Lakers win in OT. Better put Lavar on mute

It honestly depends 100% on where the game is played.

The two teams have looked comparable in the early going. I won't be surprised if BOTH games are decided by 10 points or more with the home team winning. Especially if the games occur in the middle or at the end of road trips.

Congrats to the Lakers and their fans on a great overtime win against a very good team. And to Lonzo Ball who seems like a very nice young man who should become a star someday in the league, even if his father is a fucking asshole.

OT in LA

(I hate those MPLS unis)

TOTALLY agree on the unis...

I was told the pacers look like a dumpster fire which isn't true. They have looked ok considering turner missed 4 of their 5 games

thanks for the congrats, but as far as LaVar goes you learn to take the guy with a grain of salt...

H2H Wall gets the best of Ball but it's all about how well the teams do when you're out there.

Wall -14
Gortat -11

Ball +13
Ingram +9

BTW - Don't look now, but the Lakers are on pace for a 41-41 Season.

They could

If the Nets end up being decent it might be a good idea for the Cavs to shop that pick for an asset

But they would have to make that move sooner rather than later. If they wait to long then it may come back to bite them in the ass.

@gordontrue my brother just sent me this picture

All I see is an IMG tag. Turned out to be a pretty entertaining game.

Yeah probably in the next month or so but if they floating around .500 I would try to trade that pick or they can take a chance and trade it in the next week. Not sure if I want Bledsoe for the pick though

I've thought the plan the whole time was to move that pick eventually. Brooklyn being decent would only lower its value.

By the way, are the lottery changes going into effect for this year? That would kind of suck for Cleveland since that would also lower the value of that pick (assuming Brooklyn ends up with one of the worst records in the league.)

They said they were keeping last I heard, but if Brooklyn continues to win plans could change quick. They can't wait too long like BK said.

I am not sure about the lottery, last I heard that rule hasn't been put into place yet but if it is it will affect this upcoming 2018 Draft.
