I agree but he played really good for tonight in spots

This post by me aged horribly

It happens lol....he is lazy as hell but tonight he made some key blocks and looked engaged

Just him not backing down against the Laker clown earned my respect.

How bad do you have to be on offense to score ONLY 93 points against the Trail Blazers? It was virtually impossible not to score 120 against them before tonight.

We knew the bubble might not work for everyone, home court is a huge intangible for teams that is now missing.

Of course it was just one game in a series.........

You have to also IMO look at a few dark horse teams in the league who are usually in the mix but never break through in the usual format. A team like the Rockets comes to mind for me here since someone like Harden can score 50 anywhere.

I don't put much stock in orlando beating the bucks but portland beating the lakers........I think the blazers can win that series if the lakers don't get their s*** together like, immediately. Portland has actual stars and good players on that team and they are riding a ton of momentum. They aren't a true 8th seed.

Thats how I feel. Zero confidence in Orlando here. Yikes.

Portland? Could be interesting......

**** Lebron. **** AD. And **** the Lakers. I hope Lebron falls off a cliff and the lakers are the 9th seed for 5 years with AD there by himself.

That was fun. Lakers will still win though. If not, then I’ll buy a Dame jersey the next day.

THANK YOU! Nobody said that, no announcer, not Chuck afterwards , etc. Nobody. And, not only didn’t they foul, but they just let them walk in for a layup. Probably cuz the players assumed somebody was fouling.

This is pretty concerning. They both have to dominate for Lakers to win the title imo

I'm gonna be super pissed if the Raptors repeat and they entice Giannis to join them in free agency.

The Danforth neighborhood there does have some good Greek restaurants.
