AD is one of the toughest guys out there. Hardly a coward if that’s what you were calling him.
AD one of the toughest? FOH with that (bleep).
Ok tough guy…relax.
AD is having a solid game..
wat? You're the one that said AD is on one of the toughest guys out there which is f'king ludicrous...because he's not.
I meant he’s been tough in this game. He’s been all over the place. Dunking on people, rebounding, etc. that’s defined as tough…right?
No need to get pissy with me. I think AD had a solid tough game. My opinion.
B!tch......you came at me pissy first....don't say that ish when your ass is the one that came at me sideways like that initially. _________________ The butter's hard and the eggs are chillin' in the dark.

Read the thread, bro. I was just disagreeing with your point about Davis.
You got hostile…
No need for that.
I have been a contributor here for 20 years…no need to be hostile and threatening..
So we could have had Heild, KCP, AC, Dwight, Rondo and all other min guys and we got WB..wow...#Robthegenius
Lakers would be a far better team with Buddy, KCP and the first round pick instead of WB. I’d still bring in Nunn with MMLE and then try to package the 1st round pick to upgrade the roster even more.
Who cares if it's pre season? It's not acceptable to lose by 30 every game
Sorry but losing is one thing but getting your arse totally whipped in just about every categorry for 4 games shows there's a bit of a problem.
This will continue into the regular season, and guys will start bailing out.
AD's rounding into form. Good to see Melo knocking down 3s in rhythm. Great stuff from Baze tonight. And Dwiiiiiiight
one guy I'm worried about is Nunn. dude looks invisible in his minutes/never has the ball. wonder if he's a trade candidate for a wing after the AS break

If we traded for Buddy instead, who would've been our point guard?

Who was our PG when the Lakers won the championship? Lebron will always be our defacto PG. Rondo and Nunn could be our backups.

Same guys that led us to a title.
I imagine we also would have prioritized our offseason differently. No need for Ellington and possibly Nunn.

Well, it's an 82 game season again and Bron is def. not getting younger.. That's a disaster just waiting to happen in 2021 because if he gets hurt at all the team is absolute trash and if we don't have wins stacked up like last year to sustain it we're likely out of the Playoffs.
Rondo and Nunn are great as backups or for a rest management game here or there but they knew they needed to get Bron legit pg help which Westbrook clearly brings once he gets a better feel for his teammates. It's a fantastic regular season move but only time will tell how well it works throughout the Playoffs.
People are being massively over dramatic which is fine but personally I saw a few nice things the last couple games to take away. That lineup with Baze, Westbrook, AD and Dwight is already capable of some fantastic defensive stretches which was great to see (add a top 3 player in the NBA to those 4 and I see some decent potential). The team clearly needs a lot more time together but considering we have 3 guys injured already and AD got beat up all game while Westbrook also had some kind of minor shoulder injury I get there hesitancy to play the vets too much in pre-season.
It's not ideal at all but only 2 games in the first 9 are against legit tough teams so i'm guessing that will be a big time feeling out period where they can still win a good amount of those games on talent alone.. After that, hopefully they have at least some beginnings of good chemistry to build on and they'll be fine imo.
Look at the Miami Heat, they had some big time growing pains and that with a prime Bron and Wade so patience is key to this roster to say the least. They're clearly the best team in the West imo with only health as a major (major, major) deterrent.

If Lebron gets injured again, we're out either way. Last year he was given plenty of time to rest, we didnt rush him. He was still a shell of himself in the first round.
We're gonna suck for the first 1/3 of the season. We'll get better with more time for sure but we shouldnt be getting blown out by 30 every game with or without lebron
Same stuff we heard last year, and then injuries happened right when we were supposed to 'turn it on'. Which put us in a desperate situation from then on.
I dont remember that last year. I'm not sure you do either. We had a hot start and we looked good in preseason. This team.is looking bad because of chemistry. It'll get better if frank has q clue. _________________ Coach Vogel, Kidd, Hollins

No he didn’t (reference “shut yo ass ra ra guy” on page 7), and your anger jockey routine is not acceptable. You are allowed to be upset over the loss. You are not allowed to go ham on anyone who isn’t. _________________ “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.

Yeah, I apologize for my harsh words. That was part vodka talking, part frustration with the team that I love, and part anth2000 coming into the game threads telling "everybody needs to calm the hell down". Fans telling other fans how they should act - especially in a game thread meant for venting - just gets my ire and annoys me to no end. But that still doesn't warrant my hostile nature and I do apologize to anth200 for calling him the "B word". Totally uncalled for on my part. _________________ The butter's hard and the eggs are chillin' in the dark.
