Excited for tomorrow's game. GSW vs Lakers. Do you think players will play for 100%?

We cannot be sure of that, the warriors has not been playing well this Pre season so I guess they'll just not focus on this game.
It's still exciting as long as Lebron will play and we can all witness a little playing time for the stars, but we cannot consider this game as a basis on the possible regular season match up, it's gonna be different.

Looks like Kawhi and DeRozan are both enjoying the trade that had happened.
Seen some good plays on their pre season games and they are in good shape.

Rondo, Mcgee and Stephenson are also doing great plays.
But how about Stephenson who did not change his facial actions after one good play.
I just hope Lebron like this kind of actions from his team mates. Grin

Oh god dejounte murray will be out for this year because of his ACL injury during the preseason game.

Why can't the spurs ever catch a break, they had a all-defense member point guard who was great at passing out to teammates, defend really well and rebound incredibly while having a huge wingspan making team defense better while having rudy gay and lamarcus and pau gasol with him would create a full court wingspan between them...

Now he has to sit for the whole year and spurs fans have to hope that patty and lonnnie (maybe derrick white too) is enough for the whole season, between them there is not a single starter caliber player but its spurs lets hope they found a way.

It is always sad to see a player get injured for a whole season.

Another loss by the warriors, the suns which is a shitty team in the last season just beat them.
I cannot wait to for the regular season to start so I can confidently beat on the warriors regardless of the odds, I know they'll do better when wins
already counted.

Well there's a lot of technical fouls called in the game and Steve Kerr was mad and I say that they have lost their cool in the game. Its very strange for them to act like this but it seems they're really ready for this season that's why they take every game very seriously.

Just imagine Green and Cousins getting a lot of technical fouls, Lmao, so its really up to Kerr to control however, it looks like he led some bad example in the games against the Phoenix Suns.

Lol aines

. In all honesty there is still too much injury prone stuff in NBA, for example this year they made standing under a shooter a foul and I think Flagarant ? So that's gone, the game is focusing more on offense than defense and if its to stop injuries that's good but they have banned hand checking years ago and that was not any injury prone play at all yet it is more offensive now because of it.

No one really defends each other that well anymore, players like Kawhi would have been the norm just 20 years ago yet in today's game he is regarded as the best perimeter defender out there. Not sure if its a good or bad thing but makes hell of an all star game Cheesy

.

NBA needs to take care of its players, they need to make sure that the league won't lost a good player where fans are very delighted, it's no longer the time where the bad boys dominated and you need to have a guts like MJ to pursue your career, watching those old games from youtube we will be able to
determine how hard to become a superstar before than now where you just need to keep shooting the ball and have a better percentage to gain the fans admirations.

Of course avoiding injury is what players in mind. Their future lies in their health to be able to play in so many games. Unlike NBA 20 years ago, the play has evolved from a hype dunking to a three point shooting game. The score of a basket is not from the highlights but from the shots made, so players nowadays does not totally concerned about the highlights they can make but only how they can shoot the basket without acquiring any injuries.

Yea I miss those days were athleticism and hustling did make or brake a player

They are wiser now and they focus on money rather than their pride.
I like to see the old days, that's a real basketball for me and it's physical where mostly scores are close and that gives lots of excitement to the fans.
I think they'll have the evaluate again, fans like entertainment so much and they don't like lazy scoring to avoid injuries.

That hand check was taken out because their watchers are getting lower.
People are getting tired of the same game over and over again. The inside plays. From Duncan, Shaq and the big men until they retire the game.

Now they want to change the game and give opportunity to the outside plays and also to give viewers something new. So they took the hand check out. If I remember it very well, before the offensive player uses his arms too just so to give space for himself. MJ did this to Russell. But now, this is not needed. You are always free to make a shot. You just need to be an accurate shooter. Grin

I hate it when NBA players brawl.

This ain't no brawl Grin

. Just gently pushing each other. Days of real fights/brawls are long gone. Ain't no Charles Oakleys' no more, all there is left are fake tough guys, and let me use Jalen Roses' reference: "Ho ho hold me back" type of plays. lol

Quote from: cluit on October 08, 2018, 03:59:27 AM

what Aines did with holding JR's arm like that

That's an interesting way to spell Aron Baynes name. Cool

Actually, there's more to it...if you guys remember in 15' Olynyk dislocated Kevin Love's shoulder by locking his arm the same way. Celtics are probably still salty about what happened in May. hah

I hate it when NBA players brawl. I mean this is a contact sport and there are times when someone does something silly like what Aines did with holding JR's arm like that or just couple years ago when Zaza unintentionally (or maybe intentionally?) injured Kawhi and all the things in between but the response should never be fighting.

This is not UFC after all, Marcus smart is an idiot for trying to start a fight between him and JR. After the fight he was still not apologetic and said "he is not a punk, jr knows where he is" which is still horrible and shows us he did not learned his lesson. NBA players should be example to the kids that looks up to them.

That's part of the game, some enjoyed it and honestly, I enjoyed it sometimes because I think it will add excitement to the game.
As long as this brawl will not injure anyone, it's fun to watch but if it's too much then they have to face the strict sanctions by the NBA.

He won't be any better than an average player in the league imo

I can't say if he'll be a superstar in the league, but I'm pretty positive that he'll be more than an average player.

In today's positionless basketball, Luca can easily fill out different spots on floor 1 through 4, for his size he has a great ball handling.

Don't forget that he has experience playing v grown man over the past few years, any way you look at it, it's better than college basketball.

I have watched Doncic while he played in Euroleague and the dude was a beast as a young kid but I think there was narrative for him as well. For example if you check the finals game with Fenerbahce that he was a no show.

Now, this doesn't mean he is not an amazing player, he is an amazing player, however do not think he really deserved the Euroleague mvp but he was given that because he was young and a great player and was going to NBA afterwards. Now that I watched him against proper players like Fultz and Simmons I can see what he could be. He would probably be worse than Simmons but definitely better than Fultz. So he is going to be good, but maybe not superstar, just all-star level, which is still insane.

I understand its just preseason but seeing players like ingram giving their %100 is hyping me out. I mean we know lakers would have to get a drastic change in the direction get even close to the western conference let alone finals because they will have to face teams like okc, rockets, spurs and of course warriors just to get there but if they are lucky about the seeding they can definitely get to western semi finals and that is an amazing chance for the young players to develop on playoffs.

They had these young players for couple years now but failed to get to playoffs so with lebron and the new vets these kids will see playing time at the biggest stage of the game.

Maybe they are just practicing for the regular season on Oct. 17. I think they are putting their 100% in the preseason because the vets are watching them and it will determine who will play longer on the regular season.

Lakers will clinch into the playoffs no doubt about it. Its just the young players must practice more in order to cope up with the other veterans and good players of different teams.

Well, its better to start in a good shape.
The Lakers have already a spot reserved in the playoffs with Lebron on the team and additional vets like Rondo and Stephenson. Mcgee on the other hand, seems to be a perfect compliment for the team. He had good numbers in the pre season, I hope he continues to do so and dominate the board. Im just too excited how Lebron lead a team full of young promising talents.

They have good players in the life up, with Lebron, they will have to play harder and motivated.
Lebron is a guy who can play in the big stage and he can lead this young guns to play tougher and reach their goal to reach the Finals and even win it.
I like Lebron's humbleness as he accept that the warriors are still the team to beat.
