The crazy thing is how many teams could have actually benefited with Carmelo even with his liabilities on defense. I would much rather have him than some of Lakers bench players. Like Jared Dudley.

Not a surprise what so ever. Lakers lose. Even if they win the series they are done as far as going anywhere in the playoffs. Sad.

The team has no shooting. Good game for Lebron but all for nothing.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #22389 on:** August 19, 2020, 12:34:15 AM »

oh btw Frank Vogel I'm tired of having Anthony Davis shoot 3's. Just saying. Maybe do something about that.

Everyone acted like Melo's career was over after Rockets dropped him after 10 games as if he was the reason they were losing.

Feels like Clippers had a shot to come back and Doc put out terrible lineups to prove a point of some kind.

ToxicAdam · « **Reply #22395 on:** August 20, 2020, 09:11:28 AM »

If the Mavs win the series I'm going to be pissed at you mfers that said they had no shot. I would've made some money.

Akala · « **Reply #22396 on:** August 20, 2020, 10:36:35 AM »

highly unlikely is where you make the money

PG had a terrible night, sticking to prediction. Dallas has a good core and should only get better though.

for tonight...could it be...Rondo time?

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #22397 on:** August 20, 2020, 04:54:31 PM »

It's not like I'm rooting for the Clips but its still HIGHLY UNLIKELY they lose this series.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #22398 on:** August 20, 2020, 10:11:32 PM »

Rare decent Half for the Lakers since the restart. Decent. Not especially good but decent. Which is a big step up from complete dog shit.

They only sent the top pick to Minnesota because of the SJWBLM agenda.

I hope we get 4 or 5, so we can be "stuck" with a pick like Ball, Wiseman, or Okoro. That way when it doesn't pan out, I can still talk shit like we had no other choice.

George looks scared to literally take a shot at the moment I'm not exaggerating. He may pull it together before the end of the game but he is lost right now.

Crazy ass game. Luka was phenomenal. That was a legendary game for him. Legendary disappearance for Paul George.

Leonard was actually pretty good. I mean I think he is the best player in basketball and he almost won that for that with no help from PG. Lou Williams was also pretty great of course. That was an amazing game. And to win without Porzingis was wow.

Paul George has always been just a really good player to me and not one of the greats, but has he ever disappeared in the playoffs like this?

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #22429 on:** August 24, 2020, 01:14:48 PM »

https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/g/georgpa01/gamelog-playoffs/

I mean he has had a few back to back bad games before but I think the issue is mainly that he also has never played on a team this talented before. He doesn't actually need to play like an insane superstar. All he needs to do is play good defense and just be competent on offense. The last three games he has been terrible on offense and his defense which should always be good hasn't been up to his standards.

The Rockets are just a nightmare to play against.

57 3 pointers attempted in the game. Which leaves 33 2 point attempts. They just break basketball.

That being said, I'm glad this series has tightened to 2-2.

He has to have a bounce back game, because he can't play worse.
