The 2020-21 NBA Thread: Raptors in 7

Except he can send his son right back to China, it wasn’t a bait it was idiotic.

No he can’t, why the fuck would he even do that lol

Yeah he can, corrupt shit happens all the time.

I mean he could do it, but that would be Political and Business suicide.

Shipping a 19 yr old off to do hard time in a foreign country, to get back at the kid’s Dad for not kissing enough ass.

He’d be giving Robert Muller ammunition.

We could say that about the 50 other things he’s done or said since he took office. Something like that would be a blip.

I think it would be more than a blip. Does it rise to the level of starting a Nuclear war? Probably not.

But a lot of heads would turn if he did something like this. It would go above and beyond his usual pettiness.

If I was Trump I’d have saved the other two boys and leave LiAngelo behind. Then have Lavar fly to China and get the cameras rolling

I still think he will be. I don’t think he’s untouchable anymore because of Kuzma’s excellent play, but he’s right around where I expected him to be stats wise. I thought 20 PPG this season was a little bit reaching, however, I know that was Magic’s way of motivating him to a degree.

Lonzo looks so much better when he is pushing the ball. He needs to say fuck it and get on some Westbrook shit. When he gets rebounds and pushes the ball he looks amazing. Hell when the Lakeea are hitting he easily goes from 6 assist to like 11. Tonight he was driving to the basket and making plays. It is simply in his head right now. He is his biggest weaknews. When he overcomes that shit hei s gonna be the NBA all time leader for most Triple Doubles. Lonzo is gonna average 2 or more seasons of that shit. It’s coming.

Mental weakness is extremely difficult to overcome in any sport. Think about how many studs in different sports who encountered some kind of massive chokejob or cracked under immense pressure that were never the same after falling short. The fact that Lonzo is showing these cracks so early means that it’s going to get worse before it gets better, if it gets better at all.

Anyone is gonna show cracks in the NBA when they shot isn’t falling and aren’t benefiting there team. It doesn’t last long in his case since he does tend to let it go and move on. He has had 2 triple doubles in the last 5 games. Hell most rookies don’t even get 1. Lets just see how the season pans out. I personally think magic and company are loading him on minutes to get him used to the NBA. I think next season is when they expect him to do damage. Hell they have been saying they just wanna see improvement which to me seems like they just want those Free Agents next year. Lonzo with some scorers like PG or Cousins with Ingram Kuzma Clarkson and Randle is gonna be a strong team. They will also make Lonzo look better to.

yeah, trump just got worked. it’s no secret trump has the egg-shelled ego of a 5 year old. someone takes swing at trump and he impulsively swings back without thinking. this was calculated move on lavar’s part and he effortlessly got what he wanted. which is more publicity for BBB and supposedly an appearance on CNN tonight. don’t be surprised if he talks mad shyt to keep this going.

At this point the only people who haven’t figured out Lavar Balls game are the haters of him or just the woefully ignorant. Lavar has basically gotten exposure simply for being a natural born troll. Nike and other major companies paying millions. All Lavar had to do is open his mouth and then EVERYONE wanted him because he brings eyes.

14 games in and Aaron Gordon is still shooting 46% from 3p range. Him, Oladipo and Drummond are easily the top 3 most improved. Drummond best center in the East, no question now.

Clint Capela should be among them as well imo

The correct answer is porzingod

Couldn’t let this gem go unnoticed.

I told everyone last year Russ had help in Olidipo and people laughed. Now they see him tearing it up in Indy and people are like what??? Also didn’t know Olidipo wad an RnB singer and he is legit good. Dude will always have a backup plan in singing if he never made it in the league

Embid gave him 30 - easily. People keep saying, this or that dude is better than Embid and then they get worked. Nobody else saw what he just did in LA?

The only Centers I’d put above him right now are Boogie, AD and Porzingis (if he plays C). Here’s the thing though - he has the potential to be better than all of them.

Porzingis prolly won’t play center till very late in his career if ever. He’s way to good of a jump shooter for that.

+he has zero interest in playing it. He’s told the Knicks he won’t do it.

I’m putting Embid over Drummond easy though.
