dear lord blake

 

[Farsi]

Damn that was a nice poster

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Randle in the shadow realm

 

[Umbooki]

I forgot Griffin could snatch souls like that. Used to happen on the regular.

 

[LyleLanley]

ya'll overreactin a bit on lonzo tbh

got back from thunder game, the nerves were real first quarter but porzingis couldn't play 1v4 forever.

Overreacting? The guy's a bust and the Lakers wasted yet another second overall pick on trash.

 

[Jarate]

Blake Griffin is the only player on offense for the Clippers

Dudes gonna average 40 a season lol

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Blake Griffin is the only player on offense for the Clippers

Dudes gonna average 40 a season lol

I'd hope he can score more than 40 per season, to be honest. That's just 0.5 PPG. I might even be able to do that.

 

[aznpxdd]

What a clusterfuck of a quarter.

 

[Chase17]

That was one rough sequence lol

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

That wont happen CP3 is a hall of fame PG, some roll players are not gonna make them better, its not like he was done like Kobe

It doesn't matter if he was done or not. It was clear it wasn't working with him.

They got a lot back for someone that was going to walk in free agency.

They have more depth now, Blake just has to step-up.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

the Austin Rivers All Star campaign starts tonight!

 

[RedAssedApe]

Lol what a trash sequence

 

[NoctisVsStar]

at the very least I love how Lonzo just pushes and pushes the moment he touches the ball

Co-signed he's always pushing the tempo.

 

[VeeP]

"Kuz Control"

y u embarrass me like this NoctisVsStar... I thought we were becoming friends by making fun of FZZ together...

 

[spyder_ur]

I think Lonzo will be fine, all jokes aside. Ingram and Randle though - man, those looks like misses unless something really changes with their games.

 

[friskykillface]

Lolakers

 

[Hydrus]

These young guys need a looooooooooot of work.

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

Turnover city.

 

[PRBoricua]

Yeesh, that was tough to watch.

 

[BeatnikGunsoo]

lonzo might not be scoring but he's getting rebounds and blocks. He's doing more than ingram and randle at least lol

 

[Randolph Freelander]

the Austin Rivers All Star MVP campaign starts tonight!

.

 

[Ferny]

I thought Lonzo looked fine and will continue to improve. Ingram tho..man. He looked so lost out there.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I think Lonzo will be fine, all jokes aside. Ingram and Randle though - man, those looks like misses unless something really changes with their games.

Julius is basically a 13/9 guy, not sure I'd call that a miss considering where he was drafted.

 

[Gigglepoo]

at the very least I love how Lonzo just pushes and pushes the moment he touches the ball

He's the anti-CP3

 

[RedAssedApe]

Zubac in street clothes?

 

[NoctisVsStar]

y u embarrass me like this NoctisVsStar... I thought we were becoming friends by making fun of FZZ together...

I mean i legit laughed XD

 

[IKizzLE]

Lmao @ this lakers team. They need to relax, run some plays, stop playing ISO, especially when you have a history of not making shots. Stop taking hard shots.

I'm tossing this all up to 1st Q, 1st game jitters.

 

[Hyperactivity]

Julius is basically a 13/9 guy, not sure I'd call that a miss considering where he was drafted.

I mean, 13/9, but far too often at other's expense.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

I think Lonzo will be fine, all jokes aside. Ingram and Randle though - man, those looks like misses unless something really changes with their games.

Ingram gets bullied too easy, i mean i don't recall Durant getting manhandled like that during the super sonics days despite having similar body types.. but Durant was a sniper from day one though.

 

[jmizzal]

It doesn't matter if he was done or not. It was clear it wasn't working with him.

I know he had to leave but NBA is a superstar driven league, you dont get better by losing a superstar and getting role players you have to get another superstar, or somebody else has to play at an all star level like Paul.

It cant just be Blake, none of the players they got are gonna just make some major jump this year like that, at best they are out in the 1st round.

Most teams in the West got better they got worst, but maybe better long term

 

[LyleLanley]

Ingram gets bullied to easy, i mean i don't recall Durant getting manhandled like that during the super sonics days.

That's because Durant had talent.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Half a possession was Bogus holding the ball

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Basketball without a competent facilitator on the floor is wooof

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Yooo Beverly


What a sequence

 

[Nialrot]

Lol Beverly just snatching souls

 

[Farsi]

Oh shit Bev what a block

 

[NoctisVsStar]

That's because Durant had talent.

Savage I was just talking body types XD

Rockets and Spurs last year were one superstar teams and they still did well.

I am not saying they will win the west but they may not be any worse than last years underachieving mess.

 

[ratcliffja]

Man I love Pat Bev.

 

[Jarate]

Clippers gonna be so mediocre this year. #FreeBeverly

 

[friskykillface]

Lol Bev still does that run while someone calls timeout

 

[trixx]

This might be the worst quarter of basketball I’ve seen in years 🤢

Lmao it was pretty bad

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

Half a possession was Bogus holding the ball

Every time Bogut pounded the ball I died a little inside. He was aimlessly wandering around trying to find anyone open.

 

[IKizzLE]

Team looks mad lost when Lonzo isn't on the floor dictating offense.
But at the same time, every time Lonzo does pass the ball, no one else wants to pass.

 

[Jarate]

Clarkson should not be a primary ballhandler in the NBA. Lonzo is literally the only one they have

 

[spyder_ur]

Julius is basically a 13/9 guy, not sure I'd call that a miss considering where he was drafted.

That's a fair point, especially given the context of that draft.

Ingram gets bullied too easy, i mean i don't recall Durant getting manhandled like that during the super sonics days despite having similar body types.. but Durant was a sniper from day one though.

People were desperate to make the Durant comparisons, and there are some similarities, but Ingram secretly is not a very good shooter. He'll probably figure out how to use his length around the rim and defensively a bit better though. I'm just not sure what Ingram does well at an NBA level. To be honest though I wasn't a big fan of his out of college.

 

[Dead Guy]

I thought lonzo was supposed to lead the Lakers to the championship this year? What happened?

 

[Ferny]

I thought lonzo was supposed to lead the Lakers to the championship this year? What happened?

Its the first game of 82. Relax

 

[Dead Guy]

Its the first game of 82. Relax

It was sarcasm lol

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

Alright hype can only make me watch for so long. This is brutal. I'll come back in the fourth if it's gotten good.
