Luca is just hating on 29 year old Ibaka

He is but I don't think I'll ever be a fan. He ghosted too much through his Toronto tenure, which is not specific to him but he was one of the least criticized players on the team. Given his status and salary, it was just unreal how no one talked about how she he's been but instead focused on Lowry, DeRozan, even JV, along with Casey while this cuck sat there making stupid money, doing nothing noteworthy

Ibaka looked very meek when I saw him last season. I actually remember him the best from the first game of the season, because the opener for Chicago and Toronto was against each other and Markkanen was guarding Ibaka. I thought to myself "I wonder if Ibaka is going to bully Markkanen with his experience and strength." But he did pretty much nothing. But in the game and a half I've seen Toronto this season, Ibaka has looked more motivated and fired up.

For now, he does. And I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and the respect he deserves through these games but he's let me down before, enough.

Can't wait until we finish as the 9th seed and win the lottery

Rondo went all out on CP3 in an interview today and called him a bad teammate

Big Baby Davis commented on instagram that CP3 is a very bad teammate

Sure they've lost the first three but they've been close games, and Houston and San Antonio are no chumps.

I wouldn't be worried if I'm a Lakers fan

I'm not sure "bad team mate " is what i'd call it, but i do think there's a lot of aspects to his leadership which is somewhat grating at best.

God our offence was trash tonight, at least we won so i probably shouldn't complain too much.

Saw probably the best game I'm going to see all season last night, Pistons vs 76ers. Griffin with a career high 50

Ignoring this for a second and focusing on the Clippers for a bit, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is going to be really good. Looks like he's been playing in the league for years, not a 20 year old rookie.

If people at the bottom of the West *bleep* up, i wouldn't be surprised if they get an 8th seed or something.

Best team in he league plays the the Timberwolves tonight. How much do we win by lads? 10? 20? Maybe even 30? Oof. What a time to be alive

We don't play tonight.

Correction: We're playing the Wizards.
And I can sense a 20-pt margin.
Klay finally to get going, showing Beale and Wall what a real shooter shoots like.

Warriors

You've lost one whole game, imagine comparing yourself to unbeaten elite teams like Detroit, Milwaukee, New Orleans, Toronto and Denver when you've already lost.

Raptors vs. Pelicans finals tbh

Worst ratings of all time

Ratings is overrated tbh, all about my personal joy tbh.

If NBA cared about ratings they'd make Lakers - Rockets happen in conference finals tbh

Don't know what match up in the East would be exiciting.

Also regarding Raptors. I still think Kawhi looks injured, or at least 80% healthy. Hope he gets back to 100% physically. He's got a perfect old man game now though. Love to watch it. Best old man game in the league.

What makes you say that ? I think his shot isn't as consistent right now but in general his game looks like it always has.

With Dunn now injured as well I just hope the Bulls front office & coach don't decide it's time to tank this season, too. Tanking's the single worst thing about the NBA. Even with Dunn and Markkanen we wouldn't be exactly a good team, now it's probably going to be painful few weeks ahead. Many Bulls fans seem to want Hoidberg out, but not a lot you can do with only one good scorer (Lavine) when the next best guys available to you can be expected to just about average 10ppg.

Raptors, Pelicans and Bucks are the best teams in the league so far. Undefeated don't lie

Denver and Detroit good too but not on the level of those three

Bulls don't have a good enough team to "decide to tank". They're tanking just by being them

I'm speaking purely physically. He looks a couple steps slower, and he also seems insecure in his legs, which is why I think his shot is more inconsistent.

But that's to be expected from someone with an injury like that. Just like Hayward looks different. Hell, Paul George never really came back, but luckily Kawhi is a much better player and he was never dependant on being a high flyer like that.

If anything him losing a step should result in gradually moving to become a 4 as the primary position.

I think Denver is better than Pelicans and Bucks. They're really good.

Well yeah, right now that's just the truth of it. When everyone's fit, there should a be a few worse teams (in the east).

Denver look good right now, but I don't like placing them above us until they prove it.

Until further notice we were one of the final 4 in the West last year and Denver didn't even make the playoffs. I was okay with LA in the summer because of LeBron but everyone else who didn't make the playoffs or went home in the first round ? Nah, it feels like they've been placed in a pedestal they haven't earned yet.
