ESPN is a fucking soap opera at this point. what a joke

Unfortunately you're not Lebron James. Acting Bronny is a nobody is hilarious. The kid is pretty good and his Dad just happens to be one of the best players to ever play the game. ESPN isn't the only place that had a small article about this

Good news for the Lakers

Did they force you click on the article? It is listed with another headlines for the day. They didn't have a gun to your head and told you to click on the article.

Wiz are actually not playing bad lately.

With RW And Beal they should not be a bad team. I know RW has fallen off a bit and his efficiency isnt what it used to be but still- thats 2 guys that can win 1 on 1 against just about anyone.

Another really good win for the Wizards. Went into Denver and got the W. A nice 3-1 road trip.

Right in the playoffs hunt which didn't seem likely when they were 5-15

Just came here to say this, 7-3 their last 10 and only 2 in the loss column back of the 8 seed. Not a big stretch to picture them making the playoffs, much to tlance's chagrin.

Need the pelicans to pull this out. Need that 3rd seed in striking distance for Miami

I gota give credit where credit is due.

I dont think we have seen a player that reminds me of Anthony Davis as much as Bam.

I dont think i would go as far as saying he is a young Anthony DAvis- but saying he is a poor mans DAvis is not far off.

He can guard the rim, perimeter, shoot, pass, he has a great head on his shoulders and is a good teammate. GReat athlete.

What do you discuss during a timeout when you're down 4 and there is only 1.2 seconds left?

 

[Robotech]

Ram into someone and shoot a 3?

 

[Robotech]

My God, the muscles on Giannis.

I don't get why more people in the media didn't talk about this. Every loss was like "Oh, AD is out. Now they're struggling". Yeah, that's part of it. But Schroder is also out! And he's really good. We've been missing 2 starters. Lots of teams are gonna struggle missing 2 of their top 3 players

Once again the media knows nothing about basketball. Talk out of their ass all the time. Talking to the casual fans instead of real fans. I heard Kellerman say one reason the Heat are playing better (winning 8 of 11) was because Butler and DRAGIC are back healthy. The game on Wednesday was the first game Dragic played in 10 games. Missed the previous 9 due to injury

Ben Simmons is a very frustrating player to root for, especially in the halfcourt on offense. But man, he can be a defensive beast when he dials in. Did you all see him clamp Luka last night?



Salty?

 

[bksballer89]

Murray on Twitter trying to defend settling for 3 down 2 with a 4 on 1 fastbreak in the final seconds. It wasn't just on him. All 4 players is to blame but don't go on Twitter trying to defend it

It seemed like every show I watched yesterday, there was some "should Lakers fans be worried" type segment where they never mentioned AD and Schroder being out or it was "I know they're missing AD and Schroder but...."

I'm thinking, if this happens when they are at full strength...then Lakers fans need to worry. Until then, no. lol
