The 2020-21 NBA Thread: Raptors in 7

Yeah they were awful but the Raps offense was great, and they showed up in the fourth.

Lakers Dec. schedule is absolutely brutal. I think they got the Warriors twice, Rockets, Cavs, Blazers, Wolves, damn son. This may turn ugly fast if it hasn’t already.

If Boston beats Warriors this week, they’re the real deal. Nothing else to convince people with.

Dennis Smith has already come a long way since first week. Guy almost dropped 30 tonight. Definitely climbing that rookie board.

Our schedule has been difficult enough already currently the team is ranked 7th in SOS, if the Clippers didn’t fall off a cliff we would be number one.

oh man, the Balls are officially in debt to the president.

As if the Ball family weren’t heelish enough.

Lavar would be a good hype man for the president.

Liangelo and the 2 other guys are suspended indefinitely.

It’s funny that Liangelo is the only guy we know the name of, the other 2 a way higher prospects than he is. His father may will his ass into the league even though the talent isn’t there.

this whole situation is a ridiculous.

French Prince slowly taking shots. Last few games he’s been a liability with teams cheating off of him. What’s weird is he was a decent shooter in France.

His defense is still on point though so it’s really hard for the Knicks to take him out in close games in the stretch.

Last 2 games porzingod has been really inefficient. Can’t pinpoint anything defenses are doing to bother him, he’s just not catching and shooting as much as he was earlier in the season.

Hardaway has zero conscience and I shudder every time he’s in the game and porzingod is out. He gets this deer in the headlight blank stare and tries to shoot as soon as he crosses mid court. Lee is far more efficient but he’s pretty much tapped offensively the way the Knicks are built, they need one more scorer. I get it;shooters shoot but hardaway nearly shot the Knicks out of this one with a terrible 3. Hopefully the French Prince gains some more confidence and shoots the ball more. There is nothing mechanically wrong with his shot like Ball so I sure he can get it going soon enough…

P.S. keep Noah on the damn pine plz

I know the Kings are awful but losing by 46 points to the Hawks awful?

Damn lillard out here breaking coaches’ ankles

i love petty nba twitter.

Damn kuzma almost terminated the process

lonzo ball -18 in a game where the lakers go into the 4th leading by 1. no play in the 4th.

if i’m a lakers fan, i’m worried this lonzo guy is actually hurting kuzma’s growth.

difference of kuzma’s stats when ball is on the bench vs when ball is playing alongside kuzma (on/off since joining the starting lineup) is the difference between an all star vs a role player. clarkson unlocks kuzma’s potential so well, and makes kuzma actually look ready for the nba… while ball is so discouraged, he’s looking like he doesn’t even want to be on the floor.

this ball experiment can’t keep going on right? it’s wild how much of a negative effect ball has on the lakers production. being a rookie can’t be an excuse considering simmons and kuzma playing in the same game.

Embiid is a fucking monster. Hope he stays healthy and that Fultz comes back at full strength as well.

Someone is probably taking his talents to Philly

Lonzo is shot mentally because of his shot. When he is hitting he goes back to being Lonzo Ball the UCLA basketball gawd. I would honestly just take him out and have him spend time getting his shot down. Once he can shoot you will see the Lakers go on a rampage but until then he is gonna doubt everything. Its like when Yugi Mindcrushed his ass like he did Seto Kaiba. You can tell ball can play its just without the jumper going he is slowly losing his ability to do anything else.
