NBA Regular Season thread: Tank for Cooper Flagg Initiated

channing frye went off on stephen A smith today for calling out lebron for not going to kobe's memorial or wades retirement ceremony. He said how lebron was at the memorial and that he wasnt at wade's ceremony because he was at the Mayo clinic in los angles for his sons heart surgery that day. Stephen A is a clown for going there

The Lakers biggest weaknesses are small, fast guards and enough versatile switch proof wings that can defend either LeBron and Luka to interrupt the flow.

Also, it hurts to play 15 games in 30 days. It hurts to be on the 2nd of a back to back. And it really hurts when the other team shoots 11/14 and hits the winner from half court.

The Bulls should be tanking. Fun win in a meaningless game.

I’d say that their weakness is athletic long two way players, who are skilled defenders and play aggressively (think Brown / Tatum). Teams with players that are fast enough to stay in front of Luka / LeBron, but also strong enough not to get pushed out of the way. Defending them physically and picking them up full court.

When these type of players defend them 1 on 1 and don’t blitz them, they shut down the assist game and are able to force turn overs. Luka is too slow to get back on defence (these type of teams tend to play fast as well). These type of players Also shut down Reeves, who doesn’t deal well with pressure from physical, aggressive defenders.

Seen quite a few games when the Lakers big three get smothered, discombobulated and frustrated.

The Celtics and Nets games exposed this quite a bit.

Really hoping to see the Lakers find a way around this, but it’s not a very deep squad that can fill those sort of holes.

Lastly you could say that Luka cost them this game, he jacked up so many out of rythum 3s and forcing bad shots, so many. He needs to play himself into rythum and share the ball more when his shot isn’t falling, it really costs them. He’s trying his best on defence though I guess..
 
yeah lebron fucked the lakers at the end. AR15 tried to carry us to victory but didnt get the help he needed
 
Lol at all the "Bulls should be tanking instead of competing" nonsense.

Just an absolute loser mentality. Everything that's wrong with this generation.

AR is why LeBron went to help, Luka dropped into no coverage and AR went to defend the top of the key and LeBron had to
move up which left the corner open.

LeBron made the right move, the problem is because Luka's poor drop a guy was open regardless.

Ill take your word for it since that ending was too painful for me to go back and watch. But even if the defense was not on him, the following turnover was. The bulls scoring 9 points in the final 12 seconds is just a kick to the nuts.

You just spam shit about lebron being a loser and football being worse than rugby whilst calling me "piano boy"

I like the piano because it requires creativity, something you should work on with your posts tbh. Its pretty sad how uncreative you are between here and the WR, where, unsurprisingly, you spend a lot of time as well. Geez I hope you don't hit me with a {<jordan} or <DCrying> gif like you do every other fucking post

I barely know who you are bud. I'm not sure what set you off this badly but the best part of whatever this mental breakdown is supposed to be is that you quoted a post that mentions none of LeBrick, football, rugby, the piano, the War Room or whatever else is on your mind.

Good luck with your feelings and don't take things too seriously. Oh and following me around is a bit weird but you do you.
 
Grizzlies fired their head coach. Apparently he had struggled beating teams over .500. It looks like they might be promoting Tuomas Iisalo as their interim HC, he was successful in Europe.

Grizzlies are a shit team. Their expectations are a lot higher than they should be. They were always going to be a first round exit in the playoffs team not sure why they're canning their coach now.

Maybe they could get Hamas since a lot of cans in here think he's a good coach.
