[ArbitraryWater]

Why?

[fourkicks44]

Philadelphia get the Thunder first round pick if they make the 5 seed essentially.

It's top 20 protected.

We need it bad.

Jazz won today so they need this win.

[Marchesk]

LeMane getting bullied early.

[Axe]

Ad is the one to save the day if lakers are going to win

[fourkicks44]

That fall by Adams looked bad.

Tough SOB tho

[StrongLurk]

Lol Lebron is total shit from the perimeter. Lakers are a first round exit with him being a Ben Simmons clone.

Well, he's going to have his own version of load management rn if he's planning to unleash his full power in the upcoming postseason. :lol

[Clippersfan86]

I've been on the Thunder bandwagon since they got CP3. I love this team. Them and the Mavs are my side pieces right now. They have some huge wins vs good teams this year, I'm not even shocked they are smacking the Lakers so far TBH. Stupid talent, deep, clutch. CP3 revenge tour continues. PLEASE get the 5 seed and play the Rockets in round 1.

[34-24 Footwork]

That fall by Adams looked bad.

Tough SOB tho

Thats practically how I ruptured my Achilles and tore my meniscus. Crazy that he's "ok". What in the actual fvck..

[34-24 Footwork]

OKC isn't having a great game either. Outside of CP3 and SGA, OKC looks like a summer league team.

[34-24 Footwork]

Lmao. Yoooo. OKC is unwatchable. Holy shit.
Move the team back to Seattle and reshape the franchise top to bottom.

[red1]

lakers getting shit on. everyone playing like trash. :oldlol:

[NBAGOAT]

gallo has been nice. professional bucket getter

[34-24 Footwork]

gallo has been nice. professional bucket getter

Lmao. No he's not. He just looks decent with a team that has no offensive capability outside of CP3.

[NBAGOAT]

Lmao. No he's not. He just looks decent with a team that has no offensive capability outside of CP3.

what about the clips last year when he was playing with lou harrell and harris at times? the thunder usually have dennis so cp3, shai, and dennis have offensive capabilities. I have a lower standard than you for just a bucket getter however

[Lebron23]

Lakers are obviously tanking. They want the thunder to have a better record than rockets. Setting up a clippers vs rockets first round matchup.

[Marchesk]

That's what you call coming with a strong double team. Coming with intention and purpose.

:lol

[Marchesk]

How many times is Adams going to be hitting the floor?

5-31 from three for Lakers.

[fourkicks44]

Damn this is turning into an ass woopin.

I didn't expect this.

I'm happy with it tho. :D

[Airupthere]

Lebron still getting his numbers. Got to statpad

[red1]

Damn this is turning into an ass woopin.

I didn't expect this.

I'm happy with it tho. :D

:oldlol:

[NBAGOAT]

okc's bench is pretty hopeless without dennis

[34-24 Footwork]

Lakers need a point guard that can create EASY shots for other players.

And by easy shots, I'm not talking about semi-open three pointers on every possession. That's the only type of facilitating Lebron is good for, unfortunately. He needs to play like a traditional SF to open up the offense which will require him to take non-layups/dunks.

[Marchesk]

https://i.postimg.cc/L8H4vkjd/Wide-Open-3-Airball.png

That's as wide open a three as you'll get, and it was if Kendrick Perkins was shooting. Bad looking airball.

[34-24 Footwork]

Lebron still getting his numbers. Got to statpad

this Nikka WILL end up shooting 50% by the end of this shit. All layups. Lol.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

LeBron can't shoot threes for shit today. Oh well, I think Lakers just tanked this game.

[Axe]

Well, both the clippers and the rockets can give the lakers are a run for their own money come postseason, i dare you.

Also how can those two teams face in the first round when the mavs currently sit at the 7th spot? It's not likely that the rockets or thunder will lose almost 30 games either in the remaining ones prior to the playoffs.

[34-24 Footwork]

LeBron can't shoot threes for shit today. Oh well, I think Lakers just tanked this game.

In a 7 game series, it will end up being another Lebron team that ends losing by another record margin. Once a team is able to play him one vs one, force him to be a scorer, and stay home with the shooters, it's been a recipe for disaster for any Lebron led team. The Drive n Kick becomes ineffective and the team gives up.

[fourkicks44]

:oldlol:

:oldlol:

I'm back in my natural habitat....

Prioritising acquiring other team's first round draft picks and rooting against the Lakers

Just like the good ol days.

I agree. 2013 heat played worse then spurs and got lucky. 2016 Draymond was out. 2012 was his only real chip and Wade was still a superstar at the time.

He's talking about 2nd round.

Winner of 4/5 seed plays Lakers
Winner of 3/6 seed plays Clippers

[Tobio-Star]

At least now the coach will take the shooting issue more seriously. This blowout is a blessing in disguise

[Axe]

All starters from okc scored in double figures during this game lmao

[Axe]

You haven't read his post earlier. He said a first-round matchup bet. the rockets and clippers.

[34-24 Footwork]

I cant name more than 4 OKC players. Not kidding

CP3
Adam
Gallanari
SGA

[HBK_Kliq_2]

You haven't read his post earlier. He said a first-round matchup bet. the rockets and clippers.

Yeah his post makes sense when you replace 1st round with 2nd round.

But people are overrating the rockets. Their rim protector is pj tucker lol they will get crushed on defense in a playoff series. Thunder still have Chris Paul calling the shots, Denver has the big 3 of Jokic/Murray/Porter now

[Tobio-Star]

Offensively LeBron looked really good tho, his body probably just needed some time to get going again.

And Markieff looks promising as well. Flippers wont be able to even approach the paint at this point

[NBAGOAT]

dennis schroders going be top 2 in 6moy voting man haha. You been watching less this year?

[34-24 Footwork]

dennis schroders going be top 2 in 6moy voting man haha. You been watching less this year?

Ok. So Dennis Schroder.

Literally 5 players on the roster. Who tf are the rest of these g-leaguers?

[LeCramp]

Why doesnt lebron ****ing post up Chris Paul? I dont ****ing get it....everytime he goes to the post...he doesnt post up the smaller player.....this guy has no go to moves....pathetic

[NBAGOAT]

Ok. So Dennis Schroder.

Literally 5 players on the roster. Who tf are the rest of these g-leaguers?

yea their bench is completely carried by staggering their good players. dort's got some promise but you're right came out of the g league

Edit: forget noel he's their 6th best player for sure

Hey Bosnian F@kkit. Rajon is going to return in the playoffs.

[Clippersfan86]

Lmao. No he's not. He just looks decent with a team that has no offensive capability outside of CP3.

Huh? He's a top 15 offensive player the last 3 healthy seasons. He's good dude. He's a borderline all star. For example last year he was our best player hands down.

[Manny98]

Point God toying with these Lakers :applause:

[ImJosh]

Great win for us, I genuinely believe we can go deep in the playoffs with this team

We didn't even have Schroeder and we still destroyed these Fakers :lol

[SATAN]

Lakers lost on purpose to manipulate seeding imo. LeBron/Cleveland used to do the same kind of thing. Good to see CP have a good game though.

[dbugz]

libron :roll: :roll:

oh really?

When did CLE do that and of what purpose would it be to lose today?

[tpols]

I told yall the thunder are more dangerous to the lakers than the rockets. Steven Adams is a beast and really helps inside which is Lakers biggest strength... And then they have chris paul leading the march who is much smarter and better than boneheads like westbrook and harden. Sprinkle a little Gallo in the mix and it's an easy pick.

[PP34Deuce]

When Steven Adams and Mcgee bumped knees... the game changed a lot. I think the Lakers came in wanting to play hard for momentum purposes then pulled back while the Thunder played harder. Not discrediting the Thunder but the Lakers def mailed it in after the half. It doesn't matter if Steven Adams is a paint protector, if AD moves to the 5, he opens the lane negating Steven Adams. Force them to play Noel and AD eats him alive.

[StrongLurk]

Lot of excuses in here for the Lakers.

Since when does missing 90% of your open shots = not trying as hard. They clearly tried to make their jumpshots but couldn't.

The Lakers might be the worst "shooting" team in the bubble so far.

[dbugz]

You'll appreciate CP more when he's leading a team w/out another superstar on his side.

Just like his good old days in NO.

I like okc as much as anyone but think you’re overhyping them. Okcs got the worst depth of the top 7 teams in the West. Lot of athletes who can’t shoot who won’t be playable in the playoffs. Noel is their only guy I trust in the playoffs and he can only play when Adams is out. Also asking a lot of a 2nd year in shai and Dennis.

Harden and Westbrook may be dumber but they’re more talented and have quality players around them who fill their role. I even trust someone like Jeff green over anyone on the thunder bench besides Noel.

Jazz are kind of done without Bojan but still solid and conley and ingles have been a lot better in the bubble. The nuggets could be really scary if mpj could be productive fur 20-25mpg in the playoffs. Playoff jokic is also a thing, he’s just so lazy during the rs and is capable of elevating

[PP34Deuce]

Missing jump shots is either a focus thing or a rough stretch. I'd rather go through a shooting funk now and peak at the right time come playoffs.

There's no excuse really. Thunder had momentum and played harder. Lakers came playing hard until the Steven Adams and Mcgee clash. You could tell defensively and even offensively they dialed back--It wasn't a do or die game for seeding for them.

OKC has good deph at the wings. Lakers won't have a problem with them or Houston if matched up.

[PP34Deuce]

Denver should scare a lot of teams. Michael Porter has Tatum and beyond type potential and he's off the bench destroying 2nd units.

OKC aint nothing to LAL

How pathetic!!!
