    **Boston Celtics**

    Kemba Walker
    Jaylen Brown
    Jayson Tatum
    Gordon Hayward
    Enes Kanter

    its a pretty formidable starting lineup and having marcus smart, daniel theis, semi ojeleye, robert williams, poirier and the rookies carsen edwards, grant williams and romeo langford coming off the bench. (Tacko Fall on a 2way contract, dark horse development material)

    if they can build chemistry and stevens can rotate guys in properly and find good suited lineups they could be in the mix come the playoffs.

    Lebron James is almost 35, and his body has a lot of wear on it because he's been in the NBA since 2003 (!!)

    He didn't look quite right last night. Now, it's true that his teams usually start off slow, and it's true that they were facing a good Clippers defense, but it really is possible that his age is finally showing.

    Lebron can't be Lebron forever. People are taking or granted how much basketball players tend to decline in their mid-30s.

    What is the intent of this post, I wonder.

    Wasn’t your last LeBron post “something something playoff mode”?

    You can’t walk that back. You believed. You are a fan. You’re West Coast and it’s a congenital weakness. You aren’t strong enough to survive this condition long term, buddy.

    The Lakers destroyed their franchise with this lazy acquisition. LeBron was old then and he’s a little older now. Worse, he’s a cancer.

    Look, I already own that storyline. However, I am a forward looking gentleman and the notion of Kawhi taking LA from LeBron fills me with a lot of newfound optimism and joy.

    Look at this. LeBron has gotta be dying inside.



    Sorry BCR.

    Sorry wow. Gimme one more.

    The end of the commercial...

    This is his job
    ...it’s going well
    This is his city


    Shots fired.

    Moar please. Buckle up or does LeBron fold?

    The guy is understated and likable - the polar opposite of Druff’s boy.

    Sanlmar, I said the Lakers would make the playoffs.

    Not that they'd contend.

    You are responding to an NBA strawman here.




    But if this is just an excuse to keep jerking your meat to Kawhi Leonard, then by all means continue.

    Also the Celtics looked dysfunctional and overrated tonight, as per usual.

    Why I bet the over on them, I'll never know.

    Kyrie scar tissue. They are disfigured now and will never get a woman.

    If LeBron had a little brother it would be Kyrie

    Kawhi is the anti LeBron so, yeah, I’m in a committed relationship now.

    Been listening to podcasts and talk radio reaction to the game, and it is interesting how all the talk is about how Lebron ran out of gas in the 2nd half and kawhi surged. I actually watched the whole game and while the clippers went on their run at the beginning of the 4th to gain separation the truth is Lebron generated a ton of open 3 point looks for supposed 3 point specialists (cook, Daniels, KCP) and they missed every one. His own 3 bal was off too, but that isn’t a big surprise as it often is.


    If the lakers wings make a few of their open 3’s the game goes a lot different. Also, Harrell really abused them down low. The lakers went small and took out their centers and neither lebron or Davis wanted anything to do with covering Harrell, so he was abusing the wings covering him (eg dudley, KCP) down low.

    I just checked the +/- and the Lakers were +0 with McGee and -1 with Howard, so they pretty much lost the game in the first few minutes of the 4th when they went small and all their wings missed a bunch of open 3s and Harrell has his way down low.

    Also Howard lost a bunch of weight and looks more like a wing now than a center, but still can’t shoot, so worst of both worlds, but still held his own compared to when they went small.

    Been watching the Laker games. Dwight Howard (at least through 4 games) is basically the poor man's Montrezl Harrell. He is the energy/grinder guy off the bench, which is what Harrell is, except he is way less skilled and effective than Harrell.

    I've already had more than enough of Hassan Whiteside after four games.

    He can have great games (and has this year) and throw up shocking stat lines like 30-25, but just clearly gives no shits at all. I shudder to think how badly Joel Embiid is going to destroy him when I go to my first game of the year on Saturday.

    Would much rather watch guys who suck but try hard, like Meyers Leonard.

    Yeah, this Warriors team really is shit. No Durant and no Klay.

    Also.... 317 points in regulation today in the Houston/Washington game.

    159-158.

    Really is a new era.

    Imagine if you could have bet on this at under 316.5 -110, how much would you have put down?
