    I'd say it's a stretch to call CJ and Donovan Mitchell PG's. They play pretty much like SG's

    I see that Haliburton is listed as 6'5 so he's definitely the size of a SG. I haven't seen enough of him to know how good, or bad he is on defense

    Lakers go 0-6 in preseason. Time to blow it up and trade LeBron and AD.

    Did you guys know Kings are going for a record 16 straight seasons without playoffs? I’m so glad nothing close to that has ever happened here. Misery. Kids grow up, graduate high school and never see their favorite team in the playoffs. When ever you feel bad about the Blazers, think of the Kings.

    I look upward and expect my favorite team to excel. So other teams dwindling in obscurity doesn't make me feel better. I look at the Spurs and wonder why we can't have what they just had... the best dynasty a small market can hope for.

    Maybe he drove along the edge, in a big circle. Lucky he didn't fall off!

    The Bucks have won 1 pre season game as have a bunch of other teams. Lakers, Blazers & Bullets (still bullets to me) yet to win in pre-season.
    Why is it we only play 4 games and Lakers play 6?

    and they've been playing all their starters decent minutes the last few games.
    Ive watched a number of pre season games and Ive seem a lot of sloppy ball with not much defense being played.
    Chauncey said earlier that we will shoot fewer three's this year...

    Oh I'm sorry, we aren't going on the road for preseason. BUT, we are back to our normal travel with the team starting in regular season. I had cameras in the back hallways for arrival shots last game in PHX and noticed the facemask situation.
    Masks on the plane and much more monitoring looks like the only things different than before. Very happy that the whole team and staff are vaccinated though.

    NBA protocol for you if you get sick on the road though is kinda crazy. If I test positive for COVID at anytime during the season on the road, the home team is responsible for me. So in Miami, the HEAT will be responsible for me staying in my hotel quarantined, transportation and testing. THEN after two weeks and a few negative tests, I can fly home. This could get CRAZY!

    All that, and these fools on here will still bitch about camera angles.

    You WANT to play 6? The question should be why do the Lakers HAVE to play 6 and we don't? Less preseason games is a good thing FAMS.

    Speaking of camera angles.
    Are you guys keeping the referee butt level cam?
    I know it’s a fan favorite!
