Can't win with homeless man's Jokic.

Jokic can't win against Caruso either so pointless comment.

All he has ever been.

Before tonight, De’Aaron Fox was 17-28 from the floor in his first two games of the season and 8 of 9 from the free throw line. He’s a below average three-point shooter, but his career field goal percentage is 47%.

So Ja for Reaves? Because how could the Lakers make that work? Morant needs the ball in his hands and is useless off the ball. And Luka is heliocentric.

That would be horrendous team building. No the 50 million dollar old man needs to put some icy hot on and his depends and suit up.

Well, the number 1 seed is already OKC's lol.

Yes, but they indeed have a very good chance of getting the #1 seed. Barring injuries, we can assume that’ll happen.

Maybe Houston might not keep up and end up as the 4th or 5th seed. If OKC faces both Houston and Denver, it might be just enough to wear them out.

Never thought we were better than OKC. Everyone else is fair game tho.

I cant hear you from your soon to be measly 5th seed.

Cool story.

How about for his career?

Reeves is 100x better than Ja at this point. I wouldn't Ja for Rui. Thats how trash his value is right now.

Just be glad it wasn't Game 7 (and/or 6) of the (2018) WCF and move on, friend.

The Lakers will be fine. It’s one game.

I made a pact not to watch them but shoutout to Jordan Ott in Phoenix. 7-5 start with Brooks missing multiple games and Jalen Green only playing once. Maybe they make the play-in after all.

And my god, the vibes in Sacramento are bad.

OKC curb stomps everyone else too but they do it the Lakers and the haters come out and celebrate. Par for the course.

Chuck Everett wrote:Free throws were lopsided as hell, but 14 turnovers for Wemby/Fox vs. 15 for the Warriors as a team hurts just as bad.

I didn't watch the game, but I've watched (and played) basketball long enough to know that a whistle is often the difference between a foul and a turnover.

Just sayin'. :lol:

But I'll defer to the viewers. :lol:

And they're doing it tonight w/o their 2 all defensive players from last year.

Who wins?
