Can't believe the NBA Season is starting tonight. Way to early but here we go.

Lakers vs Nuggets: 6:30PM

Suns vs Warriors: 9PM

Both on TNT

Somebody please bench LeBron in the 2nd half of this one, it’s our only chance

[chiefzilla1501]

I have nothing against New Orleans but their players just bother me

Ingram and his iso ball
McCollum with his inconsistency
And for some reason Zion … maybe because he has so much talent and hype that he just seems a little meh

Doomed.

The hype is real but he is made of glass.

The Lakers win and therefore, their season is officially over now they'll get destroyed by Denver in Round 1.

This is the reward they get for being the 7 seed instead of the 8 seed. Great job with the seeding NBA!

LeBron has now won 9 consecutive “Do or Die” games, over the last 15 years (Game 7s & Play-Ins).

(It’s 12-0 if you include the In Season Tournament!)

His last loss in one of those games was 2008 at Boston, at age 23, when he had 45-5-6 in a 5 point loss.

How was that game 'do or die'?

And elimination games he's lost along the way are not?

That's...dumb. They lose today, they still play another game. It was most assuredly not 'do or die'. In fact, losing the game was the only shot they had at actually doing anything meaningful this post-season. And in those elimination games they lost (Denver, for instance) it was as do or die as they get - lose and go home. He lost. He went home.

That's just a completely made up 'stat'. And then to try to include the stupid damn play-in tournament to goose it demonstrates just how silly it is.

That said - well shit. Season's over in 5 games.

Jokic is just too damn good.

[KC_Connection]

Should be 4, I think. Jokic won’t let them have a game and they can’t stop him/Jamal.

Always a good day when the fraud Warriors have their season ended. The dynasty is officially over.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Draymond and Klay getting sonned in the 9‐10 game is exactly what they deserve.

Can't wait to see Klay toil away for the Hornets next year.

Not fraud. They have rings. Klay is finished and Chris Paul is a worthless sack of shit. What really did them in was wasting that pick on that no talent sack of shit James Wiseman. Wiseman never wanted to be a Warrior or an NBA player.

Eh, Jokic isn't a psycho that needs to sweep every series. This feels like a Gentlemen's sweep. Lakers win one of their home games and go down fairly easily otherwise.

I don't hate most of the Warriors but man do I ever despise Draymond Green. And Klay's been a bit of a churlish shitweasel for awhile now.

Yeah - I can live with that.

Playing the nuggets when the lakers are fresh is actually their only possible chance of beating them

The healthier lebron is the better chance they have even if it is miniscule
