aron baynes had a few big games with the spurs in their last championship run. he's pretty athletic and strong and it doesn't surprise me that he'd do well with a dynamic point guard setting him up.

uh oh drummond 0-7 FTs tonight...

14 points / 21 boards and +28 isn't too bad tho

yeah and they won, i just want to believe so bad that he has become a good ft shooter

yeah, but i don't think he's a liability anymore and could do like 55% for the season, which would be a huge improvement.

by december I'll probably be like "45% would still be better than his career avg!!"

lol for sure, if he coulud just somehow hold at like 60%

he was laid up at home all fd up they wldnt even let him go online

this seems cruel!!

going online is a human right

no screens! he said he mostly watched his child and took walks, wish i cld find the article there was a good quote from him on the strangeness of life when youre not allowed to do anything

Drummond missed a free throw wide right on his first attempt and I decided this isn’t happening

Julius Randle is shooting 62% from the field with a per 36 of 24-12-3-1-2. Gets 19 minutes per game...

lakers rotations this year have been completely insane clarkson shd obvs be starting in front of ball too, wonder whats going on there, where its coming from

why do they hate him?

there is some thing abt how his qualifying offer next year if he doesnt start much this year is cheaper but its not that much cheaper

and if he keeps playing like this someone is just gonna step up w a big offer anyway

not sure if clarkson should be the starter, he's a good bench spark plug imo and not really a point guard anyway. lakers should probably be on the hunt to get a solid stable vet PG to split time with lonzo

a jameer nelson type

havent seen bogut play yet, he's washed right?

do the lakers need to be good this year to avoid losing a pick?

if the dude can't shoot that's bad but he seems like a pretty good passer. He seems like he's on skates a lot on defense, though.

bogut hasn't missed a free throw all season! or taken one

bogut played 5mins last night after missing some games and looked ready for bed the whole time

do the lakers need to be good this year to avoid losing a pick?

i believe its completely unprotected this year, celtics get it if it falls 2-5 otherwise philly gets it and the celtics get the better of next years philly or sacto picks as long as theyre not the 1 pick

basically the lakers have a big incentive to be good since theyre trying to sign free agents next year and they dont have a draft pick, and yet theyre starting two rookies with better players behind

this throw the rookies to the wolves shit feels like a bad magic idea to me

maybe they want ball to play enough to get good enough to package him in a deal

if so it seems to be backfiring!

it was weird how it took randle being the best guy on the floor for a few minutes last night for them to play him over bogut.

lonzo under 30% fg after tonight

my suggestion is he try shooting it like someone who has watched a basketball game before

what i wld do is shoot from the side of my body where the hand i shoot with is

shoot it from the back of your neck like shotput imo

scott van pelt just said “that shot is busted” during a lonzo highlight

has mudiay turned the corner?

justin jackson two games in a row w some nice scoring. both games got 30 minutes. both games were wins vs good teams

has mudiay turned the corner?

I have a problem with the josh Jackson/Justin Jackson/Justin Holliday situation

def those first two. very confusing.

mudiay has earned his starting spot back in the least

Apparently Charles Barkley said Arvydas Sabonis is better right now than Jokic and they all laughed at Reggie for comparing him to Chris Webber. Great stuff.

they're blatant hatred for the current NBA is sad. i only watch the KG portion of that show now, usually on youtube the next day.

congratulations to americas sweethearts

The Cavaliers are the first team since the 1994 Timberwolves to give up 112 points in 10 consecutive games.

the 1994 wolves, that was not a strong basketball team let me tell you

defense. we just don't like to play it guys. nbd really

tbf its kinda a pain in the ass

does it seem like there have been a shitload of 120-114 type games this season, more than normal i mean?

and jeez i was watching a Lonzo highlight reel earlier today and maybe his stats aren't historically bad or anything, there have been plenty of guys who have put up lines like that, but he *looks* historically bad.
