Friday 3/14 NBA Game Thread

Is that Reaves out there or Jerry West?

[Tracymcgoaty]

I remember when people compared Braun and Pritchard to Reaves.

Fun times.

Jokic should be put down if he doesn’t have a positive plus-minus by the end of tonight

[duppyy]

How are jazz getting away with resting Kessler almost every game? Hurting my fantasy team

[SlimShady83]

Jokic has zero defense man.

This Is what pees me off the most. Reaves goes to the basket Jokic pretended to go up, but didn't even bother and thought nope, why the fook can't players drive and attack Jokic more?

This Is why I was peed off last game watching Den/Wolves game Jokic had 2 early fouls, Gobert 1 why the fook can't you drive more and make another foul on Jokic etc, not like his going to try and stop you.

LOl I ended up trading for Kessler In my teams, because I needed Blks/Reb. + I want him badly on the Lakers

To be fair- and I say this as one of the loudest +/- advocates- 1 game doesn't really mean anything. I'd say Joker has proven himself in the impact department

I think Nuggets do a good job of hiding him on defense. Gordon probably plays a huge role in that as well. Also i think we probably live in a era where there are no real dominant centers aside from Jokic. When Embiid was healthy and faced Joker he usually had huge games.

Like Jokic is the only Center with legit post skills. People talk Sengun and he's good but nowhere close to Jokic. I think if there were more elite centers in the game they'd probably make an emphasis of going at Jokic.

please don't have 3rd quarter woes Lakers

But everyone is just tall and lanky and play from the outside in most of the time which probably suits Joker just fine.

They don't do a good job of hiding him defensively anymore. They got away with in the championship year because they could bench MPJ for Bruce Brown and KCP could cover up for Murray. Those guys are gone now. Murray, MPJ, and Jokic are being exposed for being bottom 10 defenders at their positions.

You can live with Jokic being on defense for what he gives on the other end of the floor. But MPJ and Murray getting paid max contracts to only show up every other game on offense and playing no defense? That's hard to overcome

[SlimShady83]

I swear I thought Knecht was going up to dunk that LOL

[SlimShady83]

Nice hustle Vando

[SlimShady83]

3rd quarter woes again ...

Who's the best player Lakers can get for 3rd quarters? LOL

[OriginalRed]

3rd quarter woes again ...

Who's the best player Lakers can get for 3rd quarters? LOL

At least this time, it's legit because they're missing half their roster lol.

They do this when healthy too though

[SlimShady83]

Vando pass to Reaves nice

[Tracymcgoaty]

ooooh well it was fun while it lasted. Just too shorthanded.

[Mamba Mentality]

Goodwin has ruined a number of defensive possessions this quarter by gambling and leaving his man wide open.

[SlimShady83]

Milton LOL

[SlimShady83]

Why does everyone go hot vs Lakers? LOL
