Damn he’s good.

I know people hate him for a lot of his opinions and actions off the court, but goodness he’s talented.

Looking at last night’s box scores, I was wondering if basketball had started.

When Steph Curry is shooting about 25% (5-21) and his team still wins by 7, it was likely an ugly night all around.

Does he ever get past the first page on any of those books?

Apparently not.

And Hunger Games is not exactly a heavy read either. It’s a young adult series.



I take one look at this shite and think of A Fish Called Wanda where a pseudo-intellectual gets called out on a bunch of basic mistakes like claiming the central message of Buddhism is “Every man for himself” and that the London Underground is a political movement.

So even when he’s reading he’s faking it...just like flopping.

The fact that you are trying to find flaws in this kind of performance is just pathetic and shows your insecurity

GSW is really good. If klay comes back and is say 80% of prime klay I got them coming out the west.

Westbrook don’t fit on the lakers at all. Need balls in his hands if you have him standing in the corner catch and shoot he is one of the worst players in the league at the role.

GSW at full health are good. They weren’t anywhere close to it last night with Klay and Wiseman out as well as Steph shooting like shite.


Their bench pretty much made that game and it was likely in part due to the Laker bench being that godawful.

Pretty awful start - the guy was -23 in the opener.

Some nights he can hit shots. Some nights he can’t.

In a thread elsewhere, I outright said he will have several games this year where the Lakers could win but he shot his way into a loss on a night where he couldn’t get them to fall.


Theoretically, nights where he is hitting shots will mean he can carry the load while AD and LeBron get reduced minutes.

If he is completely washed up, those two will be on the floor 40 minutes a night and not make it to the playoffs due to injuries.

The Lakers could have had Hield and kept KCP and Bald, which would have made a lot more sense but Lebron wanted Westbrook.

And I thank him for it.

If the Lake Show sucks this season, the Pels have swap rights. And projections going into the season had the Pels doing better than the Lakers to begin with.

Most of his points came from threes or fade away jumpers. Too slow to get to the paint consistently any longer.



This board used to say LeBron wouldn’t have a long career because all he can do is get to the basket and doesn’t have an outside shot

No shot Lebron shoots like that night in and night out. Except the free throw shooting

Lebron shot 45% from 3. Also played 37 mins. Neither of those are sustainable.

You're acting like this is some amazing feat for him. Did you watch the game? He coudln't take anyone off the dribble. When he tried, more times than not, he got the ball stolen, poked away, or dribbled it off his feet out of bounds.

He shot 45% from three point land. He will not sustain that. We know that. He didn't look all that impressive to me last night.

You just proved my point. That’s how high of a standard he’s held to

Some of you all can't even put aside your dislike for Lebron to even admit that he's probably the 2nd greatest of all-time.



That’s because he’s not, Larry Bird is
