Exclusive Around the NBA: October 2022 - The regular season has arrived!

[Pinwheel1]

AD is still really good, but he looks like a different type of player than before. Bigger but a step slower on the perimeter. Definitely all center now. I feared him more before though because of how quickly he could get from the arc to the basket. Tough matchup for most PFs. Now I think a center can at least stay with him. Still has the skills though

Lakers have been tossing up a lot of 3’s and clanking them. Lebron, Davis and Westbrick a combined 1-10 from 3

Yikes. That ain’t gonna get you a win vs the Warriors

Zers > Fakers @THE HCP

LOL! Westbrook just airballed a 3. Gosh, I missed that. You do you, Russ. Lakers going nowhere as long he is on the roster. Meanwhile, did you guys see the new LeBron/Bronny commercial?? Chills.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

I’m kinda rooting for LeBron this season but his team is trash,

A healthy Warriors = Back to Back Champs

You think they can beat healthy Bucks?

Nice stat line from Beverly tonite. It would look good if you were a pro am golfer. And I think Portland's bench is stronger than the Lakers. 3 rebounds, 2 assists and like 9 points in total 40+ minutes. If, shall I say when, LB or AD goes down, they are so screwed. Fuck them all.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Time for LeBron to go back to Cleveland

Garland/Mitchell/LeBron/Mobley/Allen contends immediately

What sucks is they might be bad enough to win lotto. And THIS is the year you want to win lotto.

Man, 3 HOF and your team is trash. That’s the 2022-23 Los Angeles Lakers

Not just HOF. Top 76 all-time team and they won’t win 40 games.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Who is worse? Westbrook or Beverly? Lakers should blow it up. Send LeBron to Cleveland and AD to Portland. Boom. Portland/Cleveland final just like the networks want.

Pelicans can swap picks this season lolz

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Blazers are tied for 2nd place in the entire NBA!

Lakers are tied for last place.

 

[blazerfan11]

Pelicans can swap picks this season lolz

The Pelicans also have the rights to the 2024 Laker pick if they want it. If they don't want it, they would get the 2025 Laker 1st round pick instead.
So the Lakers do not have a free-and-clear 1st round pick until 2026.

 

[inconceivable]

Pelicans can swap picks this season lolz

Thanks to Anthony Davis

Haha, great minds

Oden is very familiar with operations.

Season over for Sixers. Break up the team?

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Lak*rs suck

2 seed seems about right for us at this part of the season. Anyone know what the tiebreaker is?

 

[THE HCP]

Lak*rs suck

We’re in 9th….. that’s about right. Maybe a bit high.

Just now got a chance to see that Joel Embiid-Marcus Smart altercation. That was an incredibly dangerous play by Embiid. I don't disagree with Smart one bit; he absolutely could've had his arm broken by that. It's a joke that Smart was the only one called for anything on that.

Yeah Embiid was out of line on that. Clamped his arm under his. He could have released Smart's arm and still kept control of the ball.

Oden is very familiar with operations.

All jokes and BS aside, I’m happy for him. He’s had a rough go of it and if he’s changed himself for the better to find himself where he is then I wish him the best.

 

[THE HCP]

Who is our 2nd, 3rd and 4th best player?
Whose is Minnesota’s?

That was like a wrestling move to dislocate an arm.
