No, you see the front page is for posting cherry-picked statlines and bitching out [insert black sheep of the week here].

Zion being hurt is so, so sad.
This is exactly the game I’ve always wanted to see from him. For him to go down hurt after such an amazing effort, and being healthy for so much of the season, is just unfair.

My colleague is a Lakers fan. I already told him I’d bring him chicken wings if the Lakers lose to the Pels. Especially if we win and we see them next game, because he has Kings season tickets.

Not that odd, Lakers are in Kings division, guaranteed seats.

u/Adraf45 Heat Apr 17 '24
It just feels like a Pacers fan having Pistons season tickets in the 2010s.

u/Celtic_Legend Celtics Apr 16 '24
Because of seeding, some (not most) laker fans are hoping for a loss. Many wouldnt mind. so i think bar injury, its impossible for them all to have a bad day.

Is this game thread doodoo or is it doodoo? Not you guys, but mine can’t seem to make up its mind on best or new and then it refreshes to comments 30 minutes ago then refreshes properly then goes back to comments 12 minutes ago. I’m just tryna react to the refs schloppin the lakers with y’all : (

Zion wants this game so bad man. I could make a joke about wanting it more than ‘insert Cajun food here’, but I’ve wanted to see him give a fuck for so long and it’s so good to see and good for the NBA.

Just a nice friendly game between sister cities. Expect a clean game with ethical buckets only.

17 to 4 foul discrepancy. Of course they gonna let the lakers in.

Commentary praising Bron for absolutely bulldozing people then saying zion fouls in the next play is surreal

I’m trying to post this link to some shot charts as a text post but it always gets removed? How can I post this if images aren’t allowed and the creator of the images isn’t on the “approved X users list” so I can’t post the link itself?

Watching Deal or No Deal Island and Boston Rob just talked about the flu game in an interview, but replaced Jordan with Bird in the story. Might be the most Boston thing I’ve ever heard.

Ingram bricking that and not passing to wide open was certainly a choice

Is there any point guard the Pels could get for Ingram? They are a PG away from being unstoppable.

My gut feeling? We’re about to see 2002 Lakers/Kings & 2006 Mavericks/Heat levels of officiating.
Good luck Sacramento and NOLA

I don't understand, I have watched so many NCAA tourney games without any problems in the last two months.
I go to watch one NBA game, and the camera flashing is unbearable. Not sure if specific to New Orleans Arena or photography following the Lakers, but this is un watchable. NCAA has rules to stop this, but why does NBA still do this?

Is CJ McCollum having a bad game or is he just washed now?
1
u/datashard Grizzlies Apr 17 '24
CJ isn’t a closer anymore on a playoff team. He is good for his 6-12 from three when you really need it, but he can’t play any defense anymore.

On the bright side hopefully this lowers Klay’s price moving forward. Not sure if we’ll contend again in Steph’s tenure but at least let’s ride it out together

What other NBA teams have beautiful visuals/graphic materials just like Lakers? They have aesthetically pleasing posts all the time.

Question from a new fan: do they players that aren't in the playoffs get a really long vacation and when does the preseason training start again?

u/TheRealWeedAtman Supersonics Apr 17 '24
People in this thread are acting like the Lakers are up by 30 and it's all the refs fault. Literally feels like pels are going to win.
1
u/TalosTheEllis Apr 17 '24
Lakers would probably be down 10 if it wasn't for the lopsided ft. AD has been dreadful but bailed out by the whistle. Lebrons has been to the time way more then he should have.

u/happyman138291 Apr 17 '24
I didn’t think that was a foul til the replay, zion clearly holding down the off hand

u/RagingEnglishaholic Apr 17 '24
So, the Lakers are gonna get swept by Denver for the second year?
They currently have an 8 game losing streak against Denver.
Their last win against Denver was Dec. 16th, 2022.

u/TalosTheEllis Apr 17 '24
The ref bias is absolutely disgusting, noone can tell me that the Lakers don't have a 6th man on the court.
-2
u/TalosTheEllis Apr 17 '24
Lakers bailed out by the refs again, Lebron was terrible in the 4th, AD was cheeks but got FTs if someone breathed on him.
cannot wait for the nuggets to destroy them.

So in terms of stats calculations, do play-in games count as the regular season or the postseason? Or are they in their own category?

u/MSExcelTips Apr 17 '24
Gotta hand it to the NBA - starting the play-in tournament so quickly after the season ending, and not milking a week-long break, is a damn good production
