^ haha I love it.

 

[RR7]

 

[DDolla]

Phoenix will blow us out

 

[noknobs]

Now Bazemore with the tech. It warms my heart, hope it lasts.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Is it wrong I get more enjoyment from a Lakers loss than a Blazers win?

Fuck Westbrook, fuck those old guys and fuck all the stupid national media crowning them as the west favorites. At this rate they'll be fighting to make a playin game.

 

[BonesJones]

The Lakers offensive pieces don't fit together. This was obvious.

 

[Cugel]

Howard=Melo=Jordan=Ariza=Westbrook=0
I give Vogel 8 more games to go 6 and 2 or he is gone.

 

[DDolla]

PHX starters can rest now and get ready for our game tomorrow.

Takes from today:
Udoka huge loss for those who thought he was better than Chauncey. TBD obviously but keeping an eye on him through the season.

Spurs don’t worry me but they seem really, really good defensively. They’re gonna be in a lot of close games I think.

Lakers are ass right now.

Suns should be a fun game tomorrow.

Our performance against the kings doesn’t look so bad.

 

[wizenheimer]

 

[Predator]

According to sources, LeBron has requested a trade the the Portland Trail Blazers to play with Damian Lillard.
- Coming soon, probably.

 

[MickZagger]

2 games in lol

 

[Tince]

No

I'll take the other end of that bet!

 

[Tince]

Kings 8-36 from 3 tonight. What gives?

Suns should be a fun game tomorrow? lol yeah Suns with a blow out

yep, Portland lost to the Kings by less than the Kings lost to the Suns

Vogel is a good coach, this isn't his fault.

 

[Further]

Anyone hear what the AD/Howard beef was about? I’m guessing it was AD pissed Howard was playing like shit, but must be more.

The way AD was shooting I would hope he wasn't giving Dwight crap. AD made a dunk and a layup late in the 4th to climb to 33% shooting for the game.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Phoenix will blow us out

I don’t see a win for awhile unfortunately

Would love to be wrong but I doubt it

 

[Chris Craig]

Suns should be a fun game tomorrow? lol yeah Suns with a blow out

It's good the Suns won today. They won't be as driven to get a win tomorrow.

It's like Uncle Drew but they suck and lose in the end

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Wizards/Lakers trade looking really bad. I think KCP for Westbrook would’ve been a bad deal for Lakers but all the other guys too? Wouldn’t be surprised if Washington is a top 3 seed and Lakers are back in the play-in.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Fuck Westbrook, fuck those old guys and fuck all the stupid national media crowning them as the west favorites. At this rate they'll be fighting to make a playin game.

I’d put money on Lakers being in play-in this year.

Howard was pissed he made the all time top 75 and he didn’t.

 

[royo]

Wait, LaMarcus 10/12? Hasn't he finished career last season?

You do understand what "categorically" means right?
Terry Stotts grew up in Indiana. Of course they called him. He was never really in consideration. My "Sauces" tell me that is because he simply was not interested.

Now let me add. You are correct. He has been offered a job. Because obviously you feel he has been and this story says he was indeed in consideration. I'm good with that.

Your original statement said "No team thought he was worth Hiring" then you post a story saying he was a front runner and considered by the Pacers. Which is probably true. He was considered because they thought he would be worth hiring. Problem is he was not interested.

 

[Predator]

Suns should be a fun game tomorrow? lol yeah Suns with a blow out

They lost to the Nuggets by double figures who played the Spurs fairly closely. Suns on a back to back. I don’t think it will be a blowout. Could be wrong. That’s why they play the games eh.

 

[Predator]

yep, Portland lost to the Kings by less than the Kings lost to the Suns

Kings were in that game until Gobert started gobbling everything up in the fourth quarter.

it’s not like we lost to a rebuilding team (raptors) by 40 with our new coach (Celtics).

Mr. Numbers wanna take a deep dive into all the advanced stats or since that doesn’t fit your narrative you’re not in the mood for that?

Let me rephrase: The Kings look better than I thought they’d look. It’s not always about wins and losses. The 76ers looked way better than I thought they would yesterday but proceeded to blow it in the 4th. Nets didn’t look so great and still won. Pacers lost to the Wiz without Beal. You can still learn about these teams despite the scoreboard. But once again, you’re a smart guy, and I know your a numbers guy, so why you’re choosing *now* to say “lol scoreboard” essentially is absolutely hilarious to me.
