Having so many guards/ball handlers on this team is a detriment to Russell's development. Hopefully Swaggy has a decent first couple of months and we can trade him. It's going to be tough for D'Angelo to find his rhythm in Scott's boneheaded offense and his favoring of Lou/Kobe/Huerta as he desperately tries to save his job. Hopefully next year we get a HC who can instill an offense that helps develop these young guys.

I bet someone online that Kobe would have 24.
There was nothing really at stake though.

Buss offered him an ownership stake on the low to tank the season. Little did Buss know it would have happened anyway.

Turned out to be an exciting game, though you have to think an actual NBA team would have blown both these jokers out (and I'm a Wolves fan).
To whomever said Lavine needs to play with Rubio, after the short spurt in the 4th I have to agree. Lavine, at this stage of his career, only has the capacity to be responsible for himself, not the whole team. Put him next to Rubio for 5 minutes a game and go from there.

he got some burn at the end. Granted Russell didn't look good but you kind of have to give these young guys minutes despite how bad they might look. Only way they'll develop.

Is D'Angelo Russell even good? Just not seeing it.
I hope to quote this down the line to laugh at this hopefully foolish comment.

I think he can be but I think it's going to be a hell of an adjustment for him, moreso than most rookies. He's not an elite athlete so it will probably be harder for him to adjust to the speed and athleticism of the pro game. It's all on him and how hard he wants to work. Wouldn't surprise me if he has a mostly forgettable rookie season. I read an article comparing his game to Harden, who also had a rough rookie year.

Considering the preview we saw tonight in #ByronSystem, it's going to be an especially shitty rookie season.
Watching the highlights of the Den/Hou game. Mudiay started off good dishing the ball and then his handling got real ugly til the end. It didnt really cost Den much since they were ahead comfortably, but it's something that's gonna need to be worked on once they start playing better defenses. He did have a nice streak to finish the game though
Very nice recommendations, thank you very much. I will check out those website you listed as well. I'm probably gonna look into that book but honestly, I'm not good at reading through books, my attention always goes elsewhere. But it seems to cover a lot of things, so I might pick it up.
Yeah, my team is LA Lakers.
A League Pass is $235 here. While a Premium pass is $280.
Welp, I thought the passes were more expensive in the US.
Madridista, if you really want to get into basketball, heres a fun list

Lots of great people to follow, read analysis, some great podcasts and video on there
Personal favorites are Zach Lowe, Bill Simmons, Nate duncan, Haralabob Voulgaris and emerging as my favs this year are The Starters crew

There is also Ballstreams.com which shows every NBA game in a better quality than League Pass. It only costs 90$ for 12 months. The great thing about Ballstreams is that you can freeze your account anytime you want and the time it is frozen gets added on at the end. So let's say you subscribe now and during the Summer you freeze it for 3 months then you can use it until January 2017. If you do this twice in a row you basically got 3 seasons worth of NBA Basketball for 180$.
Now the problem with Ballstreams is that you can not subscribe right now as they have some issues with their billing system. It should be fixed hopefully in the next few days or so.
Here's my referral link if you'd like to subscribe to Ballstreams

If you want League Pass I would recommend buying it through a proxy of another country. I think Canada has the cheapest prices of a little over 100$ or so. I haven't bought League Pass in 2 years so I'm not really sure, you should google it.

I can't wait until the Heat starting 5 figure it out on offense and it becomes deadly. This is the best bench we've had in years.
First time following the NBA and you pick one of the far and away worst teams in the league? I gotta give you props for that I guess! They are most likely going to purposely tank this year, so don't let the losses turn you off from the game.
I liked LA Lakers when I were a kid. Probably because of the jersey's colors but I also heard about O'Neal. And they were founded in 1947 which is he birth year of my father, so I think this team is for me. And I don't ever wanna change my team.
I'm watching the game against the Wolves right now and I really like Randle, Russel, Williams and Kobe.
I don't understand the substitutions. Can they substitute a player any time? Or are they substituting the whole team during a quarter?

No bad reason to pick a team. I just hope you don't drop out when they start tanking on purpose. All part of the game!
The reason behind ranking is that in the NBA for the draft (in which teams pick their new players) to put it simply the teams with the worst records get to go first and pick the best players.
Really? Wow I didn't know that. I know absolutely nothing about the draft. Is that like a transfer window?
I can't imagine LA Lakers wanting to miss out of the playoffs for a 3rd consecutive year when that has never happened before.
Teams draft kids out of college every year in June (and some kids from overseas). The order of picks starts with those who have the worst records going first, so they get to pick the best players.
For example the Minnesota Timberwolves had the worst record last year and got the first draft pick.
And their draft pick is top 3 protected, in which they don't get to keep it unless it's in the top 3 due to a deal they made previously.
And playoffs is not really an option for the Lakers, the west is just too good right now. They are in rebuilding mode right now especially since Kobe won't be there next year. Getting more good young talent like Russel and Randle which they drafted the last 2 years for another year would make sense. It doesn't help they have a terrible coach right now.
The Lakers will be a playoff caliber team again and be good again but we are likely a few years away from that point.
I don't understand this.
What does it mean that it is top 3 protected. Is this only for the LA Lakers?
Teams can trade away their draft picks. But put stipulations on it. Such as if they get a pick in the top 3 or what have you they get to keep it still for that year.
To put it simply the Lakers don't get their draft pick this year unless they are really bad.
Which puts teams in this situation into a thought process of: Do we risk the the unlikely chance at a playoff spot and lose our draft pick or tank and keep our draft pick?

Jahil Okafor is a God damn beast. 26pts on 10/16 shooting, 7 rebounds, 2 blocks,
. Crazy that this is his first game in the NBA.

Just finished the Wolves - Lakers match. Probably the best I have seen yet. What an intense ending wow wow wow. So sad we lost 112-111 but man was this something else. Can't believe we threw away such a lead.
What does rebounds mean? Is that when a shot misses and then you take the ball and scores after the miss?

And what is this about?
Where were you able to watch it? I only caught Bulls Nets and 76ers Celtics last night.

Ouch. Would be sad if the growth of the rookies was stunted by the fact that so many FG attempts are all concentrated through him. And for what? To win 5 extra games?
Thankfully he is gone after this year, the kids will have plenty of time to grow the next few seasons.
