Around The NBA : 21-22 Edition

[Hangtime84]

OPJ was amazing pick up by the warriors.

I’m a little jealous and disappointed it never worked here

Ok surely the Lakers can be useful for once...

[Dresden]

Warriors are actually a class above the Suns, IMO. They were missing Poole, Iggy, and a few other rotation players, not to mention Klay Thompson, and they still won by 9 points on the road against a pretty much healthy Suns team.

Warriors guarded Ayton with a 6'9" player and he only got 18 points and 7 boards. If that was Hakeem or Ewing, they would have gone for 35. Kareem would have fouled both of them out and got 40.

And Booker was just 5-19. He seems a bit streaky like that, which might be a problem in the playoffs, since they rely on him to be their top scorer.

I'd like to see Bulls v Suns in a playoff. They'd probably win, but I think we'd be competitive, and take it 6 or 7 games. The Warriors, on the other hand....

[Dresden]

Funny seeing the Celtics blow a 15 point lead at the half. Something about that team just doesn't add up. They may have to make some changes in the offseason. They've seen a lot of talent leave the past couple of years and it's finally catching up with them.

[Dresden]

Nice to see Bobby Portis have a really good game on the big stage. 16/10/4 in 22 minutes. He's in a nice role there in MIL.

Warriors have the kind of team that can get the most out of veteran players. Look at guys like David West, Shaun Livingston, Igoudala, a few others. Kerr is a brilliant coach.

Hopefully

This is I think the first Christmas in about a decade I haven’t watched a single game. They really should not decide the schedule based on last season records/story lines. Merry Xmas, bulls fans!

Their 2 top shot takers, Tatum & Schroder, score on worse efficiency than last year's Coby White. A guy who is debated if he can even make the rotation on this team. It's going to be an uphill battle when guys who shoot 41% FG / 32% 3P are taking all your shots.

Agreed I don’t think anybody can actually take the healthy Warriors this year, potentially the next few.

[FriedRise]

These Lakers are so bad lmao. Their schedule is about to get a lot tougher too, so they might very well miss the play-in unless they can bamboozle a team like by trading Russ and a 2nd for Zach, Ball, DDR, and a couple future unprotected 1sts.

Also annoying that we can’t get any help from these LA bums or the Celtics today smh.

[ImSlower]

This Lakers showing is pathetic. They're playing against Harden, Paddy Mills and some guys.

Westbrook is a total disaster. I don't give a rats ass about his triple double. He has ruined so many plays. LeBron looks like he might pull out his phone to check his Insta any time now.

I really dislike that team, but this is like actually making me mad at them. Lakers fans don't deserve this (well many of them).

[Chicago-Bull-E]

I guess it helps the Bulls, but no way I can root for a Lebron James and Russell Westbrook team. Seeing them get smashed by Patty Mills gives me great joy.

[ImSlower]

Also I snicker half the time I see Griffin and wonder if anyone's ever called him B'laké like the Key & Peele skit. If he were actually able to jump and block it would be a hilarious nickname.

[kdapiton]

COme on Lakers you ****

[kdapiton]

I can honestly say I detest Harden more than Lebron now just by virtue of him being in the Eastern conference.

[kdapiton]

Melo you dumb ass you have the momentum

[Clocian]

Holy crap what a come back. Lakers better pull this off. Nets cant keep getting away with these wins.
