Are they going to miss the playoffs?

Can we see their schedule?

He's like the player whose team is losing 45-0 and he celebrates the touchdown he scored with 30 seconds left. lol

 

[trojanfan12]

The Lakers goal is to win a title

This year? Since when?

 

[bksballer89]

LMAO DJ mad mad because I threw out the idea that the Lakers may be fighting for their playoffs lives in April due to the ridiculouse stretch of games for the next month and a half

 

[bksballer89]

Kings will gladly take their spot if they miss, but I still think they make it.

They'll be fine.

They still have Harden and CP3 is expected back next week.

Schedule isn't the most challenging either

I am absolutely loving the Oubre Jr. trade. How the Wizards so willingly gave up a franchise piece for an aged Trevor Ariza amazes me.

It made zero sense from the Wiz' standpoint imo

 

[Bolts]

So the Lakers, Clippers, and Rockets all miss the playoffs.

Who replaces them?

 

[Shanemansj13]

Pat McCaw not being able to swindle a pick away from the Cavs adds yet another check mark to his year of fuckery. LOL.

Harden makes the team go, as long as he's there they'll have a chance.

They've coughed up some winnable games without LeBron, and the schedule won't stay this easy. I'm still not expecting them to miss if LeBron plays at least 20-30 more games, but it's gonna be a fight.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Even you don't believe that.

BOOM.

And it's why he loves Sexton over Ball when Ball is a much more well rounded player.

More rounded? I mean he has better vision, a better rebounder, defender? Sexton is already a better scorer. His weakness out of Bama was his 3 point shooting and he is already a better shooter than Ball, especially mid-range. Free throw shooter, it isn't close. Sexton is 40% better lol. Sexton looks like he is going to be a much better pure scorer though.

I mean well-rounded is tricky in this situation bc you have an inefficient PG that can't shoot, can't shoot FT's and is very inconsistent scoring but he has great vision and can defend.

Then you have a PG, that can be very talented scoring the ball, is getting better at shooting but his vision seems like it will come in time.

Weird comparison. The more "well-rounded" guy seems like more of a bench player tbh.

Just looking at these 4 stats who would you take? (I know it isn't everything)

29 mins/game 14.6 ppg, 2.8 apg, 39% 3 pt, 87% FT
30 mins/game 9.5 ppg, 5.2 apg, 33% 3 pt, 42% FT ---wow

Even you don't believe that.

If 3 teams currently in the top 9 miss the playoffs, I might.

 

[Shanemansj13]

This year? Since when?

Depends on this offseason so 2020 or 2021

 

[trojanfan12]

More rounded? I mean he has better vision, a better rebounder, defender? Big deal.

lol

You understand that is the very definition of "a more well rounded player", right?
