That pullup jumper Lonzo just missed was the ugliest thing I've seen this side of MKG.

For the love of god, please fix that thing Lonzo.

Why is Rose out?

Never mind. Saw ankle woes again.

As usual, Chris Paul's injury-prone ass is going to cost his team a good seeding. Now, Mbah a Moute is out. Soon, it'll be another player because everyone's minutes are being over-extended while Chris Paul is cheerleading off the bench. Terrible start...

Why doesn't Julius Randle play more?

I have only seen the celtics game from lakers this season and now this first quarter but I like what I see from him a lot.

He played really selfish to start off the season and didn't mesh well with what they were trying to do. Now he gets limited minutes off the bench and he has performed much much better.

Allegedly they have decided that "he is not a part of their future" and they want him coming off the bench. Also, he is allegedly not happy about it but remaining as professional as possible. Woj said stuff to this effect last night and the all NBA media has been talking about it today.

Wall seems self-absorbed and Beal is often more effective. They're like Blazers east. I don't think they care about getting to the next level.

Wizards really need to get it together on the defensive end. Getting punked by Lebron and Durant is one thing, but they're getting rekt by some of the worst teams in the West on the regular. Their offense is very stagnant and ISO-based when Wall is off the court, but overall it's good, need to sort out defense...

I don't want it to happen but Cousins is probably going to get ejected this game. He's taking a personal matchup here and if Raptors get it over them then Cousins gonna do what he knows best.

DeRozan makes two threes and now he thinks he's Steph Curry.

Being honest? He's not trying. He gets injured every year, so I think he's trying to preserve himself for the playoffs.

But he needs to realize that he's not that good :lol:

Maybe hes doing reverse psychology.

Pretending the reg. Season is the playoffs.
And hopefully during playoffs, he will have a reg. season mindset.
