God these NBA TV commentators are dumb.

Miami should have started D-Wade according to them lol.

They do realize this isn't an All Star game or Preseason game right?

Kuzma is so good.

what a bunch of dumb asses....for some reason this seems to me like how actors think they know a bunch about politics just because they are famous---- a lot of NBA baskebtall players think they are actually really smart deep thinkers because they play basketball---- which i mean-- just makes no fucking sense.

if Steph Curry couldn't shoot a 3 what would he be doing? I wonder.

i sure hope they play as well in the 2nd half and come out with a W but i highly highly doubt it.

man JJ really snookered the Heat into that contract....


note to self- always be wary of giving anyone with a large neck tattoo millions and millions of dollars.

He is literally still in preseason mode. He has played 3 weeks of basketball since April. He will be fine.

JJ makes 14M this year, 15M next year and 16M player option that there is no way in fuck he turns down the following year....that is a massive shitbomb of a contract.

Him and Olynk (who also is signed for this year, next year AND the following year for about 12M a year) and Waiters (who is also signed for this year, next year, and the following year at about 12M a year) will make almost a combined 40M.....thats fucking brutal--- 40M a year for this year and the next 2 years for those 3 guys.


Though, at least for now, the Winslow deal is starting to look like a solid investment.

HAving Richardson/Winslow both under contract for at least this year, next year, and the following year, for a combined 24 a year is some nice cost certainty.

but that is still a LOT of money to have guaranteed for the fairly long term--- this year, next year, and the following year--- those 5 guys--- Richardson, Winslow, Waiters, JJ, and Olnyk at about 65M.

Playing down to the competition....

Kuzma is so good.

He plays well with James too....If we made a trade I'd keep him and deal Ingram.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Kuuuuuuuuzma!!!!

You guys really gotta stop using this lame ass excuse anytime a team who isn't a title contender play with the lakers

BKS saying playing down to the competition isn't a thing.....

 

[DJ Fieri]

Wade with a very nice play....

+1000

when your second best player is Kyle Kuzma- you arent EVER playing down to ANYONE.

Never said it is not a thing. You guys legit it use it any time the lakers play a close game to a team with a losing record or .500

A few weeks ago Orlando destroyed the Lakers by 20 in Orlando, came backto the LA the following week and you guys still used that lame ass excuse

You do realize this is the first time I have said it, right? Not like I've been saying this all season.....LOL.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Yet you've said it yourself?

when you have Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh as your 2nd and 3rd best players- yah sure--- when your team has 3 top 20 players in the league- yah sure- you can play down to a team

when your 2nd best player is Kyle Kuzma- and your team been a mess over half a decade- you arent "playing down" to ANYONE. lol

 

[bksballer89]

Luke Walton is a shitty coach if the Lakers are playing down to their competition as often as you guys claim they are....25+ games into a season with basically a brand new roster still learning how to win.
