Turnovers cost us. Grizzlies are a good team. It was a good game, would be a hell of a series in the postseason
It was funny watching it in real time and Jae and CP3 were chuckling and giving Booker a lot of crap about it in the post-match presser. Hey, in the context of the game though it worked for Booker, it must be said.What the feck was that Booker vs Raptor mascot
I see he's shooting lights out again. That 3 ball is especially effective.Tight. Give it to Russ.
He is in the zone. 2 of 14.I see he's shooting lights out again. That 3 ball is especially effective.
Lakers?ESPN says 6 legit contenders. My list would be 4. Warriors, Suns, Bucks and Nets.
I actually laughed out loud with just over a minute to go and the commentator said "....and Russ is wide open from three." Clang.Parody. How the feck can you be so bad?

Nah can't see it this year. We'd be relying on Malik monk to be Kylie Irving and Westbrook to not take threes or turn the ball over or be generally shit. Not gonna happen.Lakers?
Sorry, joking a bit. Monk is really good.Nah can't see it this year. We'd be relying on Malik monk to be Kylie Irving and Westbrook to not take threes or turn the ball over or be generally shit. Not gonna happen.
Such a shame he joined us. I love watching him play for other teams.Sorry, joking a bit. Monk is really good.
Personally, I would draw the play for Russ where he sits. Chair and everything.
I really had also different opinion. But, he is absolutely terrible.Such a shame he joined us. I love watching him play for other teams.
Yeah, that would be my list too. If Philly could trade Simmons for something then I'd maybe add them. That's unlikely to happen though.ESPN says 6 legit contenders. My list would be 4. Warriors, Suns, Bucks and Nets.
Russ has always been one of my favorite players to watch. Sometimes he was good, sometimes he was not so good but he was always must watch TV. Unfortunately for the Lakers he is still must watch TV but nowadays it's almost like watching a car crash in slow motion.Such a shame he joined us. I love watching him play for other teams.
I'm not sure the Grizzlies can win it but they are definitely a dark horse. I certainly wouldn't want to play them in a 7 game series. I just hope they're on the other side of the bracket from the Dubs.Yeah, that would be my list too. If Philly could trade Simmons for something then I'd maybe add them.

I think them winning the finals last year was the first clue to be honest but to each their ownSee the Bucks are actually a good team. Bay Area fans now are realizing that. Warriors (and most teams unless you have multiple competent centers) have no answer for Giannis.
I know a lot of Bay Area fans and most of them are clueless. I said this instead of GSW fans because I assume that the fans posting here like @charlton66 aren't residing in the area per se.I think them winning the finals last year was the first clue to be honest but to each their own
Feel like they are going to get smoked by the nets this year, they need a big time wing defender. Having a Allen or Covington in the starting line up isn't the way to go.See the Bucks are actually a good team. Bay Area fans now are realizing that.

Last year I think they would have lost to the Nets at full strength but after the confidence of winning the title and Giannis continuing to improve, I don't see the Nets smoking them. The series would go 6 or 7 and could see it go either way. What made the Nets really scary for me last season were the multitude of good role players they had (Jeff Green in particular was very very good) + Griffin having a very good season. Apart from Patty Mills their role players are atrocious this season. Keep in mind this Bucks team still have Jrue Holiday and Brook Lopez to come back also.Feel like they are going to get smoked by the nets this year, they need a big time wing defender.

I hear all of that but i don't see anything the Bucks can do with Durant. They can only compete in that series if they defend amazingly well and playing the likes of Lopez is asking for some Harden trouble. If they play Giannis at the 5 then no one can even attempt to slow Durant down.Last year I think they would have lost to the Nets at full strength but after the confidence of winning the title and Giannis continuing to improve, I don't see the Nets smoking them.

I would play Bobby Portis more than Brook Lopez and keep Giannis at the 4. Ultimately the Nets will play a lot of PnR into Iso to get their favored matchups anyways so a lot of it will come down to outscoring them. Keep the big 3 under 90 points and the rest of the team to no more than 20 points and score more than 110 points. All of the top teams can achieve this strategy I feel.I hear all of that but i don't see anything the Bucks can do with Durant.

You guys are playing well today, hope nothing too serious with Lavine though, he's been having a good season.What a difference 24 hours makes.
