Only eight points in the second quarter. Slacker.

All that Jokic glazing and your guy is struggling with a 3-7 team without Kawhi. Take a seat, pal.


Joker isn’t struggling against them


Clippers on pace to put up 140. With no Kawhi. Wild comment to make.

And Jokic is a plus 7. I mean you can’t be this ignorant in your take. It is almost like you aren’t even watching the game.

Bruh. They're the Champs. We know don't need to wait and see how they'll play in May. We know.

Only funny thing here is people acting like the Lakers are losing to a scrub team here.


I'm not saying wait-and-see on OKC. They are a fairly known quantity. I'm saying their competition is older and obviously not in top form yet. Denver has no reason to believe they can't compete with OKC in a 7 game series 6 months from now, and the Lakers have enough pieces to not write off. I still think Houston could be a problem and San Antonio is a wildcard with Wemby.

The games in Los Angeles will be closer, I’m sure. The Lakers’ perimeter defense issues aren’t going away without a trade, though.

All I see is a Clippers layup drill and Denver losing because no defense is being played. Am I missing something?

Warriors shot 57 of 85 FGAs from 3.

Two thirds of their shots were from the arc.

Enter Foster.

GSW 32-36FTs to Spurs 14-16FTs bwahahahahahahahaha!

And I'm not even blaming the loss on these. We had it in our grasp and loosened our grip.

But **** me if this isn't ugly basketball in favour of entertainment highlights and betting and **** the NBA for fostering it. Get it, Foster harharhar...

Going to be tough to make a decent trade with out including Reaves or at least the draft capital of what little they have.

Lakers stated they not trading Reaves unless it's Giannis/Jokic and neither are happening lol.

That said Lauri is my next go to.

Nobody is beating this Thunder team. And they are about to get a top ten pick from a trade they made like 6 years ago. Jeez.

I don’t see how Reaves and Luka can share a backcourt defensively long term, and once Reaves gets extended, it will be harder for them to improve on the margins.

As a Rockets’ fan, I could see a Reaves for Tari Eason deal helping both teams.

The fact that the Thunder have been this good with Chet and Dort in and out of the lineup and their all NBA teammate not even playing a game yet is testament to what an insane offensive metronome Shai is. If this keeps up he's going to join Jokic and Giannis as the next back to back MVP

But then Bronny would never get to play.
