Game getting away from the Lakers. Still like that they remain competitive though. These young guys have a lot of moxie.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Need the Jazz to meltdown right now.

 

[Marz]

Jazz dont even have Hayward and Burks, they gonna make the playoffs this year.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

D'Lo dammit

 

[joebruin]

clarkson and russell with bad shooting nights. i like the fight of this team though

 

[theWB27]

D'Lo dammit

What's bigger than the miss is he's not scared to take that shot.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Hill and JJ are such an upgrade for Utah's backcourt. They got a chance to make some noise.

I like Randle's start to the season. Playing him at the 5 isn't ideal and probably more of an experiment but he's holding his own and doing some good things of offense.

 

[WesternHeretic]

What kind of league would let you draft 2 of those 3?

Auction lol. Put all your money into two of the three guys.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

D'Lo dammit

It's gonna take time but he took the shot with confidence. All you can ask for.

 

[Chezzymann]

Just curious, why is NBA gaf so much less popular than other sports on GAF like hockey or NFL? The NBA is one of the most popular sports among young people, and is one of the biggest sports communities on reddit which i assume has similar demographics

True true.

The Great NBA-GAF Purge had something to do with that.

It used to be wildly popular but there was a mass exodus a few years back. I used to post a lot but the regulars are gone so I only post when the feeling hits me.

Because half of the NBA GAF population moved to another forum. There was a "nuke" and half the members stay and the other half bounce. So it's going to take time to rebuild with new people coming in.

 

[Chezzymann]

Ah okay thanks. Im assuming the 'nuke' was a touchy subject that shouldnt be brought up.

It's all out there in the archives.

When Davis last score?

When did he last get to shoot?

It's because of all the fucking anime posts. It's scaring off all the decent people who now associate NBA-gaf with that depravity.

 

[mozfan12]

First loss of the season. If we can get a 25-30 win season that would be awesome. But avoiding blowouts should be a priority. I'm excited for this laker team, it's good to see the young blood make decisions in crucial moments. It'll be a fun year.

??? Pretty sure it was basketball talk we banned.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Anthony Davis is going to kill himself for this team.

IF ANTHONY DAVIS IS SO GOOD, WHY DOESNT HE HAVE A RING!?

Easy, he doesn't want it bad enough. Next question?

 

[dream]

ryu if you commit to being a regular again, I will join you.

 

[WesternHeretic]

Was YNB held back by Durant?

 

[ryutaro's mama]

ryu if you commit to being a regular again, I will join you.

But Doris...

 

[Fjordson]

Dubs defense is total trash right now. That's three career high scoring nights from opponents in two games. One of them being fucking Tim Frazier.

 

[LyleLanley]

Was YNB held back by Durant?

Undoubtedly. Durant was the real primadonna and clearly didn't truly want to win a championship. Westbrook unburdened from carrying Durant should go on to win at least 6 rings.

 

[Chezzymann]

im overreacting but the dubs are just gonna be another 50 win team this year

 

[Hyperactivity]

Pelicans comeback?

 

[Ronin Ray]

It's because of all the fucking anime posts. It's scaring off all the decent people who now associate NBA-gaf with that depravity.

All those anime post are keeping the warriors talk down so I think you mean thank you. Anime is making this thread great. I mean do you expect us to talk basketball here ???

 

[theWB27]

They'll be just fine.

It's unfair the workload Davis is putting up. They're gonna run him into the ground with that bs

 

[Fjordson]

Dubs lucky Anthony Davis has no one around him tbh.

 

[Hyperactivity]

Davis FINALLY getting to shoot

2nd time Curry has gone for the dumbass 3

 

[friskykillface]

Thompson is gonna destroy these Warriors

 

[FStop7]

Jesus, how real is Davis?

 

[Gully State]

Yeah it's gonna take some time for them to figure it out.... I don't feel like dray is playing with the same fire as we are used to seeing. Also, people are going right at Zaza ...

The other thing is that I don't feel like the offense is as crisp as last year. Thus far, it's looked very disjointed at times.

Btw....any word of McCaw's injury? Dude was having a productive run before he went down.

 

[jman2050]

Golden State as they're playing right now would get eaten alive by Cleveland playing in Finals mode.

They'll figure it out I imagine but this team has issues.

 

[Hyperactivity]

Seriously Pelicans get some people around Anthony Davis. I want to see him dominate.

 

[Forceatowulf]

My Lakers fought hard tonight. I'll take the L. ain't even mad.

Apparently just an ankle sprain for McCaw. Not serious, but will probably miss time.

And yeah, Dray has been mediocre. Need him at his best for the defense to be competitive.

 

[friskykillface]

Lol curry

 

[Gully State]

Pelicans will never be a healthy team. They share the same training and rehab staff as the Saints ..

 

[slightconfuse]

Boston should trade for AD

 

[Hyperactivity]

Is Davis seriously going to do this?

dammit...

 

[XiaNaphryz]

??? Pretty sure it was basketball talk we banned.

 

[Hyperactivity]

?

 

[jptrey06]

I sure hope Gentry sticks with this group as his starting lineup. Born Ready and AD looks good on the court together

 

[phanphare]

Boston should trade for AD

fuck it, let the warriors have him. go all in with the super team. curry/klay/durant/dray/davis. I'd sacrifice many hours of sleep to stay up and watch that team all season.
