ClutchFans Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets 4/2/2023

One can only hope.....but it's been like that for 3 seasons.

Same mantra for the Texans, but at least finally the owner is doing something....all because his wallet is being hit now with no fans in seats.

 

Well, we can **** around and smile like dumbass Silas when his ass gets canned in the summer.

 

I dont know about you, but Im not focused or interested in the NBA because the Rockets are ass. The Playoffs race is pretty wacky though; everyone is clumped together. New teams at the top of each conference and everyone seems to be similar in strength. That has to be exciting, right? I feel like the playoffs are about to be crazy. I wonder if other people think it's stale though.

 

I’m honestly not excited at all. Too much player movement to the point the teams feel like a farce. Oh great, KD on a new team. Oh great, Kyrie on a new team. Westbrook on a new team. there’s no identity anymore. KD to the Warriors, in hindsight, was the beginning of the end in my opinion. Just feels like a massive drought the NBA will need to claw out of.

Another thing is the Nike jerseys. Way too many color-ways, why the hell are teams wearing other teams colors? And the jerseys look thin like toilet paper. I miss the stitched Adidas jerseys that had texture to them. Just cheapens the viewing experience that much more.

Just my opinion though. I don’t intend to talk down to those who enjoy the current product, but I’m more focused on my damn dynasty football team more than I am the real-life NBA. Scoring is way too high, no defense allowed. God I feel like an old head but it’s just how it feels now lol

edit - also, the play in tournament feels super cheap. All these things add up to the NBA feeling like a gimmick in my heart at this current point in time

 

Word.

 

The Rockets players have quit on the defensive end, they aren't caring, they have checked out.

DD

 

think they realized they might miss the playoffs this year

 

I admit I am a sucker for drama and the WWE I mean Keeping Up with the Adam Silvers I mean NBA is full of it.

 

I’ve never been more ready for a season to come to an end.

 

We sit the one player who plays the right way
(Tate)

And give guaranteed minutes only to green and kpj .

 

Bari's minutes are pretty guaranteed for a rookie at 30-33 mpg.

 

The trades were pretty damn good, too.

 

Sitting Tate is not a bad thing. He is 27 and this is a lost season, and we have KJ Martin and Tari Eason who both need minutes to develop. It would be incredibly stupid to waste minutes on an older player with zero upside who may not even be here next season.

 

Spam memes in the Only Fans threads, the Jalens, Baris etc threads.

 

LOL

 

LOL

 

guess Kenny shown up to root for Lakers, though he weren't wearing LAL jersey...

Kept the dogs at home to produce more shet.... Mic dropped.
