I don't think we've ever linked the previous days game thread to the next day's thread, but here it is: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2442622

By the next day you can usually find it on page 2 of the forum.

Luka massacre

I think we need a separate thread for Luka massacre. I don't remember being so excited about a RS game.
I hope lakers fans will meet Nico Harrison with positive energy - he's their Executive of the Year

Well, I've decided at the last minute to see Bucks Rockets tonight. First time going to a game alone - besides Summer League. (I went to a lot of concerts alone in my 20's.) Wish me luck!

Lakers/Nuggets saw a 29% increase in viewership compared to Celtics/Knicks in the same slot last year (Saturday Primetime on ABC). Lakers being good is good for the NBA, plain and simple.

I'll take the over on assists for Luka and the under for points tonight



Ain't no way they're putting max christie on luka :lol: :lol:

Im guessing PJ is on him or someone else who's got enough strength. Christie will get bullied by the sheer strength of Luka.

Luka going for 50 tonight guaranteed. Or a 40-point triple-double at least.

Luka looks much happier now that he's a skinny LA resident :nod:

Being a fat Texan had him so sad :(

Celtics are the worst with these late scratches...Kristaps was just sick 2 weeks ago.
