Re: 10/23 - 10/29 Games Discussion Thread
So looking at the Lakers from a numbers standpoint so far, looks like two of their biggest weaknesses are defending the 3 and fouling. Offense isn't that bad despite all the missed 3's early, if they were converting those at even the league average (which I think they will in time) they'll actually have one of the better offenses in the league. Good assist rate, low turnovers for their pace so they get lots of shot opportunities, they have good shooting numbers even factoring in the poor outside shooting.
They give up a ton of threes and on a good percentage, so as of now they need to get into shooters better and they really need to stop fouling. Decent on defending the 2, decent at forcing turnovers, decent on the glass defensively but also give up a good among of long boards too.. They should improve on the glass IMO but it really hurts them when McGee sits.. LeBron is their best rebounder due to minutes played, and they have strong guard rebounding, but Ingram and Kuzma need to get close to that 7 rebound mark if they are going to continue without a backup big.
Big bright spot is they convert nearly 60% as a team on all two pointers, to go along with the low turnovers and good passing. Protect the rim at a decent rate, force a good amount of turnovers.. Looks like guarding the 3 better, hitting the 3 a bit better, fouling a bit less would go a long ways for them. Just hitting around the league average in those spots and they would be doing well.
For a first time playing together group they've had 3 winnable games against playoff level teams, as much as the takes are going to point out how bad they are right now a few small improvements likely go a long ways.Comment

Just....nah.
Did Jalen and Screaming A ever squash their beef from a few years? Remember when Jalen called out Skip for lying about his Basketball playing days and Smith came flying thru with that cape, lolLast edited by ProfessaPackMan; 10-23-2018, 02:25 PM.#RespectTheCultureComment

First week is completed and the Toronto Raptors have booked their ticket to the NBA Finals after a historic 4-0 start.
The Spurs on the other hand might be doomed for the lottery. Sorry 24 [emoji1741]*[emoji3603]
Cavs have the same amount of wins as the Lakers and Tyronn Lue is enjoying his tea as well.
Also, OJ hates Derrick Rose in case you didn’t know that for the 1,473,474th time.
Any other takes that I missed?
You forgot to mention Mike Budenholzer’s case for being the first coach to win MVP

Griffin clearly remembers that Tatum, Simmons and Mitchell were given higher OVR ratings than him by 2K.Comment

Blake Griffin has 47 points, 14 rebounds, and 6 assists at the moment. The NBA is weird right now.
He always does. Drummond mentally can't handle him. Brain explodes when challenged, doesn't know how to react beyond forcing awful shots and committing terrible fouls. Usually a mentality you grow out of by age 16.
Edit: I should mention that Drummond can't handle Embiid from a skill perspective either, which only exacerbates the mental issue.Last edited by VDusen04; 10-23-2018, 08:52 PM.Comment
