Sad to see Trae Young miss most of his game after spraining his ankle. Hope he can bounce back fast. Really like that kid, and Collins, and Herro. Just really like that Atlanta team as a whole.

Yeah, I'm quite a fan too. Still not sold on Young as Curry 2.0 or whatever, but really solid team. Guys like Bembry, Parker and Huerter are all solid young role players too.

Just wish they'd taken Herro or Alexander-Walker over Reddish

I think a trigger happy Nash with worse passing and vision is a more accurate comparison.

Memphis not even really trying against LA.

Given AD 27 free throws. Only given Jonas V and Ja low 20's for minutes, while Tyus Jones and Grayson Allen have 15+ despite their +/- being -27 and -25 respectively. Also got Marko Guduric (who?) getting significant playing time.

Love it! I know LA getting wins always sucks, but the Grizz clearly have no desire to be overly competitive this season.

Lakers man. Anthony Davis 40/20 night.

They are ready to steamroll through the West and into the Finals, hate to say it.

That's if they can make it in the post season without getting hurt.

Lol. They beat up the obviously tanking Grizzlies, but lost to the Clips when the Clips didn't have their second best player (who is a top 12 player in the league). C'mon dude.

Yes you hate to say it so much that you say it at the earliest and slightest opportunity

Lol I love people talking up this second rate Los Angeles team like they're a contender when they're more like a fringe playoff team in the West.

Yeah, but then it's unprotected. Can't imagine them being a non-lotto team any time soon

A non-lotto team can range from 2000s Bobcats to 2018 Kings, so I'd much rather it turn out to be #7 this year than #14 the next in a vacuum.

Neat and tidy 3300th post

I don't think the Lakers will be a top seed.  However in the playoffs with Lebron and AD healthy, I'd probably put them 2nd after the Clips. 

Lebron, AD, Green and Kuzma are arguably better than the Clips top 4 starters (Kawhi, PG13, Beverly? and Shamet?).  I'd expect the Lakers to make some moves.  They have several trade-able 1-year contracts.  They'll probably end up with Iggy via buyout if not trade.
