Yea cause moral victories are the goal when you have LBJ lol

You do know Lebron isn't playing tonight?

 

[LAD]

Why can't you stop?

Because I like the debate. Why can't you understand that?

 

[LAD]

You do know Lebron isn't playing tonight?

And you do know they're still an NBA team even without him, yes?

 

[bksballer89]

When you don't have the best player in the world and you can go toe to toe with the best team in the league for most of the night, it is impressive

Uh, they don't tonight

It is but players on the buyout market usually try and go to teams where they know they can get guaranteed minutes and/or possibly start.

Also I have no idea who on this Warriors roster are teams trading for.

Teams are not exactly lining up to trade for Quinn Cook, Jordan Bell, or etc.

I was referencing buyout players. Guys whom are bought out and can pick their destination also want to put themselves in a position to win as well.

It's a debate with you just replying to every post? What are we debating?

So when he's on the bench winning is no longer the goal?

Rumor is Warriors might want Wesley Matthews

No one's saying it's not impressive. But analyzing regular season games and thinking they translate into the playoffs; especially with a team that has a propensity for complacency during the regular season, indicates that this will likely not be the same Warriors performance come May.

Do you also see many games where Curry only has 2 points in a game where it's midway through the 4th quarter?

 

[bksballer89]

Lakers should go after DeAndre if the Knicks buy him out

 

[LAD]

Lol ya'll are something else. People talked shit on Xmas when the Dubs lost against this team after LBJ went down but tonight should be seen as a moral victory cause he didn't play...even though he probably could've? GTFOOH

 

[Gman]

Cousins attitude hasn't changed with the time off...

... a lot of players showing up the refs tonight.

I'm not worried about what Curry is doing or anyone on the Warriors TBH. I know what to expect out of them

I'm more looking at how these Lakers players are competing because I know playoffs Lebron is a different animal....also the same can be said for playoffs Rondo

We were talking about moral victories. You said moral victories aren't a thing with LeBron. But they don't have LeBron tonight. Obviously actually winning is the goal. But the Lakers were not expected to even get close to winning especially without him. So, moral victory if they keep it close.

Isn't this a sports site? Isn't it natural for so many different people coming together to have differing opinions? And it's not on every post. It's only when you say stupid stuff.

So how about Golden State? Are they a different team in the playoffs as well?

All of this is moot anyway, as the Lakers are fighting just to make the playoffs right now.

Ah well, WAS a nice game...

NO MORAL VICTORIES IN THE NBA.
Can you understand that?

Girl, you don't know how to stop whether it's stupid stuff, smart stuff, or everything in between. You may not see yourself clearly, people rarely do.
