This is the greatest single game highlight reel I've seen in probably 15 years, if not ever. Magisterial.

Huge game from Antman. Conley needs to be deep benched. Dude is donezo.

I mean i'm happy it's the Flippers, but why you guys trying? lols

That said give us Kessler please

I think Kessler has leveled up in a big way. Say his passing in that last preseason game. We will see, but I dont think Utah will be trading Kessler for anything realistically available that LAL has.

Suns managed to erase a 20 point deficit and win the home opener. It was ugly, but here's to hoping it gets better moving forward. Booker is going to have his hands full and will need to keep the injury bug at bay. We can't afford to lose key players with this roster because it'll equate to a long stretch of misery.

This legitimately looks like what I imagined in my head when I'd lower the basket to eight feet as an 11-12 year old. :lol:

This is like seeing the reincarnation of what a modern Wilt Chamberlain would look like in the modern game. Sheeeesh

One positive I'll say for Flagg is that he physically looks the part. Looks broad and strong-built for such a young player. Has to be somewhere around 225. Not rookie LBJ (240), but then again, who was?

Kind of crazy how AD gained weight and Luka lost weight lol. Dallas did everything to get Luka to lose weight he does it for free for LA.

LA wins again.
