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

Will history be made early in the 2nd game?

So in 20 years he had one bad game and another one where Dikembe Mutumbo literally broke his face.

Pretty consistent right there...

The greatest there ever was.

I mean it's obviously not as bad as Steph's 3 (and 2) this year, but it's not hard to find a game or two where lebron was lucky (or determined enough to not sit down) to get to 10. Like the wolves game in December.

I mean 9 points vs 10 is essentially dick. Or 8 for that matter.

But as a proxy for consistency, it's a pretty solid record.

Absolutely.

Wtf is going in with the Lakers? They are drilling 3s like the Warriors in their hayday.

[BWillie]

Two games in a row the Lakers tied their franchise record...ever...for 3FG made in a half.

What. The. Fk.

Lakers elected to play all their starters (in a game I figured they'd punt) and the Lakers have responded with a hilarious display of defensive indifference.

Fellas, when they say "they don't play defense in the NBA" -- show 'em this. THIS is what it looks like when "they don't play defense..."

They should have punted, they just need to beat Dallas tomorrow and Portland to get the 3rd seed.

Yeah - not sure why they didn't. I definitely would have.

He knows Silver is gutless at this point and won’t do anything this close to the playoffs

He’s a complete braindead dipshit. The kind you can’t fix

This ref just kicked Luka out of the game for talking to a fan
