T-Wolves

You trust Wiggins?

Not I, said the KAT.

Kings dropped the ball. I sort of get why they did it but dont agree with it. Had Fox who plays PG but Luka had superstar written all over while Fox at best may make a few AS games imo

I think Fox can be a superstar too, but there was no reason to not pick Luka because of Fox. They would have had a Fox, Buddy, Luka guard/wing lineup with Bogi as 6th man. Warriors just dominated the league and a big reason is because of the Steph/Klay/KD trio. Their lineup will be more balanced with Bagley where they have good scoring guards/wings and a big man capable of averaging 20/10, but the league is led more by guards/wings than bigs. I'm hoping for Bagley's sake that he becomes a multi time all star(which is very possible) so there's less hate from Kings fans directed towards him for the Kings' decision. And if he can be a key part of them finally winning a championship fans will love him.

Wiggy: "LeBron James is slowing down."

LeBron: "Hold my beer, Mr Wack Wiggity."

James is averaging 25ppg, 11.2apg, and 7.6rpg.

Sweet. The Lakers are on course for 70 wins!

No chance. They'll win 58 or so. Maybe 60.

 

[DJ]

BKS you weren't kidding about Rivers...

four picks...?

Rivers is such a choker.

 

[DJ]

GO RAIDERS!!!!!!

But, that won't be enough to get you passed us unless he sits out the series.

As currently constructed? Probably not unless the current level of defense turns out to be sustainable and/or Playoff P makes another appearance.

I think the Lakers have the advantage with the starters, but the Clips are considerably deeper and the Lakers advantage with starters isn't big enough to overcome the difference in bench strength.

But the right addition around the trade deadline could close that gap considerably.

GO 2nd PLACE RAIDERS!!!!!!

fixed...

see y'all in 2 weeks...

 

[shopson67]

Yeah, he clearly has something going on with that knee.

But, that won't be enough to get you passed us unless he sits out the series.

The Clippers seem quite content with flushing games during the regular season to preserve him for the playoffs.

I really hope we finish 3 and 6 or even 4 and 5.

I'd love to see you go home in the first round.

Ps. For being the grammar police, I hope we sweep you.

Being the grammar police apparently didn't bother you enough, lol....

man, quit raining on our parade. bad enough Mecca's doing that...

The schedule has been pretty soft so far.....they'll be a top 2-3 seed but they won't be the top seed IMO. They could even drop off a bit and finish with just 55-56 wins, which would still be great after our recent history. But, they aren't winning 68-70 games. No way.

BKS you weren't kidding about Rivers...

He tries to force the issue a bit too much, but that last one last night was just a total misread. The one prior actually saved them some time, as an incompletion and punt would've taken more time (and likely not changed the overall field position much). I didn't watch much of the game earlier, so I missed the first 2.

RIP, she's about to bring the knives out like Wolverine.

LOL.

 

[tducey]

Big win for the Raptors last night. Even sans Lowry and Ibaka. Looking forward to seeing both these players back.

 

[DJ]

LOL.

She's going to go HAM on you......trust me.....

Been there, done that, won't go there again.

 

[DJ]

DJ out.

Nope.

If my English teacher couldn't convince me to stop, nobody on the net has a fireballs chance in hell.

Agree.

BUT, that goes for the Clippers, Lakers. Celtics, 76ers, Nugz and Bucks.

I'd love to have him. But, we don't need Iggy.

What we need is for him to go anywhere outside of the Lakers.

If he gets traded, It won't be to either LA Team.

Neither of us have picks.

You don't have any tradeable contracts, outside of Kuz.

We have tradeable guys. But, can't afford to trade any because our depth is our biggest advantage.

The buyout market is going to be one hell of a arms race.

Luka Doncic looks ridiculously phenomenal.

I hope he realizes Dallas is a dead end and fucks off to the Lakers as soon as he can
