Just watching the Lakers/Nuggets preseason game, I think The Lakers are going to need some defenders....
-
Its early but Lakers play disorganized lol

The Lakers had a good 3rd quarter to get back in the game.
-
There are lots of little touch fouls being called in the Lakers/Nuggets game too.
-
Lakers lost. Good. Ball did not play, is he injured?

I think Ball is still coming back from surgery. I thought Ingram looked like he's lost weight, that dude is thin...

That is the last thing Ingram should be doing

i agree he did look like he lost weight which is pretty crazy. Guy seems paper thin

on LeWhine ? i don't believe it .......refs better get their minds rigjt fast or else Lebron will have them fired .

The calls were still bad even with James on the bench. Lot's of little touch fouls both ways. I guess that's the point of emphasis for the refs in preseason.

Sacramento vs Phoenix is the game I'm watching tonight just for the young guys....
-
Kevin Knox looks really good early on. So does Mitchell Robinson. The Knicks nailed their picks this year.

Agreed. Although I don't think they could've gone wrong with either one of MSU Bridges or Knox.
-
The Sacramento Kings have waived center Deyonta Davis. Wasn't he suppose to be good?

They need to stay the course with all these good young players.

So you're saying they'll probably trade them for has-been old players? Being the Knicks and all

That's exactly what I'm saying! ;D

The kings are going to stink....

There was a loud wailing from posters here when the Celtics did not get him.

Yeah, really bad

That's what I remember. What's the deal if you can't stick with the Kings?

Yeah, Porzingis, Knox, Ntilikina, Mitchell Robinson, Hardaway Jr. are a nice set of young talent.
You're probably right though, they will trade them all away for some washed-up former all-star or two.

Ayton and Josh Jackson look great so far for the Suns. Bender on the other hand looks awful. If he doesn't get it together real soon he's probably out of the league next year.
-

Ayton and Jackson did look good but The Suns need someone who can defend the point guard position.
-
Thank good we have The Celtics VS Cavs to night, It's going to make some things clear.

They will look all amazing losing +60 games this year.
-
Already two games into the preseason and Simmons hasn't even attempted 1 three lol just makes so much easier to guard him when it's not even an option.
-

It's clear alright, ouch.

I will say that this passing between Rondo and Lebron is a thing of beauty.

Yeah, it sort of infuriates me a little bit. It's like a 50 cent version of Magic and Bird playing together (the handful of times that they did)

The Joker is totally out of shape.

I watched the highlights of DEN-LAL
I understand that LAL wants to keep cap space open for next summer, but not having a center other than Javale seems a bit extreme. Mason Plumlee had 23 points.

They have a good young center in Zubac, they just don't use him

Zubac can play some offense but he's not a defender....

The Lakers don't have a big man defender but tonight you can see they can't defend the point either.

The Kings just scored 39 points on the Lakers starters in the 1st quarter.....
-

Fox is scorching them
-
No Rondo = No wins ???
-
The Lakers taking 47 free throws so far....
-
The Lakers ended up taking a crazy 55 free throws and the Kings 28. That's 83 free throws for an NBA game. Horrible.
-
I'm going out on a limb here but if the Lakers can average 55 free throws a game they will make the playoffs!
-
Well..they got Lebron ....free throw whiner king on the Lakers .....that potentially equal record freethrows for a sngle season from one player . To foul Lebrons n out , would destroy TV ratings and ...that equals money ....LeFoul,is a money cow and LA gonna milk it four all its worth.

Doncic was pretty impressive in China. Dude has almost Rondo-like court vision.
E. I watched the game with my dad and he´s the president of the local basketball club. This might have been about the second NBA game he´s seen and I think Doncic made him a Mavs fan :D
E2. I just remembered the last NBA game we watched together, it was a Celtics game and he was impressed by some young kid called Tatum.
-
The Warriors just scored 74 points in a half against the Kings....
-
Wow the kings got decimated. That’s a historic first half decimation. This team is terrible. Get a bunch of rookies and sophomores to play their first game ever and make em play against the warriors and that’s the outcome

Truly a special special talent.
I know it's borderline sacrilegious here, but he's the closest thing to Bird that I can recall seeing. Insane court vision, 6'8" - 6'9", really good touch from the mid-range and inside, sweet shooting form, strong handle, and despite limited athleticism is both able to get his shot off with ease over athletic defenders (seen in Europe) and is able to consistently make the right play on defence. He's also got 1-4 versatility, which is insane. Wish we had him

#NEBHInjuryReport: Kyrie Irving (ribs) and Gordon Hayward (back) will not travel to Cleveland.

The Bird comparison is mighty lofty but I've made it too. He thinks the game like Bird. I don't think he'll be able score like Bird or for that matter rebound like Bird ( Bird 10 a game) but his game reminds me of Bird.

I feel like I've underestimated OKC a little going into the season. I think Schroder is exactly what they needed. He'll probably be 6th man of the year.

I don’t know, he seems pretty redundant with Westbrook. I think Oladipo was a better fit and we know how that worked out.

Not only that, but I think it's a case of addition by subtraction with the loss of Melo. Without him I think Westbrook, George and Adams can thrive

Oladipo played scared in OKC. Schroder is stupidly confident. Westbrook isn't going to scare Schroder...Oladipo is a better player but I think Schorder is a better fit in OKC.

My prediction:
Offense is once more predictable.
Coach gets fired in the middle of the season.
1 round exit again.

Doncic looks good again.

Jarrett Allen looks straight out of the movie Semi Pro
Really like how he's been rolling though

The Nets could be just out of the playoffs this year.... Good job putting that team back together after the hole they were in.

Yep, I agree. Think they'll be right around 35 wins. I really like Rondae Hollis-Jefferson next to Allen. LeVert will be a good player too, and I think he's already nearly at Carroll's level. As much as I didn't expect it, Atkinson has done good work with D'Angelo too.
Overall, good pieces. I hope they put it together a bit
-
Checking back over box scores and Doncic had 5 assist and 4 turnovers which isn't so good but also noticed Simmons with 6 assist and 7 turnovers. Still preseason but interesting...

Anyone know what the Magic are building down there in Orlando? That is one miss matched team.

Draft as many long athletic players as possible? I have no clue. Vets like Augustin and Vucevic have no place there

Short-handed Lakers beat the 3-quarter Warriors. They look pretty dangerous with LeBron and Rondo. Kuzma looking stellar. Brandon Ingram achieving new heights this year; Jaylen Brown better take notes.

Obviously! Most players stop developing after their 3rd year after all, duh
-
Yeah, just reviewed the Laker game. If they play that up tempo style, they'll win 50 games out west, even in a stacked conference. LeBron hasn't played with a team this athletic in 6-7 years, and he's still at the top of his game.

It's the Lakers, they are always annoying. Just better than I thought but still can't defend or shoot....

Doncic is my favorite non-Celtic player... I love watching that kid.

If I could do what Giannis could on the court, I would probably get kicked out of a couple games per season for taunting. Oh man, I would dunk over people with that ease and let them know that they aren't ish against me. I would be Larry Bird talking in their ear saying it's a disrespect to my game when they guard me (white and black players if I'm Giannis)!

Mentioning Larry Bird and Giannis in the same sentence has me imagining this 7' athletic monster with Larry's skills averaging 40/10/10, lol.
Thank god Giannis can't shoot

he hit a 3 pretty early on and looked pretty good (form and confidence) in doing so...
if he ever gets that consistent, look out world.
