Ok but Porzingis is still a beast and MVP candidate as of today. Don’t you think he and Embiid would have worked great and then add Simmons to the mix it would be that much more epic.

Damn, crazy boos for Lonzo whenever he touches the ball.

I don't like the color rush stuff a lot of NBA games have had so far this year.

Damn, Ingram is pretty slow. He was trying so hard to separate and Morris just hugged him down the lane.

I still would rather have Baynes as a deep reserve instead of a rotation player, but dude makes a lot of winning plays. He's like the T.J. of bigs.

It sounds good. But you really need to watch some of those movies where people go back in time. They think just because they know what happens all they have to do is this and boom everything falls into place. But things don't always work out that way. I know I made a movie reference, but life and basketball is like that too. You change one thing and it could easily take you down another road.

Kyrie doing magic.

The court mic just picked up Kyrie chumping Julius Randle. Heard him say "all you do is bump and spin." He's not lying!

Omg lol. What is Lonzo doing? I saw that block coming a mile away.

I like the kid.

He is one of my favorite young guys in the league, and I love the fact that players like him sometimes are found in the second round. It gives every team hope.

1. It could absolutely work, unless your playing GSW.

2.Why does this continue to be a debate? If we are going back into time and taking Porzingis, getting Simmons is not a lock.

Who would argue that Porzingis should play center?

He and Embiid would be awesome together.

Baby Lakers are making Boston pay for lowering their compete level.

Unbreakable99 · Post #1893 » by **Unbreakable99** » Thu Nov 9, 2017 2:46 am

Randle changed the whole game with his play. He got the Lakers back to have a chance to win.

Did something happen to tatum? Only 9 minutes?

I don't see him on the bench.

Yes. Hurt his ankle. It didn’t sound serious though.

They're lucky their playing the lakers... this lineup right now woof. Real thin without tatum or Horford.

Ericb5 · Post #1897 » by **Ericb5** » Thu Nov 9, 2017 3:05 am

Randle is a frustrating beast. He needs to work in the off season on his shooting and his right hand, but man he competes.

Is Boston trying to lose this game?

Hasn’t that been his scouting report since he stepped on the floor at UK?

Kobblehead · Post #1900 » by **Kobblehead** » Thu Nov 9, 2017 3:12 am

Randle is handicapped by his length. A power big having short arms is such an impediment. If he had a freaky 7'3" wingspan, he'd be more valuable because he's be able to play the 5 and protect the rim a little.
