Lakers/Jazz 10/4/15

[SpecialQue]

Damn, Bill and Stu are both rocking some Fisher-style titties here.

[SpecialQue]

Totally forgot about Hibs. :(

[SpecialQue]

Gordon looking fine as ****. Why's his hair gelled for the game?

[FreezingTsmoove]

Hayword looks bigger

Dangeles has a sick haircut

[SpecialQue]

Randle Raping.

[Fallen Angel]

Randle has some good herky jerky moves, just needs to learn how to actual do something with that ability

[GIF REACTION]

Hhahahahahahahahahaah Kobe

[AI09]

Kobe not looking good so far

[GIF REACTION]

Clangbe

[Fallen Angel]

Looking at the Jazz, I can't see them being a Top 8 team in the West without an upgrade in the backcourt. I thought Burke or Burks were gonna improve, but they look exactly the same as last year.

[disel]

chucker cryant is back in all his chucking glory

[GIF REACTION]

Kings are better than Utah

[Fallen Angel]

Both teams looking unimpressive. Amazing that with the length and promise that Gobert has, he's incapable of putting the ball through the hoop without dunking it.

[lilteapot]

Kobe not looking good so far
You expected him to look good?

[SpecialQue]

Brick fest so far from the Lakers.

[SpecialQue]

Nice finish from D-Slow.

[Bosnian Sajo]

Both teams looking unimpressive. Amazing that with the length and promise that Gobert has, he's incapable of putting the ball through the hoop without dunking it.

Even then he has trouble, clanked a dunk already.


Why do we keep taking mid rangers though?? Clarkson, Russell, and Randle...all missed shots. I don't know why Randle is so in love with that shot.

[SpecialQue]

Jazz are gonna be interesting to watch this season. They could be a dark horse for #8 in the west.

[FreezingTsmoove]

Kobs making Gayword his bitch

[lilteapot]

Lakers offense looks so sloppy and hectic. What do you expect though.

[Bosnian Sajo]

Hibbert has been looking real good, big presence in the paint. No easy buckets, no offensive rebounds allowed from the Jazz :applause:

[IGOTGAME]

Hibbert is horrible on offense.
Randle is a shit shooter.

[Fallen Angel]

Jazz are gonna be interesting to watch this season. They could be a dark horse for #8 in the west.
Their guard play is too bad for them to even sniff the 8th seed

[Bosnian Sajo]

Hibbert is horrible on offense.
Randle is a shit shooter.

Chill, Hib just assisted Russell. As long as he isn't taking fga, I'm not complaining (unless the balls going in bruh).

[AI09]

You expected him to look good?

I expected the chucking and missing but his defense looks horrible can't stay infront of his man with out fouling he had 2 fouls in under 3 minutes and I seen a couple the refs let him get away with.

[GIF REACTION]

Kings have a better team and will finish higher than Utah

[Bosnian Sajo]

Kings have a better team and will finish higher than Utah


gtfo bruh, louuuuuuuu in the building :pimp:

[SpecialQue]

Sweet Lou!

[lilteapot]

I think you're expecting too much from Kobe. In his 20th season, coming off of multiple serious injuries, 37 years old, I expect him to have trouble being effective on both ends, especially guarding younger guards, and I mean guards that are much younger.

[AI09]

Kings have a better team and will finish higher than Utah

Utah>kings>lakers

[Fallen Angel]

Booker :applause:

[SpecialQue]

Man, Kobe's footwork is still sweet as shit and then he ruins it by clanking the shot. :facepalm

[GIF REACTION]

Kobe just doesn't have the legs anymore to hit those

[Bosnian Sajo]

Kobe has got to stop shooting, love him but please, save it for practice.

[FreezingTsmoove]

2/6 watch

[Levity]

Yo, was Quinn Snyder a Sith Lord in a past life?

[GIF REACTION]

Utah>kings>lakers
Incorrect

We got a better all round team, more talent, better coach

[Bosnian Sajo]

Incorrect

Don't bite your tongue.

[GIF REACTION]

Kobe's getting his spots and post position, his team are just being ****heads and not getting the ball to him

Give Kobe the ball when he's got post position

[fragokota]

Kobe has got to stop shooting, love him but please, save it for practice.

This ain't gonna happen bro. This is who he is.

[GIF REACTION]

Kobe could still get off 20 a night on 45% if his team could get him good shots

Use him in the post and reap the benefits of his scoring arsenal and passing ability from down there

[Bosnian Sajo]

6th man like Louuu Willl :bowdown:

[FreezingTsmoove]

got two girls and they get along like im

[IGOTGAME]

Lou Will is the bright spot so far. Haven't watched him much but he looks like he will help

[GIF REACTION]

Lakers depth is underrated

[fragokota]

Lakers depth is underrated

Better roster than last couple of years for sure.

[FKAri]

How long till Lou takes Russell's starting spot?

[Bosnian Sajo]

How long till Lou takes Russell's starting spot?

Lou's the type of guy who has to come off the bench, he runs the 2nd unit which is an important role on a team.

[Fallen Angel]

Utah's Top 4 players all play in the frontcourt and none of them are Top 5 in their position.

[Bosnian Sajo]

Lou so smooth!! Gotta get dudes jersey :oldlol:

[imnew09]

Too easy. Lou all day

[IGOTGAME]

Lou's the type of guy who has to come off the bench, he runs the 2nd unit which is an important role on a team.
He may be needed on the first team based on what I'm seeing. No one can create there on shot besides Kobe and he is too old to bear that burden.

[lakerspng]

Clarkson can create his own shot as well.

[SpecialQue]

Lakers not looking like complete ass out there...I'm not used to this. :lol

[lakerspng]

Lakers not looking like complete ass out there...I'm not used to this. :lol

Team's going to be competitive in a lot of games this year. Question is do they have the poise to close games and/or will Kobe have the spring in his step at the end of games to help close them out.

[IGOTGAME]

Clarkson can create his own shot as well.

I hope so. I don't like idea of staring Russell and Clarkson with Kobe. Think it puts too much pressure on Kobe.

[lakerspng]

Brandon Bass bringing it tonight. Hope he can do this with regularity.

[imnew09]

Bass all day.

Man we got a great team

[Jameerthefear]

>look! were winning in the preseason

[Bosnian Sajo]

Tarik has to finish the put backs, love the effort though. We got a deep team fellas, I wanna see some Nance/ABrown/Metta/Upshaw in this game too, though. Huertas won't play tonight but I'm interested to see what he is going to bring.

[lakerspng]

Jabari Brown is killing us out there on Offense. Playing some nice D but... damn.

[Bosnian Sajo]

>look! were winning in the preseason

We just like how our team is clicking man, ton of new players and it is exciting seeing them all in action. No one is overreacting, we are just enjoying so let us chill and watch the game.

[Bosnian Sajo]

Jabari Brown is killing us out there on Offense. Playing some nice D but... damn.

He's not afraid to take it to the hole which is a good sign, his D improved a lot. Entire team playing good D which is great to see.

[toxicxr6]

I know it's just preseason but both of these teams are looking very very average...

[bluechox2]

oldbe looking old..and its only the preseason

[Lebron23]

Lou was a terrific pickup by Mitch. Gonna make a big difference for us.

[Bosnian Sajo]

oldbe looking old..and its only the preseason

Where were you 20 minutes ago when the 1st q ended? Lol, keep checking that box score :oldlol:



SWAGGGY!!! :pimp:

[lakerspng]

Hah. had to know Nick Young would hit that. miss everything else and nail that.

[G0ATbe]

Godbe looking great out there:bowdown: .

[Lebron23]

Lou Williams might lead his Lakers team in scoring.

[R.I.P.]

Hah. had to know Nick Young would hit that. miss everything else and nail that.

Had a nobody to 20 points in the quarter bet at 20 to 1. Lakers were at 19 before the shot. That stupid mofo and also that Utah asshole that goes with seven seconds on the shotclock. **** these assholes.

[Xiao Yao You]

Looking at the Jazz, I can't see them being a Top 8 team in the West without an upgrade in the backcourt. I thought Burke or Burks were gonna improve, but they look exactly the same as last year.

Burks made some nice passes. Trey wont be playing. Neto is an upgrade. Cotton will be too. Snyder said hood and burks could play the 1

[AI09]

Man I remember when philly drafted Lou williams he was our only draft pick that year and I think it was the last year high schoolers can go pro. He was a steal for us the front office decided he would likely be a lottery mid first round pick had he went to college. I also remember either Kenny Smith or Greg Anthony bashing philly right after the pick saying Lou will be lucky to receive a training camp jersey. Hes been in 6th man of the year debate almost every year the last 5 years. He's also a pretty good guy too I remember reading a article where a a man pulled a gun on him and tried to rob him, the gunman recanized him for all the charity work he has done in the city anyway long story short Lou ended up taking the guy out for some food and just talked about the man's problems.

Also he's a pimp he got two fine pieces of aZz and the best part bout it is they cool with it :pimp:

[toxicxr6]

Ugly frekkin shot Russell eewwwww

[EricGordon23]

Hayward is looking huge this year. If Clarkson keeps this bullsh!t taunting up someone should give him a hard foul

[IGOTGAME]

Russel is not some savant passer. Those comparisons to Kendall Marshall as a PASSER are unwarranted.

[SwishSquared]

Utah's Top 4 players all play in the frontcourt and none of them are Top 5 in their position.You don't think Gobert will be a top 5 center by year's end? I think you can make the case now. He's one of the 5 best defenders in the entire league.

[Xiao Yao You]

Hood and burks are among their top 5. Debatable ad to rather they have top 5 guys. I wouldnt want anyone over gobert

[IGOTGAME]

Russel needs to elevate more. His shot is always rushed and challenged bc of his lack of elevation.

[Jameerthefear]

Ya she mentioned how her pinky is bigger then peanut pen!s. Lol u got a winnie not a **** b!tch
Yeah she did mention that about you after I was done ****ing her.

[Lakers_Kobe_Fan]

Yeah she did mention that about you after I was done ****ing her.


Go in OT section and make threads :roll:

[Jameerthefear]

It was me doing u, u v!rgin punk

Go in OT section and make threads :roll:
I'm underaged. Calling the cops.

[Lebron23]

Nope. Your mom has been sucking my **** for a while now though f*ggot


Get his @$$ Jameer!!

[outbreak]

Russel is not some savant passer. Those comparisons to Kendall Marshall as a PASSER are unwarranted.

He was always a better shooter imo but since he sucked at shooting in summer league people have hyped up his passing more.

[sd3035]

When this guy is your best player, you're in trouble

[Fallen Angel]

He's great defensively, but his offense isn't there at all.

I'd still take Boogie, Howard, Gasol, DeAndre, Horford, Vucevic, and a healthy Noah over Gobert going into next season.

[Jameerthefear]

he's better than noah defensively and as a scorer but u would take noah over him?

[Fallen Angel]

Healthy Joakim Noah was the best player on both sides of the ball for a Chicago Bulls squad that won nearly 50 games without Derrick Rose just two seasons ago.

Gobert is easily the better shot blocker than healthy Noah, but on every other aspect of the game on the defensive end I'd take Noah.

Gobert is the better finisher, but Noah still did average 12.6 points and 5 assists during his last healthy season. Noah basically played Point Center for the Bulls two seasons ago. With Gobert, you're not getting much of anything from him besides dunks off of offensive rebounds and lob catches.

You obviously haven't watched him. He sets the best screens on the team. He's their best passing big. He runs the floor. He runs the pick and roll. Defensively and on the glass he is the best. He took over the game tonight just like we saw him do game after game last year.

[Fallen Angel]

Okay. That still doesn't make him better than Joakim Noah two seasons ago when he won DPOY while averaging 5 APG as a Point Center on a Bulls team that one nearly 50 games without the help of Derrick Rose. Noah that year was the best center in the league and was fourth in MVP Voting behind Durant, Lebron, and Griffin.

Rudy Gobert was better than Noah last season, but don't forget Noah was hobbled all year with an ankle injury and played a reduced role with the emergence of Jimmy Butler and the addition of both Derrick Rose and Pau Gasol.

[Lebron23]

Kobe looks older than $HIt.

[SwishSquared]

He's great defensively, but his offense isn't there at all.

I'd still take Boogie, Howard, Gasol, DeAndre, Horford, Vucevic, and a healthy Noah over Gobert going into next season.I think I'd take Gobert over Vucevic for sure this season. Vuc is a beast on the boards and very skilled offensively, but just doesn't have the foot speed to be a good defender. That's one of the flaws on the Magic- none of their 5 or 6 best players provides rim protection.

I'm in agreement regards to Rudy's offensive game still developing compared to the guys you listed. Having a defender between him and the basket can neutralize his finishing, whereas others will score over/around/through a defender. He's at least improved his FT% to where he's not as much of a liability. I think he's a better defender (and arguably passer) than DJ, but with more offensive confidence he'll definitely surpass him. DJ is great at screening/rolling/finding space/finishing. If he isn't rumbling down the lane, he provides little outside of great screen-setting.

2 seasons ago isn't now. Noah also has a new coach so who knows how he'll fit in there.

I'll still enjoy watching them suck this season.
Hopefully another top 3 pick.

Another top 3 pick along the same lines of Russell and Julius Randle would be great..keep losing lakers..:lol .
