    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:10 PM - Cookie: Not the best half but preseason, so whatever
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:10 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Sad really poor Ronnie. Sneaker and suits, no.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:11 PM - karacha: maybe we can come back in the second half.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:11 PM - The Showtime Mamba: A shame the game seems lost. But let's win the third and fourth quarter and see what happens.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:12 PM - karacha: seriously now, i am 99% sure we'll look different when the season starts
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:12 PM - karacha: i mean, no way this happens with bron and brodie there
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:12 PM - karacha: running 3-4 plays for reeves isn't going to happen. i am glad kid got this opportunity, but come on
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:13 PM - karacha: THT needs to be better though
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:13 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Not worried at all, but never a good idea to accept loising. AD not a vocal leader. When he leads it is by shouldering the load and putting the team on his back.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:14 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Even with pressure I didn't like THT missing that lineup. Suns looks quite good carrying that momentum onwards.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:15 PM - ElginTheGreat: I liked what I saw from Monk.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:15 PM - ElginTheGreat: AD is in cruise control but still put up solid numbers.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:16 PM - ElginTheGreat: Team is figuring each other out on the floor and the Suns are picking up where they left off. I’m not concerned about the score though.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:17 PM - Khmrp: def looks like crap, should be concerned there
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:17 PM - Ceteris21: What are people's ideal starting 5?
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:18 PM - karacha: AD isn't going to be a problem, he's putting up great numbers with half effort. Monk is really good, better than expected. so nice to see. melo still has some game left
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:18 PM - karacha: Russ/Monk/Baze or Ariza/Bron/AD
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:20 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I like K's picks. Monk's shooting helps us. I go Ariza over Bazemore but think that will be a fluid spot. Baze will push for the opening spot, let him earn it.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:22 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Ariza can't play the 2
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:22 PM - Ceteris21: Hopefully we do less standing around in offense this year
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:23 PM - LaVarBallsDad: If LBJ can play more 4, that would be good
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:23 PM - The Showtime Mamba: for sure Ariza is the 3.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:23 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Yes, and I think he can play 4, too
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:23 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Small ball
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:23 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I think that is a good call Lvb.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:26 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Nice triple team.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:27 PM - LaVarBallsDad: During various matchup
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:27 PM - LaVarBallsDad: At Chick Filet. Missing second half. :(
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:27 PM - LaVarBallsDad: I'll be back home in 10
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:28 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Love watching games. Takes my mind off of life.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:28 PM - Cookie: Lakers are more important than Chick-fil-A lol
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:28 PM - karacha: 3llington
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:29 PM - karacha: "fresh snow"
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:30 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Not when I'm hungry
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:30 PM - Cookie: I love Chick-fil-A. So I don’t blame you

    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:30 PM - Cookie: Are we going to guard anyone?
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:31 PM - karacha: i have to admit i can't understand why people love chick fill-A
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:31 PM - karacha: i tried different sandwiches and.... i just can't.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:31 PM - Cookie: Really, what don’t you like?
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:31 PM - karacha: i guess i just don't like chicken. except sometimes, when i grill it.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:32 PM - karacha: it just tastes like cardboard to me
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:32 PM - karacha: and i don't like fried food in general
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:32 PM - Cookie: Well yea if you don’t like chicken, it’s not the place. I don’t like the grilled chicken. Just fried chicken
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:33 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Never had chick fil-a Would be interested in opinions on it.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:33 PM - Cookie: Down 24 yikes.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:33 PM - karacha: see.... i only like grilled meat, baked sometimes. definitely nothing fried
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:34 PM - Khmrp: effort/energy is wack. even if its preseason
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:34 PM - Cookie: I don’t eat a lot of fried food but that’s because it’s greasy. I don’t think the fried chicken sandwich is greasy though
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:34 PM - karacha: in any case, for me steak or burger or fish > chicken.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:35 PM - abeer3: considered watching this. glad i didn't
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:35 PM - karacha: i don't think we're winning any quester today
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:35 PM - karacha: most of 1st quarter was very good though
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:35 PM - Cookie: It’s not a good game to see abeer3
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:35 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I am sure I would like it ok. Like subway though, sometimes it could be a bit one note perhaps?
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:35 PM - Cookie: Yes the first quarter was competitive
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:36 PM - abeer3: i know vogel has said not to bother with the first four games, but you'd hope for not getting your a** kicked by anyone who's on the other side
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:36 PM - Cookie: I don’t like Subway.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:36 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Lebron asking the refs to check his stats for this game. He says he hasn't missed a game.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:36 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I like subway but I dislike they took away their ice creams/gelato's over here.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:37 PM - Cookie: I don’t think they have ice creams here But I haven’t been in one in years
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:37 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Blazemore.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:38 PM - Cookie: AD really needs to hit those open 3’s this year.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:39 PM - karacha: nunn has solid court vision
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:39 PM - karacha: plays under control
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:41 PM - The Showtime Mamba: We had a convenience store here robbed of $400 of ice cream. A very singular crime.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:42 PM - Cookie: Maybe they are going to start their own ice cream truck.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:43 PM - The Showtime Mamba: If they didn't get home fast it would be a waste and a terror for the lady that was robbed.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:43 PM - LaVarBallsDad: I miss Caruso
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:43 PM - Cookie: I do too.

    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:44 PM - Cookie: He would have taken 2 or 3 charges already
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:44 PM - ElginTheGreat: Yeah. I wish we’d kept Caruso
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:44 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Caruso and the Bulls put on a show against the woeful Cavs. We miss you Eagle.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:45 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Bazemore will give us some boneheaded plays this year. Give and take.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:45 PM - LaVarBallsDad: If Frank coaches this team to a top 5 defense, he's a miracle worker
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:46 PM - Cookie: We will look a lot better when we’re playing everyone
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:46 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Easier to make players play good D, then make defensive players play good O though. Or something like that.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:46 PM - ElginTheGreat: Monk is legit.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:47 PM - The Showtime Mamba: 2 legit to quit, so unlike Kevin Like and similar too MC Hammer.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:47 PM - Cookie: Phx is break 109 by the 3rd and we won’t be the end of the game.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:47 PM - karacha: THT working on that 3pt shot
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:48 PM - ElginTheGreat: Vogel has his work cut out for him on defense
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:48 PM - OX1947: Javelle is Jokic now?
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:48 PM - Cookie: 100
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:48 PM - karacha: javale with the best play of his life
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:48 PM - The Showtime Mamba: That alley oop play is been done against us about 15 times this game.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:49 PM - ElginTheGreat: Tht working on his shot. Lol
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:50 PM - Cookie: Too much iso.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:50 PM - Khmrp: looks like gleague squad
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:50 PM - The Showtime Mamba: McGee for all his Shaqtin wouldn't be in the top 50 dumbest players of all time, but the Dumbkopf would be.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:51 PM - Cookie: It’ll be interesting to see what happens with Dennis down the line. What kind of salary offers he has next year
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:51 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Cam Johnson should not be left open like that.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:51 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Safe to say he will never be a Laker again.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:51 PM - karacha: we'll lose by 30+
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:51 PM - Cookie: I sure hope not.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:52 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Can you imagine the reception Ben Simmons will get when he returns to Philli. I am thinking that he will not be a 76er again, after he lost trust for the process.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:54 PM - OX1947: Ben Simmons has shown signs in college that he was the quentinssntial doucher
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:54 PM - Cookie: Philly will eat him alive.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:54 PM - OX1947: supposed best player in the country who couldnt lead his team into the tournament
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:54 PM - OX1947: he cares about videoing himself and being famous than winning titles
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:55 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I suspect he will be a dnp (are you crazy i'm not playing in front of those a*******) whenever he is scheduled to play there.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:56 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I could see him getting pelted with Philli cheese steaks.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:57 PM - OX1947: i saw Magic make a pass on his behind in highlights once
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:57 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Slick pass THT.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:57 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I remember that one Ox.

    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:57 PM - The Showtime Mamba: He threw it super hard while on the ground.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 4:58 PM - OX1947: so, who do you pick in Vegas.....Katy Perry.....Carrie Underwood or Celine Dion?
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:00 PM - The Showtime Mamba: To go see neither. Celine I really don't like her singing. Katy Perry at a stretch but would rather see her do acoustic than a big Vegas show. Carrie Underwood I don't know well (American Idol), but she might be the "dark horse" pun intended.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:00 PM - abeer3: again, not watching the game, but the box score looks like phx basically played its guys for 3 quarters while we sat lebron and russ, so the beating is expected
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:00 PM - abeer3: and their team is basically exactly the same
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:00 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Katy Perry may have two of the most annoying songs of all time.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:01 PM - ElginTheGreat: Abeer - yeah. Basically.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:01 PM - Pioneer10: @abeer3 yeah we have a bunch of complementary players with not one to complement
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:01 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Does Vegas have an Elvis impersonator show (or dozens of them). That would be better than those 3 shows.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:01 PM - Pioneer10: man if Monk can play passable defense, he's going to put up big numbers
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:01 PM - abeer3: just don't think you can read anything at all into these games
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:01 PM - ElginTheGreat: Doubt we will see many of these line ups again unless things go horribly wrong.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:01 PM - Cookie: None of the above Ox.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:02 PM - abeer3: been an issue for monk, though, right?
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:02 PM - OX1947: yah, i agree
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:02 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Ox you aren't scalping tickets are you?
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:02 PM - LaVarBallsDad: There are issues, but of course Russ and LBJ change the calculus by a lot
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:02 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Defensively, we will be worse.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:03 PM - abeer3: well, that and playing together some. people underestimate continuity
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:03 PM - OX1947: i had to go to a carrie underwood concert once, i hate country music. When i say hate, I mean, HATE. But i didnt want to be that guy who wasnt part of the team. Luckly her concerts are short and bland so i just imagined i was tony romo when he was with her
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:03 PM - Cookie: We won’t know how good we look like till everyone plays.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:03 PM - abeer3: eagle and kcp are gone, and they were a bigger part of our d than people want to admit
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:03 PM - OX1947: there is no bigger gap in sports when it comes to talent more than in basketball and soccer
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:04 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Health willing, we still come out the west. Just may look different than the title year
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:04 PM - karacha: I am not sure I want to watch these lineups. Not even sure what the point of the preseason is at this point
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:04 PM - OX1947: its crazy. everyone playing right now is ridicoulously talented in basketball, but when you throw in the durants, lebrons and AD's, they turn into kindergarden talent compared to them
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:04 PM - LaVarBallsDad: And that's ok
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:04 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Country is like another country to me but I am warming to it. George Strait is not bad.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:04 PM - abeer3: @karacha: yeah, preseason seems pretty pointless to me
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:05 PM - abeer3: i like that every time chaundee brown gets in a game, he's ready to murder everything
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:05 PM - Cookie: I can do more contemporary country. Not the twangy kind.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:05 PM - The Showtime Mamba: These games are the equivalent of Poppovich's sideline interviews. Perfunctory.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:05 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I don't like dumplings.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:05 PM - LaVarBallsDad: I like Reaves
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:06 PM - abeer3: feel like that guy is going to have an nba career, if only as a journeyman

    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:06 PM - OX1947: these banana yellow jerseys need to go. Where the hell are the gold jerseys!!?
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:06 PM - karacha: in the past
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:06 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Banana is cheaper than gold, and it is a subtle reference to the banana boat. No I don't like them at all.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:07 PM - The Showtime Mamba: No more crappy blue jerseys this year. They were pushing them on us last year hoping for sales of another jersey.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:07 PM - OX1947: so Malik Monk wants to start
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:07 PM - OX1947: hes the only one whos shown up in the first two preseason games
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:08 PM - Cookie: Monk will be good for us.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:08 PM - LaVarBallsDad: I wouldn't mind starting Monk
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:08 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Monk has earned a start so far.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:09 PM - karacha: yes
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:09 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Otherwise he could be a Jamal Crawford or dare I say a Schroeder level spark for our bench lol.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:09 PM - ElginTheGreat: I think he ends up starting
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:09 PM - LaVarBallsDad: How did Base do the first game?
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:10 PM - LaVarBallsDad: I didn't really see him do much today
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:10 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Monk don't play so he should play.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:10 PM - OX1947: As i got older, i realized wearing another man's jersey was kinda, i dont know, not manly
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:11 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Ox, I still like the idea of jerseys. But it is the ultimate in unearned status. I mean people are all shapes, but you see someone in a Kobe jersey with a mash potato body and you think the antithesis of Kobe.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:12 PM - OX1947: I like the idea of subtle, functional, clothing
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:13 PM - The Showtime Mamba: He was about hard work and the person may do literally no exercise (and I mean even a walk around the block). It is solidarity for your team but it can feel the idea of it being Halloween.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:13 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Yes functional. Like in the last Wonder Woman movie - Steve "Everybody is wearing parachute pants, do they all parachute"
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:14 PM - The Showtime Mamba: What are your feelings on Camouflage or military gear. A little too GI Joe for you if you aren't a soldier?
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:15 PM - OX1947: if its subtle, it can work
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:15 PM - OX1947: i have camo shorts
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:16 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Subtle is key as Westbrook says.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:16 PM - Cookie: On to the next game. Are the big guns going to playing in game 4?
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:16 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I hope so Cookie.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:17 PM - Cookie: Me too. This product on the floor leaves a lot to be desired
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:17 PM - The Showtime Mamba: The purple and yellow, is as awful as it sounds.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:18 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Nets couldn't be doing Simmons for Irving could they?????
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:19 PM - OX1947: if they are smart, they would
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:19 PM - Cookie: I would if I were Brooklyn
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:20 PM - Cookie: Depends on if they could do it without pissing off Kevin
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:20 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Brooklyn should just shoot Irving with a blow dart a couple of times.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:20 PM - The Showtime Mamba: EVERYTHING pisses off Kevin.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:21 PM - The Showtime Mamba: He should be Kevin Pissant, not Durant.

    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:21 PM - OX1947: kevin Durant is a t**t
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:24 PM - The Showtime Mamba: *****.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:24 PM - The Showtime Mamba: *****
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:24 PM - The Showtime Mamba: twit
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:25 PM - OX1947: whats durant going to do this year? Quit on the team?
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:25 PM - OX1947: at some point if you are an owner, if your player is a distraction, figure out another way
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:26 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I have never met many Durant fans. It is interesting who fans go for. Nobody liked Tim Duncan unless they were a Spurs fan or a PF. Everybody respected him though.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:27 PM - OX1947: no one disliked Duncan
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:27 PM - OX1947: boring but never disliked
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:28 PM - OX1947: Durant has been disliked since his attitude changed when he went to GS
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:32 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Yes I spoke inaccurately, I meant people didn't give him that Jordan, Kobe, Iverson adoration that the players with flash got.
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:33 PM - OX1947: gyes
    Oct 6, 2021 at 5:33 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I have a lot of time for Duncan, and he certainly was a worthy enemy for a lot of players. Joey Crawford probably did not like him lol.

    Oct 8, 2021 7:16 PM - Barnstable: These commentators on NBA TV know nothing about the Lakers. So bad
    Oct 8, 2021 7:17 PM - Cookie: I’m always surprised at how some of these commentators have jobs.
    Oct 8, 2021 7:17 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I'm not saying my stream is lagging, but Derek Fisher just checked into the game for the Lakers.
    Oct 8, 2021 7:18 PM - Juronimo: This game is sloppier than a herd of fat men at a barbecue ribs eating contest
    Oct 8, 2021 7:18 PM - Cookie: Lol. We can watch the game together. I think mines behind too.
    Oct 8, 2021 7:19 PM - RasAlgethi: classic russ mid range jumper
    Oct 8, 2021 7:20 PM - RasAlgethi: also if this was not the preseason I expect monk to dive for those lose balls
    Oct 8, 2021 7:20 PM - Barnstable: The commentators said the Lakers don’t have shooters and suggested our defense is great once set… someone should tell them we only have 3 players back from last season
    Oct 8, 2021 7:22 PM - Cookie: Yes it’s going to take some time for us to get to know each other’s tendencies.
    Oct 8, 2021 7:22 PM - CarolinaLakerFan: Monk is gonna start. He knows how to play without the basketball
    Oct 8, 2021 7:22 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I agree about the bad commentators, I figure nepotism is real and people who know nothing about basketball hire them. Why make your product good or even competent right?
    Oct 8, 2021 7:22 PM - Juronimo: Golden State players are shooting like me
    Oct 8, 2021 7:23 PM - The Showtime Mamba: DeAndre still moves fast from rim to rim, not sure about springing up and lateral movement though.
    Oct 8, 2021 7:23 PM - Cookie: Both teams building brick houses.
    Oct 8, 2021 7:24 PM - Juronimo: Godness this us so bad
    Oct 8, 2021 7:24 PM - karacha: nice shooting today
    Oct 8, 2021 7:24 PM - Cookie: Lol
    Oct 8, 2021 7:24 PM - Cookie: 2/13 and 1/9.
    Oct 8, 2021 7:24 PM - Juronimo: This game has 3 former MVPs but they're playing rec league level
    Oct 8, 2021 7:24 PM - karacha: ouch
    Oct 8, 2021 7:26 PM - Juronimo: Geez smh
    Oct 8, 2021 7:26 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Looking forward to Tyson/Wilder tomorrow. My prediction Wilder will feel the Fury of Tyson.
    Oct 8, 2021 7:26 PM - Cookie: This is worse than LA fitness games.
    Oct 8, 2021 7:27 PM - Barnstable: Lol Cookie

    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:27 PM - RasAlgethi: russ 2 straight turnovers
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:27 PM - CarolinaLakerFan: Going with the American. I got Wilderby KO in the 5th
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:27 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Good foul.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:27 PM - Cookie: Iggy is afraid of Dwight.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:28 PM - svtzr: yo yo yo!
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:29 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Not sure if I will bet yet. Tyson looks in worse shape and is talking a lot of smack, I just think he has it on Wilder. Wilder made MANY excuses for losing last time. Psychologically fraught but what talks him into the ring against the guy who TKO'D him.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:29 PM - Cookie: You haven’t missed anything svtzr.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:29 PM - Juronimo: You've missed a basketball tragedy
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:29 PM - svtzr: I just jumped on and saw a TO and a foul
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:29 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Cool svtzr is here you can start making shots now teams.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:29 PM - Cookie: There’s more headbands in the game than points
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:30 PM - svtzr: I just wondered why I came to watch a preseason game :D
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:30 PM - Juronimo: Westbrook with more turnovers than s*** attempts
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:31 PM - svtzr: Wow 2/16 as a team - the rust is real
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:31 PM - Cookie: Because you need to see Westbrook’s first points as a Laker. You will be waiting a while
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:31 PM - Juronimo: Shot attempts ooop another turnover
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:32 PM - Khmrp: westbrick era cometh
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:32 PM - RasAlgethi: westbrook turnvoers
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:32 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Sigh good game for rebounding stats.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:32 PM - Cookie: We will definitely lead the league in turnovers this year between Bron and Wes
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:32 PM - svtzr: Westbrook is playing the point like me right now
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:33 PM - Juronimo: Our centers are hitting free throws
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:33 PM - Khmrp: russ gona avg quadruple double this yr lol
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:33 PM - Cookie: It’s bizarro world
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:33 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I like how Monks handle generates looks and pressure like with Dwight just then.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:33 PM - Khmrp: 10 TO a gm
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:34 PM - Cookie: Dwight has beet fries on his head.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:34 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Anthony smooth as s***.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:35 PM - Cookie: Save us Melo.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:35 PM - Juronimo: Dawite howad rebound score
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:36 PM - svtzr: Our defence so far looks like it's coming along
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:36 PM - Juronimo: Melo quadruple team f it he'll shoot anyway
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:37 PM - Cookie: Might as well. Nobody else is hitting
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:37 PM - karacha: Russ with only 6 turnovers in 8 minutes. Good stuff.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:37 PM - karacha: could be worse.

    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:37 PM - karacha: can you get triple double with turnovers?
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:37 PM - The Showtime Mamba: LBJ fadeaway is nice.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:37 PM - Cookie: How??? Could have 8.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:37 PM - karacha: sorry, 7 turnovers now
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:37 PM - Juronimo: LeBron crab dribble not called yeah
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:38 PM - Khmrp: russ just atat padding
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:38 PM - karacha: n3nn
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:38 PM - Cookie: Shoot Melo, shoot.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:38 PM - svtzr: I like that 5, Nunn, Ellington, Melo, Lebron, Dwight
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:39 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Smart Lebron play with the seal and the pass out.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:40 PM - Cookie: Bad end to the quarter but no worse than the start.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:40 PM - svtzr: They poured in about 16 points in 3 or so minutes. That's a lot of firepower.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:41 PM - KareemtheGreat33: Good to see good Laker basketball aka LeBron is playing lol
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:41 PM - Cookie: That’s true.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:42 PM - svtzr: Isn't +/- such a crap stat. Westbrook is 0 but had 6 turnovers
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:42 PM - Juronimo: Golden State bricked 2 layups wow
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:42 PM - The Showtime Mamba: So Irving will be able to play for the Nets he just wont be able to have anybody be within 4 feet of him in the court.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:42 PM - Cookie: Yes it’s all depends on who else is playing with you. It’s very deceiving
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:43 PM - Cookie: Don’t want to get too close. You might fall off the flat earth when you get to the end.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:43 PM - Barnstable: Lots of mistakes because of lack of play time together and LeBron and Russ especially being super rusty
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:44 PM - svtzr: I know we're playing below average, but it's nice to see Melo and Lebron on the court together after all these years
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:44 PM - svtzr: Also you can see the beginnings of our defence coming together, we're missing a few rotations, but occasionally it locks in
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:44 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Like if any of us was on the Dream Team. We would have a massive plus minus even if they had to cover for us on D.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:44 PM - The Showtime Mamba: LBJ and Melo look good together.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:44 PM - Cookie: You get a turnover, you get a turnover. Everyone in the Audience gets turnovers
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:45 PM - Juronimo: Ha
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:46 PM - Khmrp: tuscano-curry
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:47 PM - Cookie: Should have been free throws
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:47 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I wonder if there is an ap that can make the Lakers jerseys look less piss yellow.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:47 PM - karacha: dwight had a drummond move there. rebound, miss 1 ft jumper.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:48 PM - Cookie: You could try to adjust the colors on your screen
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:48 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Dwight looks decent for us as he did last time here.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:48 PM - karacha: lakers, why you so bad
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:48 PM - Cookie: Dwight will be good. Not sure about DJ yet.

    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:49 PM - Cookie: Yep
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:49 PM - karacha: i think dj is fine too in limited minutes. will get easy dunks, get some reobunds.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:49 PM - KareemtheGreat33: TO machine is back
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:49 PM - karacha: and yeah, dwight will do great
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:50 PM - Khmrp: dont look foward to dj getting minutes
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:50 PM - karacha: russ can't do anything. if i was 15 years younger, i'd look about the same in the game
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:50 PM - Cookie: That was a good close out by DJ.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:51 PM - karacha: russ did get 4 rebounds, i'll give him that
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:51 PM - karacha: but 7 turnovers, jesus
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:52 PM - The Showtime Mamba: You were there mister.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:52 PM - The Showtime Mamba: bazemore
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:52 PM - Cookie: Someone make a shot guys
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:52 PM - Khmrp: russ passing lol
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:52 PM - Cookie: 27% shooting….Sizzling hot
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:52 PM - KareemtheGreat33: Russ TO TO TO
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:53 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Westbrook needs to be tested for performance inhibiting drugs.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:53 PM - Juronimo: Lol
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:53 PM - svtzr: DJ actually looks alright, curious to see how Vogel utilises him
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:53 PM - Cookie: Lol
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:53 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Can't pass a ball through the opposition it isn't nba 2k.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:53 PM - Khmrp: goes to show how a triple double machine like russ doesnt lead to much winning
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:53 PM - Juronimo: We wanted OKC Westbrook but right now we have Houston Westbrook
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:53 PM - svtzr: Can Russ get to 10 TO's before he scores his first lakers points?
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:53 PM - The Showtime Mamba: DJ will be ok, he just won't be as good as Howard. Good to have both.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:54 PM - KareemtheGreat33: we will see real WB in midseason like last season
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:54 PM - svtzr: @Khmrp - I wouldn't read too much into a preseason game, he is barely attacking and just throwing random passes around the court
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:54 PM - Cookie: Somebody needs to get Russ a layup But he would probably miss it
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:54 PM - Khmrp: regardless of pre season russ always been a high TO type
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:55 PM - karacha: i'd like to get 1 win in the preseason
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:55 PM - Juronimo: Blazemore 3
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:55 PM - karacha: baz3
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:55 PM - Cookie: I don’t care if we win any. Just go into the season healthy
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:56 PM - Cookie: 4 assists to 11 turnovers lol
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:56 PM - karacha: see, dj dunks it

    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:56 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Nice pass Russ.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:57 PM - svtzr: I wouldn't worry too much about his turnovers, he averaged almost 2.5 assists to turnovers last year
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:57 PM - karacha: as long as dj can finish lobs, he's useful
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:58 PM - Cookie: Our problem is both Russ and Bron are Very turnover prone and they will be handling the ball the most for this team
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:58 PM - The Showtime Mamba: DJ with the reverse dunk. Must be that HGH chewing gum he borrowed from LBJ.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:59 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Not concerned, just eager to see the team click. That is what pre-season is for I guess.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:59 PM - RasAlgethi: russ midrange jumpers are gonna drive us crazy
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:59 PM - Cookie: I think they will be better than his long 3’s.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 7:59 PM - karacha: he's supposed to be an ok shooter from midrange. i did not expect him to airball that
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:00 PM - Juronimo: LeBron is still good at basketball
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:00 PM - Cookie: I like Monk.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:00 PM - svtzr: This is going to be an interesting 5, Russ, Monk, Baze, Lebron, Howard (AD in normal season)
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:00 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Looked like RUss didn't really get his legs under the jumper like he usually does.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:00 PM - Juronimo: Blazemore 1 mo gen
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:01 PM - Khmrp: what was that bout def coming along? lol
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:01 PM - Juronimo: And he scoes finally
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:01 PM - Juronimo: Johnny Blaze another 3
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:02 PM - karacha: blaz3 with some good long range shoooting today. he will start
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:03 PM - Cookie: Nice pass by Russ.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:03 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Laker 3's are awesome. I like Bazemore already.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:03 PM - karacha: maybe we can win this game
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:03 PM - Cookie: I like Baze and Monk. Nunn too.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:04 PM - karacha: yeah, the guards are solid, and the shooting is better than last year
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:04 PM - KareemtheGreat33: I decided long ago circa 2018, LeBron is good at bball
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:05 PM - svtzr: We started shooting terrible this game, Baze was 0-4, Lebron 0-6, Westbrook 0-5, Melo 0-3, Ellington 0-2
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:05 PM - karacha: decent. only the top 3 goat.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:05 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Not too long till we get free from the stretched Deng. When he was with us we should have recorded DNP - Basketball reasons.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:06 PM - karacha: guys, hit something
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:07 PM - karacha: we get close, they hit 2 threes
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:07 PM - karacha: suddenly down by 10
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:07 PM - Juronimo: GS woke up we went to bed
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:08 PM - RasAlgethi: wtf melo
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:08 PM - KareemtheGreat33: Lol we suck
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:08 PM - Cookie: Not feeling it.

    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:08 PM - karacha: we take shots without regard for human life
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:08 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Melo has good form and keeps missing. Confusing.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:09 PM - Cookie: I could make a 3 before these guys.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:09 PM - karacha: probably
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:09 PM - Khmrp: this ain't defense
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:09 PM - Juronimo: Melo shoots with no conscience
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:09 PM - The Showtime Mamba: So does JR Smith, maybe Melo taught him.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:10 PM - karacha: whatever. let's see some mcclung and reeves in the 2nd half so we can lose by 20+
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:10 PM - ElginTheGreat: Missed too many open shots.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:10 PM - KareemtheGreat33: Another blowout coming
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:10 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I don't like the idea of blowouts. I'm not saying keep the starters in, just saying it is a crappy way to start.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:11 PM - Juronimo: Me neither Showtime
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:11 PM - Cookie: GSW have been together awhile. We haven’t.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:11 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Westbrook probably gets a triple double today lol.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:12 PM - Khmrp: gsw has alot of new guys too out there
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:12 PM - Khmrp: russ 1st quadruple double
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:12 PM - Cookie: They do but they have a lot of core guys.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:13 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Weird though that we have lots of nice additions, just not pulling it together as a team. I am still ten regulation season games from panicking. These games mean as much to our stars as a sock full of penny's would to them.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:13 PM - svtzr: I'm encouraged, we're getting a lot of open shots and we are missing some basic rotations
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:13 PM - svtzr: Both of these will be sorted out over the next month
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:14 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Everytime we hit a three I am like, awwwww this is a good sign.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:14 PM - svtzr: Sometimes you play badly, but you're playing the right way, other times you play well but you're playing the wrong way
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:14 PM - Cookie: I think the first part of the season will be rough but we will pick it up as the season goes along.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:14 PM - svtzr: We are the former and over time that'll show itself - I wouldn't really read much into preseason, most championship years we win 1 or 2 preseason games
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:15 PM - Khmrp: right way wrong way, a W is all that matters
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:15 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I agree svtzr, and to a lot of people winning solves all things (it can for team chemistry and media) but I think you have to take off the blinders and look at how you are really playing.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:15 PM - Juronimo: I want to be wrong about Westbrook. We'll see how this plays out. I like our Catholic guards, nice having guys that can shoot.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:15 PM - Cookie: You really care if we win this Khmrp? I’d like to but I don’t care
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:16 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Like if you blow a thirty point lead but get a buzzer beater.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:16 PM - Khmrp: well id hope gms would improve but its getting worse
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:16 PM - svtzr: To me, a championship is all that matters - not the regular season and definitely not the preseason
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:16 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I care a lot as "Faith no more" sung about it. The stakes are high this year. Don't want to be talking about gelling and getting things together like we did last year.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:17 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Wondering if we would have a Pope or a Dope playing for us.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:17 PM - svtzr: To win a championship, you're gonna have to play the right way, we're gonna have to be a good defensive team and we're going to have to be able to generate high quality shots
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:18 PM - The Showtime Mamba: All the little things are what leads to a championship. Of course the championship is the bottom line. But you don't get it by f***ing up the little things.

    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:18 PM - svtzr: At the end of the first, our backup unit poured in 16 points in about 3 mins by moving the ball and getting good quality shots each time down the court
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:19 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Like when Kobe yelled at D'Angelo Russell and Swaggy P for celebrating the win in Boston in a regular game. Well that and he was grumpy that day.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:19 PM - svtzr: To me that is encouraging because I know Lebron, AD and Russ are going to do what they do and our starters will most nights be too much for other teams
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:20 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I am optimistic, just impatient I guess after last year. I was shook by the Ariza injury but it looks like it won't be an issue.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:20 PM - svtzr: I'm also liking the rotations so far, Vogel has put some interesting 5 man units out and they all make logical sense, especially when AD is playing
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:21 PM - KareemtheGreat33: Remember in 2012 when we couldn’t win a pre season game, too? And started the season 0-5 and Mike Clown got fired
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:22 PM - Cookie: Brown
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:22 PM - Cookie: Brown getting fired was a great day
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:23 PM - Khmrp: clown or potatoe head sounds better lol
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:23 PM - svtzr: We started 1-4 and then went 4-1 with Bickerstaff (who said he didn't run any plays), but not sure what that point signifies? You don't like Vogel?
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:25 PM - The Showtime Mamba: The Kobe stare was what voided the coach Clown contract. I thought Bickerstaff was undefeated. Like Lavar Ball 1 v 1 , never lost.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:26 PM - The Showtime Mamba: He chilled us down and we won to spite f*** Mike Brown when he got the can.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:27 PM - Juronimo: Y did Dawite get a T
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:27 PM - Khmrp: potatoe head or scott or magic all time terrible hc hire?
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:27 PM - Juronimo: Damfony was the worst
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:27 PM - ElginTheGreat: I think Vogel will figure it out. We look like a bunch of guys who haven’t played together though. Guys Have to develop chemistry
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:27 PM - Juronimo: Followed by boron
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:27 PM - Cookie: Oh that’s a hard one. I’m going with Scott.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:27 PM - Khmrp: dan mike d got to playoffs
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:28 PM - ElginTheGreat: Thinking back to those days mskes me feel good about the current state of the franchise
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:28 PM - svtzr: Is anyone reading into THT not playing in the first half?
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:29 PM - Khmrp: id go tragic, short stint but nonetheless embarrassing
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:29 PM - Juronimo: Rondo to Dj alleyoop
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:29 PM - Cookie: No I think we are just looking at different line ups.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:29 PM - KareemtheGreat33: 13 to
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:30 PM - ElginTheGreat: Yeah. I think Vogeljust wants to get as many looks at different players and line ups as he can
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:30 PM - Cookie: GSW heating up. We are in the freezer with the ice cream.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:30 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Mike D'Anoni got us some fun basketball when we had not much going for us and stubborn Kobe caused the achilles. I say Mike Brown was our worst ever.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:30 PM - Khmrp: how can any 1 say they're playing "right way"? looks bad on both ends
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:31 PM - Cookie: Someone stay on Curry.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:31 PM - svtzr: I said that about the first half, we've swapped Lebron out for Rondo and THT
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:32 PM - Khmrp: how can u play right way n lose?
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:32 PM - KareemtheGreat33: THT is underwhelming so far
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:32 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Boron was bad. I won't bag on magic, but it was one of the few basketball things Magic can't do, well besides GM, commentate, and tweet.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:33 PM - KareemtheGreat33: Blowout incoming

    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:33 PM - Cookie: He’s good at throwing people under the bus too
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:33 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Rondo just runs a team so well. Controls pace, dictates rhythm, sets a tone.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:33 PM - svtzr: @Khmrp - It's simple, you have a system, and you stick to that system until it clicks. You start seeing little moments when it does, like defensive rotations or getting good open shots from plays. Maybe the other team still hits the shot on you or your open shots don't go down. But that's playing the right way and losing
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:34 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Magic and Byron did enough in Purple and Gold for me not to lay the boot into them, but yes Cookie Magic is problematic, but you should know that above all of us.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:34 PM - svtzr: Playing the wrong way is just hoisting up shots outside the system and getting hot, or not defending well and the other team missing shots. That catches up to you
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:34 PM - Khmrp: that logic like studying right way and still get F on the test
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:34 PM - Cookie: Lol
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:35 PM - Cookie: I agree with svtzr. Sometimes the shots don’t fall but they’re good shots then you should be taking
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:36 PM - Cookie: Them.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:36 PM - svtzr: No it's not - that's a silly example. If you studied the right way and failed, your aptitude isn't good enough for that subject. We are talking about professional NBA players here - they can play, so if we do things the right way we won't fail.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:36 PM - svtzr: And on top of that, we have multiple all stars on this team and some of the best players in the NBA
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:37 PM - Cookie: More turnovers
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:37 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Yes you can correct things that don't require luck or all the lights to go green. Good habits promote wins and are positive where luck and moments fade.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:37 PM - Khmrp: u do right things tends to mean u get good results not this
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:37 PM - KareemtheGreat33: THT missed that bunny he makes last year, too weak
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:38 PM - Cookie: Did you stink that we would be hitting on all cylinders Khmrp? We haven’t been together any time yet?
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:38 PM - Cookie: Think not stink.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:38 PM - svtzr: I think you need to get some perspective on the season, you're acting like its the playoffs and not preseason
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:38 PM - Khmrp: no i expect much better than this by gm by gm
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:39 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Like good form in basketball. If you have good form you don't need luck, if you create space you don't need to double or triple clutch and hero ball.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:39 PM - Cookie: Even though lots of different lineups are playing?
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:39 PM - The Showtime Mamba: THT missing a few shots at the rim IS weak.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:40 PM - Khmrp: given Vogel lineup abilities last yr?
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:40 PM - KareemtheGreat33: THT over dieted
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:40 PM - Cookie: No I’m talking this preseason
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:41 PM - KareemtheGreat33: Slimmed down too much, no meat on bones unlike before
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:41 PM - Khmrp: im saying vogel not setting into any particular lineup, u expect him to figure on a lineup this yr?
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:41 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Yes he needs to be thick.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:42 PM - Cookie: Of course he’ll figure out a lineup this year but it’s the preseason. Tinkering with things is what the preseason is all about
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:42 PM - KareemtheGreat33: By slimming down he became ordinary and could no longer bully people
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:42 PM - Khmrp: vogel program gona try to appease everyone minus the 14th guy
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:42 PM - Khmrp: probably
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:44 PM - Cookie: I’m just not concerned right now. Half way into the season, I’d be very concerned
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:44 PM - Khmrp: u guys dont think bad preseason won't carry into the regular season?
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:44 PM - Cookie: No

    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:45 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Dwight played for the foul but looney played for grabbing the ball that's why he got it.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:45 PM - KareemtheGreat33: 2012 no win preseason carried over the season
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:45 PM - Khmrp: we'll see then
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:45 PM - Cookie: Now I do think that the first part of the season is going to be rocky but I don’t think that’s just because we play bad in preseason
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:46 PM - Cookie: We are getting slaughtered though right now.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:46 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Khmrp, I am not worried, but potentially yes. I know this isn't regular season and it is not the playoffs but I prefer the ant to the grasshopper.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:46 PM - KareemtheGreat33: Poole making THT his fool
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:47 PM - Cookie: Austin in to save us lol
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:47 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Sets expectations and gives other teams confidence. Takes away an aura of being favorites.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:48 PM - KareemtheGreat33: Pretty THT pass
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:48 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Curry is relatively talented at shooting.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:48 PM - Cookie: We need a Curry.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:49 PM - KareemtheGreat33: THT has been mediocre at best this off-season unlike last year
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:50 PM - Cookie: What is Curry even doing playing right now.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:50 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Maybe Dell has a spare one.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:50 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Trying to get pre-season MVP and pre-season Hall of Fame.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:51 PM - Khmrp: some team take all parts of the season seriously
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:51 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I like the effort of our Hillbilly Kobe.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:51 PM - Cookie: I like Austin’s energy
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:52 PM - KareemtheGreat33: HBK is the preferred name, let’s not mention Mamba’s name in vain
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:52 PM - The Showtime Mamba: You cut corners you lose something. I like that Kobe mentality (and sure not many can live that way) but who wants to be like Booker and say don't double me in practice.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:52 PM - Cookie: Some teams burn out early too. We Are too old to go pedal to the metal all season
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:53 PM - Cookie: Make free throws guys
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:53 PM - Khmrp: gsw is not even going full throttle either, its our team that dont give an f
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:53 PM - Cookie: GS had Curry still playing. We don’t have Bron, Russ or AD still in.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:54 PM - The Showtime Mamba: You do what you gotta do, but I an happy to keep his name alive and mention it. If Goudelock could be a mini mamba (with Kobe approval) I think there is room for Hibilly Kobe. HBK is a nice acronym to save time though.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:54 PM - KareemtheGreat33: Dwight is so useful
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:54 PM - KareemtheGreat33: HBK3
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:55 PM - KareemtheGreat33: THT pretty pass
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:55 PM - RasAlgethi: Reaves hustles, I like that
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:55 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Dwight yesssssssssssssssss.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:56 PM - Cookie: I like Dwight
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:56 PM - The Showtime Mamba: It takes Reeves to make a Superman dunk!
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:56 PM - Cookie: We are switching a ton.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:57 PM - KareemtheGreat33: Our Summer League champion duo is looking good in Chitown

    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:57 PM - Cookie: I miss Bald Eagle
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:58 PM - The Showtime Mamba: We switch so much it is almost like we are daring them to rush a three by leaving them open and closing on them. Probably just slow rotations and GSW playing there natural game.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:58 PM - KareemtheGreat33: I’m sure we’ll miss him throughout the season
    Oct 8, 2021 at 8:59 PM - KareemtheGreat33: Dwight dominate midgets

    Oct 8, 2021 9:01 PM - The Showtime Mamba: who would pay ten dollars to see shaq ripping urinals off walls and jerry west calming him down?
    Oct 8, 2021 9:02 PM - Khmrp: reeves has Hayward potential, maybe lil less talented ver
    Oct 8, 2021 9:03 PM - Cookie: We should extend Austin now.
    Oct 8, 2021 9:03 PM - Cookie: We are making a run.
    Oct 8, 2021 9:04 PM - Juronimo: Dawite keeping us in the game
    Oct 8, 2021 9:04 PM - KareemtheGreat33: Domination

    Oct 8, 2021 9:07 PM - Cookie: Reaves is a smart player.
    Oct 8, 2021 9:07 PM - RasAlgethi: reaves,nunn,howard, got us back in the game
    Oct 8, 2021 9:08 PM - Cookie: DJ is in.
    Oct 8, 2021 9:08 PM - KareemtheGreat33: THT bunny miss again
    Oct 8, 2021 9:09 PM - Cookie: Nice Do
    Oct 8, 2021 9:10 PM - KareemtheGreat33: There’s the THT we know
    Oct 8, 2021 9:11 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Reaves will be our next Eagle, just in the sense he provides a lot despite low expectations and with a good nickname. Not comparing them as players but how they will be picked up.
    Oct 8, 2021 9:11 PM - Khmrp: moody guy on gsw looks like iggy
    Oct 8, 2021 9:11 PM - KareemtheGreat33: I like the effort late here, we need to have an end game burst to compete
    Oct 8, 2021 9:12 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I don't miss Kuzma, and generally I liked him, just never took to him on a personal level and he promised much and gave little in the end.
    Oct 8, 2021 9:12 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I am happy with the game and how we have came back despite what happens in the next 6 minutes.
    Oct 8, 2021 9:13 PM - Khmrp: agreed showtime
    Oct 8, 2021 9:13 PM - KareemtheGreat33: Yep showtime
    Oct 8, 2021 9:13 PM - Khmrp: effort is all u can ask for, not what they were giving earlier
    Oct 8, 2021 9:14 PM - KareemtheGreat33: THT monster
    Oct 8, 2021 9:14 PM - RasAlgethi: tht
    Oct 8, 2021 9:15 PM - KareemtheGreat33: LOL no blowout today baby
    Oct 8, 2021 9:15 PM - RasAlgethi: Reaves seems deceptively fast, ppl dont expect it
    Oct 8, 2021 9:16 PM - Khmrp: hbk just plays with high lvl iq
    Oct 8, 2021 9:16 PM - Khmrp: see it since summer league
    Oct 8, 2021 9:16 PM - Cookie: Yes definitely a good BBIQ.
    Oct 8, 2021 9:16 PM - The Showtime Mamba: That Reaves as Gordon Haywood light is not far fetched. It would be ..................mana from heaven.
    Oct 8, 2021 9:17 PM - The Showtime Mamba: pizza from paradise.

    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:21 PM - OX1947: Garbage

    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:22 PM - Pioneer10: THT was good today no?
    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:22 PM - KareemtheGreat33: Dwight’s miss dunk was the game
    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:22 PM - RasAlgethi: tht has been good today, especially 2nd haf
    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:23 PM - KareemtheGreat33: Yup THT was great
    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:23 PM - OX1947: I don't know, I just got here. Wasted 3 hours watching the Dodgers chase non strike pitches all game long
    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:23 PM - Cookie: He’s 4/9 with some free throws. I think he did well. Had some nice passes and had some brain farts too
    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:23 PM - Pioneer10: the carmelo minutes look real bad on the boxscore but wasn't watching when he was in
    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:24 PM - RasAlgethi: First game I watched this season, Reaves has impressed me since I wasn't expecting anything from him
    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:24 PM - OX1947: Come on Threeeaves
    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:24 PM - OX1947: You need to make that hillbilly jim

    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:26 PM - OX1947: He likes to Dennis Rodman s*** up. But not as physical

    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:27 PM - OX1947: Yikes
    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:27 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Yes I can see that but he always seems to get the worst of the techs, where Rodman was craftier.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:27 PM - OX1947: Why does everyone on the warriors look like Steph now?
    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:28 PM - OX1947: Awe, look at Kerr and Vogel, laughing and stuff
    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:28 PM - Khmrp: i think Vogel will have lineul issues all season with so many new players
    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:28 PM - Khmrp: lineup
    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:28 PM - OX1947: I remember when Phil Jackson would shake hands with the opposing coach, he would tell them to go sit down, hahahahhahahhahahahah
    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:29 PM - Cookie: I think Dwight gets hosed some on techs but he does some stupid pushes in the back and whatnot that are easy to call. He does get fouled a lot that doesn’t get called. So he’s frustrated
    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:29 PM - OX1947: Lakers looked sloppy in the 10 min I watched
    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:30 PM - OX1947: No offensive system
    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:30 PM - Cookie: You ain’t seen nothing yet Ox. If you want to burn your eyes look at the first half
    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:30 PM - OX1947: I will, I have the podcast Sunday night so I'll be watching tomorrow in the morning
    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:31 PM - Khmrp: offense system is same, except of just lebron its russ too. give em the ball n stand around n watch
    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:31 PM - Cookie: It was bad. Especially Russ and his nonstop turnovers
    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:31 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Looking forward to the podcast, and too the Fury/Wilder match.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:31 PM - OX1947: LeBron is the Peyton Manning of the NBA. There really isn't a system. Just LeBron system and he plays so you don't have to worry about a specific system
    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:31 PM - Cookie: Night guys
    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:32 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Night Cookie.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:32 PM - OX1947: Ya, fury needs to end this trilogy the right way
    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:32 PM - OX1947: Night cook
    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:35 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I am picking Fury to bring it home. Wilder looks shook and is making every excuse he can to band aid his resolve and ego.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:36 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Fury looks a little less in shape than last match but even last match he still had love handles.
    Oct 8, 2021 at 9:46 PM - OX1947: Fury boxing skills are unmatched
