Bench DLo, Ingram, and Zubac for tomorrow's game... not worth it. Playing Summer league in your second year is cute and all but the chances of injury are not worth it... especially with back to back games being involved. Sixers were smart to bench Simmons for their final two games.

They sounded like they wanted to win, not that SL matters but it's not like they can now. Yeah it'd be smart to sit them. Hope Nance is okay.

 

[GravityInsanity]

Just watched the charge replay from Nance. Looks like he broke his wrist. I hope I'm wrong but that replay doesn't look good.

 

[ProvenDeadly]

I hope this wrist injury doesn't mess up his newly developed jump shot ://///

 

[ProvenDeadly]

He apparently fractured his 3rd metacarpal

 

[shwimpy]

Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Nance, Jr thinks the wrist is broken, according to Zubac, but official word from the Lakers is the X-Rays will be re-evaluated tomorrow.

fuck...

 

[Ninja Scooter]

man and Nance was working on his jumper too. HOpefully he's healed by the time the season starts.

I'm reading by preseason according to Reddit doctors

They're saying 6-8 weeks.

Randle better get his shit together.

Isn't a worse case scenario wrist injury like 2-3 months? So that's still enough time for the season

yeah a broken hand bone is definitely better than wrist. I think wrist injuries can tend to mess up player's shooting mechanics too, or at least take longer for them to recover.

hope the larry hype got his attention.

if the dude still can't hit a j...

That Zubac dunk was lit.

14mil for the carcas of Manu Ginobili? Dunno, I love the guy, but if I'm the spurs I think I let him walk to Phili for that price. If he even ever intended to go in the first place.

Sixers need some veteran presence there, especially someone with a championship pedigree just to rein in the young guys. I doubt Manu will even entertain the idea of leaving the Spurs until retirement though.

What is Andre iggy talking about? Thunder deserved to win the championship they played the best.... Yet they loss? What am I missing here? I think this is a jedi mind trick for him to give Durant praise or something.

yeah ummm...strength in numbers...or something.

OKC did mostly dominate that series in ways that Cleveland in the next round didn't. Golden St. couldn't really run anything resembling an offense within the 3pt line vs. OKC; their offense was basically reduced to Klay and Steph chucking 3's, but those 3's just happened to go in vs. the Thunder.

 

[unknownstranger]

Edit: nvm

 

[Tom Penny]

Cavs beat the Celtics and Lakers. They are winning all titles forever.

 

[qcf x2]

lol @ Iguodala basically saying Durant did not make the move to win. Good job AI. Not quite as bad as the gun comment but pretty dumb.

Lol just read that.

They fucking choked a 3-1 lead away. I don't know how they deserved anything but what they got. You would think he would realize this after GSW turned around and did the same thing lmao. Like does closing the deal mean anything anymore?

I had never minded GSW but this last playoffs has placed them atop my shit list.

Can't believe Lakers fans are still hopeful for Randle, he was supposed to be NBA ready and he hasn't progressed.

well he did miss a whole yr. Last yr was basically his rookie season.

"Deserve" to win is always a bit weird. The only team who "deserves" to win something is the one that actually does imo.

But I kinda get everything else he said. They played the Warriors tougher than anyone else I've seen the last two years.

Progressed from what? Unless you count the 14 minutes he played, last year was his rookie season.

Nah man, these guys scrimmage every day. If you get injured in summer league then you were gonna get injured in league play anyways.

Luck is a major part of the game, and it's really hard to say that any team deserves luck more than another.

McCaw dropped 28 points last night.

Kid looks so smooth out there and his active defense is great. I really like what I'm seeing out of him in summer league.

He's the real deal. Another late pick steal!

Lance only has a sprained wrist so the dream of him starting is alive

Good. I felt bad for Ninja/LakersGAF when I heard the news.

Thank god.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Are we calling him Lance now?

 

[RedAssedApe]

what was his reasoning for skipping summer league?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Is that a no?

I'll see myself out.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Friday Night Lights joke. On the show that guys name was Landry but the coach kept calling him Lance. I don't know if he was ever corrected.

I haven't seen that movie since.....2002? I don't remember much about the movie.

The greatest sports movie of all time for me is Hoop Dreams.

LOL

I typed that and I was thinking to myself "this doesn't seem right but whatever"

 

[Fjordson]

Glad Larry "Lance" Nance is okay, but still need to ban the charge.

McCaw dropped 28 points last night.

He looks really solid. Myers is the swindle god.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

LOL Bill Simmons tried to teach me that the best basketball movie is Teen Wolf.

Meh, I still think it's Hoop Dreams, IMO.

 

[Fjordson]

Ben Simmons is a lefty, right?

I'm watching some summer league highlights and he never finishes with his left...ever. All his floaters, layups, etc. are with his right hand only, but his jumper is with his left. I'm confused.

Maybe he's a righty and he doesn't realize it. Would explain the terrible shooting.

 

[Tubobutts]

He felt like it? I think he should have played.

And I know that because he did play those 14 minutes he is officially considered a third year player. But I don't know how you can count a year of being injured against his hypothetical progress.

 

[GravityInsanity]

Bulls make it official.

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

Just ain't right man. I'm never going to get used to see Wade outside of a Heat uniform.
