    Great game between Lakers and Bucks, physical, hard-nosed battle mainly played in the post. It was cool to see Lebron and Giannis going at it, head to head. Lebron defended well and had more points, Giannis had the edge in the rebounding and both had several assists.

    Between the big two it was a stalemate with an edge to Lebron, but it was Anthony Davis who decided the game, after a dreary first half he shone in the second

    After that horrific 4th quarter, I now think in my mind the lakers would of taken seven game series against the clips

    Good Win for the Lakers; a Win They NEEDED in REED's Opinion...

    It Was Imperative They SHOW the Clippers They Could BEAT Them @ Full Strength, & They Did...More Importantly, Bron Had an Excellent Weekend Individually and There's an Official RACE for League MVP Now...

    i agree that the lakers needed the win more than the clippers did. avery bradley came up huge with 5 or 6 threes. meanwhile marcus morris couldnt make shit.

    I actually think Shamet can be a key factor when they meet in the post season. if he is hitting open shots then he could get some crunchtime minutes. Williams is a much better scorer but the lakers were clearly targetting him defensively. Beverly is a great defender but smallish if he gets switched onto james, and they will force him to make open shots. Shamet is a longer defender than either, and a better open shooter than beverly.

    All DUE Respect to Patrick Beverley's HUSTLE, SCRAPPY Play and Obviously He's a Perennial All-NBA Defender...

    That Said, He's a THIRSTY, CLOUT CHASING Bitch...Whenever He's in a Nationally Televised Game, REST ASSURED Beverley WILL Manufacture Some Sort of Situation w/a Star Player from the Opposing Team, to Get Some Camera Time...It's LAME and You Can Literally Set Your Watch By His Behavior...

    Was Funny as Hell Watching Him Get WORKED by Avery Bradley of All People...Ripped Beverley at Half Court, Converted on the Other End and Shit Talked His CLOUT CHASING Ass...

    avery bradley is a good player, and i mentioned at the time of the signing that he was an excellent addition to the lakers. that said, him making 6 three pointers is an aberration.

    not a huge beverley fan. his antics arent necessary.

    Admittedly I haven’t watched much of them but I think the two most overrated players in the league are Joel Embid and Luka Doncic. I’m not saying they aren’t good or even that they aren’t stars, just that they’re a bit overrated.

    Doncic is the real deal. a top player in the league who barely turned 21

    Exactly...

    Bradley IS Who he Is, a VALUABLE Piece in His Own Way, but it's HIGHLY Doubtful he Scores 24pts in ANY Game the Remainder of the Regular Season AND Playoffs...

    TheFUCK Does He Think He Is; Sometimey Danny Green???...

    Probably, seeing as how China just recalled their players with plans to resume playing in April. They planned this the whole time!

    Chinese league calls Americans back to play

    Any bets on who ‘Kemps’ themselves out of the league if this suspension runs for a long period? I think I said Carmelo last time but I doubt he will after his struggles. I’m thinking Chris Paul.

    it will be interesting to see who benefits from the break. i think memphis will get rest for morant who looks kinda like he hit the rookie wall. should get the 8th spot now.

    In Terms of All-Star Caliber Players, REED Would Definitely Keep an Eye on Embiid in This Regard...He's a Bit Heavy AS IS, In REED's Opinion...

    Zion Would Seem to Be on the Bubble, But There's NOfuckingWAY David Griffin Goes Even HALF a Day w/Out Monitoring Zion's Conditioning...

    Great call on Embiid. Yeah they’re going to be keeping a watchful eye on Zion. He has the look of a latent porker. Like Chiklis when he was filming The Shield. He lets off the training a little and he’s immense.

    Haha yeah I knew this was coming.

    First off, let's reflect through the years of my main criticisms of WB.

    1. Inefficiency. Russ has stopped shooting 3's, he had NO business shooting them. As a result, he's shooting at the best efficiency of his entire career by FAR. This criticism is now moot.

    2. Stat padding. You point to Adam's rpg as being similar to last year's. But, you didn't mention he's playing 6.4 less mins per game, and adjustment for pace. Btw, where's all these triple doubles at now? He's not stat padding anymore and even without a freaking center, no more triple doubles hmmm. He's stopped it, so the criticism is now moot as well. Was he doing this in the past 3 years, hell yeah he was.

    Dude has been in the league for over 10 years, no one thought he'd change. No one. But, I'm glad he did. It's better for the team, and his career.

    Am I now a fan of Russell Westbrook, he keeps this up and fuck yeah I will be.

    If Hakeem The Dream and the proper Rockets were still around the flopper and stat padder would leave basketball to be mumble rappers on Soundcloud.

    I seriously doubt this NBA thing is going to work. I think they won’t even make it to the start date and if they do start they’ll eventually be forced to shut it down.
