Spurs lose good day

 

[Silkworm]

Billy Donovan's first regular season NBA victory with hopefully many more to come! Miss you Billy, but wish you nothing but success in the NBA.

Go Gators! Go OKC!

 

[Gully State]

strange lapse in execution by the Spurs. First they don't lineup correctly then Danny Green takes a fuckball shot. That's something you would've expected out of OKC

 

[RELAYER]

KD 6 for 19???
Did he finally get a girlfriend or something?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Decent win for the Bulls, I think even Hoiberg was in double figures.

 

[Line_HTX]

I'm guessing Spurs/Thunder is season opening fuckball.

:Jnc

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Nice gesture by the Lakers wearing Flip shirts during shootaround.

All of his girlfriends belong to Lil B

No idea, but it's the first game. Sucks that Kawhi balls for a career high and it is wasted by a stupid play.

Also not all that impressed with West tonight. Diaw was more active than he was on the boards. Think it'll take some time, but I'm pleased with the effort by Manu, Tim, Kawhi, Diaw and Mills.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

LAKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[U2NUMB]

Damn it I miss Flip

 

[EASTC0AST_GH05T]

Toronto's next. Come on Celtics, make it 2-0!

That will be a tough game, I am looking forward to it though.

 

[Line_HTX]

God, cancer is just beyond terrible.

 

[C4Lukins]

Pachulia is the new hotness .

How do you turn off this auto correct on windows 10. I spent two minutes just trying to spell hotness in a very specific way. I had to put a space before the period in order to get it to register.

 

[C4Lukins]

God, cancer is just beyond terrible.

No kidding, I always liked Flip.

 

[Mutagenic]

CJ, get 'em boy. 22pt first quarter.

 

[Bread]

Seriously though, shame on them. There's a ton of turmoil in this town, and this is NOT how they should start the season compounding the turmoil. Fucking bitches. Carlos Correa would've shut down that fucking Rookie. Fuck that fraud.

It's the first game ffs, shouldn't you be waiting until March to watch them play anyways?

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Wow, looking pretty bad so far. Get in the game, guys!

 

[Gully State]

I can't believe Rubio is only 25. I feel like I've been watching him forever.

 

[shwimpy]

Laker offense looks abysmal.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Kobe's NBA career is older than D'Angelo Russell.

 

[Silkworm]

That will be a tough game, I am looking forward to it though.

Yeah, it should be a good early test. Hopefully the Celtics rise to the challenge. Ultimately I'd like to see them get a higher seed in the playoffs this go around so they have a chance to get out of the first round.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Fire Byron Scott, please.

 

[Tom Penny]

Lakers Wolves is film on what shots not to take in a game.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Fire Byron Scott, please.

No.

 

[shwimpy]

No.

Lakers ain't a bottom three team. Might as well groom the rookies with a competent coach.

 

[tm24]

Kobe's NBA career is older than D'Angelo Russell.

Dang. And I thought it was crazy when I started to cheer for professional athletes younger than me

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Lakers ain't a bottom three team.

They very well could be. I think, just like last year, people underestimate just how awful this roster is.

It's not like young players can't still develop while playing on an awful team. Wiggins by all account looked like a future superstar after his rookie year and the TWolves won 16 games.

 

[Gigglepoo]

Is Randle eligible for Rookie of the Year?

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

No.

LOL sorry. You're right though, we could get that Simmons guy. Tanking for a great player, why not?

 

[LyleLanley]

Solid first game for the Celtics. 82-0 here we come.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

LOL sorry. You're right though, we could get that Simmons guy. Tanking for a great player, why not?

Lakers first is top 3 protected so fuck it, might as well try.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Solid first game for the Celtics. 82-0 here we come.

That'd be good enough for a 2 seed in the West.

 

[Lexxism]

Damn. Wolves interim coach is horrible lol

 

[soundahfekz]

swaggy p is back

 

[C4Lukins]

Pachulia has the worst free throw form I have ever seen. But it seems to work for him.

 

[badscooter]

Wolves without Rubio are terrible. Take him out and the Lakers outscore them 21-5.

LaVine is not an NBA PG. He may not be an NBA player period.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Lakers first is top 3 protected so fuck it, might as well try.

That's a good point. Still, my dream season is this. Lakers tank and get first pick, Scott gets fired, but all of the players get tons of experience and build on that experience with new coaches. Tons of experience and development (but the Lakers blow every game at the end due to shitty coaching), high draft pick. Win win!

 

[darkwing-buck]

Lmao Swaggy P is such a lovable bastard

 

[Tom Penny]

Wolves are the 76ers of the West. A little bit of talent but nothing in reality.

 

[Rockin' Ranger]

Damn. Wolves interim coach is horrible lol

The second unit is going to ensure not only that the Wolves keep their pick next year, but it will be high lottery again. Mitchell not only running LaVine at point but also having Shabazz out there with him is going to be all sorts of awful. Hopefully Jones starts playing soon and LaVine is quickly sent to the end of the bench where he belongs.

 

[tm24]

Is Randle eligible for Rookie of the Year?

No, since he played In a regular season game. Blake got hurt in preseason so it doesn't count

 

[Xplatformer]

I didn't know Steve Nash was still on the Lakers.

 

[shwimpy]

Huertas for ROY.

 

[ISOM]

I didn't know Steve Nash was still on the Lakers.

That's euronash.

 

[LQX]

Is that the Zelda theme being played at the Lakers game?

 

[C4Lukins]

I am going to call it now, Dallas will be 6th in the West. Feel free to call me out later in the season, but if these guys stay healthy, the talent is there. Oh and they would be third in the East but that is a meaningless accomplishment.

 

[jmizzal]

Lakers playing Zelda music in the arena nice lol

Is that the Zelda theme being played at the Lakers game?

Yup

 

[burgerdog]

Is that the Zelda theme being played at the Lakers game?

Yep, that was pretty damn awesome.

 

[Rockin' Ranger]

LaVine is not an NBA PG. He may not be an NBA player period.

Dude's terrible but the franchise still seems to be all in on him. At least they scrapped the idea of him starting before the season started even if it was followed by moving him back to PG.
