I would not do that to Westbrook, I can tell you that. He would kick your ass.

I once saw Westbrook at the Northpark Mall in Dallas, the most upscale mall in Texas, back when he played for OKC about two hours up the road.

I think he was with extended family, and there were like 10 people all carrying huge bags of clothes, going into Louis Vuitton and the other boutique type stores. He went big at the mall.

Woj just said the Lakers will make a deal before the season that improves the team.

They'd also get a nice settlement if he did.....and I bet that is what a lot of people are looking for when they pull that stuff in public.

You're in Texas? Ballsy.....an Eagles fan in the lone star state.....think I got that right.

I have been here like 15 years now, in various cities. I lived in Dallas for about 4 years. Didn't like it, and not just because of the Cowboys.

I have liked Texas overall, but I am likely moving back east in the next year for work purposes. I'll miss the barbecue and Mexican food. The stuff back east doesn't compare, though there is some other types of very good food up there.

Tough to beat good BBQ and Mexican but damn I want to go East for the Philly cheesesteak. Heard about Ginos and Pats, competitors across the street from each other.....and Primantis in Shittsburgh.

Tourist traps. Dalessandros is the spot.

*Takes notes*

I'll try all 3 when I'm there and compare. Be like a cheesesteak connoisseurism of sorts.

Thanks.

 

[Iggloo]

Yeah if you do go to Philly go to a place like Dalessandros or Donkey’s across the river in Camden for a true cheesesteak experience. Genos and Pats suck.

The northeast has pizza, hoagie sandwiches, good Italian American stuff in general. But Texas has barbecue, gulf seafood and Tex Mex. Texas wins in a landslide.

Now I'm getting huuuuuuungry and I don't do breakfast much.....already had my coffee....

 

[shopson67]

Lol a joke

They're trending upwards, where's the problem?

You left out the additional 11 on NBATV.

Having fewer than the Nuggets is a pretty big slap, but consider some other situations:

The Raptors have only 4 (+5 on NBATV).

The Jazz haven't even traded Mitchell yet and they have 1 (plus 3 on NBATV)

 

[shopson67]

Not liking that potential overlap for the Lakers/Rams.

 

[shopson67]

They opted for Orlando/OKC instead of Warriors/Heat on TNT lol

That was the way to get both Orlando and OKC their ONLY NATIONALLY TELEVISED GAME in one fell swoop.

That's who you want to steal from?

 

[shopson67]

And since James signed his extension, the premier Lakers' antagonist has already provided us with his opinion. Interest article but it is from Bill Plaschke. He is not impressed.

Plaschke: LeBron James' new contract guarantees one thing — more Lakers mediocrity

LeBron James may be the best player in basketball history, but signing him to an extension pushes the Lakers further away from another championship.

Plaschke can go suck a lemon, lol.

 

[shopson67]

I’m just saying. You know you have 2 years of Lebron

The turner trade makes a lot more sense now, as an example

Kyrie is still their first option, and until that's a no-go, the others won't get much time.

 

[shopson67]

That is bafflingly bad management

Especially in a world when the lakers can just buy a bunch of seconds over the years and accumulate enough second round steals to develop a reasonable bench

That's just coach speak while the GM works to move Russ. Ham has to act as though Russ is staying until he's gone.
