Well, the NBA just continues to deliver. The Lakers Retirement Village is imploding after 2 games where they have looked pretty average. They get the Grizzlies today
it looks like, at the start at least, it's going to be an up and down year. Teams are playing well one day, then losing badly the next.
They have 9 new players in the squad, it's going to take time. I think Russ needs to play on the second unit and run the show with Howard, Melo, and Ariza when he gets back. He is wasted as a third option to AD and LBJ on the first unit

yeah, that's gonna happen.
These dudes have egos. big ones. someone, actually a few guys, are gonna have to shelve them if they want to go anywhere.
They'll come right, probably finish 4th or 5th, and back themselves to make a run late. But i expect trades.

There's more in here. He had 40 and 10 - he looks like Iverson to me. It's worth watching the Grizzlies just to see him go:

Decent comparison, but I think he could be better than AI. The extra 3 inches height and 5kgs alone helps

fucking wait on
MVP; Four scoring titles; Rookie of the Year
led a team of scrubs to the NBA finals
Morant has ticked off one of those things. Lets not get ahead of ourselves

Solid double-double from Rotorua's finest as well, started and played 34 mins. 6 assists!
He looks like a good fit with Ja, I like some of the easy ones he got from Ja splitting them open.
He always seemed to have the skills, he has soft hands good coordination and reasonable speed. He was underutilised in OKC

Sacrilege bro. 😎
AI had that killer instinct and supreme confidence from his days in high school, through to the Hoyas and then as a rookie.
Ja has amazing talent and a natural athleticism that has him above the rim (and below in terms of jelly). It will be interesting to see if he goes the way of a Westbrook in terms of drive and competitiveness or the way of John Wall who had all the athletic attributes but has just petered out somewhat.

Honestly, I think he will be better than all those guys. The will to win of Russ and AI, but a better shooting touch and temperament than both. I think he's the real deal. Wall could have been special but injuries just killed him
Edit to clarify, I think Wall was never going to be a #1 guy (certainly not scorer) in this league. He could have been a Stockton/Kidd mash-up if he found himself next to an elite guy. But his ceiling is always a 2nd banana for me

jesus, the regular season really is just a chore to get through for the playoff sides
It's the 4th fucking game of the season and LBJ is having a rest
Yes, it's only the Spurs, but man...

goddam it San Antonio. Up 12 at 3/4 i said to myself "just score 18 in the 4th and we are home"
They scored 17 and lost in OT.

[jinx] Warriors 4-0 [/alert]

I think this is exactly why they got Westbrook, to allow Lebron to take time off, both within games and for whole games. It makes much more sense than having them on the court together
