I like baby blue jerseys but unc baby blue will always be the best
 
Yeah. The Lakers jerseys leave an impression on me..... The Minneapolis Lakers jerseys.
 
Man, watching this Lackers game and there is a lot of talent at that 3/4 spot. There’s no way they hang onto all of them if they land PG and Lebron next year. My guess is Ranlde would be on the move.
 
Wizards get their first loss. Only two undefeated teams right now and one of them is coming to the Moda Center tomorrow.
 
The Houston /Philly game pissed me off. Horrible last few possessions. Simmons will be great but right now he needs to give the ball up a little sooner....since he can't shoot. Embid never saw the ball at the end of the game. (3-4 possessions) Huge choke job

So you're saying that 4 games isn't really a fair span to judge a team by?

Nope, that's not what I said. My point was if you're going to use a ridiculously small sample size (you were the one "bragging" that UTA wasn't having trouble scoring after 2 games), you need to consider the quality of the competition.

The Clippers have played two JV teams in PHO and LAL and one team that averaged less than 100 ppg last season, lost their two top scorers, and is averaging 95 ppg so far this season. So, given the level of the competition it's no surprise they are "leading the league" in defense.

Oops, typed that before I saw the results of tonight's UTA vs. PHO game. 88 points against that crappy PHO team just reinforces what I said before the season started, without Hayward and Hill, UTA will struggle to score. It's not rocket science. They weren't exactly an offensive juggernaut last season and lost their two best scorers.

Due to Rubio's abysmal shooting, MIN always struggled to score with him on the floor at the end of close games. UTA, a much more offensively challenged team to begin with has inherited that deficiency. The results we are seeing were to be expected.

Yeah 9 point from your bench against Phoenix is not a great sign.....

LMAO

Seasons over huh? So the answer is the experts were wrong huh? Lol

It’s been 4 games! Long ways to go

So you think those teams (Denver & Minnesota) are better than the Blazers?

I'm honestly curious.
 
In the 10 seconds after the Lakers won, Mark Jackson said "Lavar Ball DID IT AGAIN!!!"

If that's not the cringiest sports call of all time, I don't know what is. Dude should be fired with that.

That's like me saying "Damian Lillard is going to score 50 points every game the rest of his career", then he scores 50 in his next game and Calabro says "Bones Jones is an absolute GENIUS!"...

Memphis lost, Denver lost, Minnesota lost and maybe the jazz loos against Phoenix would be pretty good for us. The top 4 in the West for me is 1. Gsw 2. Rockets 3 Spurs or Okc. Hopefully we can fight for the 5th seed against the clippers

I don't think OKC is any better! They have no bench and their pieces don't fit. They've certainly struggled so far.

If we're talking about hopefully fighting for a seed, it should be hopefully fighting for the 3rd seed.
We should be fighting for the 5th seed.

Let's talk about how awkward Paul George looks in OKC. That team has the worst bench I have ever seen. Name a less talented bench in the league.

Shit, normally I'd toss out Orlando or Crabbe but...

You're right.

Somehow they're a sure top 4 seed in the West though...
