Royce O’Neal is a very good defender lol are you serious rn? He’s not some bum defender.

Basketball is not that simple. The Suns shot 30% from 3 vs the Lakers 45%.

A Suns fan could argue this would have been a double digit win had the Suns made shots they normally make.

Fans tend to cherry pick one number, disregarding other abnormalities.


Except LeBron is far more consistent than team 3%. This was an outlier of outliers.


Lakers didn't win, I don't care enough to argue about it. Just saying it's promising for the Lakers. Wasn't intended to take anything away from the Suns.

Dude i know Royce is a good defender. He's not that good that it looks like he's got Bron in handcuffs. This was all Lebron looking disinterested the entire game. He had the same crap going on last season where he had games he just took time off on the court.

That's fair enough, Lebron is a beast and considering that the questions coming into the season were more about LALs supporting cast, I see where you're coming from in terms of the rest of the lakers stepping up. Reeves is really looking like a legit third option.

I wasn't high on the Lakers coming into the season, but thus far they've blown away my expectations - though I need a larger sample size to be convinced.

LeBron was 11% from 2 tonight, that's the worst mark in his career. I think next worse was like 16%.
Only game he ever scored just one 2-point bucket too.

Man the Nuggets suck. 2-man game with Jokic and Murray went from one of the most unstoppable plays in nba history to a joke in span of half a year because Murray is trash and there is 0 shooters around them, yes 0, MPJ lost his mojo...
They went away from that play and just let Jokic play in the post because that was only way to get a bucket. They were lucky Raptora are in capture the Flagg mode and didn't double him.

This Lakers. team is one of the most watchable Lakers teams since im watching NBA, shame that Lebron is killing it, first with that Bronny ****, today with trying to keep his streak alive...

Yea. He clearly wants to do well. Admitting to your mistakes is a big move for a coach. It's usually, "we, we, we."

LA just literally shot 40 FTs to the Suns 17 on Friday, and had a 25-2 FT advantage Friday night.

Yall complaining about calls is a bit much.

Quality comeback with by the Bulls against a solid team on the road.

Definitely can say The Cavs are the 2nd best team in the East and have the size and wings that can challenge Boston.

Fun day of results so far



They might be the second best in the east, I think that is going to be a battle with Orlando though. And I dont think Cleveland can match up with Boston at all. They just cant stop them.

Allen/Mobley on KP and Horford
Mobley/Wade on Tatum?
Levert/Niang on Brown?
Mitchell in White?
Garland on Jrue is probably OK cause Jrue doesnt shoot much.

They have the same team as last year and got stomped by Boston.


IMO the team in the East that match up the best are Indiana and Orlando

Orlando is a well built machine
Indiana is ALMOST there, they really need something a bit more on the wing. and I dont see Indiana's Siakam, Hali and Turner continuing to shoot so poorly.

Indiana was in close against Orlando and against. and in their loss to the Knicks they just flat out sucked. a Stinker. Team shot 3-30 from the 3pt line. Haliburton that game had an offensive rating of 33

Marcus Smart may be the worst starter in the NBA tbh.
