    Yall in here complaining about the Lakers.

    Yall see the Clippers Yikes!!!!!!!! I was ready to call the cops for elder abuse.

    Utah looked young and explosive.

    and the Clippers looked old old and old.

    glad we didn’t sign Beal.

    I’ve seen an old team like this I remember when we played Golden State in 2013 you could see it.

    You clearly missed the pooprtunity for 6 separate posts here ;).

    While I have no big expectations for this season anymore (mostly due to LeBron's attitude and health), I still believe this team is capable of a good RS record and maybe even homecourt in the first round. The lack of any obvious progress in the areas which were our biggest issues last season worries me though. Some of it is on the players, but most of the blame should go to the coaching staff. It's way too early to judge them one way or the other and I reserve judgment until at least like game 20, but I want to see some real improvement sooner rather than later. If tomorrow they come out lackadasical against the team that embarrassed them in the playoffs a couple of months ago, I will be really pissed and - yes - worried.

    I’d figure out a package for Dallas Rui Hachimura Dalton Kinect and a 2031 1st round pick unprotected

    for Derek Lively and Max Christie and any trash back to make the salaries work.

    they clearly have an ubundance of Centers. Give Luka his roaming Center and give us our best 3-D back Max Christie. We can use him better than you can.

    or figure something out for Markanhan

    or Malik Monk. We just need more bounce on this team.

    I keep going back to Jerami Grant.

    yeah, i watched the game, and flagg looked good, tbh. this is why box score watching doesn't cut it. dylan harper had better stats but actually didn't look good at all to me. AD looked pretty terrible, and the mavs' lack of shooting is going to be a huge problem. thompson looked like he should retire yesterday; dlo was missing layups left and right, it was a horror show for dallas.

    dallas can't trade with us again, and lively is probably worth our entire non-luka roster plus all the picks lol. ok, not that far, but the ask would start at reaves.

    with ainge? he wanted a markkanen package for kessler.

    we need athletic defenders. monk isn't that.

    they'll be fine, but i'm guessing i won't see everyone saying lue should be fired because he didn't have them properly prepared or whatever.

    I saw the Clippers being projected as a top team and legitimately do not understand what people are seeing.

    They are old, injury prone, and constantly underachieve even when healthy.

    Anyone who has ever even casually betted on NBA games is not surprised at all that folks are being investigated and arrested.

    Keon Ellis would be a 28 min starter with us here - it just feels like a no brainer

    Wow
