Or like the Bulls did to us :cry:

Keep pounding the ball Lebron...ugh. So happy I'm a Heat fan, and having been gifted our pass happy offense.

Watch out, here comes that amazing depth of the Lakers. Freaking Harrell AND Matthews!? Just throw the towel in right now Clips. You can't overcome those two.

Funny how I thought Kawhi was having a solid game so far, yet he's missed every shot. Impacts a lot of different areas on the floor.

Wes Matthews getting used and abused. I really wasn't crazy about the Lakers offseason, they lost a lot of length inside. Gasol is slow and Harrell isnt a defender.

Kawhi and Serge to Miami next year. Package deal. Mmmph.

Was surprised when I went to the GB and all the talk was about how much better they'd be this year. Well, shouldn't be surprised by hot takes on the GB anymore, but it was outlandish to me that their offseason was being touted so highly. They talked about them getting younger by adding Gasol and Matthews. Bizarro world.

Can't lie, that 5,000 players to play the game stat surprised me-- although it shouldn't

I wouldn't say as much after 1 game, much less 1 quarter-- Gasol and Harrell we're pretty good pick-ups and better than the players they replaced. Shroeder better than Rondo, tho Rondo's a much better leader

I'm surprised Reggie Jackson has lasted so long in this league, seems like he is always taking low IQ shots

Man, both these games have been abysmal basketball. Some of the worst I’ve seen in recent memory. Could be a pretty woy szn chaps.

Not knee jerking here. This will be my overarching opinion throughout the year of their depth. Not impressed. Am not. Will not.

You're right, I was reaching, reading contextual tea leaves. Tbf, they're technically younger, just not young

O k Kiwi

LAC gone cold as the north wind. Just feeding the Lakers possessions.

Post #436 » by **DayofMourning** » Wed Dec 23, 2020 4:10 am

Was just checking, Lebron could reach 10K rebounds and 10K assists this year.

Post #437 » by **DayofMourning** » Wed Dec 23, 2020 4:15 am

Ready for some Heat bball. These stagnant possessions are tough to watch.

I used to think Kiwi leaving if they lost was improbable, but idk. What a lunatic he would be tho: leave a Championship team, just to leave his desired team in 2 yrs?

Maybe he thought his Raps chip was a fluke and just wants to keep stacking chips

They’ve just loaded up on Luke Kennard and Paul George. I guess they have his boy Serge under contract (or player option) for 21-22, but it would be a big about face to leave after 2 years. Have seen weirded chit go down tho.
