NBA Week 6 Thread - I'd rather anything than watch Jordan Poole

[Iceman!]

Lavine is a sunk asset, they won't get much for him. Caruso will only be valuable for a contender AKA Philly, Bucks and Lakers, and such won't get much for him except maybe a few expiring contracts and a couple of meh picks.

DDR is probably going to leave as a FA or retire as a Bull.

The Wizards have cleared up a lot of cap room, got a couple of nice young players and got most of their picks for the foreseeable future.

DC has a got a really bad coach tbh (maybe the worst in the NBA)

Once he is eventually fired, I can see a more competitive and watchable Wizards team.

The wizards have no one to build around, an awful contract leading the team, bad coach, no great assets and let’s be real no one is going to sign with them in the coming seasons. Basically they are right at the start of the rebuild. They might be in a better situation but it’s not by much.

The NBA's version of North Melbourne vs West Coast.

Should be a cracking game though Lakers might need AD turning up today

The game will probably run for more than 4 hours with all the fouls called and free throws awarded

But yes, there is a new steely resolve to Philly this season and LeBron has been a marvel to watch this season at his age and lack of quality support several times (AD has let him down a few times with his inconsistency)

They need a few of their lesser lights to a step up if they want to ring that bell in Philadelphia (D-Lo has been okay lately)

The sad thing is how much the Lakers STILL rely on Lebron.

Can't not love Maxey who will go close to one of the All Star sides not this year but next year. Nice to see Tobias Harris actually do something this year, feel this Harden trade is the best thing ever for Philly.

Many Lakers fans blame Ham for that (LBJ) playing so many minutes, but AD is so hot and cold, and if he struggles and LeBron is out/resting, the Lakers struggle (esp early this season, but Reaves is slowly getting his groove)

Schroeder has been balling for the Raptors this season, ditto Lonnie Walker for the Nets.

Don't think any of their replacements so far have been as good as they were for the Lakers, Dennis was absolutely going HAM in the playoffs last season.

They probably should trade for Lavine imo

yeah don't mind the Lavine idea though it better not cost them even more depth as you just said Schroder amoung others have been awesome this year

 

[peternorth]

Just hope to limit the margin damage in philly

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Nurse has got the Sixers playing suffocating defence on Lebron and LAL, aside from AD, no Lakers player has really had any easy offence good looks early (well D-Lo had an uncontested lay up)

Everyone is more shocked D-Lo didn't miss it

Lakers vs Philly. Battle of the free throw merchants

Pistons game is so hilarious

Sizers 8
Lakers 2

Maxey is dead set cheat code this year

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Lakers fairly lucky to only be down 15 at the half. Sixers shot lights out from downtown

 

[stewie griffen]

Ha

 

[Iceman!]

Still not perfect but Embiid has taken a huge step up again this year with his play making!

 

[Iceman!]

Jokic sitting the 2nd night of a back2back against a better team? Wow I expect DT35 is going to be outraged by that!

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Ham should sit LeBron for the rest of the game.

Lakers aren't coming back from this deficit. Sixers playing too good.

 

[DT_35]

Jokic (back) sitting out due to sore back from carrying bunch of plebs.

Also Jokic barely ever misses a game compared to Flopbiid Lmao.

AND he has one of these so can do whatever he wants
