Gordon Hayward DA GAWD

 

That was badass. They just had a ridiculously stupid foul giving LeBron 3 shots to tie it, I was like oh poo gotta watch OT now and he sank that baby.

I had as many assists as Kyrie Irving did tonight.

Wanted to pop in and talk about the 0-5 Lakers but all I see is Kobe level bitching.

The Lakers look bad this year, but I never expected them to be competitive. We won't win a championship until Kobe leaves.

It's actually a brilliant covert tanking plan: Keep Kobe around and give him free reign to jack up all the shots he wants to chase Kareem's record and simultaneously shoot the Lakers out of ball games.

 

As long as Kobe is around talking about being competitive and scoring points, no one will ever accuse them of not trying to win. What makes the Lakers fascinating this season is watching this freelancing Kobe.

 

Last time the Lakers went into a talent lull, Kobe demanded a trade. Now all of a sudden he wants to remain with the organization?

 

It's brilliant.

Kobe can chase records all he wants but he'll never be able to beat Kareem's amazing acting range

Kareem is a Kung Fu Master!

Lakers are doing what they must.

Be the 76ers.

If they aren't a bottom 5 team this year their protected #1 pick goes to Phoenix.

Long term every loss is good.

They paid Kobe so fans have something to watch at Staples, nothing else.

 

The course was set when Stern did what he did.

Now with their #1 Randall this year back next year and a high #1 next year then Kobe coming off the books they'll be fine again.

Until then it is what it is.

The Lakers are light entertainment for SoCal until the plan comes to fruition.

All haters rejoice!

Yeah second sickest...

Vancouver Grizzlies first jerseys were the best. Choked the day they moved. Were my team until they left for Memphis.

But I will agree Charlotte did have some nice retro's as well
