    I get why they have so many, but damn...they can’t score, and they can’t defend...they are not fun to watch and haven’t been for years

    How many times are they on national TV and end up getting blown off the floor? Enough already with these bums.

    Meanwhile, D'Angelo Russell drops 30 for the Nets. He was a #2 pick, too.

    cause that draft was extremely weak. he doesn't go #2 in other drafts. still top 10 in most drafts though. i'd be far from writing him off though IMO. the kid is 20...

    i know it's fun, but we gotta stop with the hot takes after game 1 lol

    **** lakers fans tho

    and he would get destroyed by the Laker fanbase constantly

    Ingram? He had a horrible rookie season and it gets glossed over...he’s untouchable

    I don’t think he’s had 1 standout performance yet

    tonight he has 12 points on 3-15 shooting

    I remember some people in the media and some draft analysts trying to act like he should go first overall ahead of Simmons lmao

    Who will go down as the greater Laker, Lonzo Ball or Nick Van Exel?

    It beings great joy to me knowing that Lakers fans will have to enjoy this trash team for the rest of the season.

    I was kinda hoping we could steal Russell from the lakers. Yes I would have given up Eric gordon

    Man, I miss Beverly. It's just so weird seeing him do his thing in another uniform.

    Damn

    this isn’t a hot take...I have yet to see what’s so great about him...he has some tools, but I don’t see “star” like was being claimed by a lot of people when he was drafted

    some scouts were claiming that he should go ahead of Simmons in that draft, and he was getting KD comparisons

    Montrezl and Dekker were 2 rotation guys on the Rockets and they get no time on the Clippers. Smh. That's how good Harden makes players.

    Clippers have Austin Rivers and it is very hard for any player to take his minutes.

    Lebron would be fighting for minutes on that team.

    KD comparison was lazy because they have similar builds but Ingram was never the same type of scorer KD was coming out of college. Anyone who said he should've gone over Simmons was probably trying to go contrarian or were on the Duke hype train.

    the hot take is just in regards to writing off a 20 year old one year and one game into his career. and it was meant as a comment in general, not specifically to just what you said.

    plenty wrote DLo off too btw but look at his debut in Brooklyn

    I'm ready for the media to hype 29 pts on 23 shots and 12 rebs for Blake.

    People really think Lebron want to play with that? Really?
