Spurs didn't come out playing well. Don't know if they were feeling themselves a bit like they did during that Knicks game last year and were caught off guard by Houston's intensity, but they should have known better, especially for an in-state rival. Rockets get credit for coming out ready to play. They did, Spurs didn't.
Spurs seem to be rebounding a bit tonight against the Nuggets.

Wade & Bosh looking real approachable right now for Lebron after these past two games.

Steph Curry is "hurting the game" of basketball because kids are going to try and be like him and practice their shooting. Mark Jackson, ladies and gentlemen.

It isn't that bad when you read the whole quote https://twitter.com/MarkJackson13/status/680808483998924800
Honestly the only way he's hurting the game is that he and his team are abusing the 3 point line
3 point line is a mistake, never been a big fan of it

I read the whole quote. It's still dumb as hell. Why is it bad for the game that kids will want to emulate the greatest shooter ever? Shooting is a fundamental skill and having more good shooters in the league will only make it better. Was the league better off when kids were trying to emulate Allen Iverson's AND1 crossover ISO game?

LMFAO Phoenix Suns....
Congrats man, nice to see that the nightmare may be over for the 76ers. Huge admirer of the franchise here (I'm a Laker fan).
What do you Philly fans think you guys need to go for the contending mindset again? Curious because I don't know the team inside and out.
On another note, there's this girl from Philly who's in my classes, she's dreamy and so smart....
...And this has nothing to do with basketball.

Simmons can stay in purple and gold.

Also, this.
We'll be actively trying probably next year. Well have about 3-4 first round picks in the draft, and also have Saric and possibly Embiid coming,who if he can be healthy is a difference maker. That means well be deep and actually have a bench which is not the case this year
That will obviously be dependent on the quality of the picks. I honestly think you guys need to move some more players before next season because I don't see the current pieces ever fitting together.

Man, almost 4 picks in the draft. I would absolutely be in agony if we lose the pick, but at least it's going to you guys and not the Celtics, Blazers, or Kings (fuck all those teams).
this would probably be the year to lose it since it's top 3 protected
I dont see why any superstar would want to go to the Lakers next year, and losing the 4th pick in a draft that's really only 2 players deep isnt that big of a deal
It isnt protected next year, so if they suck next year in a draft that's loaded with guard talent it could be bad, like a Nets situation this year. This years draft outside of Simmons and Ingram isnt all that good

Yeah, it needs to start next year. Hopefully try to land Ben Simmons (but with my pessimistic sixers mindset i'm not counting on it) and try to land some free agents with all of the money they've been saving by only signing d-league talent. We saw tonight what can happen when they have a decent point guard on the roster. Now we just need to sign more actual NBA talent. Looking forward to Saric coming over, and Embiid I am expecting to never suit up for us. Tonight also confirmed for me that Noel and Okafor can't play at the same time. Noel needs to play Center. I think one of the three big men will be traded. I want to see what Brett Brown can do with an actual NBA roster.
Seriously, Andrew Bynam has ruined any hype and excitement over landing people who will actually be good for us, expecting injured players to actually come back, and anything ever positive happening to the Sixers. I've been desensitized by him.
Okafor and Noel can play on the same team, they'll be helped a lot by the fact that Ish can create a little bit. We havent seen them have an NBA level PG all year
We'll see, but im still confident they can rock together

Yeah I'm hoping that helps. I really like both players so I hope I'm wrong.

Oh, I still definitely want to get that first pick, over pretty much anything else. Ben Simmons is worth shooting to get.

Man what happened to the Suns? That team made my NBA days easier back when the C's sucked really hard, I just loved watching them even if it didn't result even in a Finals trip.

Sounds like stuff Byron Scott would say as well. Can't believe Lakers fans think either dudes will lead them back to relevancy

So why are the Lakers keeping a coach who could potentially have the worse W-L ratio as a Lakers coach in the history of the franchise.
Sometimes the Lakers franchise can be too loyal to their respected players.
Tanking bro
to have someone to fire at the end of the season wtf is this lol

Anybody played in the Kobe X elite highs, trying to decide between those and the lebron 13 Christmas.

Fair point but the Lakers will probably trade their pick for an All-star caliber player like DeMar DeRozan.
Do it Jim! Do it Mitch!
Most informed Lakers fans think the opposite.
The FO will evaluate him at the end of the season.
That would be pretty horrible.
Sixer's already own it
That doesn't prevent a trade in the case the Lakers keep the pick.
Why would you trade a top 3 pick for Derozen?
Which is why I said that scenario would be horrible lol. I don't think he was being serious with that trade.

Unless the blazers make it to playoffs then i agree.
Game was fucking awesome. 34-12 after the first quarter. Allen Crabbe 14 pt quarter, 26 career high for the game. Everyone contributed, Lillard out. LeBron with only 12 points, with 3 of em coming from free throws he had no business getting. Amazing game. Even Chris Kaman came in and was balling.

I have the Kobe X Elite lows, I absolutely love them. I'm biased though, I think Kobe Basketball shoes are the best (I own three pair and will buy the Kobe 11's when they come out).
