Anyone catch the Kobe retirement? Lakers hosting the Warriors. Jeanie Buss, Lakers CEO, was talking to the crowd/ Kobe about loyalty, camera man then went straight to Kevin Durant. Cameraman the real mvp.

Yeah and then KD dropped 36 on the Lakers

Durant shot 10-29 and was bricking all night until the 4th, so let's be real here. He made all the clutch shots and won the game, no denying that though.

Trashcon, the majority of posters in this thread HATE the Lakers btw. I've been a fan for over 20 years and know our bandwagon/casual fans are a big reason why we get so much hate, but it is what it is at this point.

Lonzo's shot is a pretty big concern for me tbh, so I hope he can figure it out or alter it if need be. Love everything else he brings to the court though (passing, rebounding, defense, bball iq/decision making, court vision, etc.)

I got to see the Lakers/Sixers game at Staples last month. What a fun night. I really like the directions both organizations are heading in and I hope a genuine rivalry develops between the 2.

(Tobey, I agree with PAWL and weedpop's breakdown of the Okafor situation, but I think the Sixers could've gotten a better deal for him too. Dude looks out of shape though. I wish D-Lo/Okafor the best on the Nets and hope they reach their potentials there).

Sorry for the rant, everybody. I need a place to talk bball, even if so many of you despise my beloved Lakers.

Fair enough, Lakers are looking promising with the talent they're building on. Ingram is coming into his own and becoming a great weapon on offense, also agree with everything you said about Lonzo, not the biggest fan of his family and their antics but he's seems like a good enough guy and has a lot of potential. Also congrats to Kobe for his achievement tonight dude is a once in a generation talent and deserves his numbers hanging in the rafters.

The fact that he's shooting a lot better now is a good sign. He was aggressive and scored some big buckets in OT.

Nothing I love more than spending the day watching Christmas games. First look at Cleveland this year and Love was lethal from outside, can't imagine the powerhouse that team is gonna be when I.Thomas is running point.

Well, there goes Boogies Achilles.

Too late for a Christmas miracle? Was looking forward to the all star game.

When it's torn, it's torn. He's definitely out for the season no matter what, but hopefully the MRI shows a light-ish tear.

Poor Boogie after him and AD were really starting to mesh too.

Beeda Weeda · « **Reply #2829 on:** January 29, 2018, 06:35:51 AM »

that sucks about damarcus cousins, its pretty unlikely he'll ever be the same player ever again, considering his body and playing style.
also, the raptors are creeping up on the Celtics.

foureyedjim · « **Reply #2830 on:** January 29, 2018, 08:24:26 AM »

Celtics kept it real close agains the Warriors, I'm not too worried for them.

Oh, and now Roberson is out for the season. So many fucking injuries.

Silky Johnson · « **Reply #2831 on:** January 29, 2018, 04:20:08 PM »

Blake Griffin to the Pistons for Avery Bradley, Tobias Harris, Marjanovic and some picks. All this talk about being loyal to a franchise and these teams are over here trading star players at will.

Sounds like current and ex Clippers are tired of Doc Rivers. Maybe Griffin will be in a better environment and with a team that can potentially make it past the second round? Combination of Griffin and Drummond can make some serious damage in the East.

Eh, who knows. These moves are probably being directed by Jerry West anyways.

Detroit sold the farm to make 8th place in the east. I don't understand why that team isn't better.They have soo much talent, and a really good coach.

tobey · « **Reply #2835 on:** January 31, 2018, 05:54:45 AM »

Harden looking like a 2k my career player, 60 points triple double.

Also I wonder who is going to replace Love in the All Star game?

BallDontLie · « **Reply #2836 on:** January 31, 2018, 03:34:26 PM »

^^ He also had a pretty efficient shooting night ...

I think it comes Down to Simmons, Kemba Walker, and Dragic For that all star spot.

Trashcon · « **Reply #2837 on:** February 02, 2018, 12:30:32 AM »

Who do y'all have for mvp so far?

brent · « **Reply #2838 on:** February 02, 2018, 12:32:42 AM »

derrick rose

Silky Johnson · « **Reply #2839 on:** February 02, 2018, 01:06:40 AM »

Giannis, but since his team isnt a top seed in the east I'll doubt they'll give it to him.

AsianVegan · « **Reply #2840 on:** February 03, 2018, 06:15:11 PM »

Harden for sure

Silky Johnson · « **Reply #2841 on:** February 03, 2018, 06:29:28 PM »

His highlight reel is gonna be all FTS

Over this season, Cavs looked great for a hot minute and have been trash since. Not sure what the problem is (age, injuries, Lebron over it) but it's getting me ready for them sucking again

I'd say Lou back to the Rockets to help them get that #1 seed.
