2019-2020 Official Regular Season Thread

I just actually had a thought today

You alright? Need to lie down for awhile?

 

[trojanfan12]

lol

If the Clippers are trying to help the Blazers get the 8 seed, they're doing it wrong.

Yep. Lakers and Bucks both suck. I don't know why they were even invited to the bubble.

If both teams carry that mindset into the playoffs then they both won't make it out of round 2. Cant think you're in great shape just because you were 4 months ago before the break. In many ways you have to treat this as a new season as what you did from October through March means almost nothing outside of a favorable 1st round series

This gotta be the worst defensive team assignments I’ve ever seen.

lol

Yes you can. In fact, if you're working as an analyst, criticizing other players and teams is part of the gig. That stuff isn't what he got fined for.

He got fined for the same thing Magic got the Lakers fined for...tampering.

and that’s what I’m saying, a current player in the league can’t do stuff like that. It’s a joke how overrated this guy is snyway, he will never be a pimple on Barkley’s aas on or off the court.

I don’t think college football survives the week. Damn

Nope. Disappointing to say the least

He can't try to recruit another teams player like that. But there wasn't anything wrong with what he said outside of that. He was there as an analyst.

CLIPPERS LOST, THEY SUCK, WE MUST PANIC!!!

We’re right on track for a Suns v Nets Finals

Whiteside is so stellar he's barely playing

 

[Stakesarehigh]

They have shown they can beat teams that aren't at all invested in the game against the Nets

He's hurt

Laker fans should be concerned because they aren’t playing well at all.

Does that mean they can’t/won’t flip the switch?

Of course not. But, they clearly miss Bradley and Rondo and they added a couple mercurial locker room guys.

Back in March it looked like a near lock for the Lakers to get to the WCF. It isn’t anymore. Not even close.

He is also clearly inferior to Nurkic

Lol really not hard to see that they're playing really poorly since being in the bubble.I dont think role players can just flip the switch but we'll see next week. Best thing Lakers got going for them is that Portland doesn't seem like a lock to make it as they did on Friday afternoon.

I agree with that but still think Whiteside can protect the pain much better

And before i see the same post about the bucks and Clippers struggling. Yes those teams aren't playing great but those issues can be resolved easier than the Lakers because of 2 different reasons.

1) they didnt add 2 to 3 new players since the break who they're now counting on to play major roles. It is still the core group of players.

2) Those 2 aren't struggling on offense. It is all about defensive issues which i think is a easier fix as that's just usually more about communication. Things that can be fixed with film and a few practices focused on that. Lakers main issue is shot making as their offense been horrible in the bubble
