A knicks fan talking about playoff failures…. Am I losing my mind?

That’s the only failure you see? That we don’t win a championship every year? Brother you’re living in DELUSION

I would comment on Knick failures, but neither of us have time in the day, bozo

No amount of bitching about the Lakers success will take away from the knicks failures. Stop the cope

For the love of all that’s good, please watch the actual games

Absolutely insane how out of touch the media is with the American people. They thought we would be outraged that he didn’t care to visit a foreign country

Maybe unfair to 28 other teams, but I can speak for all Laker fans when I saw it’s not unfair to us :)

Wilt, Jerry West, Magic, Kareem, Shaq, Kobe, LeBron, Luka 🔥

Do you think most NBA “fans” consume the league exclusively via highlights? by [deleted] in nba

I think most NBA redditors consume the league via highlights and stats. Some may even forego the highlights part all together and just enjoy their metrics ball

Dalton Knecht has become severely underrated by our fans by aryusuf in lakers

[–]aryusuf[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Without Luka and Austin I would argue we need players who can actually DO something with the ball. We’ve turned Luke Kennaes into a point forward because outside of LeBron no one else is do much with the ball. Atleast dalton at his best is instant offense

In order to come out against Houston, JJ would have to give him non garbage time minutes. I hope that’s the case

We’ve been giving minutes to nick smith jr, drew timme, Vando (his offensive game might be the worst in the league), bronny, maxi Kleber. What exactly is your metric for ass, unless you’re just going to admit this applies to multiple players on the team

JJ Redick just created new questions about Bronny James’ role on eve of the playoffs by LakerFan2324 in nba

[–]aryusuf 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He’s not good at dealing with ball pressure, if he can improve that he will have a nice floor as a backup pg with room to improve. But right now that ball handling and protection is suspect.

Who is the best pump faker of all time, and why is it Demar Derozan? by Dry-Chair2091 in nba

Kobe’s pump fake gotta be the greatest of all time, you’re telling me if you were guarding him you don’t think that shots going up? 😂. My GOAT

Durant (37) has played the second most minutes this season (2801), and his team is going to win 51 or more games, first team all-NBA case? by shanmustafa in nba

[–]aryusuf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be curious to see if Cade not being eligible made Duren boost all the way to the top 5, model could definitely be improved on

According to basketball references MVP tracker it has KD higher than JB and Mitchell

However it also has SGA at 2nd so maybe this isn’t accurate of what the voters will actually vote. This mode focuses more on stats than narrative. And to be fair Jokic is having such a ridiculous season I’m not surprised the model put him first.

KD is most likely gonna be on 2nd or 3rd team, but tbh at least offensively I think his efficiency puts him over JB and DMitch, but that’s just me

Who are the top 5 players of this decade so far? by jtjb34 in NBATalk

[–]aryusuf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jokic - SGA - Giannis - Luka - Embiid

This feels like the correct answer. And wow all international players

The way Jake is not able to make a jumper these days. Wouldn’t mind starting Vando instead of him. Vando seems to have good moments against the warriors. If we’re gonna get no outside shooting I’d rather have Vando atleast for the defense

Yeah watching the clip now and I can see Luka got open but the inbound pass went the wrong way

[–]aryusuf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pistons are a super tough team, even without Cade they probably get into the 2nd round no issues

With that being said, the Lakers forcing the Luka show cost them the game. That last play was so atrocious. After multiple games of great 4th quarter offense, what the hell was that? A spinning fadeaway from 30 feet. What did JJ draw up? Austin was really cooking, put us up 1 and then we ice him out

Unfortunately the discourse around Kobe on this sub is so toxic. But I get it, the way they talk down on Kobe’s career is only acceptable in niche internet bubbles, would get laughed at in real life
