Lakers 8-0 in clutch games this season.

[76ciology]

Embiid 1-13 from the field right now....

He’s out of rhythm but he’s moving well

is he the worse MVP in their "prime" years?

the fall off seems worse than just injury.

I still think he’ll bounce back. He was actually playing well on Nov 5 and 8 before that long rest because there was pain on the other knee, and the rust in these last three games shows. He’s a shell of himself right now, but that’s fine.. it forces him to play more within the team, which helps everyone. I just want him to get back to that early November form.

Lakers 8-0 in clutch games this season.

2.2 NET rating though. Will be interesting to see if that W-L takes a hit.

hmmm how many clutch games have they had against good teams....and how many have they had their starting 5 of Ayton, Rui, Lebron, AR and Luka...and we gotta admit thats an awesome starting 5....

I think you find most of those wins were against mediocre/lower rung teams too, not contenders.

im not watching all the games but man every game I watch he is not one of the 2 or 3 best Philly players...neither is PG..philly is in an expensive rebuild.

Daigneault deserves way more credit. The quality of this roster top to bottom is a direct result of his developmental philosophy. At this rate, he's going to be an ATG coach.

OKC must be the most boring 23-1 team of all time.

Nice to see Taylor Hendricks look like an NBA player tonight, even if it was in a blowout. That leg injury destroyed an entire year of his development. It would be nice to see him continue to gain more confidence and contribute. Still don't know what Utah's trying to build though. They want to tank to retain their pick sure, but they already have so many young players who are at least playable. Why are they still starting Svi? There's no mystery to him, we know what he is.

Let's say they retain their pick this year (top 8), some of these guys are coming up for extensions (George, Sensabaugh, Hendricks). Are they going to try and put a team that competes for the play-in on the floor. Like as constructed, they can beat almost anyone in Utah. But I still don't see an identity, aside from spamming Lauri buckets.

Wouldn't say that, its just really alarming how much better they currebtly then the rest of the league.

On pace for a 74 regular season win tally

Did you factor SOS? Based on record solely, they're on pace for 78-79 wins, but they've played a soft schedule so 65-70 is still more likely imo.

Most dominant team since the 16-17 Warriors.

[Johnny Tomala]

Knicks, Raptors, Nuggets, Warriors, Lakers.

144-70 season results.

You understand you posted results AFTER two of this five games finished ?

If I post like this I could be 5/5 everyday

I'm in Europe, I didn't check if the games started.

Knicks, Raptors, Nuggets, Warriors, Lakers.

144-70 season results.

4/5 correct picks.

148-71 season results.

[SlimShady83]

Missed the games today, but just seen the news.

Wemby been out for a while now and... of course looks like his playing (maybe) vs Lakers LOL.

Lakers 8-0 in clutch games this season.

2.2 NET rating though. Will be interesting to see if that W-L takes a hit.

They also won weigh more than their net rating would suggest last year. Maybe it's like the chiefs winning 17 straight one score games right before they lost 5 straight, but the Lakers just seem good and close games.

[Duke4life831]

The Hornets seriously need to just blow it up. Ball, Bridges, Miller just don’t fit at all with the new young guys they’ve brought in.

The Hornets are in a great spot to not just put an end to the Ball era, but completely change the culture too. Getting rid of those 3 is how you start changing the culture. None of those 3 attempt to play winning basketball, they all play just me first style of play

When you have two closers it makes sense you'd be good in close games.
