well at least one team came back from a big deficit tonight. Tatum was cooking tonight. Big road win for clover. Time to see if the Lake Show extends their losing streak to 5.

You don't like Tatum, you don't like basketball.
Ainge looks really good swapping the first overall pick, moving down to get him.
I expected the Thunder to start slow and play better when Andre Robertson gets back.
However, they are a bubble playoff team with their hands tied cap wise.

Mavs looking good versus the Spurs. Will check on the Lakers in a bit.

Doncic played really well, but too much Derozan when it mattered. Lakers lose a tough one to Minnesota without Wiggins.

You're more obsessed with Lebron than ESPN...sheesh.

At least Roughneck has taken a slight step back after realizing Lebron has owned his Celtics, but you...my GOD. Did Lebron hurt you worse than he did Roughneck?

Celtics will humiliate Lebron this year, but because he is weak and fled, only twice.

Fozzie need to get Harden back before we draw strong conclusions, but. 1-5 is 1-5. And they got beat down at home tonight. They don't get to play LA every night so they are going to have to find a way to beat teams with a pulse.

How did Lebron flee from the Celtics when they did absolutely NOTHING to stop him for the past 8 years...IN A ROW.

Oh, so Houston gets a passed with a injured Harden, but Lebron can't get a pass with a completely new team that is still learning each other? LOL.

You guys are so hurt

Harden didn't pick to get injured while Lebron did pick his new team/teammates, right?

Lebron is on a completely new team and chemistry must be made. You know, same way how Rhule has to learn former players and get them to learn his system? Chemistry is huge. Team wasn't gonna become a powerhouse overnight

Sucks that you're still living off that one moment LOL. Since then, Lebron has made your entire organization go into rebuild and through tough times...

When you're the one creating the new team, he should be able to beat the Rockets.

What's next, losing to my Mavs?

What team did he create? lol. So joining a team for 4years is "creating" them now. They only signed 3 guys after Bron lol. McGee (who they needed for Rim Protection), Lance (A guy that can bring tons of energy, in which they needed), Rondo(High IQ guy)

They may very well lose to the Mavs, but the season is 82 games long and they have plenty of room for growth. I actually think they're going to be dangerous once they get a steady rotation and gain chemistry.

"Lebron is on a completely new team and chemistry must be made."

AKA his head coach must be stripped of all agency (or fired), and his teammates must accept being relegated to spot-up shooters regardless of skill set. Lebron is a great player, but he is a bit of a black hole that, until now, has made a living feasting on a hapless Eastern Conference. Celtics get good, he beats feet. Coincidence? Idk.

In before the fighting Luka's send Lebron's LA experiment to 2-6.

If YOU actually watched the games this year, Lebron has definitely played more off ball and has allowed others to do their own thing.

This is nothing new tho, just another hater coming out of nowhere and making dumb statements

Lebron MADE the East weak. Lets stop the whole "hapless" talk. There were many good teams that just could not get by him. The argument is a lose-lose for him tho. If he beats them, he's in a "cakewalk conference", if he loses "he's not good". Lol just stop.

The fact that you think Lebron ran from the Celtics is LAUGHABLE. Just stop lmao, please. Bron owned your celtics so just take it

I think this thread is quite funny, if this were last years thread, Id give it even more insight...but we all know what happened. Lebron came out on top of those damn Celtics!

HOW BOUT THAT DAMN LEBRON! Lmao.

Let me respond point by point as to not sully my original post in the minds of our fellow fans of the game:

Lebron has played more off-ball and he's 2-5 (about to be 2-6 once Luka finishes what his euro forefather Dirk started). That's not a role he has proven he can handle. His usage rate is highest on the Lakers by a mile and that will only increase as the losses pile up and he stops trusting his teammates.

You think Lebron would have made 8 straight finals in the West? His 3-5 record in the Finals suggests not. A bad Eastern Conference inflated his reputation (Again, great player. Not the GOAT). The Cavs were like the 7th best team in the playoffs last year. Poor Kevin Love played with Lebron so long he doesn't know how to do anything but stand in the corner anymore.

'My Celtics' took the Cavs to 7 with 2 starters out. The Celtics were one Matthew Mayer look-a-like from winning in 5.

Lebron lost the super-team arms race he helped start so now he's fled to LA to dunk on Yosemite Sam in Space Jam 2 and be on Shark Tank.

#1. ITS A NEW TEAM! They are all learning how to play with each other. It isn't ****ing GS where you can just throw a team out there and expect them to run over everyone

Every game this year, they've literally been in it to the end. Portland, Houston, Timberwolves, and the Spurs twice.
All teams that have great chemistry together, with the spirs having a great coach.

2. Who said he'd have 8 straight in the West? You're starting an entire NEW argument that we will never know. All I KNOW is that, he OWNED the East and made many organizations go through rebuilds, if you don't agree, then you obviously didnt watch basketball. As i said before, the East was NOT weak, he just made teams fear him and he pulled out tough wins when it mattered as well. He's just a great player (GOAT) and you can't deny it. He led that Cleveland team to the Finals, and they probably won't even win over 20 this year!
Kevin Love had MANY opportunities to play in the post, some games he did well, most he was weak and overpowered. They had multiple games trying to get him involved in the post. That didn't work, so what was next? have your superstar create a double/triple team and get open in the corner, wasnt Lebrons fault that those guys couldn't take advantage of OPEN shots.

Your Celtics also LOST. As i said before, it's a lose-lose for Lebron lol. If he beats them, its the old "we had 2 starters out" and if he loses, its the "we beat you without our two stars". So tell me this, what was Lebron supposed to do lol? I mean, he still dominated yall regardless. What is that Cavs team looking like this year? What will they be looking like half season? Thats the Lebron affect, he led that team and for people like you to always belittle his greatness, its just funny to me. YOUR CELTICS couldn't handle him for 8 straight years, he put yall in rebuild mode, and when you thought you had him, HE BEAT you once again.

Lebron is fine, he knows what he has in LA, in a year or two, he's going to be starring in Space Jam 2 and dunking on the little Celtic monstars in the movie, while also going to the Finals.

Accept defeat and stop trying to put him down lol.

Ehh if Mavs had a TO it would've been a good play, Lebron was definitely going to game winner it, he blew right passed him with an open lane. He made Bron go to the FT line (his weakness). Mavs just didn't have any TO's tho

I don't know about this Keebler guy but I just watched the condensed highlights and it appears the Lakers built a huge lead, Doncic and Smith had really bad games and the Lake Show only won by 1?

And they were at full strength right? Good thing LeBron bailed them out with a clutch 1-2 from the free throw line with 2 seconds left. Matthews is not a very smart player. I appreciate his competitiveness but Mavs need an upgrade there.

Mavs replace Wes next offseason with a max money player who most likely will not be coming off Achilles issues. Doomed signing from the start. He's too slow to cover the best.

Lakers are cast of misfits.

I'm down on Dennis Smith. His basketball IQ is so suspect. I was not a fan of the pick last year. I think Doncic was a great pick and will prove to be one of the 5 best in Mavs history.

Smith is erratic. He plays hard enough. But big warning sign to me that his college team didn't make the NCAAs. I said the same about Markell Fultz from Washington.

Some of these NBA teams place way too much emphasis on freak athleticism and not enough on winning. Doncic was a winner.

Spurs haven't missed playoffs for 16 years now. Surprised they would put in the Mavs and not them
