Season starts tonight with Knicks and Celtics followed by Lakers and TWolves.

Will history be made early in the 2nd game?

Durant with the brick at the buzzer. Phoenix had a shot there against Memphis. I hate how teams live or die with taking deep contested threes with the game on the line now. They were down 2 so they could've tried getting to the lane and either tying it or kicking it out to an open man. Or getting free throws. Nope. Not these days. Just jack up your 50th three and hope for the best.

****ing oof.

Thats a BRUTAL loss.

Lebron or no Lebron, you just can't lose to the Nets.

Goodwin and Vincent did their best to drag LA through it but Reaves and Luka weren't havi n' it. Credit to Luka for trying to find other ways to contribute but man if you're shooting like that you just cannot keep chucking.

He knows - we ALL know - that his shot is flat right now. And so if that shot is off, it's gonna stay off. His margin for error is just way too small when he can't get his legs under him.

I heard that the Warriors win over the nets meant nothing because the nets were actively tanking. So I'm sure the Lakers loss to them means nothing either... or something.

In actuality, it all means nothing, it’s mid-March.

Which is why you’re going to see the Lakers being overly cautious with LeBron’s injury.

I don't think the Nets are trying to tank. They tried to take it the Warriors last week and couldn't win down the stretch of that game. The Nets also tried to take it to the Lakers.

Remember this is a pro Lebron/Lakers thread. All other teams are 2nd best.

Curry about to top 4000 3pointers tonight. Almost a 1000 more then the next guy with less games played. He really has changed the game.

You are reallying going to have to reach for LeBron content over the next few weeks.

May I suggest going undercover to find Bronny doing young blood transfusions to LeBronzo.

Dont die.

LeBron rehab stories will still dominate ESPN discussion over any actual game OKC plays (and rightfully so)

Not worried

Pretty much. All I've seen social media is about Steven A calling Lebron a weak bitch.

Tough talk from the guy who cowered right in front of him when confronted by LeBron

Luka was too fat for Nico

Shooting 40% since joining the Lakers. And 4.2 turnovers a game.

Great win over the Nuggets who are missing Jokic and Murray.

Stellar game!

Big win for OKC too as it makes it more likely they’ll avoid Luka until the WCF, which they badly need to do.

Also, am I seeing double

No.

Just greatness.

Like the Thunder. I wake up in the morning and piss excellence.

'Bad' Luka is going for 27, 9 and 8. He's had 4.3 TOV/gm (vs his career average of 4) which is ultimately offset by the 1.9 steals/gm he's getting vs. his career average of 1.2.

Um...I can live with that.

This is what he does when he's playing poorly. I think the Lakers will be okay.
