August 21, 20205 yr I fucking hate quoting Nick Wright, but: "Portland has played 42 quarters in the bubble. In 5 quarters played since the opening quarter of the series, the Lakers have held POR to their... Lowest scoring quarter 2nd lowest scoring quarter 3rd lowest scoring quarter 4th lowest scoring quarter 7th lowest scoring quarter." If the Lakers can find even something resembling a consistent offense, this series may turn extremely quickly. Edited August 21, 20205 yr by aggie08

August 21, 20205 yr Why the fuck are they letting Whiteside shoot this much? Absolute trainwreck on that end of the floor.
August 21, 20205 yr 9 hours ago, Mitch Cumsteen said: They draft/traded Mikal Bridges (a Philly native btw who is starting for Phoenix and played pretty damn well in the bubble) to get Zaire Smith who has 13 career NBA games under his belt in two years plus a 2021 draft pick that they will probably fuck up also.... And let's not forget money whipping Al Horford, who they will be paying $26.5 million for when he's 36. Just an unprecedented run of terrible personnel moves and I'm sure I'm missing a bunch of them. Regarding Mikal Bridges; his mom works in the Sixers front office. Yeah, it's a business, but still. And Phoenix won that trade. As for Al and what they will be paying him in the future; r/NBA puts it all into perspective.
August 21, 20205 yr On 8/18/2020 at 9:05 PM, HtownHorn said: Lakers played exceptional defense tonight, but couldn't score 101 points on one of the worst defensive teams in the NBA, and that's with the 3 available bigs for Portland all picking up 5 fouls. They are in trouble. Perhaps reports of their demise were a bit premature?
August 21, 20205 yr 1 hour ago, ztejas said: Lakers need to be up more than 8 after that quarter... How’s up 31 after 3.5 quarters?
August 21, 20205 yr 9 minutes ago, Sbbruin said: How’s up 31 after 3.5 quarters? I didn't think the Blazers had 3 more of them in them.
August 21, 20205 yr 1 hour ago, Sbbruin said: Perhaps reports of their demise were a bit premature? Yeah, they looked great tonight. Their defense is going to have to carry them, because their offense is still bad. That was the 1st time they looked like the regular season version of themselves in the bubble. Great win.
August 21, 20205 yr 1 hour ago, Sbbruin said: Perhaps reports of their demise were a bit premature? Lakers were the best team in the West pre-Covid. If they found that Mojo again, . . . the rest will need to play their best repeatedly to hang with the Lakers. It will be "USC is the greatest of all armies" again on ESPN - i have no doubt. I just want to see good basketball on these neutral courts. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to watch basketball's finest compete.
August 21, 20205 yr George Karl off the top rope. I love that. I heard he said that and I went to go check the source. Straight from George Karl’s twitter lol.

Karma I guess.
August 21, 20205 yr I dont really like Mark Jackson that much either but I'm not even understanding why Karl felt so called out. And Karl really aint the person to be talking.
August 21, 20205 yr I can't stand listening to Mark Jackson call a game, but George Karl is an asshole. He was an asshole when I was 8 years old at Spurs camp at Antonian High School and he's still an asshole.

August 21, 20205 yr Karl may not have thought this one through attacking a, yes, terrible coach, but a well-respected player and mentor. He was an asshole even when he had cancer.
August 21, 20205 yr 46 minutes ago, aggie08 said: but a well-respected player and mentor. Mark Jackson is a bigger piece of shit than Karl. He's an immature, self-zealous, adultering crybaby that has never gotten over getting canned by the Warriors. He uses his status and religious leadership to inflate his self-worth because he never won anything in his career and it keeps him up at night.

August 21, 20205 yr Its not even halftime and they're talking about Gordon Hayward and Jimmy Butler. Now the Philly FO is the subject matter. Now it's Miami's 3 point shooting. This is fucking amazing. I'm dead. Edited August 21, 20205 yr by ztejas
August 21, 20205 yr Time Waster; https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/list/nba-draft-misses-bad-picks-stephen-curry-michael-jordan-kevin-garnett/17ovg6e1dtluh1xa3j2onh98q6 Houston Rockets, 1983 The pick: Rodney McCray (No. 3)|The miss: Clyde Drexler (No. 14) This one is mostly for sentimental reasons. Drexler was the local star, coming out of the University of Houston, and wound up the best player in his draft class despite falling to the middle of the first round. Also, he wasn't so good as a rookie that he would have interfered with the Rockets landing his former college teammateHakeem Olajuwon the next year. An Olajuwon-Drexler combination for their full primes instead of their late-career reunion almost certainly would have produced more than one championship.

Don't forget those cringe-worthy catchphrases he was constantly trying to coin. Fuck that guy.
August 21, 20205 yr Old ass George Karl getting butt hurt about some commentator making a statement and throwing a bitch fit. What a chump.
August 21, 20205 yr Was a dubs fan when Karl got his chance. Dudes a genius. Dudes an asshole- dude went in dry on Mark Jackson. I’m amused.
August 22, 20205 yr Why does Chris Webber have a job commentating? How hard is it to hire competent side men? Edited August 22, 20205 yr by Kermit
August 22, 20205 yr Why does Chris Webber have a job commentating? How hard is it to hire competent side men? Apparently pretty hard. None of them are worth a damn. PG13 may be over rated.
August 22, 20205 yr I don't care about announcers at all. Never have. Van Gundy, Jackson, Reggie, Mowins, Herbstreit...fine by me. But I've been on the fuck Chris Webber train for years. He detracts from the game so damn much. Booger McFarland went to the same broadcasting school, but at least ESPN fired his ass quick.
