<<{{Official 2019-2020 NBA Thread - the season returns July 31-October 12. }}>
One of the many reasons Laker fans are such pain in the asses.
Not as bad as Sixers fans.
Sixers fans need to just sit, shut up and wait to lose.
Rinse and repeat every season.
I can see that. After last year's performance against GS (valiant effort), people were speaking how they needed a superstar.
Acquiring Leonard (fresh of a championship) and PG, shot them up in the ranks of contenders.
However, the Lakers, picking up AD and Howard, I realized they were built for the deep run in the playoffs.
My biggest issue for the Lakers was KPC (x-factor), but he has obviously found a to fit in with this team. At the beginning of the season, he was horrible.
Fagget.
I said this last week if the Lakers can beat the Buck & Clippers with Lebron or AD being a key reason, they might gain a little room on the freak’s lead
Was Caruso hurt today? Why was Rondo getting so many minutes after a very solid game from Caruso friday?
Wyclef needs to stfu.
They haven't
It's a situation where they're trying to sit in victimhood lol
Every thing is literally a coronation and they make up boogey men to keep it going
Literally top in the west all year covered favorably
Somehow the pundits haven't said the Lakers are the favorites lolololol
Straight lies.
Period.
Kawhi Leonard isnt the defensive stalworth he once was. Prime Kawhi in San Anton was a dog and took DPOY twice. Clipper Kawhi is stronger on offense than defense.
Nah, he just has a lot bigger workload and expectations. In San Anton he didnt have to get 20 every night and could focus more on defense. If he scored 16 points had a couple steals and blocks that was a great game for him. Now that wont cut it for this team, he has to do a lot more so his D has slipped.
He’s definitely not healthy.
Kawhi has never been healthy or durable at any point in his career. He's just not a workhorse and never will be. Still a great player but his individual body of work is garbo because of it.
The Clipps should be the favorite. Yes there’s a couple of different players but the nucleus of the team that beat the Warriors two games with the Big 3 last year is still there. And they picked up Kawhi and Playoffless P.
Of course they’re expected to do big things and be the favorite!
Yeah the Lakers have Lebron but we don’t know why AD’s gonna bring in the playoffs?
With that said, betting sites always have had the Lakers listed highly on the odds to win the championship.
This dude....
He won't ever be imo
Nah it's not an excuse
He can't play every day
He's not healthy
For all the credit he got last year he had a team of elite players to help him through lol
Siakim scoring and doing his thing was a huge reason why they were good last year and why they're still good this year
He just isn't healthy and it should be concerned
Also paul George hasn't played enough to judge
Beverly just ain't that good lol
Never has been
You cats just liked when he'd grab hold kick and do dirty shit to a certain player
I checked the games person season he’s not lauded and you’re right.
He's never played over 75 games in a season I believe, year 9 he has 1 career triple double, less than 10K career points. Just the last 3 years alone he done missed over 110 games.
Neither will George
