings games this season.....2 evenly matched teams.....should be fun and competitive.

Fucking kids making me feel old at the start of my fucking 3 day weekend.
