I just read the news that Klay Thompson has started full practices with the team and the Golden State Warriors will have him in uniform playing games before Christmas. This team is going to be scary if he comes back anywhere close to where he was when he got injured. The thought they still have another starter in Wiseman that’s due back soon...

I'm happy with that news and hopeful that Thompson would not fail us, I understand the excitement because Warriors has a good season so far, they are the number 1 team now and with the addition of Thompson (which is a great shooter), and Wiseman, would make this team more dangerous.

Quote

and I’m starting to think the Warriors might have another shot at reigniting their dynasty.

I would definitely like to see that because GSW is a humble team, and Curry is also making his own legacy. Excited with this!

There might be no hope for the Lakers this season, they have played a good start against the Boston Celtics but couldn't hold on until the late quarters.
They are very poor both offensively and defensively. Majority of the Laker is negative in terms of +/-. AD, WB, and the big men were struggling from the start of the season.
The only notable and worthy of addition in the Lakers this season base on the current performance is Carmelo.

Most probably, the Lakers are aching to trade some of their pieces lol.

They need to strengthen their rotation, I guess. They have lots of superstars but they are not blending very well, or the chemistry is not evident. If they are going to trade, then I believe it will be Westbrook and it's been rumored online now that Westbrook will be traded for Kyrie Irving.

I would say that Kyrie would be even worse. Right now Kyrie is not playing as you can see, I do not know laws in Los Angeles and if he will be able to play and what not but the reality is that I rather have a playing Westbrook over not playing Kyrie as well. Secondly Kyrie and Lebron tried their best and even won a championship together but dude literally left a year later stating he wanted to have his "own team" basically, like Lebron did.

Kyrie doesn't have the talent he thinks he has and that is his biggest problem. I do not know what is going to happen with Lakers, and I do not know if they will trade for anyone but I am 100% sure that it won't be for Kyrie.

Houston Rockets added another on their losing streak and it is now their 14th loss. Some games are within reach, some are not.

Yeah, it looks like the Rockets management did absolutely nothing during the offseason. As far as I know, the Rockets lost 20 games in a row in the previous season, and it was the longest losing streak in the Rockets franchise history. So I won't be surprised if they set a new anti-record this season.

That is if Kyrie has decided to take his vaccine shot, apparently, rumors have spread that Kyrie refuses to take the vaccine shot because of his own beliefs and such more on about his personal reasons on why he refuses, therefore, if Kyrie refuses to take the vaccine and participate with the following guidelines, then the Kyrie-Russ trade isn't possible, do a little fact checking first because it may be rumored online but I really think that Kyrie would refuse to join back with LeBron because if we'll look back he moved to Boston for the same reason, but after that Boston trade, Kyrie's career went downhill, he made a comeback for the Nets but was pretty much inconsistent considering the injuries he went through, he had a depressive season last year missing out multiple games and currently missing more games this season because he refused to cooperate.

He is just not that type who really fell in love with the game. This is my just my assumption but I kind of think that he is just using basketball for money unlike other players like Kobe Bryant that loved the game with all of his heart. Training by himself early in the morning and doing the basics over and over again.

All he have to do is take the vaccine shot. I am sure there is no microchips in it unlike what he is claiming.
Those are all just rumors that went deep thru his head and he feels like it is real. History base, he had been unpredictable with his thoughts.
There is no way a trade for WB will happen, I doubt the Lakers would want a player like that.

Wizards on the other hand have kept their 2nd place in the East after winning against the Heat. If it goes the other way around Heat will be in the second with 12-5 standing.
The addition of Kuzma, KCP, Harrell, and Dinwiddie seems to work out for Bradley Beal. It saves him energy and spreads the floor to let him shoot more.

Houston rockets performance is getting worst every match and they just kept on losing game after game. Yes some of those were tough ones but some of those are thr matches that they should have won but they ended up on the loosing side.
Wizards are going well and they kept their winning momentum and are sitting comfortably in number 2 position.

I'm not familiar with the rules in LA, because, in New York, he is required to get vaccinated but if LA would allow then the trade could be possible. As long as the rules in New York will not change, Irving will remain out and he is not worried because he is willing to sacrifice his salary for his belief.

Yes, the Lakers' chemistry sucks until now.

I was thinking that when Lebron was back they'll play a better game, but it's very unfortunate that they just allow the Boston Celtics to dominate them. A 22 point loss is a big loss that showed how weak their team is now and as they keep losing, the frustration will just go high.

The next game of the Lakers is against the Pistons, I hope they'll win against a weaker team.

Yeah, the ex-Lakers are really doing good in Wizards, Kuzma's 3 really put a separation against the Miami and the win for them.

Wizards is still underrated team today, last year they had a big surge after the all star break. But this time, they are not waiting and not putting any chances. They've started very hot and hopefully they can get into the playoffs again.

And who will be the one to be traded at this point?

It will really a struggle for the Lakers specially with this kind of firepower or experience It's like an all Star game for coach Vogel, you really don't know who to put in the game and you have to shuffle every one of them to have a minutes in the floor.

I guess it boils down to the coach himself, we've seen the Lakers and so far there hasn't been adjustment. They keep on the same first five and players to close out the games.

They have a good chance against weaker teams like Pistons, but still it will be a tough game for them as they keep on struggling.
Maybe if they can keep like 2-5 winning streak, then maybe chemistry is there. But if they are inconsistent even if Bron is back in the line up, the Lakers will have a hard time in the West and really this might be the same 2012-2013 Lakers. Good in paper and have the talent, but there's no blending and chemistry.

I'm am a Lakers fan but watching how they played their games nowadays looks like I will temporarily change my teams to Bulls and Brooklyn. But the best fight to look forward to is the Suns and GSW the two best teams in the west. But they won't have any game until the first day of next month. nevertheless, it would be the best game ever and a preview of a possible match-up in the western conference finals. So as the 2nd game of Bulls and Brooklyn on Dec 5.

I wasn't expecting the Clippers to lose to the Pelicans. Competition for the playoff spot couldn't be more tougher but perhaps it's fine to rest PG for a game or two. He's been playing crazy good and a freak of an athlete but the guy is still not exempted from wear and tear.

Nothing too exciting going on in the NBA today. The Jazz should slap the Kings around, that's about all I see on the schedule. Probably not worth betting on that outcome either since they're such heavy favorites.

They are -8 on the road, and this is their first road game after winning 3 out of 5 games at home.
I don't know but I think I have e feeling that the Kings will win here because Jazz are just too inconsistent lately.

Quote from: OgNasty on November 20, 2021, 03:40:35 PM

The big news in the NBA at the moment appears to be LeBron James and his ever worsening views on American justice. Not to mention Enes Kantor has been slamming him all week and just spoiled his return to the Lakers... Been a rough week for the King.

I'm more concerned about his team that are still struggling to figure out their chemistry until now, they are not competing well against playoff teams, so you can tell the problem is really serious, a super team that is doomed to fail in the making, most likely.

LeBron is having a great game but the Lakers are getting destroyed in the paint. They’re being outscored 2 to 1 in the key and outrebounded by 10. All this and Dwight Howard had as many rebounds as anyone with only 1/4 of the minutes played… This is painful to watch. I think Vogel’s days are numbered. He might not be coaching the Lakers in the playoffs if he can’t figure out how to take this roster to a better than 500 record.

Honestly Lakers needs to do something about their situation or they are going to be humiliated again during playoff time. I get that it takes time for a team to build chemistry and learn how to play together, and I get that they have a lot of old players who are trying to learn their ways and its harder for them to change their style to fit the systems mold but this is getting horrible.

Now, they are under .500 and that is a horrible look for them, this team was built to dominate the league in mind and right now let alone dominating they are not even looking good, they are below average at the very best case. This needs to change for them to actually do what they were expected to do.

If they can't figure out how to build chemistry on the current roster, maybe the best decision is to trade Westbrook as he wasn't really the Westbrook that we saw in OKC, Rockets, and Wizards. There's a big problem with Westbrook is playing with many superstars, he can't blend well as he used to carry his team on his shoulders.
