5-3-21 NBA Monday GT (8 games)

Oooooo Warriors are the 8 seed now after this Memphis loss to NY that's about to happen.

Pretty soft schedule for Memphis to close the year though, that'll be a tough one to hold.

[Funcrusher]

I keep hearing about point zion but he does no point things

that's probably because our coach still doesn't really know how to use him

What is the optimal way to use Zion? When this whole point Zion thing started much was made about his scoring binge and efficiency but it seems to have quieted down some.

we run an unnecessarily egalitarian offense based in a lot of pointless dribble handoffs with guards that aren't really scoring threats. Literally all we should be running is basic PnR action for Zion (as the ball handler), Zion post ups, Ingram PnR action, and Zion/Ingram 2-man game at the end of games which is basically impossible to stop. Everything else is honestly cosmetic, and yes, I know our offense isn't even the primary problem.

I swear when Dre is in the game it's like they want to run their offense through him...he gets more touches than AD, wtf? He should be nothing more than setting screens and going to the dunker spot offensively.

I'm assuming there were promises made to convince him to sign with them.

promises made to Andre Drummond, that's tuff

Some low level basketball for both Lakers and Nuggets. Like...what am I watching

[Mamba Mentality]

Today on what mediocre player will go bonkers against the Lakers we have Javale McGee.

I'm guessing it was more about keeping him from Brooklyn...though it looks like LA out-smarted themselves on that one...

[robbie_886]

So, which NBA player is Kingpin?

[dautjazz]

Damn if the Lakers miss the playoffs, that will be nuts.

[coopboii]

The struggle is very very real offensively for the Lakers

If that's the case, how pathetic lol... You are the Los Angeles Lakers, just won a championship last season, have LeBron & AD and you are making promises to Andre Drummond? LOL

All of this because they were obsessed with Marc Gasol in the off season and let Dwight walk...

[DTP]

Maybe it's the coach in me but It bothers me when the coach is in the huddle and guys not checked into the game aren't paying attention or aren't apart of the huddle. At least pretend to have respect for your coaches...

[MindState]

They have zero chance of missing the playoffs. Even if they lose every single one of their remaining games. They cant end lower then 10th, which is the last playoff spot.

[Mamba Mentality]

AD playing better basketball but still not looking like his former self. Still feels a step slow.

[Catchall]

Davis is moving better than he has been of late.

[Catchall]

Damn if the Lakers miss the playoffs, that will be nuts.

They'd probably have to lose 2 play-in games. Possible, but unlikely.

[levon]

are you joking refs

[infinite11285]

wth refs?

[levon]

lets go Marc

[Badlands]

Cool. Drummond has 4 fouls, so Gasol has to come in.

[blueNorange]
