They not even playing Robinson. I do not understand that at all. They better trade him before they fuck his value up.
Somebody trolling the fans. It honestly feels like for the past 10 years someone is trolling that fanbase with some of the moves made.Fuckin organization has no sense of direction
24 free throws? Refs doing the work for him lol. That’s a ugly ass stat line and I’m not watching no game with niggas shooting like that.
They’re playing Robinson. He averages 5 fouls a game. If he could reel in the silly ones he commits he could stay on the court longer
I mean, stat wise yes... but has anyone been popped for any PEDs? I think you could make the comparison, but this is a different game being played than when Wilt was playing...
I hope they aren't using PEDs because I'm rather enjoying this explosion of scoring. I don't wanna go back to 92-88 games being the norm.. Seeing a team explode for 150 points is entertaining.
I really feel like one of these guys could touch Wilt's single game scoring record at this point.

Yes. Its garbage.
World B Free was a volume shooter and has a better percentage. My favorite player the Iceman led the league in scoring and is over 50% for his career.
Hardens game is homosexual and if he played in the 70's they would have beat his ass for that shit. Bitch looks like a ballerina out there.
Ah gotcha.
I was just going by the 43% you mentioned.
In their primes these guys have shot much better then that.
Kobe wasn't a 43% shooter until post injury Kobe
I never even said Kobe shot 43%.
I said 43% is low to all these other guys... Except for Kobe.
Come on man we all know Kobe's FG% isnt what it should have been. Its not a diss, its what it is.
2 years ago: "The East is weak as fuck, 8 straight Finals deserves an asterisk, cuz that made it easy to do"
This year: "Lakers have faced a weak schedule"
Bron goin to the Lakers ended Western Conference bias on this board and in general. I see dudes who use to be only about the West for years biggin up Philly and the Bucks now.
On court, Jimmy always brings it. He leads by example
I'm actually surprised they're giving showing the Nuggets a little respect by saying the Lakers finally have a "valuable win". As far as Lebron "running over the West",
This ain't the "West" everybody was talking about. Lebron is not having to face the Lakers and Kobe, Spurs and Tim, or even more present day, Steph and the Warriors. Him being dominant in the West is an argument that he'll never win so just let it be.

Dude has a rep for being a locker room trouble maker though
That’s true, but when the Sixers were in the playoffs last year I forgot he was on the team.
The ballet as in his hands in the final lasts seconds if they needed buckets so I can’t take that away from him.
Yes but at the same token, he has issues with pussy ass teammates that don’t try hard!
Calm down... I've addressed this at least 3 times before you quoting me again... go back and read.
The problem is he is dominating the West and is the biggest star in the conference. He was ASG captain last year and will more than likely be it again. He shouldnt be putting up the same numbers he has his whole career in the East against "tougher" comp every night in the West. The Lakers and Kobe didnt have a winning record this decade, facing them wasnt special and he retired 4 years ago. Tim been retired 4 years now as well. Steph and the Warriors are in last place. This is the same West yall was braggin bout the last 3 years. Only difference is the Dubs fell off and the Lakers got a lot better.
This shit is not entertaining to me at all. None of these bastards wanna play defense. Very few at least anyway. Horrible shots are being taken at an alarming rate
The only people still saying shit like that are just Lebron Haters. Me personally, I'm far past that. I wish him the best. It's only fuck Lakers because I'm a Nuggets fan. That's it.

So you think this era will not be looked back at fondly compared to the high scoring eras of the past?
Yeah but I see some games he don’t even start. Maybe it’s done to save him from fouls but I’m not seeing it.
West still deeper than the East. Even more so now I don’t know what you going on about.2 years ago: "The East is weak as fuck, 8 straight Finals deserves an asterisk, cuz that made it easy to do"

That’s a ugly ass playing backcourt....they play ugly as shit.Westbrook went 7 for 30. Shit is fuckin ridiculous man.
I think he starts and sits based on matchups. This new emphasis on analytics is killing how the game is played
Naw man, I'm over 40 and remember ball back then. World B Free was one of my favs coming up. These modern cats on some next level shit. World wasn't jacking up 30 footers on a regular basis and hitting over 30 percent. Gervin sure couldn't do it either.
But hey, I remember in the 80s older cats straight shitting on Magic, Jordan, etc and talking that back in the 60s shit. Damn, the hate Jordan got was unreal. In 20 years, these skinny jean cats will be 40-50 talking about the golden era of Harden.
I just can't even hate on these cats. You have to check them at half court. Shit's crazy.
I fuckin can't stand it. The shot selection is pure trash. It's like they playin real life 2k.
You can look at it. But the fact that the league put in that stupid ass rule giving you only 14 seconds on the shot clock after an offensive rebound obviously gives teams more possessions which will drive up the scoring. And very few players even practice the art of a successful box-out anymore. I just hate alotta these soft niggas nowadays I really do. A Mosses Malone, Kevin Willis, Buck Williams or Otis Thorpe would scare the shit outta these today niggas.
Before the season they rated Jokic over Embiid. As a Nuggets fan I do not agree and this video explains my exact thoughts as to why. How can Joker be better when Embiid is also a force on offense and WAY better defensively. There's 2 ends to a basketball court, you should be effective on both and now everybody is seeing why Jokic is not a damn superstar. He's struggling offensively and not making up for it on defense. MVP's need to be able to do both
