    I feel incredibly dirty writing this, but I hope the Lakers beat the Warriors tonight. The Warriors have overtaken LA as my most hated team currently.

    That is my top 3 as well, and in the same order. It is fun to make fun of Lonzo, but the Lakers don't really have any hateable players right now. They all seem like pretty decent dudes.

    KCP is gonna get a nice contract this summer, I think he has proven he is an upper level 3&D player.

    It's true, Ingram, Randle, Clarkson, KCP, Kuzma, and Nance Jr are all fun to watch.

    I can't quite tell if Kuzma has a little asshole tendancies he hasn't let out yet or not. Love his game but my asshole meter says maybe he might be.

    The Lakers play better on offense without Lonzo. It pretty much turns into ISO plays with Lonzo in the corner.

    Its really fun to make fun of Lonzo. I keep telling a friend of mine Lonzo is essentially Rubio without a 3 but can finish at the rim, which I dont' think is actually that far off, and it basically triggers him bad. It has been quiet fun.

    It was around the same time they put in a new gym floor and they fucked it up and it had dead spots all over the place. Ask some old guys if you know anyone who's been there for years.

    He is Rubio without any kind of shot. I don't think his shot is going to improve that much either due to his weird form, and I honestly don't think his passing is nearly amazing enough to compensate for the lack of scoring.

    Yeah I know he was 3-7 from three last night but he will have the odd decent night once in a while. Marcus Smart shot 6 three pointers two days ago, he is still a terrible shooter.

    Either you need to adjust the color on your TV or you left a word off the end of your sentence.

    On my TV, all of those guys wear piss and purple. That color combination prompts a visceral hatred from deep within me. Always has, always will.

    Yeah, I think its fun to watch those guys, too. Fun to watch them lose!

    If you wanna follow an old blazer, follow cliff Alexander.

    I wouldn’t mind bringing him up. Assuming we get rid of some dead weight.

    A guy I was in the Marines with, was like 6’2” 260 15% bodyfat. Played basketball like a globetrotter, had horrible asthma though.

    He’s the only person I’ve ever seen that jiu jitsu doesn’t really work on.

    What are the chances Donovan gets fired and Fizdale becomes coach of the Thunder?

    Ben Simmons with mad stats line last night. 31 points, 18 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks, 2 steals.

    Embiid had 25 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks and a steal.

    They are crazy out there in Philadelphia.

    Hack-a-Simmons happened.
    15-29 from the line, with 24 free throws coming in the 4th quarter.
    Lost me a category in fantasy by himself. And I have Drummond on my team.
    Pretty good line, but for whatever reason Washington deemed it was necessary to put him on the line.
