Let's take care of our business here tonight. :rockon:

We're in for a rough schedular stretch after this game, so it's extra-crucial to win this game to add another layer to our safety blanket; otherwise, the next-9 games (with the exception of the Pelicans) could really sink us in the playoffs-race standings without more than a few more overachievements.

What is this "tough" schedule you speak of? Have you forgotten...that we da besss? :oldlol: :oldlol:

[Naero]

Deng = completely inert as he didn't even pursue that last rebound. :facepalm

At what point will he still merit starting over Ingram? He's been completely dead-weight.

[Bosnian Sajo]

Three early 3's for D'angelo :applause:


MAKE THAT 4!!!!


Dlo with 12 early points :applause:

[SAKOTXA]

Yea...he's been worthless so far. Way out of shape, slow, can't make open shots, can't lay defense. The only thing he's been ok at is passing.

D'God with 4 threes already. Watch out Curry :bowdown:

[pedromarinho]

Legit superstar in the making

[ClipperRevival]

Druss remembers who he had his career game against last year. He's feeling it tonight.

[Bosnian Sajo]

Julius Randle doing his best Draymond Green impersonation, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in the first 4 minutes.

[TheGreatDeraj]

4/4 from 3 for Russell in the first 4 and a half minutes.

[Nick Young]

Legit superstar in the making
Magic Johnson with Steph Curry's range and shooting, this is what peak maxed out Russell looks like.

Hopefully this presages another breakout performance against the Nets, which is the team he's shown most of his flashes of potential superstardom against last season.

[SAKOTXA]

Is Mozgov gonna get raped by the refs again?

[Bosnian Sajo]

Holy shit, make that 6 assists for Randle to go with 4 rebounds :eek:



****ing Deng can't hit an open 3, would of been Randle's 7th.

[SAKOTXA]

Bench Deng for the season

[Nick Young]

wtf Brooke Lopez stop it

15 points on 5 threes for Russell

6 assists and 4 rebounds for Randle


And we're only half way through the 1st :lol

[Nick Young]

Randle already with 6 assists, Randle and D-Russ starting on my fantasy team:rockon:

[Bosnian Sajo]

Randle already with 6 assists, Randle and D-Russ starting on my fantasy team:rockon:

Saaaame, those two and Swaggy. It's a points league too, they racking it up.


Then on my other league, I have Clarkson and Mozzy.

[AirTupac]

D'Angelo bout to break the record my word

[SAKOTXA]

Ingram in :applause: :applause:

[Bosnian Sajo]

Guys...Randle is low key KILLING it. 7 assists and 5 rebounds.


Dlo with the tomahawk!!

[Nick Young]

GODDAMN clarkson what a pass!

[pedromarinho]

D'Angelo bout to break the record my word
No way. You'll witness how difficult it is...

Randle is like Draymond only not a bitch and better at scoring:rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

Yea I'm loving the way he's been playing aside from the first couple of games

[Bosnian Sajo]

Randle is like Draymond only not a bitch and better at scoring:rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

Draymond's not a bitch..don't hate on the competition for no reason.

[pedromarinho]

Randle is a beast. His ceiling is like 2 or 3 times Draymonds...

[TheGreatDeraj]

Russell/Randle looking a bit like Curry/Green early this game.

Russell draining threes and Randle distributing the ball

If they keep hard hedging the Russell /Randle pick-and-roll because of Russell's shooting then it's going to be a triple double for Randle.

We got a glimpse of the future with the Russel/Clarkson/Ingram/Nance/Randle lineup for a minute or so looked good.

[Bosnian Sajo]

No reason we should be down right now lol, this is ridiculous. Bench is looking sorry tonight.

[Nick Young]

Draymond's not a bitch..don't hate on the competition for no reason.

[Bosnian Sajo]

Dlo and Mozzy have scored all but 2 points in the 1st quarter.


Other guys gotta wake up.

[SAKOTXA]

I hate the way Lance shoots. Releases the ball from his hip. These guys have all the professional help they can get and can't develop a reliable mid range jumper with correct form?

Not when it comes to jumpshooting...

[bdreason]

This Nets roster. :oldlol:

[Nick Young]

nets playing the greatest game of their lives. Get Dlo back out there.

[SAKOTXA]

Randle is looking for the assist way too much right now. Green syndrome. Now it's affecting the offense. Padding assist stats is just as bad for the team as jacking up shots.

[ClipperRevival]

Bogdanovich has game. He just knows how to play the game. He's going to be a good one.

[SAKOTXA]

Smh...

[Bosnian Sajo]

Bogdanovich has game. He just knows how to play the game. He's going to be a good one.

He's like 29.

[SAKOTXA]

spot on

[ClipperRevival]

He's 27. Not going to get any better

At the NBA level he can. It's about finding his comfort zone. I just like his game. Maybe I am just catching him in a hot stretch?

[Bosnian Sajo]

Nah he's good, but we're responding to your comment about how he's gonna be a good one.



This is his peak, he's not getting any better. Which isn't bad, he's a starting SG (on a bad team, but still).

[Nick Young]

He was top scorer at the Olympics. He's streaky in the NBA so far. Pretty bad at defense.

[Mr. Jabbar]

Nets couldnt hold on to that lead going into the second half, now they're DOOMED against the BEST CLOSER squad in the league :pimp: :rockon: :cheers: :banana:

[SAKOTXA]

Deng is garbage :facepalm :facepalm

[Nick Young]

Deng is the worst player on the team. I feel bad when I watch him play, teenage Ingram is already better.

[Mr. Jabbar]

this team can climb soo high just by getting rid of lol deng

[TheGreatDeraj]

Mozgov blew two amazing alley oops :lol

Love this team though...just oozing with potential and fun to watch

[SAKOTXA]

Our bench about to go apeshit :applause:

[Mr. Jabbar]

that nets guy looks like the sherminator

[Bosnian Sajo]

Gotta give it up for Lopez, dude hustles.

[Bosnian Sajo]

Dloooo!!!


7 threes!

[SAKOTXA]

Smh Lopez is now a full on 3 point shooter :lol

[Bosnian Sajo]

Randle is acting weird man, he's forcing it trying to get his 10th assist.


Let it come naturally.

[Bosnian Sajo]

JC, and 1!

[SAKOTXA]

This game is way too close..

[Nick Young]

Luke Walton is the best coach in the NBA, look how he has this team playing offensively

[Mr. Jabbar]

no garbage team is complete until they hire luis scola

[Gatorade Sax]

Man Lakers games are high scoring! Picked the over/under in every game today, but this one is looking tight! See if these teams tighten up in the crunch.

[Nick Young]

Clarkson always goes Super Saiyan in the fourth, like clockwork

[Nick Young]

Yes randle looking for the pass is hurting the team, he should just take the 3 if Shook Lopez gives him that much space.

[Mr. Jabbar]

randle went from offensive black hole last year to magic johnson this season, sweet spot lies in between

[SAKOTXA]

Vasquez is a free agent?

[Mr Feeny]

Go lakeshow!

[Smoke117]

lol The defense by both these teams is a joke.

Bogdonavic continuing the tradition of random scrubs to have the greatest game of their lives against the Lakers.

[AirTupac]

Really didnt like D'Angelo throwing up those 3's at the end because of how desperate he wanted to be THE GUY to close the game. Bruh it comes in due time. Not chucking and getting blocked like a bozo :oldlol:

[TheGreatDeraj]

Ingram is very smart and really knows how to use his length, especially on defense. He plays under control and always seems to be in command.

I see him as a Durant/Leonard combo

He had a nice basket, a block, a forced turnover and a tipout for an offensive board in the last three minutes alone.

He needs a few years, but I see him with the most potential on the team and that's remarkable considering Russell, Randle and Clarkson look great and Nance Jr looking like a beast as well.

Every Laker has an aspect of the Mamba's spirit in them.

Russell has Mamba's ruthlessness and clutch genes, but also the worst of young mamba's desire to be be the hero (think Kobe his first 4 years in the league)
