I really hope the Lakers don't figure it out. It warms my heart to see them so dysfunctional while having no decent tradable assets.

With McCollum finally traded by the Blazers, "Dame to the Lakers" is trending on Twitter. Yeah, Portland's really gonna pounce on that THT + Nunn package, Lakers fans :roll:

I hate to generalize, but things like these just prove how majority of Lakers fans are dumb as rocks. Makes sense since they have such a large fanbase that it's bound to attract a lot of casuals :lol:

Giannis just devoured a full-strength Lakers team with 44-14-8 on 17/20 shooting. I remember hearing some podcasts at the start of the season saying AD could be the favorite to win DPOY. Well, his reputation is taking a massive hit now with how crap the Lakers defense is :lol:

No, among current players that award goes to Gordon Hayward, who is out indefinitely (again) with a sprained ankle. But the all time award goes to Pervis "out of service" Ellison.

Imagine you're the Nets and getting creamed last night and your all star point guard is just sitting at home chilling.

Gonna be annoying when Sixers fumble their entire Embiid and Simmons era and yet still manage to salvage it by getting James Freakin’ Harden.

Always a good day when the Lakers and/or LeBron loses.

I thought Anfernee Simons was the next Roddy Beaubois, this young player that a team made untouchable, but who never actually played or became anything. But he has looked really good this year, especially after Lillard got injured. If I was the Blazers I would be shipping Lillard off for the biggest package I could get and reset my franchise.

With a gun to my head, I couldn’t tell you which one I hate more.

Nothing to do with history, rivalries, etc. The assembly of these aging vet max (+ vet min has been types) super teams and the media/casuals rubber stamping their way to the finals is insanity and I love to see them fail.

If both fail in the same year? ooooweeeeee

NBA is loaded with talent. You just hope you can keep your franchise player on your team for more than 5 minutes lol.

Kyrie can play defense, at least in practice. Who knew?
