I think we're proving each others point. The lakers suck, and Clarkson is only so good that he's making a Lakers team only marginally better in the last 2 years.

I never said he was a superstar lol. I said he was the best player on one of the worst teams. Borderline all star in the east probably.
 
No doubt Clarkson is a solid combo guard off the bench. If they did not give him 50 mil last year....he would be long gone.

I think that's a pretty reasonable contract for him. Like 9 million less per year than crabbe. And he's a lot better than crabbe.

Yeah, I was upset because I knew we could have won that game. When the game is so close, and the Blazers could have had it had they been smart, with a 3-0 start on the horizon, there is bound to be reaction. Fact is we got tired and let it slip away with foolish mistakes. Bucks are a hell of team, Giannis has a bright future ahead of him in the NBA.

It took 3 spectacular defensive plays and 40+ points from a top 5 all NBA guy, AT HOME for them to beat us by only 3.

Perspective is a MF.
 
I'm not sure why Philly is even playing Fultz. They have never been afraid to sit a rookie through injuries and the guy is a complete non factor out there with his shoulder. He won't shoot a jump shot. With the injury he is effectively playing like the worst player in the NBA.
 
Whatt game are we talking about again? :drumroll:

All I know is we are playing the Pelicans.

Might be Fultz trying to fight through it.

I get that. Showing the will to fight through an injury is a good sign. I give him props for that. But, he shouldn't be playing. Whatever his injury is, he is complete garbage on the court.

I wouldn't call them scrubs, they are just system defensive players. Kinda like the Spurs players of the mid 2000s.

I've got to say, apart from Parsons (who is a bit player for them at the moment) I'd be hard-pressed to pick most of them out of a lineup. I mean, where were they drafted? How many of them were UNdrafted?
 
Plumlee's now a 13 minutes-off-the-bench player. Wonder if they regret that trade. (On the flipside, Will is leading them in scoring, so they don't regret THAT trade.)
 
Damn how do the Grizzlies stay good every year? I like their management a lot
 
2 things that Memphis does they play as a team and the play defense that why they are always there.

They are the poor man's Spurs. It doesn't matter who is in the game, they just grit out wins.

Yup that’s a good comp. They are like the Spurs without the championship recently.

Have they had a season under 48 wins recently?

I watched the game and they didn't even play very well. There was one funny play where Gasol was being guarded by Eric Gordon in the post. For some reason he kicked the ball out fire a contested 3. It made zero sense.
