Life long Lakers fan here but I'm fed up with Lebron and the whole team and the way they traded away youth and went completely old. No future assets (no good young players and no good draft picks). I'm cheering for Luka Doncic and the Mavericks these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gepetto 985 Posted October 21, 2022 Luka is way past Carmelo in terms of skills and playing game winning basketball. He's top 5 probably in the NBA already. Doncic is (or Giannis is) or will soon be the face of the NBA unless Zion or Ja surpass him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,171 Posted October 21, 2022 It's crazy how much I don't care about the NBA anymore. 2019, even 2020 before the bubble, I was very into it. Maybe all the woke finally got to me. Loved hearing all the pre game plea for Birttney Griner . I still watch because.. sports.. basketball etc. I also think the full blown players running the show, crying about where and who they are playing with or who they want to play with has taken its toll. It's too much to bother keeping trakc of which players went where Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edjr 5,564 Posted November 17, 2022 If there is any league that has ever proven a coach doesn't matter it is the NBA. 100% player driven league. Doesn't matter who the Celtics have as coach. If they want to win, they try hard. Bill Fitch? KC Jones? Sock Rivers? C'mon man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C'mon man I think it only matter now when they need an excuse for losing and I do think players can be tired of a “coach” and stop trying. But just about any replacement will get them playing again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gepetto 985 Posted December 3, 2022 Dallas Mavericks should have kept Porzingis and Jalen Brunson. They would have 1 superstar (Doncic) and two more all-star level players (or very very close to it). This roster sucks, and I hate what they've done in their failure to surround Doncic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
