Laker fans already in misery. ;D

Lakers forum in despair, a lot already trashing Ball, Ingram, Clarkson & esp Randle. Apparently the corpse of Luol Deng and guys like Brewer are way better than the youngsters so many people (even here in CB) hype.
Experienced vets will always look better in pre-season.  Even on the Celtics, Theis and Larkin looked really good while we saw shaky performances from Tatum and Yabusele.  Folks (even LAL fans) need to be patient.

Man, OKC is going to be a good team. So much mobility and length defensively with PG13, Roberson, and Adams.

nonsense.  Laker fans need to wallow in misery and panic as much as possible.

Nets looking better than the Knicks so far. Let's hope they'll be better than the Lakers too.

I know that they've shortened the preseason this year, but who the hell thought that it was a good idea to have the Raptors and Clippers square off at 1:00 am eastern standard time on Wednesday?  Like wat :P? Seriously, how does that help anyone at all, lol? :laugh:

The Clippers might be better this year if they can stay healthy. They are a deeper more well rounded team this year.

You're absolutely right, except for the part the game was played in Hawaii (7 pm local time) and both teams have been there for about a week. Just like all those Chinese league games happening at 7 am ET. Madness, complete madness.

Hawks is really terrible. They could end up really worse than the Nets right now.

Ben Simmons has been looking terrific out there. He has been the main playmaker for Philly. Both in transition and in the halfcourt. He is going to have a big impact as a rookie despite his flaws. He is a game-changing passer.

Redick and Covington look like great fits bombing away from 3 point land alongside the young stars (Simmons, Fultz and later Embiid). That group should have really good chemistry together.
