Fino and Christie should be getting this burn over Vincent, didn't understand the signing then, don't now.

Reddish has been a bummer everywhere he's been. Don't know how his agent convinced the Lakers to sign him. Aren't the Lakers trying to win championships?

The Sixers team is proably going to struggle to make the playoffs. They have no point gaurd and seem disfunctional. The only reason the Sixers were in that game was because Dame was on the floor - Sixers came back from 20 points down when they started targeting him. Refs bailed out the Bucks. Replace Dame with Jrue and Bucks win by 20. Terrible offseason move - Portland should be charged with Murder for that trade.

On a slightly different note -I don't think even the most biased Bucks or Dame fan would deny that the refs gave that game to the Bucks - it was so blatant I wouldn't be surprised if there is an investigation into betting on the game, and police become involved.


And the main reason the Bucks were up 20 in the 2nd quarter was a run sparked by Dame. We wouldn’t have scored so well in this one if we had Jrue taking bad shots (for his ability).

Looks like he might’ve been a product of Heat Culture. But it’s still early so we’ll see

Lakers better step it up or the media will go BONKERS on some of these dudes. It's only a matter of time before Vincent's head is on the chopping block as well. I'd be terrified if I was this dude

76ers fans can't be this broken after one game can they?

He is, outside of that, he's just....there. I've seen him play at UCSB and his tenacity killing the Big West, and I stand by that statement.

He needs to be in a unit where the four other guys can score and pass, not with Reddish in.

Edit: As I say it, that's the unit he's in with. Ham should never play him when any of Reddish, Hayes, Prince or Rui are on the court.

AD wasted the end of Lebron's career because he couldn't stay healthy or take the torch.smh


Lebron chose the Lakers when they were a rebuilding team and he chose to send all their assets away for Anthony Davis. Everything currently happening to Lebron is a direct result of his decisions, just as it's been every year since he took his talents to South Beach.

This is sad. You somehow blamed Lebron for AD not staying healthy.

Lebron can tie his shoe and you will say he didn't tie it right.

Yeah blame Lebron for another grown men who can't stay healthy. I guess AD gets a pass because Lebron didn't train him in the offseason.smh

It's so stupid that no matter how much talent is on the floor, the Lakers will always turn into a lottery team without Lebron on the floor

I don't even know how the Lakers even won when Lebron was out with his foot last season
