J-ALL-DAY Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Can't even be mad at that loss. Booker made some great plays down the stretch and his shooters made their shots....While we missed ours for the most part. CP3 did a good job bringing the team back but Kuminga has to play without fouling. He should be getting 25-28 minutes a game. Only guy on the team that truly brings a different level of athleticism...Wiggins is a good athlete but Kuminga is something this team has not had. Good to see Moody giving good minutes. Booker is picking up from where he left off at in the playoffs. Top 5 player conversation at the end of the season. Nuggets are a machine and will be very difficult to beat once again. Interested in seeing how long the experiment of giving LeBron only 28-30 minutes lasts. It should be like that until the playoffs and the team is deep enough and good enough for him to play lesser minutes this season. Reaves/DLO need to play better though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsoxsuck05 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I hope the Magic give Jalen Suggs a chance to succeed. Like at least afford him 5% of the infinite patience given to Fultz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsoxsuck05 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 The rumored Knick package for Embiid is a total abomination. Getting to dump Randle and Barrett, plus Mitch, and a couple crappy protected picks? That would be a dream come true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile Suggs has been around for 2 whole years, improved quite a bit in his second, and people are already quitting on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRaider Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 It's still hilarious to me that the Lakers were a play in team last year, added Vincent/Wood, and now they're expected to be elite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That team is going to be buns again. Lebron isn't who he used to be, AD looks disinterested in being the #1 guy (shocking). Wood is a losing player, always has been. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nuggets are a machine so don't want to make too broad of a claim, but the non-Lebron lakers didn't inspire a lot of confidence It felt like Kuminga was going to play those minutes without the 3 quick fouls. I am interested in the role for CP3 and Kuminga when Draymond comes back and how the spacing looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeBron is 55, AD is made of glass, Reaves is the most overrated player in NBA history, and the rest of their roster is doo doo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seminoles1 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 The Lakers will finish like 46-36 at best. The team is deep because they have a lot of average players. That's not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this team has good depth and should not fall apart when LeBron goes to the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not good. I think 36-40 wins is more realistic, especially if they're load managing Le55YearOld all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
