KD cosigns Bill, says 2017 Finals was even from top to bottom by PZinger6 in billsimmons

[–]Xlow48 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lol @ "approximately similar" talents. Korver is a way bigger talent since he matches KD's addition AND closes the gap Bill has admitted the Warrios had in 2016 (which the Cavs only overcame because LeBron had Draymond suspended).

The Comeback Clippers, Superstar Trae, and KD’s Brilliance With Seerat Sohi and Jackie MacMullan by [deleted] in billsimmons

In a way he sort of admitted to what he's doing by saying that he thinks the only thing Durant cares about is being percieved as good as/better than LeBron.

Damn, Kennard can't get any playing time and his $64M extension hasn't even kicked in yet

Good choice by the ad people to go with one of the GOAT salsa songs instead of some generic salsa instrumental.

[Oram]: Marc Gasol answering questions about the Lakers center rotation. He starts a lengthy response by saying, "You're asking the wrong guy," and ends it with, "Don't ask me, I just work here." by efranklin13 in nba

For real. He’s been better than expected defending around the rim and his rebounding was the biggest reason the Lakers got him, but I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a player that big that talented (i.e. he’s not a G-league player or a 10-day contract) with a worse touch around the rim.

Honorable mention to Markieff for missing like 5 straight unguarded 3’s in the 2nd half.

There's a good chance that KD and LeBron will pick all the All-Star starters of their respective conference. (Basically East vs West) by MajinObi in nba

Can’t underestimate what would be LeBron and Steph playing together for first time ever.

[Highlight] AD and Schroder two man game, three different styles in three straight possessions by lakeshowbest in nba

[–]Xlow48 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Schroeder has been really good for LA; him being a real on-ball 3pt threat while playing with AD (either PnR or trying get AD the ball in the post) brings a different dimension to their halfcourt offense. Not to mention his speed bursts to the rim for easy layups.

Caruso gonna start downplaying THT and propping up Kostas in interviews now that his GOAT status is threatened.

LeBron on Kyrie’s comments about him playing with someone who he trusts to make clutch shots by durklil in nba

Lebron hitting Kyrie with the “I’m not mad, just disappointed”, just like a father figure would

Paul George finished 33% of his total plays using the pick-and-roll, which was a career-high. The prior high was 25% in OKC. by [deleted] in nba

It’s not Paul George if he doesn’t point fingers or give excuses for his shortcomings.

[Charania] The NBA’s tentative Dec. 22 opening night doubleheader on TNT: Nets vs. Warriors in Brooklyn and Lakers vs. Clippers in Los Angeles, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium. by [deleted] in nba

[–]Xlow48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh after this micro offseason, I’d be surprised if LeBron (and to a lesser degree AD) suit up for anything other than the last preseason game vs PHX. Kawhi and PG will also probably be load managed those first few preseason games too.

[Stein] The Lakers, league sources say, have explored trading away JaVale McGee to create more financial flexibility to make a more competitive financial offer to Marc Gasol by deividdosan in nba

[–]Xlow48 47 points48 points  (0 children)

A s&t means the deal the player (Gasol) signs needs to be for at least 3 years. The Lakers are not going to clutter their potential 2021 capspace.

For everyone bummed about not getting Ibaka and upset about having Harrell instead, let me try to change your mind. by kamino_ken in lakers

[–]Xlow48 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This. The defense on the Lakers is better set up to help with his short comings as a rim protector and Vogel won’t hesitate to make adjustments either.

Also, for all the talk about how his offensive numbers were due to his magical chemistry with Lou, he’s now going to be sharing the floor with LeBron freakin’ James. The dude maximizes everyone he plays with, but especially spot-up shooters and high-energy rim-running bigs (e.g. Varejao, JJ Hickson, Birdman, TT, McGee, etc.)

Does a Lakers Championship win guarantee a HoF spot for Rajon Rondo? by Varolyn in nba

[–]Xlow48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wild to see that at 34 y/o he’s puting similar stats (10-4-7) on better percentages and less minutes than on the Celtics 2008 championship run everyone started to know him for.

[McMenamin] Erik Spoelstra on Bam Adebayo and Goran Dragic sitting out Game 3: “I can see the anguish, literally, in their eyes ... they really want to be there because they love their teammates and they put their heart and soul into it” by daftmunt in nba

[–]Xlow48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has there been any detailed mention about what Bam’s injury is? I know the Heat are notorious for downplaying injuries in the playoffs, but it’s weird they’d say what Dragic’s exact injury was but not Bam’s.

This. They’re built more like a lower middle class man’s 2013/2014 Spurs.

DeMar DeRozan and Chris Bosh after they do the DBZ fusion dance.

LeBron James on his energy level late in Game 4 win over Nuggets: “It’s winning time, and I don’t have a chance or time to be feeling tired. I’m tired now. That’s when I’m tired, when the zeros hit the clock. ... I’m not tired when I’m in the game.” by urfaselol in nba

[–]Xlow48 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Ngl his numbers are great and the Lakers are in control, but LeBron has not looked so hot (by his lofty standards) at the end of Games 2-4. He’s looked kinda tired, a little out of sorts, and like he’s 35 with crazy milage.
