The refs made some odd calls in the last couple minutes, but Kelly O should have been just as mad with himself for a not great foul on kawhi to give LA the lead and then for holding the ball too long and not getting a shot off before time expired.
I listen to pretty much all of Simmons' podcasts
Not really sure what records really mean and if they are a universal barometer for how strong teams really are. If there are more teams with better records, that mean there are more teams with worse records. Yes, the Lakers with the same record would have finished 4th last year, but there are 9 teams in the league with fewer than 30 wins . . . last year there were 4. I would actually suggest the opposite . . . that the league is less deep this year, as almost a third of the league isn't all that competitive . . . driving win totals for the top two-thirds of the league up. Last season, there were 16 teams .500 or better . . . this year, there are 19. IMO, there were more competitive teams last season (even if some of them had fewer wins last year compared to this year).
They’re doing so well that Glen Taylor decided to not sell the team after all.
I don't really care all that much one way or the other, but here's a counterpoint to your counterpoint. Sure, the West has teams with inflated records this year, but . . . there are only 4 teams in the West with winning records against teams .500 or better (DEN, MIN, OKC, and NO) and 3 teams in the East (BOS, MIL, and IND). Last season, there were 3 teams in the West (DEN, MEM, and MIN) and 3 teams in the East (BOS, MIL, and PHI).
Well, Glen Taylor is still the owner of the team. So, there's that. Sorry Frosty, Timberwolves fans just can't have nice things.
Ugh. Could mean the play-in or not.
Holy **** this is real. I thought you were just jabbing frosty. My god, this dude sucks. Now that Sarver is gone, he is probably the worst owner in the league.
This one will get interesting. The Rockets have been playing well but just had a bunch of easy games (SAS x2, POR x2, WAS x2, UTA, CHI). Things get tougher the rest of the way (H: DAL, GS, MIA, ORL and A: UTA, MIN, DAL, UTA, POR, LAC). IMO, three easier games and 7 harder games.
Matchups will be huge in the West. As a Lakers fan, obviously I’d hate if they had to play Denver in a series early. The other team they can’t seem to do anything with is the Kings. I’d feel pretty good (not great) against any other potential matchup.
Maybe it'll help his shooting.
James Dolan is still alive.
That is fair, but it seems like he has least stepped back and let Rose do his thing while simply busying himself with petty lawsuits and the Sphere, so he is far less actively damaging. I agree he is a sleeping giant in this category though.
It is sad how cool the Sphere is knowing it came from Dolan.
I think it is HIS year
44 points on 44 shots is pretty sick.
Nah, we actually really need to see some games still. Like Clippers @ORL, vs DEN, @PHO, vs PHO, vs HOU, vs CLE, @SAC
Slow down.
Amen!
And just think if Amen we're actually playing in position he'd be putting up triple doubles now Already one of the best on ball defenders in the league. Agree he's a consistent deep shot away from being a superstar. Can be an All Star even without one.
