I agree. It's only 1 game and the Lakers should be ok. However, one of their big 3 has to sacrifice their offense and I'm not sure which one will do it. Early on, it's looking like Russ should be the one taking a step back BUT his game isn't built for that. Logically, because he can do so many other things, it should be Lebron to pull back on offense in order to let Russ be Russ and AD still get his. It'll be fascinating to watch this season.


Westbrook needs to become a passer/ball handler exclusively. He cannot be allowed to shoot the ball. He's been a historically inefficient scorer the last few years. Basically, he needs to become Ben Simmons. Unfortunately, that's not the player the Lakers need, but they don't have a choice.



Simmons for Westbrook. There's Morey's solution!


Screw Morey. Kyrie for Westbrook. Works on multiple levels.

Seeing Lowry in that Heat uniform is so...unnatural

This Hawks team looks great.

Dallas struggling bodes well for us to get a Dragic deal done. Looked at their Reddit board and some are complaining that they need more creators/“someone who can dribble more than twice”

Also Some complaints that Luka looks unmotivated, which Dragic could help

F it, I'm going to follow and root for the Heat as a secondary team this year. I just can't not cheer for Kyle, I got too accustomed to it. Plus I just love his game and leadership.

Lol this coaches analysis on the Heat broadcast is hilariously bad. I think we need to stop complaining about our home broadcast it’s light years ahead of these other ones
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars

Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

Look At Lowry do his thing. Honestly look at the heat play you don’t see Lowry just dribbling the ball around for five hours.

In FVV's defense, I will say that he is in the wrong role and Nurse is the one who needs to adjust this issue.

Hmmm...so would it be:

Dragic and Flynn for Dwight Powell, Willie Cauley Stein and Josh Green?

I think Dallas would want another big man to make up for losing Powell and Stein...so then also flip them Boucher for a trade exception the Mavs have from moving Josh Richardson to Boston.

He makes that team a real contender. He is easily one of the best floor generals in the NBA, on both ends. Directs defense and offense. BBIQ off the charts.

Notice how the Heat already looks like Lowry's team?

I miss Lowry, man.
