When can we talk about how the Lakers fleeced the pelicans? |

A40: You lot are going to make me hate this kid aren't you?

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 9:10am On Dec 13, 2019 |
Dion waiters is just hopeless. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:44pm On Dec 13, 2019 |
KarnBarlow:Really the Mavs are a lottery team without Luka Doncic. Can't say that for any of the other contenders. Just give him MVP already |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:52pm On Dec 13, 2019 |
A40: What are the rockets without harden? What are the lakers without LeBron? Objectively... |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:24pm On Dec 13, 2019 |
KarnBarlow:The Rockets have Westbrook who can shoulder the load. The Lakers have Anthony goddamn Davis a top 5 player in the league and like you said a DPOY. On the Mavericks team can you point to a top 30 player in the league not named Luka Doncic? |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 3:33pm On Dec 13, 2019 |
A40: I'm glad AD is starting to get the respect he deserves. I guess so far the move has worked out after all, wouldn't you say? |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:55pm On Dec 13, 2019 |
KarnBarlow:When has AD not gotten respect though. Going into the season when ESPN made their list he was #5 if I recall correctly. And I also recall Stephen A picking the Lakers to win it all largely because of AD and the matchup problems he would pose to the Clippers. I think the consensus was he kinda underperformed with the Pelicans, their performance thus far this season shows it might not entirely have been AD's fault. Whether it's the coaching or something there is a problem there |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 3:56pm On Dec 13, 2019 |
I'm convinced the Knicks front office is filled with crackheads.
|
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 4:05pm On Dec 13, 2019 |
A40: Hence getting the respect he deserves. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:12pm On Dec 13, 2019 |
KarnBarlow:Nobody was not respecting Anthony Davis. I don't see your angle |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 5:39pm On Dec 13, 2019 |
A40: Ohh please, all the hot takes on this thread, calling him all sorts of names from a beta to overrated because of what happened in NO. Now you're admitting its not all his fault. Hence you're learning to respect him a bit more. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:47pm On Dec 13, 2019 |
KarnBarlow:What hot takes? You can be super skilled and still have a beta mindset. People call KD a beta after all doesn't mean they are not elite ballers. I will still question ADs mentality till he proves me wrong but that doesn't mean I don't recognize what he is capable of Don't get it twisted. AD should have led the Pelicans to more wins. That is not debatable. However one must also point out the team is playing far worse than even it's floor level. You can't tell me with a straight face you expected the Pelicans to be the second worst team in the West |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:15pm On Dec 13, 2019 |
A40: Therefore, the lakers without LeBron will also be a lottery team yes? especially since this supporting cast is worse than the one he had in NO no? |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 7:03pm On Dec 13, 2019 |
KarnBarlow:That would be an indictment on AD. You still don't get it Bear in mind LeNomad traded the entire squad just to get AD. They were literally a lottery team last year without AD |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 7:17pm On Dec 13, 2019 |
A40: But what you said about him being a beta is an indictment on him is it not? hence what you are saying is without LeBron AD is not an alpha and can't lead this team to anything other than the lottery. So as good as AD is, the team is a lottery team without LeBron. Make up your mind, its either hes not alpha enough to lead or hes good enough to lead. You can't have it both ways. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 7:43pm On Dec 13, 2019 |
The heat haven't lost at home, the lakers havent lost outside of the staples. The 2 seed in the east vs the 1 seed in he west. This is going to be a good game. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 7:55pm On Dec 13, 2019 |
KarnBarlow:Indictment on his mentality. A #1 pick in his prime should not be joining a team where he is being questioned as the best player. Had he gone to Boston for instance with the season he is having do you think anyone would not have him as a runaway MVP candidate? AD did not consistently show his ability to lead his team to anything other than the lottery. His first chance to do that and he opts to be a second banana to Bron. KarnBarlow:Of course regarding his mentality not his skills. Like I said he was ranked as a top 5 player going into this season. I wasn't the one that made the rankings. Is he good enough to lead? Lol if he was he wouldn't join the Lakers so that's pretty self explanatory Great as AD is do you think anyone would ever mention him in the same breath as a Duncan, Dirk or Karl Malone? No! |

A40:Does he play defense? |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 11:06pm On Dec 13, 2019 |

Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 12:04am On Dec 14, 2019 |
steady986:And? |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 2:57am On Dec 14, 2019 |
A40: i dont know what you are arguing here. I didnt say what you implied in 3rd paragraph. If you had researched Battier, you would have seen that his defensive prowess was more important than his 3s. His defensive IQ is just as good as anyone in the league. That would have helped your argument. But no, in your haste to condemn LeKing, you chose meaningless stats Ill say it again, shooting spot up 3s with no defense around you doesn't mean you are good. Anyone, even college players can do that. I know you cant bring yourself to admit how much Lebron makes others better. Thats on you.... |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:12am On Dec 14, 2019 |
birdman:Why are you needlessly jumping into a debate you're clearly oblivious of the trail and orisun of the entire discourse. In your desperation to defend your man you're just veering off tangent without rhyme or reason. We're arguing about the depth of the Heatles and not who LeNomad made better or worse. The bulk of these role players rely on teammates to get them open shots. I don't know why you're playing Captain Obvious and acting like you just discovered fire. This thing where you people feel the constant need to play defense when LeNomad was not actually even under attack is worrisome |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 3:17am On Dec 14, 2019 |
A40: bro calm down. take orijin. or gulder. or guiness. no wound yaself on top billionaire matter d way una go dey para on top dis matter. lol |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 3:47am On Dec 14, 2019 |
Boy that was intense . But we still managed to win even with our 19 turnovers. |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 3:49am On Dec 14, 2019 |
steady986: i like ugly wins tbh 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:15am On Dec 14, 2019 |
birdman:Alaye make person hear word jare. Nobody was not calm. It's you that took it upon yourself to misunderstand simple matter bringing completely unrelated yarns |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 4:29am On Dec 14, 2019 |
A40: las las you will kuku repent and proclaim LeKing! |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:00am On Dec 14, 2019 |
This Jazz team looking like a scam. Their bench is butt crack |
Re: The NBA Begins by LordAzubuike(f): 6:30am On Dec 14, 2019 |
NY Knicks should go to hell and rot there abeg. They suddenly found a mojo I can't understand. Winning as underdogs and tearing my betting coupons. Funniest thing is that it's just a flash in the pan. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:47am On Dec 14, 2019 |
And thats why the clippers are the scariest team in the NBA. When they're firing on all cylinders? lord have mercy. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:52am On Dec 14, 2019 |
Harden has been balling over the last 2 games. Super efficient 50 pieces. |
