NBA Game Action: 2/12/2019

Him and Lebron won’t win anything together.

AD is dumb if he thinks he’s going to win big with 35 yr old Lebron in his 17th freaking year.

Not to mention magic is making dumb move after dumb move.

He needs to step away and let rob do his job.

I like magic the person but he’s terrible with this front office stuff.

 

my comment was made in the 1st quarter...he looked slow, and his shot was flat

 

If only Pacers can maintain the 3rd position. 2 games ahead with 25 games to go.
Philly vs Boston in round 1 will be a dream come true.

 

DLo was traded for the pick that landed Kuzma. Likely a fluke they went with Kuz at that spot due to having that pick, and not someone they would have drafted several spots ahead or below.

 

To have the crowd chanting Kobe’s better and missing a free throw tells you something.

 

Anthony Davis started on Tuesday, but hit just 1-of-9 shots for three points, six rebounds and three blocks in 24 minutes in a brutal 118-88 loss to the Magic.
Well, that's not a good look. Normally, when a star falters like this they simply had a 'bad' or 'off' night, but things are a little different with Davis and the Pelicans after his trade demands and the fact he's still there. Coach Alvin Gentry has already said that Davis will play on Thursday against the Thunder (the Pels will be fined $100K every time he gets a healthy scratch), but his words after the game weren't exactly encouraging. "We sucked," Davis said. "Seemed like nobody was interested in playing." So, he demanded a trade, didn't get it, and is now calling out teammates? Additionally, Gentry said after the game that "he's done" talking about AD.

 

And this is the biggest reason why lebron's comments ring hollow on loyalty, business, and players demands while under contract(and any other player who says similar things). So lebron, what category do coaches fall into? Are they the organization or more the player side? 99 percent of coaches make waaaaaayyyyy less than the NBA star. Yet you and those you have and are manipulating screw coach after coach. He and AD are such punks.

Dont know why, but that gentry comment struck that thought in me lol

 

Nick Wright just fired Luke Walton. If Nick Wright says so then it must come true

 

I wouldn't be surprised to see Walton gone by the end of the All-Star Break. The Lakers have to do something to shake things up. The Davis trade didn't happen. And no pickup in the buyout market is gonna spark the team all that much. A coaching change may be their only option. I know people in the media(including Nick Wright) still assume the Lakers are gonna make the playoffs, but I've had my doubts for a while now and that was BEFORE they lost to the Hawks.

There are too many games left on LA's schedule that look like almost certain losses. Right now, I think the absolute best case scenario for the Lakers for the remainder of the season is 10 more losses which would leave them at 43-39. The Kings, who are in 8th place, are currently 4 games over .500 and it's not unthinkable that they play .500 ball the rest of the way(although the Lakers do currently hold the tiebreaker).

 

I’m almost positive the kuz pick was from the Rockets when the gave up that 1st round pick to get off brewer for Lou Williams.

 

Nah that turned into Josh Hart, Kuzma came from the BOS pick swapped to BRK traded to LAL for Mosgov and Russell.

 

don't know where to post this, but reminds me of that tip @DreamShook keeps promoting.

 

I thought the poll meant if you listen to Rachel, do you do it at 2x+.
