Man, Luca does not look like the superstar that he looked like last year. He seems even slower and not able to make his shots like last year.

Teams like Orlando should be fined for this blatant tanking

That's because the Lakers are only allowed to play a winning team every 4th or 5th game.

Isn't it very suspicious? Bulls have played quite a few 5 games in 7 nights and that includes a lot of travel and good playoff teams and this has happened multiple times - including this week too where Bulls are playing 4 games in 5 nights and couple of games vs Contenders (Nets/Warrirors) while Lakers have sooooooooooooo much easier schedule with TON and I mean TON of home games - rarely seen 4 games in 5 nights etc.

The Lakers have played 25 homes games and 16 away games thus far with the 5th easiest schedule. It will all eventually balance out though. Their schedule is going to get tougher and they'll have to go on extended road trips.

Need to see some fire from the Nets tonight

Kuz has become the best player in Washington who saw that coming......

I placed a big wager on Chicago. Brooklyn doesnt beat contenders they only beat avg or bum teams and even then it takes Nash playing Kd/Harden 45 mins. Theyre not an elite team.

Wow. Wtf was that from Joe Ingles?

Ingles is such a dirty player. This is like the 3rd incident already this year.

That's Joe trying to get his team going by manufacturing some ****. Straight out of the Australian football playbook.

A good hard bump to the chest I get. But an elbow to Allen's face with no instigation? Allen's one of the nicest guys in the league too.

Another bad night for Luka in terms of his shooting percentage. Whenever he gets that together, he’s truly gonna be unstoppable

GeorgeSears · Post #32 » by **GeorgeSears** » Thu Jan 13, 2022 2:25 am

Luka looks fat, slow and ineffective. More so in this game than usual. This was a nationally televised game too. It's fair to say he's punted this season.

Hawks getting blown out again? Sorry, but nobody is convincing me that Trae deserves all star starter over Lavine, when his team may underperform so much they may not make the play-in. Yall better take a look at Zach's stat's this year and his defense (especially compared to Trae's), because yall been sleeping clearly.

Okoro needs to get healthy in a hurry so that I can quit watching Lamar Stevens attempt to play basketball.

He looked great against the Warriors. He was their best player that day.

I don't think that's what he was going for but only saw it once.

and that was the best game of his life. If hes not doing that 1 out of 10 games he is usually bricking 3s, airballing layups and clanking the ball off his hands for a turnover.

he will follow up every good play with 3 facepalms that remind you why he was undrafted and in the G-League.

He did, but the Warriors strategy involved crowding Garland while Steph was on the bigger guy in Stevens in single coverage. Something that especially worked in Lamar's favor on the fast break. If the Cavs had an actual shooter at the 2 it would really help out Garland and the bigs a lot because right now it's so easy for another defender to just tag the rolling Allen/Mobley. To be fair though, Okoro is not that shooter either. He's still 20 though, so there's time for him to hopefully develop a decent corner three.
