2021-2022 NBA Season

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Boom!

GSW 121 - LAL 114

Great opener, Dub nation.

Hell Yeah!

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

Westbrook is dogshit

Fify

 

[msgkings322]

It's just one game but Lakers look really top heavy with LeBron and AD basically having to do it all

 

[msgkings322]

Fify

He was tonight, and maybe this is what he is now

Welp, at least Lebron and AD played well.

Melo did well for the 1st quarter, was complete shit afterwards. Way too many selfish ISOs and complete uninterest in defense (even by Melo standards). He looked more like the old Melo that was almost cast out of the league, not the one that remade himself in Portland.

Vogel should never ever play a lineup with Rondo and Westbrook again. Just terrible.

Like I said above if those two have to do all the work it's gonna be a loooong season

Lakers got a top secret do-over card they can play that allows them to re-do one offseason move. They're gonna cash it in to go with Buddy Hield/KCP/Caruso over Westbrook

Typical Lakers always running the league

Those stats do not do justice to how bad he was

 

[Mecca]

Lakers should trade RW+picks for Simmons

You think Philly is fool enough to do that deal?

I'd rather have CJ.

Westbrook is what he is.

If he couldn't thrive in Houston because of Capella , there is zero chance he could play with Embiid.

Westbrook is FEROCIOUS.

But, that fucker is a tuuuuurible shooter and needs to play at, or driving towards, the rim.

Vogel did him ZERO favors playing him with Rondo.

Like, da fuq?

Rajon can get hot here and there.

But, you can't expect that every game.

At least pair him with a shooter.

What's with Davis and the free throw line?

 

[Mecca]

Outstanding win to open the season. Fuck you LA (yes that includes the Dodgers)

Looks like last year was great for Poole's development.

That kid is a sniper.

Can't wait to see all your youngins when healthy.

 

[Mecca]

How do you let Bradley go if the team leaders ask to keep him on the roster?

For GARY PAYTON JR!!!!

 

[Robotech]

Damn, Lakers need Langston Galloway in the worst way.

Lakers do seem to like signing former Warriors.

 

[AD2022MVP]

Vogel is a terrible coach. I can't imagine any other coach pairing Westbrook and Rondo multiple times and excepting it to work eventually.

 

[tlance]

Like I said yesterday, dude isn't a max level player and the Suns are smart not to pay him like he is. Their offer is more than fair.

What is the end game though?

We all know that if he plays like he did last year and hits RFA he is getting a max offer from someone.

Bigs have been devalued, But Ayton is a modern big and does enough things well that someone is going to want to give him Gobert money.

So are the Suns really going to let him walk over 1 year?

When you have a non-elite player like Ayton approaching RFA, you have to over pay him to keep him. And the Suns aren’t in a position to let him walk.

I mean…

Yes, but the FO chose to trade for Russ and sign Rondo when they already have LeBron.

Honestly, what lineup does Russ fit Well with?

 

[Gman]

It's a one-game sample.... but I openly question how beneficial a guy like LaMarcus Aldridge is at this point.

Dude is just a target on defense... and the Nets don't necessarily even need the skilled (but limited, because he's not really a 3 pt shooter) offense he brings.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Still just one game BUT if Bron and AD have to carry the load then both will be worn down and AD will be in street clothes. I still wonder if they had a Hield trade in place. Hield is the shooter they desperately need and they coupd have signed Caruso back, who in all honesty probably is more of a need than RW. Same old RW and even if he isn’t this bad he just doesn’t fit. Stick him on the 2nd team and play Bradley on starting squad or somethijg. Yikes
