I know MPJ is basically a rookie experience-wise, but man he's gotta not hurt them so much with the dumb shots. They already have 1 Barton, let's please not make it double.

brothertona · 02-16-2021, 09:00 PM

I wonder with Beal off the market likely that the Nuggets will make a play for Lavine. Lavine and Markannen for MPJ + Gary Harris and a couple of first rounders? Lavine, Murray, Markannen, Jokic is a pretty scary 4-some for the playoffs.

the amount of mileage being put on LeBron just to beat horrible teams has to be a concern for Lakers fans

I don't personally believe the Lakers will win the chip this year. tbh

Bol Bol was always fool's gold [albeit fun], but MPJ needs to be better than this. No Milsap, Harris, Barton, or Morris tonight and MPJ gets played for 24 minutes and then gets benched in crunchtime for Nnaji. I typically don't see eye-to-eye with Malone but hard to fault him for this one, MPJ looked awful aside from a few stretches.

I suppose it's possible he's still feeling a bit off from covid. I had it in late December and definitely didn't feel right for a few weeks. Tatum also mentioned something similar in a recent interview.

I merely mentioned this on r/nba today and after initially getting upvoted I think the Lakers stans found the comment because an hour later I was downvoted to oblivion, lol. The truth hurts

Yes! Keep pushing down the Bol Bol market. I'll be there to buy the bottom.

Zion is otherworldly. The rest of the players on the court are not the same. Love his vision and passing. Just unstoppable going to the rim.

The year is 2080... LeBron Topps Chrome rookies can only be bought and sold using the hottest crypto-currency, Panini-coin. Each PSA 10 costs more than the price it would be to buy a former Soviet Block country. There is no conversion to US Dollars, as it has been replaced as the world's standard currency, Luka Prizm Base. Robot-Gary Vee has finally given up on the Bol Bol pump... You've held your Lebron Chrome all this time and can finally flip it for 10,000 Bol Bol PSA 10 Prizm base... which is 5% of the Pop.

You're master plan has worked!

Totally...I love watching this kid play, and I like that they seem to be putting the ball in his hands more. If you don’t like watching Zion play, I’m sorry but I’d have to question if you even like basketball at all.

Catch me on an ep. of Hoarders if Bol Bol's Holo drops to $5 in the near future.

Those bubble gifs are already looking like a snack.

Lakers having trouble putting away the star duo of Anthony Edwards and Jarred Vanderbilt... Lebron took a couple Edwards knees to the chest with a couple minutes left to draw a charge and stop the Minny run... lol this is not sustainable.

I know he's nearly a demi-god, but he's going to get tired...eventually.

Yeah this will help his MVP candidacy but I can’t imagine he’s going to be ready for the playoffs at this rate. When AD eventually comes back they are definitely going to need to rest Bron down the stretch.

4 game skid for the Bucks.

Get that man outta Milwaukee.

tjforce · 02-16-2021, 10:29 PM

Good lord... the supporting cast in Milwaukee is looking bad...

Giannis just put up 34 pts, 10 rebs, 8 assists, 5 steals and 2 blocks in another loss.

No coincidence that the 4 game skid coincides with Jrue being out due to Covid. They probably at least split those games with him.

Prospectorsadvantage · 02-16-2021, 10:34 PM

Lebron is insane.

ninjacookies · 02-16-2021, 10:43 PM

Just hand LeWeave the Podoloff already.

If he sustains the lakeshow at .500 in AD's absence while every other star in the wc struggles with a 1b...it's giftwrapped.

Didn’t he just sign a Supermax?

I think their biggest concern should be how bad their supporting cast is. Without AD, they are barely a playoff team.

The Nets defense reminds me of the teams of 42 year olds that play pickup games at the YMCA.

I assume the Kuzma trade rumors will start soon.
