By Kabro Go To PostLakers playing all these trash teams, or….
Or Lakers are really that good. 🤔
The Spurs are the consensus best team of the last 20 years, and we beat them by 10, so...

By Branduil Go To Postcapela and doncic? i would have to become a suns fan. good thing that didn't happen.
Man, r/NBA is chockfull of insecure AF Lakers fans, may have to unsubscribe
They think since the Spurs beat Kawhi last night it suddenly means their team is no longer 0-1 against him

By DY_nasty Go To PostI'll take Kristaps if yal don't want himNah, he's ours :). He might not be scoring, but his defense has been surprising. He's also rebounding better. Grabbed some big man boards last night.
I despise <player> stans and it makes me not even want to follow my favorite team-related Twitter accounts. *sigh*
By rodeoclown Go To PostWhen am I allowed to give up on Jarrett Culver?Fourth season.
Asking for myself.
By domino Go To PostReal fans give up on a trash rookie before the season startsThe Dy standard is the only way to live by
By domino Go To PostReal fans give up on a trash rookie before the season starts
I gave up before we picked him
I'm just saying, I don't even really see glimpses Culver can go. He's slow, he's not athletic, his handle is bad, he can't shoot. I was trying to dig into the numbers for signs of life, but it's been a pretty grim two months for him.
They should Adreian Payne him and unload him before the rest of the league catches up.

watched the hawks game. trae is very fun to watch but people who say "luka and trae are both bad at defense" are clearly not watching the games. Luka is not good but Trae is horrendous.
This Melo story is fun, but I will not apologize since he's mostly doing this on some unsustainable midrange shooting. His free throw rate is about where it's been the last two years, so I think he's gonna come back to Earth eventually.
By Kawhic Go To Postwatched the hawks game. trae is very fun to watch but people who say "luka and trae are both bad at defense" are clearly not watching the games. Luka is not good but Trae is horrendous.Speaking of Luka... he gets mad FTs for a guy whose 72% of his shots as jumpers... It is what it is but Euro Harden is a reality

His free throw rate is about where it's been the last two years, so I think he's gonna come back to Earth eventually.The main thing I noticed is that melo seems quicker compared to the last 2-3 years. Also he is getting guys involved and going inside more.
By unknown Go To PostThe main thing I noticed is that melo seems quicker compared to the last 2-3 years. Also he is getting guys involved and going inside more.he had years off. he better look fresh
but if he's still hooping well into feb i'll be shocked
By jjasper Go To Postwe are always competing lol
Tank in full force now

By Branduil Go To Post???he has 363 FGA
https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/d/doncilu01/shooting/2020
262 of them have been jumpers
By blackace Go To Posthe has 363 FGAI think the problem is they define his running floaters in the 3-10ft range as "jump shots" which, I mean, I guess it's technically true, but that's not really what people think of as jump shots. Nearly all of his non-3PA come from driving into the lane and attacking the basket.

22% of his shots fall in the category of might be a floater. Again Euro Harden is quite suitable
By Red Blaster Go To Postpj washington has roy locked up nowI would never put such a hex on your team y u do dis
Wow, the Nuggets didn't even score 40 points in the 2nd half including OT.
By blackace Go To Post22% of his shots fall in the category of might be a floater. Again Euro Harden is quite suitableIf he starts flopping like Harden, sure. Right now Harden is shooting 56% on 2PA, but taking 14 FTA a game. Luka is shooting 63% on 2PA and taking 10 FTA a game.

By blackace Go To PostLuka is 3rd in the NBA in FTA after American Harden and the Greek FreakWell yeah all 3 guys are MVP candidates who attack the basket a lot. Those kinds of players get fouled a lot. That doesn't mean they play exactly the same or pull the same tricks as Harden. You wouldn't call Giannis the "Mediterranean Harden."
Of course not, he doesn't shoot 3s so doesn't have the opportunity to flop on them for cheap free throws.
By Kibner Go To PostOf course not, he doesn't shoot 3s so doesn't have the opportunity to flop on them for cheap free throws.Giannis is taking 5 3PA per game this year.
I mean, Luka does play like Harden, I've heard both the Mavs and Rockets casters call him a "right handed Harden".
Lots of stepback threes, barely any midrange, lots of floaters, lots of swinging his arms into other players to draw fouls etc etc, he's not as flagrant as Harden with the foul baiting but it's there for sure lol.
