Eww, get a room

I wish he wasn't martyred, so ppl will stop eulogizing his fake dynasty but alas

I can't believe Jeff Green's decomposed corpse can drop 20 in a playoff game in 2020.

Orlando is dangerous if their vets get hot. Ross getting hot could cause Bux issues.

Would be one of the all time greatest upsets if this Magic team bounced the Bucks.

Can't see it happening, but would be wild.

Didn't watch the game - who defended Giannis? Shame they don't have Isaac, would be almost the perfect matchup for him if he had just a little more bulk.

It's going to be very interesting to see if AD has it in him to take over games if Lebron slows down in this post season. I'm not sure AD is that guy.

He's not that guy, and he's a center; but the Blazers suck so Lakeshow should be fine

Shame on all the folks that have tried to rate him over Harden for all these yrs though

Didn't catch it. Saw the final score. Looks like Giannis had a monster game.

For the Bucks, they get regarded as one of the top defensive teams in the L. They gave up 122 today.

Watch the League give this first game to Portland just so they can extend the series and generate more interest in the games for people who want to see if Lebron will lose.

AD has always felt like more of a complementary piece. Kind of like a Zo level player. Can drop 50 once in a blue moon, but play strong defense and keep defenses honest. Would love to have him on the Heat. Hopefully he'll get disenchanted with LA and come running to Miami.

Damn, was that a triple post? I had to delete one already.

Lakers defense is trash. They look sooo slow.

Post #1233 » by **DayofMourning** » Wed Aug 19, 2020 1:45 am

Carmelo going to squash Bron's title chances. Cold.

dean456 · Post #1234 » by **dean456** » Wed Aug 19, 2020 1:46 am

Gary Trent Jr guarding Lebron isn't it.

dean456 · Post #1235 » by **dean456** » Wed Aug 19, 2020 1:47 am

One thing thats also bad for LA is I feel like Whiteside always played well in games against Lebron.

Nurkic with a 10 and 10 double double in only 9:58

This has been chalked up as an L for the Lakers all along.

Still don't like Portland's chances, but Lakers look as bad as they've looked in the bubble. GG Mos

Remember being a fan of Mario pre-draft. One of the reasons I defer my opinion now when it comes to foreign based talent.

I remember being high on Maciej Lampe.

Yep.
