A40:And you want to champion the change right here on Nairaland, Lol. A40:Lol, see the way the Clippers were using all their energy just because they wanted to make a statement against us, they don't know that the NBA is a marathon not a sprint. We dash clippers regular season champions sef, if that's what they want. We'll know who's boss when the playoffs comes. A40:We haven't even had a chance to know what his mentality is like and you're here talking about mentality. All the mentality KD claimed to have, how many titles did it give him with Westbrook? |

benji93:Ok, at least give them more than one game na |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 10:17am On Oct 23, 2019 |
A40:Have this same energy when Clippers play your GS o. I will surely be here for you. Or have you switched to the Nets? |

While it is still game one, there are some fundamental issues the Lakers must address after game one. The first and most important is Lebron playing PG. I do understand Rondo’s absence may have necessitated this tactics last night and I hope it is not the strategy for the season because it would fail. Bron spent 16 seconds, more in other instances with the ball before making a decision to pass or take a shot and this killed the offense tremendously. Also, the Clippers caught the wind of the power pick and roll between Bron and Davis and they worked hard to deny AD the ball and if he got it, they ensured James was sucked in that it did not matter anymore, consequently, we saw a lot of reset after the pick. The one advantage the Lakers have is their length. That thing is stifling especially on the defense. The combination of McGee, AD, Bron, Kuzz and others can alter offenses and force changes in offensive schemes for the opponent, however, that advantage looked limited to the defense from what I saw last night. The Lakers do not have perimeter scoring. D. Green went off last night and shamed me but I will not count on his consistency just yet. Out of Green, I can not remember another player who was dangerous from the perimeter. I expect some adjustments as players like Kuzz and Rondo return from injury but don’t get it twisted, the Clippers are above the Lakers and this is without PG13. |

Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 2:39pm On Oct 23, 2019 |
Roland17:Naaa, I ain't buying it |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 2:50pm On Oct 23, 2019 |
Roland17:Both, tbh. If you were talking solely on what you were seeing in that game I might agree with some of what you said. First of, for you to say we lack perimeter shooting is absurd. Do you know how many 40% 3pt shooters we have on that team? I'd say the coach lost this game for us, because I'm sure it was his decision to always create through LeBron. He was slow most times. We didn't move the ball around. Having Rondo would have freed LeBron a little bit for him to play as a forward a few times. Again, we might be judging them too harshly and early, because Clippers are a damn good team. And they were really fired up last night, they played like underdogs who wanted to prove a point. So, judge us when we are 10-20 games in. |

Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:35pm On Oct 23, 2019 |
steady986: You obviously chose to read what interests you in my subsequent posts because if you read the entirety you would see where I mentioned the impact of injuries in yesterday’s lineup especially with Bron playing the point. You are not going to the play the Clippers all 82 games so the Lakers are definitely going to make adjustments even with the injured players out. 1 Like |

steady986:Ohhhh I been knew this since last season. Even your guy knows, that's why even with Anthony Davis (a 'top' 5 player) he was still begging Kawhi to join his team despite KD leaving Golden State. Clearing the doubt of you Bronsexuals is the koko. Kawhi has the crown steady986:Lmaoooo see this Joker. When you lot were using your energy to beat Golden State in ordinary preseason and last Christmas and your team's social media people were issuing warnings you didn't know NBA was a marathon ba? We will know for sure who's boss in the playoffs. steady986:You're sniffing glue if you think Anthony Davis is on KD's level mentality wise |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 3:44pm On Oct 23, 2019 |
I liked what I saw yesterday. Lebron forcing the issue, DH looking for his rhythm, but even more importantly, the ability to play lockdown defense for stretches. I won't over analyze the game. It boiled down to shots just not falling for the lakers, and they were still in the game! |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:45pm On Oct 23, 2019 |

Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 4:47pm On Oct 23, 2019 |
steady986: lol. I already predicted exactly what will happen. There is nothing new. LAL will beat some other teams but if they had to get past Clippers to do it, they won't. BTW, when Shannon Sharpe and others were saying they liked what they saw about LAL because they the beat G-league Warriors I did not see you here reminding people it was one game. |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 7:00pm On Oct 23, 2019 |
Eruditor:Afterall Nets beat us twice without Kyrie and KD. Does that mean they're better than us? Probably not. I paid no attention to preseason. |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 7:13pm On Oct 23, 2019 |
A40:If you can show me proof that Bron was begging Kawhi, then I'll believe your blabbing. A40:We used all our energy and yet both AD and Bron never played up to 22 minutes in any of the games. Curry was busy knocking down threes and mean mugging Antetokounmpo, Cacok, Daniels and Norvell. That guy no get joy at all. A40:It's not AD that went to join a 73 win team that had 3 all stars. |
