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

Will history be made early in the 2nd game?

It was neat.

Thanks Dallas.

I hope he chokes on hookah and dies.

Or ingests a nad Bud Light and dies. Either way.

If the Lakers could either:

A) shoot better than 30% on their 3 point attempts or;
B) stop ****ing chucking them like rec ball players

That would be great.

19/29 from 2.

10/33 from three.

And they just keep chucking.

Knecht can’t even make a wide open dunk, kid is unplayable in the playoffs

11/38

Wolves now within 6.

They should probably miss more 3s.

He's been unplayable period for about 2 months.

He's just completely mind-****ed at this point.

Maybe one of the most gifted players in NBA history should be used to actually make plays.

Instead of just standing around waiting to cycle the ball and shoot a 3.

This is just bad offense.

Meanwhile that washed up Curry guy scored 56. Probably had a few 3’s in there.

Those irrelevant Warriors are 7-1 since the Butler trade.

Anyways back to the main topic of this thread: Lebron and the Lakers.

I'm rooting for the Warriors to make noise.

The TWolves, another team that Luka owns and OKC doesn’t

I give you Lakers and Wolves.

I get OKC.

To make NBA Finals.

I'll bet whatever amount you want.

I just feel for Dalton Knecht at this point.

I mean -- he has to feel like a dead man walking. He simply can't play in the playoffs.

And they WILL add another C this off-season. With his small contract making salary matching really easy, he's the OBVIOUS candidate to get moved. I mean, the fact that they already moved him once is pretty loud evidence of that.

Guy's just marking time and knows it. He can't play here now. He WON'T be playing here next season. So it's gotta be tough as hell to feel involved or part of the team. And a big reason he's so vulnerable defensively is precisely BECAUSE the Lakers don't have the rim protector that would make it harder to just attack him repeatedly.

They need a rim protection for him to be playable. But they're going to have to trade him to get the rim protection.

He’s gonna need to learn to catch and shoot more in this offense. He was so used to being the focal point of the team in Dallas that he was able to create his own chances. He’s playing with Lebron now so he’s gonna be getting a lot more open looks for him to catch and shoot. He’s gonna need to learn to be more efficient as the #2 guy now.
