2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

[PedroKsBambino]

Lebron cannot D Zion

 

[Cellar-Door]

I would bring in BI for Jones but McCollum cant be put back into the game

BI would immediately jack up 3 straight 20 footers without Zion getting a touch and it would be an 8 point game

 

[Ed Hillel]

Double and triple team was coming on the next dribble.

Not the first possession he kicked it. Lane was clear.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Ugh no Zion no chance

 

[Auger34]

And he’s hurt. Goddamnit

 

[Ed Hillel]

Lol of course

 

[SteveF]

LeBron is getting the Pelicans into rotation at will with these Alvarado switches. The other Lakers players just can't maintain or extend the advantage.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Weak af

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Challenge—that was either a no call or offense

 

[Auger34]

Green can not be serious. That lineup only works because of Zion! Fucking putting in McCollum for him?!

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

That just sucks

 

[slamminsammya]

zio. is injured

 

[Ed Hillel]

And 1 on that dunk

 

[slamminsammya]

lol. who said he’d make the dagger?

 

[Ed Hillel]

NO falling apart

 

[ifmanis5]

Maybe get a stop?

 

[radsoxfan]

I'd use a TO now if there any chance Zion can come back, need him now.

What are they doing? Waiting on XRays?

 

[Helmet Head]

Why is Ingram not playing?

 

[PedroKsBambino]

McCollum in for D and Alvarado sits? What?

 

[slamminsammya]

Why is Ingram not playing?

sucks

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Why is Ingram not playing?

he’s been awful tonight

 

[dhellers]

F'ing reaves making a diffrence. I am not alone in sport hating that twirp:?

 

[Cellar-Door]

Why is Ingram not playing?

He was horrifically bad, and got benched.

 

[ifmanis5]

I hate LA so much.

 

[ElUno20]

Alvarado is such a garbage player. They get a key turnover and speeds down court and turns down a layup for a...turnover.

Then flops dead on the floor and lakers get an easy 5 v 4.

 

[SteveF]

What might have been had Zion not got hurt. They did such a better job attacking on offense in the second half.

And now you have to imagine he won't be available for the 9/10 game.

 

[Auger34]

zio. is injured

Yes I know.

 

[Helmet Head]

he’s been awful tonight

sucks

Thanks. Was not able to watch until the last 15 minutes.

 

[slamminsammya]

i know i should dislike the lakers always but i like most of their players :/

 

[radsoxfan]

If we don't see Zion again, my guess is he re-broke his 5th metatarsal.

Unless I missed a replay, he didn't seem to twist his ankle, just landed on it.

He also seemed to know something was wrong right away, maybe felt it crack.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Groin for Zion?

 

[dhellers]

Alvarado is such a garbage player. They get a key turnover and speeds down court and turns down a layup for a...turnover.

Then flops dead on the floor and lakers get an easy 5 v 4.

Not fair. He was almost as important as Zion in the comeback.

 

[TheRooster]

Alvarado is such a garbage player. They get a key turnover and speeds down court and turns down a layup for a...turnover.

He was really good during the comeback

 

[Ed Hillel]

Nice of them to say they had an update to come back and say they didn’t have an update.

 

[SteveF]

He also seemed to know something was wrong right away, maybe felt it crack.

Oof. Let's hope not.

 

[8slim]

Zion walked back to the locker room. Maybe he should try to play on whatever ails him for 45 seconds?

 

[PedroKsBambino]

great job by AD there

 

[Deathofthebambino]

So if Golden State wins, that Zion injury is gonna put the Warriors and Lakers into the dance.

 

[ElUno20]

He was really good during the comeback

Most energy hustle guys are.

Crunch time you need to use your brain.

 

[slamminsammya]

i find it easy to forget how huge ad is

 

[128]

He played great otherwise, but that turnover by Alvarado in transition was a comeback killer.

 

[Ed Hillel]

LeBron is too old for this team to go anywhere.

 

[slamminsammya]

LeBron is too old for this team to go anywhere.

i wouldn’t mind him winning the first round

 

[radsoxfan]

Zion walked back to the locker room. Maybe he should try to play on whatever ails him for 45 seconds?

Not if he broke his foot. Or popped his Achilles.

I can't imagine he wouldn't play if he could.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Gotta run a play for Murphy here, right?

 

[Cellar-Door]

Denver probably going to sweep

 

[SteveF]

Wasn't a lot of LeBron/AD PnR in the 4th. They were playing Nance so maybe that's just a switch, and getting a little dude on Lebron should allows you to get the Pels in rotation so...

 

[128]

Not only do the Lakers shoot a ton of free throws, they make a ton of them.

 

[Helmet Head]

LeBron is too old for this team to go anywhere.

I agree. Can’t help but think they are going to get smoked by Denver. Although I think that is the worst possible opponent they could have hoped for.

 

[Auger34]

What in the fuck is reggie talking about. My god
