Lonzo Ball might be a better three-point shooter than your favorite NBA player
Remember when we all made fun of Lonzo Ball’s shot?...
Joel Embiid, Immanuel Quickley, and other picks to guide your DFS slate
Gambling is a humbling-ass undertaking. Fred VanVleet was awful against the Orlando Magic two nights ago, finishing with nine points and five assists, shooting 4-for-12 in the process. Last night, also against the same Magic? No one saw 54 points, three steals, and three blocks (!!) on 17-of-23 shoo...
It's Now Or Never For LeBron And The Lakers
The day before the Lakers returned to action after the all-star break, LeBron James told reporters, “My playoff intensity level has been activated.” Let’s check in now on that playoff intensity level....
Pacers Fans Taunt Brandon Ingram With Ruthless "LeBron's Gonna Trade You" Chant
The Lakers are very sleepily facing the Indiana Pacers Tuesday night. Everything about this game feels dreary and perfunctory—the Lakers have already offered up half their roster in a trade for Anthony Davis, while the Pacers are playing out the string on a season that lost much of its promise once ...
The Young Lakers Are Fucking This Up
LeBron James went down with a groin injury way back on Christmas Day. You cannot build, even in theory, a cast of teammates and a basketball ecosystem that wouldn’t suffer in the immediate aftermath of losing a player of LeBron’s prominence, but the young Lakers, at least in theory, should’ve been r...
Luke Walton Is The Latest To Realize That Lonzo Ball And Brandon Ingram Haven't Been That Good
A few days after Lakers fans booed second-year point guard Lonzo Ball for his Shaq-esque free throw shooting, Lakers coach Luke Walton offered his own pointed critique of his young would-be star. L.A. got flattened by the Wolves in Minnesota last night, scoring only 86 points after spotting their op...
Brandon Ingram Electrifies Lakers Crowd With Uh Inbounds Defense, No Really
This should not be interpreted as proof that Brandon Ingram is Good now. He had a promising sophomore season; he’s got some defensive versatility; he’s a terror when pointed at the cup and on the move. These things will sort themselves out in the regular season. Certainly a preseason game against th...
Magic Johnson Says Brandon Ingram Is His Team's Only Untouchable Player
The Lakers are at a fascinating juncture. They are not quite good enough to compete for a playoff spot, but they’re also done bottoming out and their core of young players is relatively established. They have the second pick in the upcoming draft, and seeing as this will be the third straight year t...
Here's How The First Round Of The 2016 NBA Draft Shook Out
The 2016 NBA Draft proceeded in a calm, orderly fashion for most of the evening, with only one big trade coming down the pipeline, and the chaos that was promised this year (like the chaos that gets promised every year) mostly amounted to teams staring each other down then doing nothing (as they do ...
An Incomplete, Amateurish NBA Draft Preview
The NBA Draft is Thursday, which feels way too soon given that a few Cavaliers are probably still drunk from post-Game 7 festivities. The best perk of a Finals going seven games is a short refractory period between the best actual basketball of the year and the best imaginary basketball of the year....
Brandon Ingram Dunks It Over And Through A Pair Of Defenders
Man, if you wanna stop your teammates from getting jammed on, maybe do more than just sort of put your hands up and chest at Brandon Ingram?...
