Lonzo reacting to Beverley's incessant trash talk with the dead eyes of somebody who's been playing 1on1 with Lavar Ball for nineteen years.

ha perfect

it begins

Report: Kevin Love was frustrated with move to center https://t.co/QZbGexBqrA

i'll play center if no one else wants to

if children start going their entire childhoods w/o a dominant lakers team i think theyd prob start to lose their insane grip on the LA market, for an nba team to so dominate the attention of a big city feels like it requires exceptional success

You're underestimating the depths of delusion the *lakersssss* fan base is capable of plumbing

And I say that with some genuine respect, there are die hard fans for real and that takes literally generations to go away. There are also fans who believe rambis was the best power forward of all time

ingram only shot 44% from the field in college

kevin love just is really not a center, let's be real here.

hey! i'll have you know that kevin love played center in high school.

I am unconvinced that ingraham is anything other than like the new age version of guys like rasho nesterivic where they just look like a center so they get made a center, except ingraham is long and gangly so everyone goes u look like Durant so go ball

De’Aaron Fox probably isn’t the fastest basketball player I’ve ever seen but I’ve never seen anyone run like him in NBA games. He’s like Randy Moss on a go route over and over.

yeah hes one of those players that just looks different, he bounces around even when hes not doing anything

Fox must have been hell on wheels as a six year old.

Fox also otm about in-n-out

u gotta admire someone who attacks the most holy institutions of their new home on day 1

(in n out is dope tho)

Fox looks unorthodox I love it

Fox to write a Palyers Tribune article about the overrated mission style burrito

In n out is good but most places have a local burger joint that’s better

the thing abt in n out its its cheaper than mcdonalds and theyre everywhere in CA, the question is not whats the best burger place, its what if mcdonalds was good

like i like shake shack better than in n out but theyre not really in the same category, in n out is better than five guys and five guys costs twice as much *disclaimer im not a huge "fry guy"

good burgers are easy to find now, good chicken sandwiches are still a problem here

chicken sandwich is def the vanguard

we need an advanced burger stat

only had five guys once in an airport but liked it more than in n out (which is fine)

i thinks its another category as well. way too much money

in other words lagoon otm

innout value cant be beat

haven't thought about in and out from a value standpoint but as an easy coaster the quality of the food is whatever, not something you "need to have" or whatever if you visit.

leaving the skin of a starchy russet potato on your fry certainly puts you in another category of bad

potato skin is so good tho!

five guys is all about large sloppy food, i feel like i've outgrown that. have never liked that style of fries as much as the traditional thin cut ones regardless

fancy waxy potato skins are good

I like potato skins on fries but don't think in n out executes that fry type very well

haven't thought about in and out from a value standpoint but as an easy coaster the quality of the food is whatever, not something you "need to have" or whatever if you visit.

flavor-wise it's really all about wether you like their 'spread' or not (m/l just thousand island dressing). I love it and get extra to dip the fries in.

I go to 5 Guys basically 100% for the cajun style fries.

not to change the subject but CP is out for a month w his knee thing

also kawhi can't walk up a short flight of stairs

seasons off to a great start :/

jfc

they should just cancel the season and try again next year

some random thoughts from the games ive watched so far:

– If Kelly Oubre makes a jump this year and everyone else holds court the Wiz are going to be really good
– Dangelo R is and will be the best player between Randle/Ingram/Ball and himself
– Schroeder is still one of my favorite plaers idc
– Paul Goerge / Roberson are gonna be hell for teams to navigate. And having Steven Adams is good too. Three great defenders in you're starting lineup can cover up quite a bit.
– Clint Cappella and Covignton are best value players in the league this year. both are gonna get mad pa
– Kinda felt bad when Chandler Parsons got boo'd but it's understandable. Dillan Brooks might be better than him after only one game.
– Jeff Teague is bad
– I take the under on Gentry being out by New Years
– CJ Miles is a great fit for the Raps if he can stay healthy

Rozier just got fouled on a 3 and went 0-3 at the line

lol we have smart jerseys now?

love to have my clothes participate in a russian ddos attack

pretty into the baby celtics. wonder if gordon can get back for the playoffs

the celtics babies keep trying to score at the rim on embiid and it doesn't work

lot of sloppy travel/carry/etc turnovers in this game with all the noobs

this game has been frustrating to watch, no one can get in rhythm since the refs are blowing the whistle on literally every possession
