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

Does anyone really care about the tournament?

The Warriors certainly seemed to the other night.

Ugh…why. Probably wouldn’t have gotten the calll. But Redish?

How about setting up his teammates up for wide open shots only for them to miss them instead?

Lebron got wide open looks 3 straight times

Austin reaves missed 3
Austin reaves missed 3
Cam reddish missed 3 #nohelp

Yet another great performance (30-4-3 on 13-23 shooting) ruined by the scrubs around him.

Lebron made the right decision but don’t like Reddish taking that shot. But what do I know

Even Reddish should be able to make a wide open corner three at a decent clip. But yeah, they might want to put better players out there.

Nah you want the open man taking the shot. Cam Reddish has just always been dog shit. Not sure why he was even on the floor. One of the most inefficient offensive players in the league. A waste of ability.

2024 Los Angeles Lakers through 7 games:

+53 with LeBron ON court
-77 with LeBron OFF court

Lifted from somewhere else but it's hilariously accurate.

At the end of the day Lebron is as close to a Faustian bargain as you can get in sports.

He will get you a chip, and if you're lucky, maybe two: but he will bleed all of your assets for a decade in the hostage negotiation to get him to come and stay (and he won't stay), and the worst part is he'll bitch about not having help on the way out after ransacking a clubs assets to make his LeGM team - see Cleveland, Miami, and Cleveland.

KC_Connection · 11-07-2023, 09:01 AM

I only wish all of that were true but unfortunately it is not. If it was, he’d have already left this garbage Lakers team far before now and we wouldn’t be left watching the GOAT wasting his final years of great performances surrounded by Cam Reddish.

5 possessions to score a bucket last night after drawing to within 1 with 2 minutes left - came up dry on all five.

LBJ -- Missed 3
LBJ -- Offensive Foul
Reaves -- Missed 3
Reaves -- Missed 3
Reddish -- Missed 3.

That's just really bad offensive basketball. 4 missed three pointers (in a 1-point game) and an offensive foul. ****ing yuck.

Someone's gotta put one of those home and if nobody's feeling it from beyond the arc, draw up something different.

And Davis no-showed it. Dammit its frustrating when he does that. Clearly just comes into the ballgame with no intention of asserting himself at all. Just kinda floats around and hopes for some cheap rebounds or easy put-back buckets. And usually finds some soft tissue injury to beg out of the game with and of course last night was no different.

James played well, Reaves is coming back around and had a nice game as well. If Davis gives even an 80% effort they win that one by 6-8 points but he just couldn't be bothered.

If that's a play you're going to draw up, draw it up for Prince.

Reddish is pretty much the exact wrong guy on the floor to be taking that shot.

umm that is what I said. Decision to pass was correct, not the right shooter on the floor though to take that shot.
