The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

Kobe's guest appearance on Hang Time was underrated.

Young Rick from Boyz n the Hood sighting too

Lakers played the grizz really well this season. In my hot take opinion, this is an even matchup and could be very competitive. Also, UNC shae about to roll up to a couple gms. Evil Danny green is good for a couple stinkers.

Picking the Lakers isn’t an outlandish take at all. But, in Perk’s case, I never thought for a second he might go the other way.

Not sure there's much to take away from the Lakers-Grizzlies this season because the key players missed games and the big trade.

Did they play at all after the trade deadline?

They played twice after the deadline; Both games without Bron and D'Lo, one game without Ja. Reaves was still coming off the bench and Clarke was still playing in one.

Vando has played Ja well going back to last playoffs. Tillman and JJJ haven't been able to slow down AD

Grizz front court is depleted, JJJ still a hack, Lakers hitting their stride.

Not hard to see why someone would pick the Lakers. I think it's more extreme picking the Warriors over the Kings.

 

[lawdog1]

Hmmmm. Wonder if Jim Bunyan really has something going on or is just pouting because the team isn’t better.

The optics of resting players for draft position sucks but it's completely legal & within the rules.

Only issue I have is Silver & the league continuing to say they take issues like this seriously then the punishment is never anything of significance. If you want to really curb tanking or tampering, you have to come down harder.

To add to your point, for a first offender, meh, I get it. Slap the wrist, etc but.....

The same owner/franchise KEEPS doing it (and talking about it), and all they did was tack on an extra 150K?

Imagine how the Raptors feel right now, the Bulls might not have even been in the play-in to eliminate them.

[Vincent Van Goat]

What’s his contract status?

 

[lovehateself]

What’s his contract status?

This is the dumb part because he was a free agent the entire time so why was he credited with games served?

Good for the lakers though next year. Hell only miss 10 games. Plenty of time to gel with ad and Lebron
