Can you imagine if they called games this way during the regular season! Hardin might stop slipping!

 

[H.C.]

Swanigan you have to play better defense.
Not acceptable.

 

[B-Roy]

Lakers are attacking Biggie on every possession.

 

[BonesJones]

How is that a foul?

When you stop the jr showtime lakers from getting alley-oop dunks you get called for a foul.

 

[Duckhook]

Cool - Stotts to be interviewed next. I bet they ask him a question about lonzo...

 

[joeBlazers]

I don't Leonard playing much this season. Unless his new coach works wonders with him.

 

[MickZagger]

The first game where Biggie's defense is being exploited.

Well if you thought he was going to be perimeter defender you're going to be disappointed. Most NBA bigs would have been blown past by Vander Blue on that drive. Too easy for those guards to get the the cup when they have ISO on a big out past the 3 pt line.

 

[Driew]

I hope we sign Cleveland. I'm loving his defense so far.

If they do I swear to god...

Not just that play. He was beat on a couple plays before that too.

Stockline press quotes for the next 10 years.

"Lonzo Ball is a hell of a ball player."

"Aaron Judge is a hell of a ball player."

"Sam Darnold is a hell of a ball player."

Get used to it folks.

 

[Darkwebs]

Cleveland has made some impressive defensive plays.

 

[H.C.]

Not just that play. He was beat on a couple plays before that too.

After the first game or two Swanigan has shown lack of focus on the defensive end.
It's just more obvious this game. More people watching that end.

Don't forget all of the Warriors cocksucking. That alone deserves it's own stat line.

 

[H.C.]

Don't forget all of the Westbrick cocksucking. That alone deserves it's own stat line.

Mark Jackson is all over that.

 

[B-Roy]

Biggie is really slow in transition and the Lakers are exploiting that.

A good comparison right now = Greg Monroe?

I can live with GS fapping if I don't ever hear about Brady any more. I swear he's the Devil.

 

[BonesJones]

How is that a foul?!?!

 

[H.C.]

WOAH WOAH. LOOKED LIKE ALL BALL. DON'T GUESS.

 

[maxiep]

Sadly, I think Caleb also patterned his defensive game after Z-Bo. "Z-fence".

8 games in 9 nights.

He's gassed.

Yeah I think so.
Worried about the rookie wall.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

He's a sponge, he'll learn. He has heart and hustle and if defense is how he earns those minutes he will earn those fucking minutes.

 

[B-Roy]

He definitely looks tired. Laboring down the court in transition.

 

[TBpup]

Did RJ Hunter bet on the Lakers? Good grief!

 

[42N8Bounce]

I hate it when Hunter takes a bad shot and misses. I hate it even more when he makes a shot. That only means he's gonna shoot more. Ugh.

 

[Jade Falcon]

This. Listening to the commentary during the SB was fucking agony.

 

[joeBlazers]

We hope to outshoot them.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Because he's a spot up shooter who can finish well around the rim if he has space. He's not someone like Swanigan, who's going to go one-on-one right at a player in the low post. Caleb is also better at finishing in traffic because of how big he is. With the way the SL guards are, every big man has 3 defenders collapsing on him.

Sounds like Layman and L.
