Memphis Sizzurp

Memphis Brawlers? Memphis Horns? Memphis Blues? Memphis Collards?

all the olde timey names are hilarious the knickerbockers wtf

memphis bbq seems obv to me

The LA teams should be the Movers and Shakers

nuggets, pistons, timberwolves, hornets, cavaliers are all top tier names

celtics is the best cause its the only ethnically derived name

celtics is bad if you ignore the part of your brain thats used to it

jazz is bad they shd be renamed the mormons

Knickerbockers is a dope as fuck name

def top 3

hive would be good if only to deflect non-mormon noobs

chicago lakers

Great win for the suns!

they look like a normal team now. tJ warren never really played well under watson. he should be their 2nd best player behind booker.

jakob poeltl carving up the dubs

Wow Ingram! Nice comeback From the Yung lakers to force OT

painful

More like John Fence

john door

lavar vindicated

lonzo air ball

its sad we only got bad suns for a few games feel like that wouldve been a good plotline to stretch out for like a quarter of the season

i guess theres a lil residual drama with bledsoe, mcdonough might be in a position to convince him to stay if he hadnt started beef with him in the media lol

hmm maybe the jazz aren't actually good. they dominated okc though

the Ingles/rubio tandem is fun to watch but they kinda suck when those 2 aren't on the floor

losing yr top scorer then going out and signing rubio isnt too much of a plan

lotta nba nerds were convinced the jazz wouldn't lose a step but it sounded like wishful thinking most of the time.

i don't think they've lost much of a step, they can still win 50 with this roster but 45 probably more likely

I do think they'll make the offs now which I didn't think at the time of predictions thread

theyre gonna have plenty of nights where they just can't score

their opponents are too though, it should balance out

im back on board with lonzo being good

But there’s a growing sense that Mirotic would find returning to a locker room with Portis difficult. In an odd way, the severity of Mirotic’s injuries could help assuage the delicate and fluid situation merely by the passage of time. Emotions remain raw for now.

if i were the lakers id hold lonzo out all year w a fake injury and have him start over from scratch on his shot, i mean he looks like an amazing player except for the one thing every perimeter player needs to be able to do, hey why not more teams shd red shirt their rookies

it's not like anyone else on that team can shoot so what's the difference ?

this is gonna be like the dray vs klay thread all over again

lol is this a pattern is lakers drafting, the shooting doesnt matter theory

we really just need to go to euro academy model so guys dont show up in the nba w fucked up habits

wld also have the good effect of hollowing out shady hs/college athletics

Kyrie Irving said he took three steps on this court and immediately noticed it doesn't feel the same as a regular NBA court. Seems concerned

lonzo ball = kevin martin x jason kidd
