Bron's passing is insane.

This ESPN broadcast is cliche garbage.

Almost feel nostalgic for the days when GB said LeBron was too old to play games anymore, Linda Rambis was destroying the Lakers, and Silver needed to take over management of the team.

Never change, GB. Never change.

The Warriors are a pretty depleted team so this game shouldn’t be surprising. All of their centers are hurt and Curry’s not playing. Don’t know why the league decided to do this but this Warriors team needs everyone playing.

Lakers preseason has been a mix they are abusing the Warriors but had a tough time with the Nets

They can't shoot. This LAL team will get challenged during regular season. Also their guards easy to go by, in loaded WC I'd like to see how they'll handle those guards. D.LO having a good night is no coincident. We beat up on them in China.

It's nice not having Rondo out there killing spacing and ball movement.

[thebigbird]

People forgot what LeBron can do with spacing. I think the people predicting his demise are going to be disappointed once again.

I don't put a lot of stock into preseason other than looking at how the young players do. All Stars and vets getting 20 minutes a game or DNP's does not move the needle a lot.

AD midrange not there yet.

You "beat up on them"?

Anthony Davis played 12 mins total in 2 games. Kuzma played 0.

It's preseason. Don't get too excited about your Nets over preseason. It's gonna be a huge netdown.

These are just meaningless exhibitions. You can see that certain players look good, but you can't draw conclusions about team success.

Guy read it again. All I said your guards stink and we did beat up on them. I didn't mention anything else. You guys couldn't do much vs our 2d and 3d string guards.

Okay that's really not clear in your writing.

At one point you said "this LAL team".

I thought maybe "we beat up on them in China" was a conclusion referring to your whole paragraph, which you opened with "they can't shoot".

Either way good luck dude.

Ain't no good luck from me because Lakers. Tired seeing all this Lakers fans around the world.

That was a good showing. No Huerter but Hawks got a win. Collins killing the glass even on a bad night and Trae with zero turn overs. Madison Square Garden is not for wall flowers. Hunter and Reddish accounted for themselves well.

Hawks winning with 36% FG against one of the worst team in the league is encouraging for you? Both teams looked incredibly bad.

[lonzo_pelota]

its sad AD had a off shooting night and we won by a landslide

Vince Cater looked good at least.

Yes Vince was great. That tells it all about how both teams have played. Grandpa the best player of the match.

You right they did play iso ball Knix that had more vet's out there. However let's not forget the fact they got rookie team out there that didn't play with each other much. If they can build some chemistry during the season and add a vet C who can stretch the floor and protect the rim... they can make some noise. This ATL team will look like trash some nights because they have no idea how to play yet. On the bright side Trea being utilized right by their coach.

[GTR11]

This Knix team won't win more than 20 games. Iso ball with these bums? Might as well give Melo a solid and give him a last run to retire with dignity.

[ThunderBolt]

"It's going to come, man," he said after a 14-point, 4-rebound, 4-assist, 8-turnover outing in a loss to the Spurs. "It's just going to be a process, like I mentioned earlier in the season. It's going to be a season where we figure it out. And teams that have figured it out still struggle, so don't be like alarmed."

In three preseason games russ is 4-21 from three for a blistering 19% from three. I’m sure this will improve significantly because it’s preseason, right? Russ said the same things about “figuring it out” last year with his struggles.

[Ice Trae]

I'm all in for this Dwight redemption arc. Keep it up big fella
