4th quarters with this team is infuriating, i don't understand. They act like every 4th quarter is a world series game
36pts and 24reb for AD and the Pels gets 5 points from their bench and lose to the Nets. 5 bench points. Pels now alone in 2nd to last place in the west
its a joke dish the ball to the 3pt line and chuck pretend to play d and repeat no mid range game or plays from the block last nights game had some entertaining moments but ultimately the wheels came off i like javale mcgee a lot, pure hustle every play
I agree. The NBA is completely unwatchable. Pick and roll at the top and then... a) drive and flail your arms like you've been shot hoping for a foul call or b) kick to three point shooter that either shoots or launches himself into the nearest defender and flings the ball in the general direction of the basket hoping for a 3-shot foul.
Reminds me of all the strikeouts in MLB these days and how it's helping make baseball boring AF for the average sports fan. Or even more boring, I should say since baseball has been the snooze sport for average/casual sports fans for a little while now. Then they stack a boring offseason on top of it. They made a brief comeback during the steroid era, popularity wise, but somebody didn't get paid and they decided to shut it down, so now lesser human beings are swinging for the fences and monster paydays and hiding behind analytics. Lakers are going to make me stop watching if they don't start making these fuckin free throws. It's sad. They must know how weak they look. They have to. Fans have finally begun to boo the free throw misses. Definitely reminds me of the all the Dodgers' strikeouts. Young team, so you expect some hiccups, but this is ridiculous. It cannot just continue on and on and Luke needs to stop with the excuses. Step up to the line and make open shots already..LeBron too. Hell, especially LeBron. If Zo isn't going to man up and make free throws, he can't play late, and all the other things he does well - they won't be enough to save him from being a Pelican. You're not going to bang the table in trade discussions for a guy you can't trust to play when it matters most, not when AD is on the other end. Damn shame because the rest of Zo's game is pretty solid. Guy like Rondo that can shoot 60-ish% from the FT line is just ultimately going to benefit from Zo's nervousness at the free throw line
Yep... First the NBA referees are by far the worst in pro sports Second they cater to 'stahs' and routinely call non-existent fouls in favor of the LeBron/Harden's of the world Third said prima donnas like LeBron/Harden learn this and further ruin the game by charging defenders and wildly flailing about... thus gaining more shots and more fame and the vicious cycle tightens
Whoa. Warriors blowing 15-20 point leads at home + a Harden GW Draymond and Russ Westbrook have aged like 20 years over the last couple seasons
I don’t mean to do this every day but, Draymond’s been one of the best defenders in the league this season by every metric, also by every multi year metric, where do you get this stuff from lol
