    If you aren't frightened a little you shouldn't run.
    If you only feel flattered and not frightened you definitely should not run.
    So you should run.

    Who else is going to advocate for your mothers block?
    With that spirit that you have about the subject.
    We need more real white guys, we got too much milquetoast.
    Lots of heads are matured and ready for harvest.
    Which will leave tons of seats open.
    You got my support.

    The NBA has been losing me for years, and strangely (since he was retired), with Kobe's passing my remaining interest in the NBA almost completely died with him. As a lifelong Laker fan I can't completely shut them off, but I don't at all relate to the team or the type of fan that they're marketing to. I agree with your take on BLM. At this point I have one eye on the scoreboard to see if the Lakers end up getting another banner for the rafters, but if it doesn't happen it won't affect me in any way and if does happen, my celebration will amount to less than a golf clap.

    It's just not pro sports out there.
    Looks worse than an ncaa game.
    High school level shit.
    Is this preseason or scrimmage or whatever or has the season actually started.
    I keep hearing the word scrimmage.

    I tried to watch a few games, but like baseball with all the strikeouts, I find the NBA unwatchable. One guy dribbling with 4 guys standing still in the corners waiting to shoot a 3. When they really want to play team ball, maybe someone sets a pick and only 3 guys are standing around waiting to shoot a 3.

    What I see works best is having the PG and the C stay back for defensive rebounds or to take the ball out after a make.
    Pushing the ball quickly to AD so he can work the mid post positioning vs the opponents slower center or a mismatch against a smaller player.
    Either the opponents PF or C will try to be in the low post offensively which leads to AD getting established position against a sole big at worst and no bigs at best.

    sounds like a regular nba game of the last few years to me
    i was enjoying the AD and Dwight thing and now its just too political for me
    Dodger game was great tonight but i'm biased of course
    haven't watched anything but see the Lakers are losing a lot
    Blazers should punk them in the first round i'm guessing
    been shooting a lot of shots on my home hoop and hit 12 straight FT's lol

    Blazers are a.beast of a team and they match up perfectly with us.
    We got javalae and Dwight and they got nurkic and Whiteside. Both are significantly better options at the bigs.
    And in the smalls they got quick 3 point shooters that can drive pass dribble and have unlimited range.
    We got kcp and ales Caruso and Dion waiters type of role players there.

    And their third man and fourth man in the big 4 is Melo and Nurkic.
    Lakers got Kuz and Dwight?

    The blazers just more talent than the Lakers when it comes to putting up a short playoff rotation.

    Does that mean they have one really good one on one player and a bunch of guys that are really good at standing around?

    There is no magic switch for a team that could never shoot consistently well.

    Missing their best defensive guard (Bradley) doesn't help, either.

    Makes you wonder if Carmelo taking over the ball in the third took CJ and Lillard out of their game.

    Lakers are still going to have problems any night when LeBron and AD aren't on their A games.

    At least they have two options.
    Almost every other team has one primary ballhog that determines if the team wins or loses.

    I was hoping they'd cancel the season.
