    So just too be clear @Labinot41:

    first half "no impact" + 2nd half "great" = "invisible"?

    I'm just tryna get my math right.

    Everyone laughed at his comments about Buddy Hield, but he’s turned into a good player in Sacramento. Everyone laughed at his comments about Stauskas...

    Oh my god, what if Vivek was right?

    It's funny when it's obvious some people can only recognize good defense if there is a big block or steal. Sometimes being "invisible" on defense means you are playing great.

    Just to give you a look into what it was like following this game while at work:

    I checked my phone about every 15 minutes. I saw we were up 11... then we got to half. I get some more work done, and then I see it's the end of the third, and we're only up 2?

    [​IMG]

    Now I'm checking my phone every two minutes while doing my work.

    Cut to me going into the bathroom to check the final score. No lie, this was my reaction:

    I can not WAIT to watch this replay and laugh at every fucking LA laker fan that went to the game tonight. I am so sad I missed the game but I am SO happy for the result.

    GET SAUCED ON, LA. YOU FUCKNOZZLED BUTTPLUGS.

    Literally LOLed at Chris Webber's comments about how Lonzo Ball has completely transformed his body over the summer by adding 15 pounds of muscle and how it's going to help improve his shooting.

    Lonzo's line tonight: 7 pts, 4 reb, 1 ast on 2/7 shooting (.286) and 1/4 (.250) 3-pointers

    Looked pretty much the same to me. I wonder how long before his dad starts bitching to the media about Lonzo's reduced role playing with LeBron (even though it's Rondo stealing his minutes).

    Lonzo got called for a foul tonight and I swore he turned to the ref and said.
    'Do you know who my dad is?'
    Maybe it was
    'I'm better than Steph Curry'.
    IDK my lip reading is off sometimes.

    I wonder how many pairs of poorly made, over priced sneakers Big Baller Brand is going to sell when the brand's one, and only, NBA player is averaging 7 ppg coming off the bench.

    Do you think Westbrook is better than Ball?

    I think we should all sit back and appreciate what Harkless gave us in game 1 as well. His knee still isn't 100%, but he was incredibly effective in his 20-ish minutes on offense and defense. We need to get him back full strength as soon as we can. In my opinion, he is the biggest X factor for our season.

    When Lillard said "Hey big guy that's great D" he was talking to Leonard after he put three lock downs on Ingram and then got called for a Ticky Tak touch foul on the fourth attempt. On that Play Leonard was in good position for an extended time then the refs bailed out Ingram.

    I hardly notice Ball playing last how many minutes did even get. But all I know when the game came to crunch time the 3 players in that draft that was in there Blazers had Collins and the Lakers had Kuzma and Hart.
