2021-2022 NBA Season

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Blazers are pulling away from the Clips.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Lakers have closed the gap on the Cavs late in the 3rd.

Edit:
tie game....4th qtr gonna be good.

Damn Lakers are looking old
Cavs definitely better this year.
Nice little core

Still got the 1-on-1 ball. That is killing CLE right now

Who wants him? That is the problem

What have we learned in recents seasons? There are no untradeable contracts,

LOL.

 

[raptorlife4]

Cmon lakers. Need you to cover 7

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Lakeshow extending their lead in the 4th.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Too many missed opportunities tonight. 1-on-1 ball is harder to defend, gonna have to change up the gameplan against teams like this

 

[Shanemansj13]

Melo couldn’t miss tonight

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Melo couldn’t miss tonight

He's been a good signing

The rest..... very debatable

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Without Melo...that Lakers 2nd unit would be trash.

 

[trojanfan12]

Who wants him? That is the problem

He's only 26...so the Lakers are out.

Monk isn't trash. Reaves is playing well for somebody that wasn't expected to be on the team. And Rondo has had his moments.

THT and Nunn are hurt right now.....

Mobley looked good. Early ROY favorite, imo. Cavs could use a little more depth, but other than that, good looking team. They're younger than some college teams, but they play with energy and seem to play well together better than I expected. They stay healthy and they could slip into the playoffs.

The main difference in the game was that the Lakers experience showed up in the 4th quarter. Plus, the Lakers got exactly the kind of performance out of Westbrook that they need. He was efficient with scoring 19 points on 8-13 shooting, 6 rebounds, 5 assists.

Yeah, Porzingis is just 26. If he went to the right team, he could rejuvenate his career.

Scottie Barnes says hello

 

[raptorlife4]

Our 2nd round pick Banton has been getting the minutes off the bench and has been fantastic.
I am sure the Raps will flip Goran at some point for another young piece or pick.
He still has value to a playoff team wanting PG depth

Okoro being out really hurts. He is their best wing defender. That’s why Stevens was out there. I noticed Osman didn’t play either, not sure if he was hurt. They have Valentine and Windler but they really dont play a ton of guys. I guess they want this young core to get the bull of the minutes.

Yep experience and the 1 on 1 game specifically from Lebron they just couldn’t stop. It was a different defensive strategy they haven’t dealt with yet. Lakers played some good bball in the 2nd half after looking sloppy early.

3 missed layups for Lamar Stevens lol

Those and other missed layups were so frustrating in the first half.

Rough one after the strong start, but losing to LA in LA nothing to be concerned about.

Double whammy for Sexton. Didn't shoot well AND stopped shooting. Even if shot is off he should take more than 9 total and 2 from three range. I mean, Rubio, Garland and LM all took at least 8. Not a knock on them for shooting too much as I like to see them shooting, too. sexton needs at least 5-6 from 3.
