Oct 12, 2021 at 8:41 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Yes the shinola shoe polish game was epic. Holdat!!!!!!!!
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:41 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Melo...ugh
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:41 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Then there are the people who shave back their hairline as it recedes.
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:41 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Have to hit those shots.
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:41 PM - Khmrp: 2-7 with 3 TO meh
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:42 PM - Barnstable: AD gets cut every game
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:42 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Good job battling Russ
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:42 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Love that effort!
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:43 PM - Cookie: So you are on the hype bus @Barnstable?
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:43 PM - karacha: 8/6/3 for Russ isn't bad
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:43 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Decent half. That's without Melo and Russ shooting well
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:43 PM - Pioneer10: I think Anthony was the defender the Warriors scored on almost every single.possession from when I started watching and he's in
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:43 PM - Barnstable: For Reaves? Absolutely
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:44 PM - Juronimo: Melo has been bad today also
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:44 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Yeah, I believe so. They hunt for him.
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:44 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I think Russ comes right and I did just knock on wood just then.
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:44 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Need more D @ the 4 position.
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:44 PM - Khmrp: melo shouldn't ne starting
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:44 PM - LaVarBallsDad: When he isn't hitting his shots, he's useless
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:44 PM - karacha: obviously, we can win games. there's a lot of work to be done, but when you play normal rotations, we look better
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:45 PM - LaVarBallsDad: The kid that we signed today is 6'9" with a good wingspan
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:45 PM - Khmrp: is that taking in fact gsw isn't playing curry,green? @karacha
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:45 PM - Juronimo: Melo at this stage should come off the bench. I think he's effective there. Starting wise not sure about that
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:46 PM - Barnstable: Lol we had to play Brown in the second unit. This will be a different team once some of the 4 players that are injured come back
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:46 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Melo will work off the bench
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:46 PM - Juronimo: Are the Catholics injured, neither have played today
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:47 PM - Khmrp: monk is
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:47 PM - Juronimo: Melo is the ideal 6th man
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:47 PM - Khmrp: not sure nunn has 1
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:47 PM - OX1947: yes
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:48 PM - Pioneer10: melo ain't working in the playoffs starting or on the bench. Every single possession he was targeted on by the Warriors to finish that half.
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:48 PM - Cookie: If I took a drink for every time I heard us called the old guys, I’d be pass out on the floor.
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:49 PM - Cookie: Melo will be able to offset his D with his O.
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:49 PM - Pioneer10: Meol's contests are just too slow and looks like team have coached their guys that they have green light if he's rotated onto him
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:50 PM - Pioneer10: Doubt it: Melo had a decent game offensively every once in awhile last year and then bunch of people would go he's back or Melo always had game. They didn't mention they other 3or 4 bad offensive games he had

 

Oct 12, 2021 at 8:50 PM - Khmrp: melo not worried bout, Westbrick is the real concern
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:51 PM - LaVarBallsDad: We can resolve that problem by just minimizing his mins. We need a healthy rotation, though.
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:52 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Unfortunately, we will see more of him that what we want these next 8 weeks, IMO
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:52 PM - Pioneer10: Well of course when Ariza comes back the expectations are his minutes are low, so Westbrook is the more glaring problem
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:52 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Cookie the bad commentary teams won't watch us, they will just say some vague old jokes and pop up stats on our average age, talk about Foreman winning the heavyweight belt and done.
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:52 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Why do your job if you can half a** it?'
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:52 PM - Pioneer10: Luckily Westbrook looked more like himself to end that half
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:52 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Westbrook will be fine. He'll find his spots
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:53 PM - Juronimo: Is the new dude we picked up decent at defense?
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:53 PM - The Showtime Mamba: If Russ starts shining then all our problems will be fixed, and that will flow on to Melo and whoever. He is that key 3rd star to get the title.
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:53 PM - Pioneer10: For as much I hate his game, he can still push the pace and he looked good in transition
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:53 PM - LaVarBallsDad: I've already conceded he will piss me off, but I'll get over it.
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:54 PM - Pioneer10: Caruso 2.0 doesn't look half bad tbh: looks like he has a future
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:54 PM - The Showtime Mamba: The highlights I saw didn't seem to show he was worth much (and they were highlights), hope I am wrong.
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:55 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Can our scouting team sell consulting advice in return for draft picks. We seem to do very well with our picks.
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:55 PM - LaVarBallsDad: He's raw from what I understand. Very good measurable s. Dont know if it translates defensively
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:57 PM - Cookie: I don’t think the new guy is good at ANYTHING
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:57 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I am sure they wouldn't pick him for s***s and giggles. I mean we are buying the cheapest house on the block and hoping we can fix it up. POTENTIAL.
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:58 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Well Reggie Miller will never be fat, I know that.
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:58 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Naturally thin and probably works out enough.
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:58 PM - Cookie: It’s a project. If it works out great, it it doesn’t…not a big deal
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:59 PM - OX1947: He doesnt age either
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:59 PM - OX1947: Reggie has seriously looked the same since 1990
Oct 12, 2021 at 8:59 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Testament to good genes, discipline and good habits.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:00 PM - Cookie: That was nice defense by Melo.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:00 PM - The Showtime Mamba: NIce D Melo. Fouls spoil highlight plays.

 

Oct 12, 2021 at 9:00 PM - The Showtime Mamba: NIce D Melo. Fouls spoil highlight plays.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:01 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Yeah, nice help D
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:01 PM - karacha: while melo's d isn't good, he's still a net positive
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:01 PM - Cookie: GS has some nice ball movement
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:01 PM - The Showtime Mamba: It's what Melo does.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:01 PM - Khmrp: kind of def is this?
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:02 PM - Cookie: Nice Melo
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:02 PM - The Showtime Mamba: It's what Melo does again.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:02 PM - karacha: m3lo 40% on threes
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:03 PM - Cookie: Poole become the new MJ
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:03 PM - Juronimo: Ancient man bron got game
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:03 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Lol Reggie dissing Wiggens ruthlessly.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:03 PM - OX1947: why
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:04 PM - karacha: bron makes it look easy. guy is too good, even when he gives 1/2 effort
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:04 PM - OX1947: im on the SN feed
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:04 PM - Cookie: Baze has been kind of quite this game
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:04 PM - Juronimo: Johnny Blaze 3
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:04 PM - OX1947: baze has a quick release
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:04 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Did Melo just say "I got the f*** outtahere" lol.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:04 PM - Cookie: Noice
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:05 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Gotta stop Westbrook poaching.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:05 PM - karacha: igotittgetafuggaouttaheeeee
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:05 PM - karacha: 10/8/4 for Russ
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:05 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Beautiful. Melo with 2 corner 3s and Baze with 1, LBJ doing his thing.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:05 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Thanks Karacha, yeah he fought for that board like the last piece of chessecake.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:05 PM - karacha: we're shooting 39% for 3
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:05 PM - The Showtime Mamba: This game is......................................encouraging.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:06 PM - karacha: very. much, much better
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:06 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I am down for modern renaissance melo.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:06 PM - karacha: people who should be playing - are playing. except dwight, i guess
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:07 PM - karacha: i am pleased with russ taking only 2 threes
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:08 PM - karacha: take it inside, dish and rebound, simple
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:08 PM - The Showtime Mamba: GsW "starters" 1 for 18 from 3.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:09 PM - Khmrp: this def is a joke
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:09 PM - karacha: we should win this one and take that last game seriosuly as well

 

Oct 12, 2021 at 9:09 PM - karacha: maybe defend the 3, i don't know
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:10 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Baze is struggling defensively
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:10 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Wow Reggie going for 700 3's. I believe it.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:10 PM - Khmrp: defend anything would help
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:11 PM - karacha: baze is a good defender, but he fouls a lot
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:11 PM - LaVarBallsDad: We don't have Caruso to put on the teams hottest scorer
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:11 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Or even KCP for that matter
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:11 PM - OX1947: man, what could have been......
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:11 PM - Cookie: I thought we would look better than we do tonight
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:12 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Yet I keep getting all those Vogel loves Bazemores defense headlines.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:13 PM - Khmrp: helps gsw isnt playing majority of their real stars
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:14 PM - Khmrp: poole bout to be gsw 3rd splash bro
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:17 PM - Cookie: This game is starting to piss me off.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:17 PM - karacha: it started well
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:17 PM - Juronimo: Wiggins still mad at bron for trading him back in 2014
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:17 PM - Cookie: It’s our big 3 against their G league
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:17 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Silly foul
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:17 PM - The Showtime Mamba: We are playing down to our opposition. Where are our dogs?
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:17 PM - OX1947: Lakers may start 0-2 and then win the next 7
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:18 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Melo going to punch the ref.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:18 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Refs been a** tonight
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:18 PM - Khmrp: for all the bball x n o guys, can any 1 tell if the team is running any type of offensive plays?
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:18 PM - The Showtime Mamba: And then run away.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:18 PM - 432J: let's just prepare for this team starting off the season slowly, especially with the injuries. And then let's hope it's not 2013 all over again
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:18 PM - Cookie: Rondo need to take the open shot.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:19 PM - OX1947: yikes
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:19 PM - Juronimo: wtf
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:19 PM - OX1947: that was nothing but the outside of the net
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:19 PM - Khmrp: we really using injuries as a cop out already? tht is useful but hes not some major factor yet
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:19 PM - Juronimo: Ludabrow comon man
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:20 PM - LaVarBallsDad: AD...lol
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:20 PM - The Showtime Mamba: AD with the nothing but net 3 airball.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:20 PM - 432J: Ariza, tht, nunn, and monk are all hurt
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:20 PM - Khmrp: wow russ
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:20 PM - 432J: That's like the whole bench

 

Oct 12, 2021 at 9:20 PM - Khmrp: just throw it anywhere huh
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:20 PM - Cookie: Preseason legs…shut up Reggie.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:20 PM - karacha: well, this went south real fast
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:21 PM - Khmrp: nunn n monk arent major
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:21 PM - Khmrp: ariza maybe back for start of season
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:21 PM - OX1947: man, it really would have been cool to have a Nunn, Monk and a Pope on the same team
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:21 PM - Khmrp: but those 4 arent reasons we start slow either
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:21 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I can't get in what world AD would not have enough stamina or strength in his legs due to pre-season. Weak.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:22 PM - 432J: Ariza back for the start of the season? Where did you see that
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:22 PM - karacha: we will lose every preseason game it seems
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:22 PM - OX1947: maybe you mean, next season
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:22 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Pope was a hound on D. Loved his deflections and breakaway dunks.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:22 PM - Pioneer10: Man Westbrook is going to give me a heart attack: why does he drive into 3 players with no where to go?
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:22 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Sometime westbrook is a genius, a stupid genius.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:22 PM - 432J: Yeah, losing kcp and caruso is definitely going to hurt
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:23 PM - karacha: the only improvement seems to be less turnovers
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:23 PM - Khmrp: says 6-8 after surgery for ariza
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:23 PM - Juronimo: When Westbrook had athleticism he could do that. He can't anymore but he doesn't know it.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:23 PM - Cookie: Ariza will not be back for the beginning of the season. He’s out 6 to 8 weeks
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:23 PM - Khmrp: thatsbwas few weeks ago
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:23 PM - 432J: 6-8 weeks. Not days
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:23 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Nice pass for the and1 Russ.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:24 PM - Khmrp: if we losing its not cause of no ariza
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:24 PM - 432J: And of course, 6-8 weeks in Lakers world is 10-12 weeks
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:24 PM - Pioneer10: AD does look bigger/stronger
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:24 PM - OX1947: he is
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:24 PM - The Showtime Mamba: AD finding that rim.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:24 PM - 432J: Never said I was because of ariza, but when you're missing 4-5 guys it's going to affect the team
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:25 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Rondoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:25 PM - Khmrp: stronger but still settles for being a stretch big
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:25 PM - OX1947: Threaves shows Westbrook how its suppose to go
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:25 PM - karacha: r33ves is a good scorer
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:25 PM - Khmrp: nunn, monk will be back for start
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:25 PM - Cookie: Nice Reaves. Seats going fast.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:26 PM - OX1947: is it just me or do the lakers turn the ball over every other series

 

Oct 12, 2021 at 9:26 PM - Khmrp: tht n ariza helps but they're not difference makers
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:26 PM - Pioneer10: Reaves look like the real deal: he's a real pest on defense
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:26 PM - Cookie: They do Ox. Tonight it’s Bron. I think he had 8.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:27 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Only down 1. AD and LBJ probably done for tonight. Russell probably, too
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:27 PM - karacha: plz try to win
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:27 PM - Cookie: Bron with 6 and Russ with 5.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:27 PM - Khmrp: bron has 6, russ 5 l
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:28 PM - Cookie: Sorry but there’s no reason we should be down to GSW with who is on the court.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:28 PM - OX1947: when your point guards have 11 turnovers by just them, usually means bad things
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:30 PM - OX1947: Downtown Brown?
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:30 PM - Cookie: Reaves is 3-5. 2-3 from 3 and 100% from free throws.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:30 PM - OX1947: Dwight plaing volleyball
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:30 PM - karacha: dwight should go nuts and win this for us
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:30 PM - Khmrp: bron to is cause he doesn't try, russ TO cause he does try which is a scary thought lol
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:30 PM - karacha: reaves is 100% FT in every game
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:31 PM - OX1947: What can Brown do for you?
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:31 PM - Cookie: Really Karacha? How many has he shot?
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:31 PM - OX1947: whos Reeves
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:31 PM - Pioneer10: Is it a good team that this team has consistently looked better with Rondo at the point than westbrook?
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:32 PM - OX1947: the reality is, rondo is a better field general than westbrook
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:32 PM - karacha: not many cookie. maybe 7-8
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:32 PM - Cookie: Rondo has a better BBIQ than Wes.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:33 PM - OX1947: And better BBQ dinners
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:33 PM - Khmrp: never really looked at Westbrook as a pg, hes a ball dominant sg that has high usg % to boost his stats
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:33 PM - Cookie: That too. Except OKC probably has some good BBQ.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:33 PM - OX1947: yah, Westbrook's talent is to wear the other team out when they are tired
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:34 PM - Khmrp: wonder if bron really thought it thru with his request for Russ lol
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:35 PM - Pioneer10: I've actually liked a lot of the moves Pelinka has made: THT was really coming on, Monk has looked good, its good to have Howard and Rondo back. But then there is westbrook uggh
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:35 PM - Juronimo: Can we trade Westbrook for BBQ?
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:35 PM - Khmrp: do russ a solid n send him back to okc
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:35 PM - Cookie: Does it include baby back ribs?
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:36 PM - OX1947: from Lucille's
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:36 PM - Pioneer10: It actually makes sense to have Russell come off the bench and attack second units and wear people out but that will never happen
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:36 PM - Juronimo: Kansas City has incredible brisket, I'd trade Westbrook for that
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:36 PM - OX1947: that's messed up

 

Oct 12, 2021 at 9:36 PM - Khmrp: come ox lucilles?
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:37 PM - Khmrp: that aint real bbq
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:37 PM - OX1947: yes, i love commerical chains.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:37 PM - Khmrp: bledsoes
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:38 PM - Cookie: Our G league needs to win this game for us and show the starters how it’s done.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:38 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I gotta go to tennis. Feels like a loss. If we lose we should all go and punch a GSW fan.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:39 PM - Khmrp: if gsw played curry n green i wouldn't dount this be a double digit deficit
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:39 PM - karacha: have to go to bed. see you guys tomorrow
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:39 PM - Cookie: Night Showtime

Oct 12, 2021 at 9:39 PM - OX1947: ill punch a GSW fan
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:39 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Night Cookie. Maybe all punch the same GSW fan.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:41 PM - Juronimo: The traveling queen to dawite
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:41 PM - Cookie: Nice pass there.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:41 PM - OX1947: dancing Queen, not traveling
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:41 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Pretty play. See you all. Thanks for being here.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:42 PM - Cookie: ABBA.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:42 PM - KareemtheGreat33: Wino gets triggered with ABBA
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:42 PM - OX1947: i only get triggered with Country music
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:43 PM - OX1947: detestable music
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:43 PM - Cookie: ABBA, ABBA, ABBA
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:44 PM - Pioneer10: Reaves a couple of bad plays on offense but he's a real pest on D
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:44 PM - Cookie: You don’t like the song, I’ve got friends in low places Ox? I don’t like country but that songs great.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:44 PM - Juronimo: Speaking of winos, I need to fill my wine fridge
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:45 PM - Cookie: You will definitely need some to watch the team early in the season Juronimo
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:45 PM - OX1947: garbage
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:45 PM - Cookie: No
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:45 PM - OX1947: haha
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:46 PM - Juronimo: @Cookie frfr I do have a mostly full bar in my tiny LA apt
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:46 PM - Cookie: Don’t miss Avery.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:47 PM - Cookie: As long as it’s alcohol Juronimo, you’re set.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:48 PM - Cookie: Can we get a free throw?
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:48 PM - OX1947: No
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:48 PM - Cookie: Lol

 

Oct 12, 2021 at 9:49 PM - Juronimo: I'm good there, I just need to add more whiskey, specifically an 18 year scotch
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:49 PM - Cookie: Good choice.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:50 PM - OX1947: Scotch....Scotch......Scotch.....Scotchy......Scotch......Scotch......down into my belly
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:50 PM - KareemtheGreat33: We are shallow as a dry riverbed
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:51 PM - Cookie: No
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:52 PM - OX1947: how many turnovers can one team make in a f***ing game? stupid turnovers too
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:52 PM - Cookie: We better look better to n opening night or we are going to get our a** handed to us.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:52 PM - Khmrp: not use to it yet ox? lol
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:53 PM - OX1947: they will get smoked on opening night
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:53 PM - Cookie: Like a cigar
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:53 PM - Khmrp: looking that way Ox, sad to say
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:53 PM - OX1947: like my gun
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:54 PM - Juronimo: Cigar plus 18 year scotch, sounds good right about now
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:54 PM - Khmrp: i dont think im going to like Westbrook era at all
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:54 PM - Cookie: I really thought we would win this game earlier. WTF.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:55 PM - KareemtheGreat33: Blowout
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:55 PM - KareemtheGreat33: 2012 feels
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:55 PM - Cookie: Going to have to visit the WMC thread for the first time this season.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:55 PM - Juronimo: Me neither khmrp, Westbrook was awful in the bubble, as if he'd magically reclaim his athleticism and conjure up bball IQ out of thin air
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:55 PM - OX1947: Lebron didnt help with his "preseason isnt important" comment
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:56 PM - Khmrp: n Vogel lack of offensive creativity wont help either
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:56 PM - Cookie: Night guys.
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:56 PM - OX1947: gnite
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:56 PM - Khmrp: hes just gona let bron n russ iso n create
Oct 12, 2021 at 9:57 PM - KareemtheGreat33: Hard to get wins, fight for it every game like in 2012 resulted in injuries to everyone

 

Oct 14, 2021 6:59 PM - Cookie: Howdy
Oct 14, 2021 7:03 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Howdy Cookie. We better win today or I will have to hit another GSW fan. I know we are playing the Kings, but good luck finding a Kings fan in New Zealand.
Oct 14, 2021 7:03 PM - Cookie: I think the Kings are 3-0 in preseason
Oct 14, 2021 7:07 PM - Cookie: How are the Dodgers doing tonight?
Oct 14, 2021 7:08 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Ummm dodgey?
Oct 14, 2021 7:09 PM - Cookie: I guess AD is not starting at center.
Oct 14, 2021 7:11 PM - Cookie: Nice Russ
Oct 14, 2021 7:11 PM - The Showtime Mamba: RWB kicking a**.
Oct 14, 2021 7:12 PM - Cookie: Noice
Oct 14, 2021 7:12 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Luke looks jacked.
Oct 14, 2021 7:12 PM - Cookie: Nice tip in DJ.
Oct 14, 2021 7:13 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Nice DJ.
Oct 14, 2021 7:13 PM - Cookie: We are really pushing the ball ahead.
Oct 14, 2021 7:13 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Russ pushing the tempo. DJ on track for ten rebounds.
Oct 14, 2021 7:14 PM - Cookie: Russ jacking a little too much.
Oct 14, 2021 7:15 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Lebron good shot.
Oct 14, 2021 7:15 PM - Cookie: Come on AD. Mouse in the house.
Oct 14, 2021 7:16 PM - Cookie: Nice give and go twice by Russ and DJ.
Oct 14, 2021 7:17 PM - Cookie: Luke has been juicing
Oct 14, 2021 7:18 PM - The Showtime Mamba: trading buckets sucks.
Oct 14, 2021 7:18 PM - Cookie: AD shooting has been underwhelming so far this season when it’s not in the paint
Oct 14, 2021 7:19 PM - The Showtime Mamba: If he is going to be big play big, but not just to lose the shooting and speed.
Oct 14, 2021 7:20 PM - Cookie: He needs to go back to his career 3 point shooting avg and not the 29 or whatever it was last year.
Oct 14, 2021 7:21 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I noticed he clipped the rim on a couple of attempts and then just flagged the 3 last game.
Oct 14, 2021 7:21 PM - Cookie: He will get his legs under him soon but need to stay aggressive
Oct 14, 2021 7:21 PM - LALakersFan4Life: Will Buddy make his audition for the Lakers tonight by having a hot shooting night?
Oct 14, 2021 7:22 PM - Cookie: For sure
Oct 14, 2021 7:22 PM - Cookie: Laker killer
Oct 14, 2021 7:22 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I saw a good documentary on Ozzy Osbourne last night. Budd Heild revenge game?
Oct 14, 2021 7:22 PM - Cookie: Come on AD. It’s a free throw
Oct 14, 2021 7:23 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Russ pace is looking good there.
Oct 14, 2021 7:23 PM - Cookie: That’s more like it AD
Oct 14, 2021 7:24 PM - Cookie: Good block by DJ
Oct 14, 2021 7:24 PM - Cookie: This is the best start Russ has had in a Laker uniform
Oct 14, 2021 7:25 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Yes COokie and DAJ looks goodish.

 

Oct 14, 2021 at 7:29 PM - Cookie: We need to stay on Barnes.
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:29 PM - KareemtheGreat33: Garbage
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:30 PM - Cookie: We haven’t looked THAT bad Kareem.
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:31 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Heild bricking a couple of 3's to show what he would look like as a Laker lol.
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:31 PM - Cookie: AD missing free throws and bunnies
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:31 PM - Cookie: Lol
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:33 PM - Cookie: TT flexing like he’s a tough guy.
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:34 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I like Melo's game. The flash will be fun.
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:34 PM - Cookie: Melo will be good for us. His defense won’t be but overall he should be a plus
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:35 PM - Cookie: AD needs to wake up
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:36 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Melo can rebound well and swear and we can cover for him on D as long as he tries. So I am positive about him.
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:37 PM - Cookie: His swear game is first class
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:38 PM - Cookie: 7 turnovers so far in the first. We HAVE to cut down on those
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:39 PM - The Showtime Mamba: COme on now Lakers.
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:39 PM - karacha: nice game. we will not have a single win in the preseason
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:39 PM - Khmrp: vogel with rondo/rwb lineup, next lvl genius or next lvl idiocy
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:39 PM - Cookie: Finally a good move
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:40 PM - Cookie: TT is 100 years old and he’s looking like a stud against us
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:40 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Rondo RWB must be injury related. I don't like it. Does not compliment RWB to have Rondo play the point.
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:41 PM - Cookie: Yes I don’t like it either
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:41 PM - Khmrp: shouldnt be surprised by now cookie
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:41 PM - The Showtime Mamba: man f*** leading Canadians in rebounding.
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:42 PM - Cookie: Sactown has some talent. They will never go anywhere with Luke as the coach
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:43 PM - Cookie: 24-6 run for the Kings
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:43 PM - Khmrp: arent these guys suppose to look better as we progress?
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:43 PM - Pioneer10: I just hate Westbrook and Melo: hated their games before coming to LA and now I'm stuck watching both of them: uggh
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:44 PM - karacha: how can you hate melo's game, he was always fun to watch
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:44 PM - Cookie: We went 5 minutes without a basket. That wasn’t supposed to happen this year.
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:44 PM - KareemtheGreat33: 0-6 perfecta
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:44 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Thinks Rondo, hitting Westbrook makes us feel a bit better.
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:44 PM - abeer3: i'm incredibly uncomfortable with the fact that our most disappointing seasons were exactly 9 and then 18 years ago...
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:45 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I agree Karacha. Melo is fun to watch Kobe loved his game.
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:45 PM - Pioneer10: melo defense always sucked and I just hate iso ball from guys who aren't good passers
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:45 PM - abeer3: when dj went out, we quit defending for some reason
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:45 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Abeer like the 27 year curse in IT???????

 

Oct 14, 2021 at 7:46 PM - Cookie: I’m OK with Melo for the money.
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:47 PM - Pioneer10: I'm not ok with melo: teams just target him every time on defense. His movement rate by synergy was one of the lowest
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:47 PM - Cookie: At least Reaves is playing defense
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:47 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Westbrook a lethal shooter.
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:47 PM - The Showtime Mamba: You may be dead right Pioneer. I hope not and I will enjoy what I can till it proves detrimental.
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:47 PM - Cookie: This is a screwy lineup
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:47 PM - Khmrp: lethal? lol
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:48 PM - Cookie: Melo 3
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:48 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Melo is a lethal shooter. Melo you beast.
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:49 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Ouch Lebron rough housing with the little kids.
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:49 PM - karacha: see, melo does the job
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:49 PM - Cookie: We need shooting Pioneer10 and Melo can do that. It’s just whether he ends up being a +/- because of his defense. I think he will end up a + overall
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:49 PM - abeer3: who thought trying to take the contact on lebron on the fast break was a good idea?
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:50 PM - abeer3: so...another season of we win as long as lebron plays 48 minutes?
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:50 PM - Khmrp: at least he tried
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:51 PM - abeer3: i'll also tell it: i prefer thinner AD
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:51 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Last year we had no shooting (or patchy inconsistent which is the same thing) and we couldn't guard the 3. I roll with that sweet fellow Melo.
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:52 PM - Khmrp: id prefer no westbrick oh well
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:52 PM - abeer3: we really haven't generated a lot of open threes for our supposedly improved perimeter shooters, which begs some questions...
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:52 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Abeer I think a few of us are saying this. I hate the optics on the thinner AD.
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:52 PM - Pioneer10: @abeer3 lebron is +8 lol
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:52 PM - abeer3: yeah pioneer...that's...bad
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:52 PM - The Showtime Mamba: It reminds me of when a rugby player went to rugby league (a wing fast player) and bulked up and lost his pace and explosiveness.
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:52 PM - Cookie: Now that was nice Russ
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:52 PM - abeer3: AD's advantage is his mobility, and he looks sluggish
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:53 PM - Cookie: A bunch of our 3 point shooters are n street clothes
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:53 PM - abeer3: notice halliburton got in the paint against not-reaves
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:53 PM - abeer3: second stringers can't handle howard
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:54 PM - The Showtime Mamba: It's like a bulked up Pau, you can only go so far with it.
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:54 PM - abeer3: yes, cookie, but how many open threes have we taken in this game so far?
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:54 PM - CarolinaLakerFan: HBK can play!
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:54 PM - Cookie: Reaves is a player
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:54 PM - Khmrp: Mitchell gona be good for sac
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:55 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I hope AD grows into his body.
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:55 PM - Khmrp: nice pass reaves

 

Oct 14, 2021 at 7:55 PM - Cookie: We’ve taken 8 and made 4 threes abeer3
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:56 PM - Pioneer10: reaves is going to play his way into the rotation lol.
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:56 PM - abeer3: fox scored, but reaves made that a tough shot
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:56 PM - Cookie: Make that 9
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:56 PM - Khmrp: yea abeer, we win all on bron
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:56 PM - Cookie: Oh, you said open….I don’t know.
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:56 PM - abeer3: i'd argue only a couple of our attempts were open and in rhythm though
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:57 PM - Pioneer10: such a stupid shot by westrbrook on that 3: run the damn offense
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:57 PM - abeer3: again, love that teams waste several fouls just trying to face guard howard on box outs
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:57 PM - Khmrp: i missed dwight physicality, i would hate to try n box him out
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:58 PM - Cookie: Dwight can eat guys whole.
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:58 PM - Cookie: Dodgers up 1-0
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:58 PM - abeer3: and they keep having to have barnes box him out on rotations
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:58 PM - abeer3: get that dude out before he's injured
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:58 PM - Khmrp: go dodgers not even baseball fan
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:59 PM - abeer3: lebron's little fadeaway looks pretty labored tonight
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:59 PM - Cookie: I wish we could have gotten Barnes
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:59 PM - Khmrp: we shouldve targeted barnes not buddy when talking to sac
Oct 14, 2021 at 7:59 PM - Khmrp: buddy is a 1 trick pony
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:00 PM - Juronimo: Dawite!!!!
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:00 PM - abeer3: yep i called for barnes all offseason
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:00 PM - Khmrp: d12!
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:00 PM - CarolinaLakerFan: Dwight is a freak at age 35
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:00 PM - LALakersFan4Life: Dwight chase down block
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:00 PM - Cookie: Yes but that trick is Noice
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:00 PM - Juronimo: Ugh Dawite will get a F1
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:00 PM - Khmrp: barnes didnt learn lol
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:01 PM - abeer3: i'm telling you, barnes is going to get hurt because he doesn't know better than to keep running into howard
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:01 PM - Cookie: That’s not a flagrant but they will call it
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:01 PM - Pioneer10: That should have been an offensive foul on barnes as well
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:01 PM - abeer3: that's a flagrant
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:01 PM - Pioneer10: he totally swung his arm out and Dwight still blocked it
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:01 PM - abeer3: follow through on head
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:01 PM - The Showtime Mamba: no flagrant in the ST playbookbut yeah.
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:01 PM - Juronimo: No shocker on F1 Dawite went oops upside ya head

 

Oct 14, 2021 at 8:02 PM - abeer3: howard's good for a nice unofficial timeout once a game
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:03 PM - CarolinaLakerFan: Terrible call!
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:03 PM - abeer3: they're wrong on that one
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:04 PM - Cookie: Refs are starting to screw Dwight over
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:04 PM - CarolinaLakerFan: How’s that not a foul?
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:04 PM - abeer3: the faceguard box out might be an automatic defensive foul, tbh, though box outs are weird in general
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:05 PM - abeer3: lol, refs sending a message for some reason
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:05 PM - Juronimo: Dawite has earned himself a "reputation"
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:05 PM - abeer3: oh, but that's a foul
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:05 PM - Cookie: Come on, the whistles are crazy now
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:05 PM - Khmrp: yep refs punishing us now
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:06 PM - abeer3: just call it on both ends
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:06 PM - abeer3: no way one of those was and the other wasn't a foul
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:06 PM - Cookie: Nice put back Dwight
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:06 PM - abeer3: how did AD not see that first double coming?
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:06 PM - Cookie: Drummond could have made a living on putbacks but noooo
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:07 PM - abeer3: great pass AD
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:07 PM - Juronimo: Ludabrow turned into instead of away from the double
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:07 PM - abeer3: i'd call a timeout, too. holmes is 6'8" and dominating our bigger interior players
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:08 PM - Pioneer10: and teams starts imploding again w/o Lebron
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:08 PM - Pioneer10: that being ssaid despite that Holmes putback still like Dwight and AD together
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:08 PM - abeer3: honestly, AD and dj looked good to start, too
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:09 PM - abeer3: feel like better defensive teams will end that, but it can work on some nights
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:09 PM - abeer3: rondo hasn't had a strong half, which might be a bit of why lebron's absence is being felt
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:09 PM - abeer3: some questionable passes and soft d
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:10 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I like the idea of spreading the wealth rather than having a super 5 group of starters.
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:11 PM - abeer3: i like russ gathering in the paint, don't feel like i've seen it a lot from him
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:11 PM - Juronimo: Nice move by ludabrow
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:11 PM - Pioneer10: westbrook going downhill is nice to see
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:11 PM - Khmrp: russ lethal shooter lol
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:11 PM - karacha: Russ playing better today. And only 2 TOs.
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:11 PM - Cookie: Screw these refs
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:12 PM - Juronimo: Nice Russ pass for and 1
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:12 PM - Juronimo: Why we no make pay throws
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:12 PM - abeer3: no reason holmes should be allowed to play AD

 

Oct 14, 2021 at 8:12 PM - karacha: this is a perfectly acceptable game by russ
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:13 PM - Khmrp: ad shooting way off
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:13 PM - abeer3: what's the fuss about davion mitchell btw?
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:13 PM - The Showtime Mamba: AD looking good now. Loved him pushing past the ref to get back on D. Russ to AD.
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:13 PM - abeer3: i wouldn't guard him ever
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:13 PM - Cookie: Please say we aren’t going to be a bad free throw team again this year.
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:13 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Yes this is a calm down Showtime Mamba performance by RWB.
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:13 PM - abeer3: oh cookie, you know we'll never be able to shoot from anywhere
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:14 PM - Juronimo: Have we ever been a good free throw team? Maybe in the 80s
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:14 PM - Cookie: Lol
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:14 PM - karacha: no, we haven't really
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:14 PM - Khmrp: ad getting out hustled by holmes
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:14 PM - Cookie: Is this where I do the Ox No abeer3
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:14 PM - karacha: what a stupid foul
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:15 PM - abeer3: eh, i thought AD made a great play to keep holmes from getting the first board, then lucky bounce for them
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:15 PM - Juronimo: Yes Russ hasn't pissed me off today
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:15 PM - karacha: baze hits something
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:15 PM - Khmrp: lethal lol
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:15 PM - abeer3: i'll have to pay more attention, but i feel like when melo comes in, we stop defending
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:16 PM - Juronimo: Ugh spoke to soon
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:16 PM - Cookie: Holmes should have gotten a tech there
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:16 PM - Khmrp: brain of a scrub
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:16 PM - abeer3: lol, ok kings
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:16 PM - karacha: we aren't trying to win anything in the preseason. i know it's not a big deal, but i'd like if we could at least win this one
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:16 PM - KareemtheGreat33: Jebuz
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:17 PM - karacha: buddy would be a 25% 3pt shooter on our team
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:17 PM - abeer3: i actually think we ARE trying to win this game, and it's going poorly
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:17 PM - abeer3: what's it like to make back to back threes?
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:17 PM - Cookie: I say play Reaves 48 minutes lol
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:17 PM - Juronimo: Nice pass by reeves
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:17 PM - abeer3: right?
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:17 PM - Pioneer10: westbrook and melo sitting in a tree blowing easy layups, getting tos, and playing crappy D
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:18 PM - KareemtheGreat33: LOL Pio
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:18 PM - Juronimo: Lol pioneer
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:18 PM - abeer3: great d from lebron a couple plays ago

 

Oct 14, 2021 at 8:18 PM - Cookie: Buddy is killing us
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:18 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Westbrook throws a lazy pass, they get a 3 and RW glares at Melo. Seems legit.
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:19 PM - Juronimo: Ancient man bron and 1
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:19 PM - karacha: bron for 40 today
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:19 PM - LaVarBallsDad: The defense is going to be an issue all year
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:19 PM - abeer3: finally called a foul on holmes?
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:19 PM - Cookie: We might need 40 from Bron to win this
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:19 PM - abeer3: dude just swinging limbs with abandon
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:20 PM - abeer3: @lavar: yeah, i hate it
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:20 PM - Juronimo: Yeah our defense blows like, we'll insert inappropriate analogy here
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:20 PM - Khmrp: blows like russ blows layups
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:20 PM - abeer3: i just don't think vogel can take anybody and make a top-5 d. he's not a miracle-worker
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:21 PM - abeer3: sadly, all of our best defenders are available tonight, too, save ariza i guess
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:21 PM - Juronimo: Dammit Rob I'm a basketball coach, not a miracle worker
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:21 PM - Cookie: We will get better on defense as the year goes on. Not sure about top 5 though.
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:22 PM - abeer3: i've said it before: i was more comfortable when we hung our hat on defense. i know many on the forum weren't, but it won
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:22 PM - KareemtheGreat33: We’re gonna suck like it’s 2012
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:22 PM - abeer3: 2003/2012/2021
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:23 PM - Cookie: Stop jinxers
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:23 PM - LaVarBallsDad: We need to reduce Melo's mins.
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:23 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I am more worried about the turnovers aspect of our D. That is a real momentum killer and changes the flow.
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:24 PM - abeer3: yeah, don't want to be right about melo two years later...
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:24 PM - LaVarBallsDad: I am going to be a Melo hater all year
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:24 PM - Cookie: Cutting down on turnovers needs to be front and center for Russ and Bron.
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:24 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Well Rob is a miracle worker, KCP from heaven anyone?
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:25 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Lakerw shouldn't have been cheap and paid Caruso
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:25 PM - abeer3: turnovers have been a huge issue, though i'm actually more optimistic about cleaning that up than i am about the defense
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:25 PM - LaVarBallsDad: We should have just paid Caruso
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:26 PM - Khmrp: opposite, def will get better TO will not
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:26 PM - abeer3: yeah, early returns on caruso for monk/nunn/ellington are that i want my eagle back
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:26 PM - Khmrp: we saw last yr how much worse TO got n Russ ain't gona help
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:26 PM - Cookie: I’m not. Russ and Bron have terrible career records for turnovers. They can learn our defensive schemes
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:27 PM - abeer3: a lot of turnovers are due to unfamiliarity and wildin' out on the break
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:27 PM - LaVarBallsDad: He does so many things you just don't see in box scores
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:27 PM - abeer3: the defense is because we have guys who have never paid attention on team d

 

Oct 14, 2021 at 8:27 PM - Pioneer10: Take last years team add with some health and swapped Drummond for Howard and resigned rondo and it would look way better then this
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:27 PM - Cookie: Yes but how do you explain them being bad on turnovers their whole careers?
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:27 PM - Khmrp: TO were progressively getting worse for the team last yr n they were somewhat familiar with each other
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:27 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Or they just don't care (Melo)
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:28 PM - Pioneer10: Oh that’s tight that basically the same team that won a title
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:28 PM - abeer3: @pioneer: that would have been my play. last year's team was nowhere near as bad as everyone says
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:29 PM - Khmrp: wasnt last yr bottom 5 on offense?
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:29 PM - LaVarBallsDad: I don't mind the gamble, and it's still early. I would have just paid Caruso. Lol
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:29 PM - Pioneer10: They were injured so much like every team that went far in the bubble
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:29 PM - abeer3: not paying caruso was just pure cheaping out
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:29 PM - Cookie: If we plan on run outs this whole year, they can’t turn the ball over at the rate we are now.
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:29 PM - LaVarBallsDad: And probably kept Marc
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:30 PM - Cookie: I still hate losing the Eagle.
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:30 PM - abeer3: once we got drummond, marc was gone, which was a shame
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:30 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I think Caruso would be nice to have with his solid D and connection with Lebron. I think it was an error from Rob or whoever.
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:30 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Bulls will be good
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:30 PM - Pioneer10: PG is the deepest position in the league yet instead of getting reliable 3 pt shooter like Mills we keep going for guys like DS and Westbrick
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:31 PM - Cookie: I think Caruso was cost cutting, pure and simple.
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:31 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Drummond took down our season in a lot of ways, did Gasol wrong. Obviously injuries were ultimately the story.
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:31 PM - abeer3: caruso leaving reminds me a lot of ariza leaving, except this time instead of replacing him with a better vet at the same cost, we simply...didn't
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:31 PM - Pioneer10: Well THT was going to be the guy either way
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:31 PM - abeer3: we went for mills and he chose bkn
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:31 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I know it isn't my cash, but at what price a championship in this championship window.
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:31 PM - Cookie: Yes but we could have had both
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:32 PM - abeer3: i'm with you showtime
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:32 PM - Khmrp: shouldn't have traded for 50m/yr russ then
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:32 PM - Pioneer10: Caruso offensive limitations and both him and KCP couldn’t guard big wings despite otherwise being really good
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:32 PM - abeer3: you have a slim window, and you let a proven championship role player walk over a couple million
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:32 PM - abeer3: literally
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:32 PM - abeer3: we could have just not used the mini mle
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:32 PM - Juronimo: Yes khmrp that 44mil salary ugh
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:32 PM - LaVarBallsDad: We could have gotten a big wing defender for the minimum
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:33 PM - abeer3: we still can!
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:33 PM - LaVarBallsDad: And we can't just be cheaping out
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:33 PM - abeer3: *james ennis liked this tweet*

 

Oct 14, 2021 at 8:33 PM - Pioneer10: Look you can see flashes with Westbrook and we have a bunch of guys injured so I don’t excpect a ton of Melo like this so still reason for hope
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:33 PM - LaVarBallsDad: A hedge fund just bought into Lakers ownership
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:33 PM - LaVarBallsDad: There's no reason to be cheap
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:33 PM - Khmrp: we did not need a 3rd star especially one like Westbrook
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:34 PM - Pioneer10: But every year it’s the same thing with Russ just stop doing stupid stuff and you would be a much better player
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:34 PM - abeer3: i was never on team 3rd star, check the receipts
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:34 PM - abeer3: didn't want hield, either (wanted barnes)
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:34 PM - Pioneer10: he just can’t stop getting in his own way
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:34 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Russ is who he is.
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:34 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Can't see this new guy being better than Ennis. What is his upside over Ennis??????
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:34 PM - Khmrp: russ will only force it more the worser it gets
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:35 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I like the Barnes idea.
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:35 PM - abeer3: yeah, russ wasn't going to change, nor should anyone expect it
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:35 PM - Pioneer10: @abeer3 yep that would have been my play too. Resign Howard and Barnes would have been the natural 4 to go with AD at the 5 for small ball. Resign Caruso and THT and one year deal for DS
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:36 PM - abeer3: yep; or pursue the DS s&t harder than we did
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:36 PM - Khmrp: wouldn't have resigned DS under any circumstances
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:36 PM - abeer3: lol baze didn't want that break
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:36 PM - Juronimo: I like that idea pioneer
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:36 PM - Juronimo: WTF just happened
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:37 PM - Pioneer10: But I’m still optimistic THT and Monk and Ariz’s seem like perfect admins to Lebron and AD. Who knows with Russell but people have rightfully pointed he’s a second half player
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:37 PM - Khmrp: wouldn't have minded Dinwidde at 20/m
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:37 PM - Cookie: What happened to Bron
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:37 PM - abeer3: 2012
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:37 PM - Juronimo: I don't know
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:38 PM - abeer3: any incoming s&t was a no-go for me
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:38 PM - abeer3: hard caps you for the year
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:38 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Barnes has a lot of positives.
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:39 PM - abeer3: if you squint, you can see steve nash's ghost laughing
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:39 PM - Juronimo: abeer3 that cuts deep
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:39 PM - abeer3: that was a very hard year
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:39 PM - Juronimo: Dats cold
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:40 PM - abeer3: and yes, it looked exactly like this one at this point...
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:40 PM - Juronimo: Regardless our superstar senior citizen is still in the game
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:40 PM - abeer3: AD needs to convert there, but good job dj
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:40 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I hate Steve ca$h.

 

Oct 14, 2021 at 8:40 PM - abeer3: not a foul
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:40 PM - Cookie: Just because Fox slipped doesn’t mean we fouled him
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:41 PM - Cookie: Me too Showtime
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:41 PM - Khmrp: this crap is ugly pre season or not
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:41 PM - abeer3: holmes is getting every call because he's aggressive. take note, holmes's opponent
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:42 PM - Cookie: The refs just love Holmes. We are getting hacked and not getting the same calls
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:42 PM - LALakersFan4Life: HBK with the handles!
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:43 PM - abeer3: yeah, they're bad calls
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:43 PM - The Showtime Mamba: HBK is sweet.
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:43 PM - Juronimo: Funk dat are was that horrid defense
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:43 PM - abeer3: reaves almost brings the house down
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:43 PM - abeer3: pull them all
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:43 PM - abeer3: that sequence was garbage
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:43 PM - Cookie: Sactown getting every lucky bounce
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:43 PM - LALakersFan4Life: Good D, Austin
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:44 PM - abeer3: then reaves kept him off the glass
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:44 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I looked away. What happened to Bron he looks like a zombie out there.
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:44 PM - Juronimo: Ludabrow LeBron rook nice play
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:44 PM - Cookie: DJ complaining and not running back
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:45 PM - Juronimo: Showtime it's called old age
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:45 PM - The Showtime Mamba: HBK clean finish.
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:45 PM - LALakersFan4Life: Austin is not playing like a rookie out there.
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:45 PM - Cookie: I couldn’t see anything Showtine on the replay
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:45 PM - LALakersFan4Life: Dishing some nice passes
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:45 PM - abeer3: liked russ going over the top on that screen
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:45 PM - abeer3: what a pass reaves
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:46 PM - Khmrp: dj is a lazy player maybe pre season but dude got no hustle in him
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:46 PM - abeer3: who's going to take his minutes?
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:46 PM - Pioneer10: This kid Reaves is a baller
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:46 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Reaves is making my day. He can even make DAJ score on his lazy layup.
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:46 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Lol Khmrp I was thinking lazy too like when he missed and shrugged rather than running back. Completely no foul.
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:46 PM - Cookie: The Reaves hype train has left the station
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:47 PM - abeer3: yeah, i'm trying not to overreact
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:47 PM - LALakersFan4Life: IF THT is out for month, then HBK is taking his minutes at SF
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:47 PM - abeer3: maybe there's just so little else to enjoy thus far

 

Oct 14, 2021 at 8:47 PM - Cookie: Oh go ahead Abeer. Let lose lol
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:48 PM - abeer3: imagine if reaves played in boston...heinsohn would have already spontaneously combusted
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:48 PM - Juronimo: I'm all about overreacting
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:48 PM - LALakersFan4Life: Fast break Russ to Bron!
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:48 PM - Cookie: And Bill Simmons would be losing his mind
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:49 PM - Juronimo: Good ol bill Simmons moist rage
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:49 PM - Cookie: Noice
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:49 PM - LALakersFan4Life: Bron lobs it to DJ for the dunk!
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:49 PM - LALakersFan4Life: HBK 3!
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:49 PM - Juronimo: Reaves got some game
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:49 PM - abeer3: good show from dj
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:49 PM - The Showtime Mamba: um splash city. SOrry I will holy water my mouth out.
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:49 PM - Khmrp: r3avs
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:50 PM - Cookie: Game knows game
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:50 PM - abeer3: fox doesn't hit that and the rout's on
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:50 PM - JLaker17: Reaves can really play
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:50 PM - Cookie: Oh we get a call
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:51 PM - Juronimo: Russ literally stared at fox shooting that 3
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:51 PM - abeer3: nba teams need to scout iq as well as they do wingspan
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:51 PM - Khmrp: u could tell that reaves got gm since SL n he wqsnt scoring like crazy like Kuz either
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:51 PM - Cookie: Bron is resting. We better keep the pedal to the metal
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:51 PM - abeer3: bron sat
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:51 PM - abeer3: deficit incoming
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:52 PM - abeer3: reaves got tapped
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:52 PM - abeer3: great help from russ
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:53 PM - Juronimo: Geez hield draymoned ludabrow
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:53 PM - Khmrp: AD work on his shot this off season?
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:53 PM - abeer3: i mean, do they know lebron's sitting when they shoot?
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:53 PM - Cookie: No
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:53 PM - abeer3: AD used to be money from midrange
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:53 PM - Juronimo: Its a chuckfest
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:53 PM - Cookie: Come on Baze
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:54 PM - Pioneer10: and lebron sits and we suck again
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:54 PM - abeer3: whole lead gone, 2 min
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:54 PM - Khmrp: guess not

 

Oct 14, 2021 at 8:54 PM - JLaker17: Honestly for all the crap Russ gets I would say AD is playing just as bad
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:54 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Davis shot struggles are starting to grate on me.
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:54 PM - LALakersFan4Life: Nice pass from Reeves to AD but misses the floater
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:54 PM - abeer3: AD's had a bad game
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:54 PM - Khmrp: not his push shot
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:54 PM - Cookie: If you are playing like crap. Sit down AD
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:55 PM - JLaker17: but its preseason so I guess we will see
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:55 PM - abeer3: like worst game i've seen from him in a while
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:55 PM - abeer3: yikes
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:55 PM - Khmrp: all push up no jump shot
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:55 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Bazemore needs to Bazeless today.
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:55 PM - Cookie: I want 5 Reaves out there
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:56 PM - Juronimo: Dawite howad!!!
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:56 PM - abeer3: why are we having AD catch facing the hoop from dead center three point land?
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:57 PM - Cookie: Wasn’t AD money from the straight on three 2 years ago?
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:57 PM - Khmrp: he wants to be stretch big now doesn't he?
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:57 PM - Juronimo: He was
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:57 PM - abeer3: lol dwight's three closer than everyone else's
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:58 PM - abeer3: AD isn't even looking at the hoop, though
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:58 PM - Cookie: AD is playing soft this game
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:58 PM - abeer3: alright, i can't stay up to watch our starters lose to the sacramento kings
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:58 PM - JLaker17: I just feel like AD just looks very complacent, even last year during the regular season. He just settles all game
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:59 PM - Cookie: Night abeer
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:59 PM - Khmrp: i totally agree J
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:59 PM - abeer3: AD was basically playing hurt all year last year; no excuse this year, though
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:59 PM - abeer3: night folks. hold it down and pray for reaves to deliver us
Oct 14, 2021 at 8:59 PM - Khmrp: he couod be guarded by IT #2 n still shoot a fade away
Oct 14, 2021 at 9:00 PM - JLaker17: facts
