Beverly feeling it. Lmao

Brook trying to save Lonzo's ass from Bev.

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

Reality?

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

You can't make em all

 

[Brinbe]

This is G-League tier

Lakers should have kept Russell

Randle is somehow -`16 in eight minutes of play lmfao

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Lol did Lonzo just help his teammate get up rather than get back on defense

 

[IKizzLE]

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.

High School BBall right now. Mad sloppy.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Jeezus. Ingram can’t seem to finish at the rim

 

[friskykillface]

Kuzma washed

Slava Menvadenco still 🐐

 

[NoctisVsStar]

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.

I can't help but to agree I'm trying to see one positive in his game..so far there's none.

 

[NewLib]

Ingram has not had a shot that had any chance in going in so far.

 

[-tetsuo-]

The Durant comparisons were always comical.

I don't understand how he turned into a bad shooter in the NBA.

He was a good shooter in college. Then again so was Lonzo.

 

[Brinbe]

This is basketball hell

 

[NoctisVsStar]

FZZ come out and play

 

[iavi]

I thought we was in the Lonzo era now

 

[Jarate]

Lakers need Hinkie

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

FZZ come out and play

lol

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Damn Gallo can't hit anything

 

[Dead Guy]

Ay there ya go lonzo

 

[RedAssedApe]

Yeaaa. Welcome to the nba zo

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Gallinari is poop

 

[Redd]

There it is.

 

[Brinbe]

PatBev getting right in that ass

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Damn Beverly

 

[Ninja Scooter]

On paper i like this Clipper team to be a frisky mid tier playoff team, but man they are probably going to need time to gel.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Damn Gallo can't hit anything

My FG dropping like crazy lol my boy milos been robbed of some asts.

Blake is ballin tonight.

 

[Jarate]

They'll be the 10th or 9th best team in the west just because of tough the west is.

Clippers are another team that should trust the process

 

[NewLib]

Lakers need Caldwell-Pope. This back court is just dreadful. You can just spend all your energy guarding Ball and know that no one else on the team can create a shot.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Lol ingram guarding Blake

 

[Hyperactivity]

They'll be the 10th or 9th best team in the west just because of tough the west is.

Nah. While that might be true, it's far from guaranteed. Clippers have a over/under of around 43 or 45 iirc, and they're a team that I could conceivably see going all the way to both 37 and 51 wins.

Incredibly high variance.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Corey Brewer? This is hell.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Intentional fouling? Luke don't make this game longer than it has to be.

 

[Dre3001]

I really don't get why lakers wanted Russell gone so bad.

Were they really that upset over the whole swaggy p situation?

 

[LyleLanley]

I thank God every day for the Lakers picking Ingram over Jaylen.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Ingram got no control whatsoever driving to the paint.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Ball rebounding champ

 

[Hydrus]

Ingram does not look good at all.

 

[spyder_ur]

I thank God every day for the Lakers picking Ingram over Jaylen.

I can't believe we somehow avoided Ingram, Ball and whatever the Sixers have done with Fultz. Luck of the Irish.

Spoiler

Doesn't apply to Gordon's injury

 

[trixx]

all backboard LOL haha, ingram is wack lol

this game sucks

 

[Ninja Scooter]

They wanted Mozgov's contract gone bad. Supposedly management and the coaches had soured on him. I think he's talented but I'm not sure he'll ever live up to the hype.

 

[friskykillface]

I thank God every day for the Lakers picking Ingram over Jaylen.

Ainge keeps winning

 

[RedAssedApe]

Lebron still coming

Toxic locker room.
People at jobs get fired for making the culture in the workplace terrible.
If you have a player branded as a snitch and your teammates can't trust you when they go out to kick it and talk non basketball stuff, a team will never gel fully.

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

They wanted Mozgov's contract gone bad.

To go after free agents that will again not come when they see how poor the rest of the team is.

 

[mjp2417]

Dlo was largely redundant with Lonzo coming in and they needed to move off Mozgov's contract

 

[Ninja Scooter]

To go after free agents that will again not come when they see how poor the rest of the team is.

To give themselves flexibility. Maybe free agents will come maybe they won't, but Dangelo Russel isn't making or breaking this franchise.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

That or they were deadset on Lonzo.. so I can only imagine Lakers front office didn't want some potential ongoing beef between the two PG's.

Russell can drop buckets tho.

 

[VeeP]

Lol, Lebron's definitely not going to come to this. And Paul George isn't either.

 

[LyleLanley]

Lol, Lebron's definitely not going to come to this. And Paul George isn't either.

They may not go, but at some point some superstar is going to end up signing there, especially if they have the cap room to sign two max guys. The allure of turning the Lakers back into a competent franchise has to be tempting.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Thought this one dude was supposed to be Steve Nash
