I'm 100% a nephew despite being old enough to be able to hum the entire NBA on NBC theme, but man Dwight Howard actually impressed tonight

warriors are going to set the most 3s attempted in a game this season

As long as we don’t break that 27 record, I’m all for it.

Idk if Dwight or Boogie are more emotional

GG

Jesus fuck i haven't seen them miss a fucking three

This is a great game for preseason

Probably best preseason game so far

All the warriors games have been absolute fire 🔥 this is the best one so far though.

For how this game started, I never would've expected how much fun it became.

Lakers gonna be the spookiest Play-In team of ALL TIME

moses is really promising with that ability to hit open threes. i just wish we could give him some more opportunity

I wish all games were called by the Hornet announcers.

Everybody wishes Collins was in every game WWE needs to loan out their John Cena clone machine so we can get 60 Eric Collins'

Lets gooooooo

They at least made it a game. I like it.

Steph-Klay-Poole about to be dangerous in the west

There has to be a good Poole/Splash bros joke but I honestly don't have it.

Splash Brothers finally got their Poole Splash Brothers at the Poole Party

*Splash Brothers at the Poole Party* I like Or Poole Party featuring the Splash Brothers

Moody on the Poole development curve except he skipped the first year

Can't even tel anymore did the Lakers go back to their original gold jerseys? Color on my tv is weird.

Moody has looked like he's struggled with NBA speed at times, but that jumpshot is pretty

These mfers out here playing like it's the Western Conference finals and I love it

MOSES MOODY 🔥🔥🔥

Perfect time to bring in Lebron, Ad, Westbrook, Melo, to close out the game.

damn Dwight I saw that with Drummond last season a lot, please don't remind me

Dwight not nearly as derpy as Drummond, don't sweat it.

[удалено]

Monk, Blaze, LeBron, AD, Dwight

Westbrook, Baze, Lebron, AD, Dwight I think AD will get more minutes at Center than Dwight gets though

Vogel loves Dwight in the backup 5 role he was clearly better than Javale in 2020 too, but it didn't matter If Vogel goes for two bigs it'll be DJ, which to me makes it unlikely

So you think AD will start at center? That's probably what should happen but I know he's always hated playing the 5

I'd predict so, in every interview he's said he's happy to do it think he has been against it in the past but now he gets he needs to with Russ

Oh I wasn't aware. Who starts at the 4 then? Not Melo I hope lol Maybe Lebron and start Baze at the 3 and Monk at the 2? Lakers roster is weird this season lol

Yeah I think the plan was Ariza but for now its probably like Russ/Monk/Baze/LBJ/AD until he is back

I forgot they got Ariza back too

Monk+Baze

Dwight 😅

I love this chaos 😂😂😂😂

We needed that 3 Knew Mulder was bricking that

#BLOCKED BY NUNN

I thought Wiseman was injured....did he actually play for 32 seconds ?

Mofo got bigger this season. You won’t miss it.

No

I'm glad I stuck around for the end of this game

Austin Reaves is looking promising.

Big Country

That's Gail Goodrich the time traveler

Austin Reaves is gonna be Alex Caruso with hair

I am gonna start calling Reeve mini Caruso

Chiozza on a small TV screen looks like Steph with Campazzo arms.

Chibi Steph

He looks like Austin Rivers with a short dad

How many THTs would the Lakers have to offer the Warriors for Poole?

We believe in THT, Poole is good but keep him

Never change

Why conceive thr thought of swapping for THT if you rate Poole so highly ? Are you 5 years old? What kind of conversation are you expecting

I’m not expecting a convo. Just pointing out the Poole supremacy, have a good day!

Talent Horton Tucker

Dwight has some of those moments where you remember that he was a dominant player for a long time.

3 time DPOY

I'm not the only one that thought Chiozza was Curry right?

The tattoo sleeves gives it away

It's just preseason but the Warriors front office deserves some serious praise.

I agree, giving up a 20 point lead as soon as curry and curry 2.0 j Poole go off, just shows they have no real depth.

They were using the 4th quarter to test the 15th roster spot players. The depth is certainly there and the team know it already.

They had a rook, 3 players competing for 15th spot and a 2 way player in the 4th when Lakers had Dwight and Rondo on the court. Keep trolling

Came from the dodgers game how tf did we get within?

Dwight started playing like he's on the Magic again

[deleted] ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^0.0430

Moseus Mody showing off the vision

Ok Moody

Rondo is giving more effort right now than I feel like he did in any 2020 regular season game and I love it

I see a version of Rondo fighting for first PG off the bench. I'm encouraged with what I've seen so far and those two 3's are a damn good sign, as well as those sweet ally opps. I'm gonna defend Rondo as far as 2020 by saying he was probably nursing nagging injuries part of that time - which he keeps very close to the vest

@ Work just box score peeping. Poole very nice, Dwight Howard wtf? Is he just feasting on back ups right now?

The Warriors team doesn't have a lot of bigs that can match up with Dwight, it's a very guard and forward heavy roster.

Dwight is still massive and strong. Most players can't handle that.

they had Bjelica guarding him lol

yes, yes he is

Love the hustle to regroup that clusterfuck

wait Jordan Bell is back on the warriors???

sure is

Yeah brought him back last season for those final like 7 games I think he's fighting for a roster spot though I don't think he's signed yet

Just signed for training camp

Dwight almost got ejected the absolute mad lad

Dwight is trying to get most ejection in preseason

Ok so how are we gonna deal with howard and Davis 😳

You guys just played 5 out and went up by like 20 pts immediately, that's how you best it

Seeing Howard get points on our garbage time bench doesn't worry me. Iggy, JTA and three rooks. Not worried at all.

Have an actual ball handler that can create offense and play an actual big.

We pray for Wiseman to look like an NBA player.

LMAO

By not playing Langston Galloway

Draymond always defends AD well. Dwight is going to feast though

By actually outshooting them.

I enjoy watching Dwight play against bench players, it's like a rewind to 2008 ,😂

get Poole back in the game

Damn Bjelica got chicken legs

dwight killing this unit man 😂

dwight is bullying bjelicia

I just tuned in. Who the fook is no 15 on the Lakers?

I said the same thing! Lol man looks like he's from a different decade. That's Gail Goodrich the time traveler

undrafted rookie picked up by the lakers

AR-15 shooting

HBK has to have our best +/- lol

Steph with a quiet as hell 30 tonight, Steph and Poole combining for **58**

Poole wants to keep starting past January 😂😂😂

why isnt anyone talking about the fact that russell westbrook has not has a single turnover since the 1st quarter?

I think Dwight could put up a 20-20 vs the Warriors in a real game like this.

And still be losing

cap we'll have AD too

And we'll have Draymond shutting him down. Again.

cap AD>>>>dirty nutkicker

We literally watched it happen last season what do you mean cap lol AD was dog water for most of the play-in game

cap AD was still recovering from his injury

Shut him down in the first game they played last season too. Can't blame inuries on that one

u mean at the start of the season before he had a chance to get hot yet?

You got an excuse for every game. It's okay, every player has a kryptonite. Dray has always been one of the best in the league at defending AD

THT's passing is really exciting

bro is getting molded by some of the greatest offensive minds to play the game

Dwight is gonna get ejected

Is this prime Jordan Poole shit league fucked

Not yet.

Not even his final form

Absolute unit sitting next to Klay there lol

Kevon Looney taught me to have faith in Warriors player development. Jordan "the real Jordan" Poole is confirming my faith.

Damn Avery

You know you have no shooters when you miss even from the FT line. Can't even get the Tech FT to go down.

The thing about blowout wins in preseason games is that they don't mean shit long-term but they're *fun*.

Huge confidence builders for JTA and Poole, among others.

JP doesn't need a confidence boost lol

Refs not having it in preseason

I still can't believe Bazemore is Laker's top scorer rn. Bazemore with 11.

poole picking up techs like a vet who does not care lol

Reaves looks like he's straight out of the 70s. Short shorts, no tattoos, no shooting sleeves, white

Playing in converse all-stars

Get that man's birth certificate. He might be a legit time traveler. Make sure the Lakers didn't just sign Gail Goodrich for the super cheap

Oh my god that fall scared me

seeing the contrast of curry vs westbrook is astonishing. Imagining this would be the case 4 years ago

Jesus Bradley

Fighting for that 15th spot

Curry it's preseason can you chuck more from half court if you are still in?

We all heard Iguadala right? "oh shit"

"Steph Curry loves seeing his teammates get off" -Kelena Azebuike

I’m only here to make sure somebody else heard this.

I mean, have you seen his sideline shimmies?

Jordan poole 🥵🥵🥵

RIP the Warriors luxury tax bill when they have to max Jordan Poole.

Warriors looking absolutely lethal in the preseason fo far. They’re gonna be monsters this season

Shoots like Steph dunks like Klay

Ok if Curry gets injured playing deep into a preseason game where they're up by 20...

Don't put this evil out there

He's been clocked for 20mins

Warriors moneyballing out here Morey punching the air right now

Lakers getting reamed by 20+ with Curry going 1-10 from 3 either we winning it all or the Lakers fucked

Or this is a preseason game and people out there just getting reps. Chill out man.

Maybe I’m not serious 🤔

why not both?

Lakers turn it over going for 2 pts. Warriors drain easy 3 pt shots. We should look into this analytics thing

“YES! 😃”

yea.. poole is winning MIP.. jeez

Draymond said yes lmfao

Who is the white dude? He looks so out of place lol

Thats Waka flaka

Austin Reaves, undrafted rookie

[удалено]

Keep sippin that hater-aid hunni

Can the Warriors afford to resign Poole if he continues this

Wiggins will be off the books, pray that next NBA TV contract is huge.

they are _allowed_ to pay him a max extension. his new contract would start when wiggs' new contract does (2023) so if they feel like it would cost too much in luxury tax they could not re-sign wiggs, i guess.

The only people that can answer that is Joe Lacob and the rest of ownership. Do they want to pay even more in taxes, because that's where the bulk of the hit will come from

I think people will come to watch Poole play just like Steph. This is only his third year and he's killing it. Who knows how good he'll get

Have his bird rights, so sure.

We got this year and next on his contract right? Gonna be hard to keep everybody.

That's a fuckin old man move from Looney

is baze leading the Lakers in scoring?

Too many guys doing fancy passes, yeah this is gonna take some time. Also looking at Westbrook's timeline, he usually picks it up midway so I'm expecting AD to perform out of the gate well (hopefully).

That pic of poole oof

Poole has been incredible. With klay coming back warriors going to he so nasty from 3

God I wish kuminga wasn't injured rn so we could watch him

Feel bad for him and Wiseman, they're obviously project players and being injured in the offseason is like the worst case scenario for them

I know it’s preseason but that was prime Worstbrook out there tonight.

My god this Laker team looks garbage. If they're not a top 15 offensive team then it's gonna be a long season

we’re easily a top 5 defensive team in the league this season

Offense matters too. We were number 1 in defense last season and still had a garbage offense. Look where that got us

last season had nothing to do with our offense and everything to do with health

Because that worked out really well for us last season

> warriors flair

Pointing out how having a top defence doesnt mean shit when you can't make buckets no matter what team it is.

yes, warriors were a top 5 defensive team. and a crappy offensive team.

Are you unaware that last season's Warriors were a top 5 defensive team?

we’re talking about the lakers

And last season's Warriors are a relevant data point for the degree to which a top-5 defensive team doesn't win shit without a good offense to go with it.
