He's active again this summer?

 

[pmatic]

Been trending this way for the last two weeks.

 

[RustyShackleford]

How Crypto gonna be sounding when my Lakers are fighting for a play-in spot in March, and the fans have fully tuned on Redick...



As a high school kid, that is the moment I knew I wanted to go to UMD

Went Home Depot. Seen an old head rocking these with blue jeans and a tucked in collar shirt

These are actually kinda . All the old heads love them, but I see them getting love soon from everybody. Think they going to trend

People will be rocking them by summer. Same way with NB, UA, ASICS, Saloman etc.

Too hard:

Salomon - Yellow & Green XT-4 OG Sneakers

Low-top mesh sneakers in tones of green and yellow. Bonded trim in reflective silver tone and logos printed throughout.

No chance he falls that far

That'd be the proverbial definition of a steal

All y'all ************* in here got jokes about my D.Books, but letting this man run wild in here

When I turn 55…

Hogan shoes>>>>

 

[osh kosh bosh]

I feel like the the JJ hire will end in tears.

 

[wavycrocket]

All y'all mother****ers in here got jokes about my D.Books, but letting this man run wild in here

I like the D Books too. Them grey joints clean

It’s ok! I’m right

No chance he falls that far

That'd be the proverbial definition of a steal

A steal in this draft? Or a steal overall? Because this is right where he might’ve been picked in a regular draft. Probably lower tbh lol

 

[Cashflow]

 

[rbk93]

Maybe for Bronny? The Redick hire?

 

[QU!K]

They just hired a yes man for Lebron.

His demands for retiring a Laker were probably hire JJ and draft my son

 

[finessence]

Welp, we know the Lakers will be bottom 3rd in defense

 

[osh kosh bosh]

I've read and listened to a bunch of analysis on the finals. im zeroing in on a pick.

I really would like to see boston lose, and I despite him being a giant ******* Luka is one of my favorite players to watch.

I think the 2022 Mavs vs GSW is the frame to view this series through.

GSW spacing and ball movement, they are able to pick on Luka on defense and tire him out.

and GSW could go to a switching defense and take away Luka's passing and force him to be a volume scorer. leaving him gassed down the stretch of games.


the problem for is boston;
-they don't pass it as well, aren't as a smart
-are not mentally tough as that GSW team.
- and they don't have a top end singular offensive game breaker like Curry.

on the plus side, Boston should be able to take Kyrie out of the series, they got tons of good guard defenders, Jrue and no one to pick on. I expect Kyrie to be hit and miss this series.


So imo this Dallas case comes down to Luka and the Dallas defense

Is the defense good enough to expose Boston's lack of passing and offensive execution down the stretch?

and can Luka carry the Dallas offense and cut their throats in crunch time?


I hope it happens, but im guessing it doesn't.

Ill say Boston in 7,
but it's close to a coin flip for me.


Go Mavs.

You make me proud to be an AMERICAN. Excellent breakdown from our brotha that hails from the northern most US state of Canada. LFG

I think it’s hilarious that Rob Pelinka gets to hire 3 coaches in 6 years.

I like the JJ hire btw, just think the GM has more impact than any of our coaches have had or will have.

 

[elpablo21]

Love your avy aepps20 VERY HANDSOME

 

[sohi 23]

It pains to me say this but I think the public is overrating the mavs and underrating the Celtics. If i was betting I’d put my bread on Boston.

With that said go Luka & Kyrie

[wavycrocket]

Reading this now….the nets didn’t play a game on January 26th, 2024.

Edit, it could be any number of games on that night

Obv Johntay Porter now looking at it

 

[art vandelay]

The Lakers courtship for JJ Reddick reminds me of the Nets courtship of Steve Nash…..
