BOX SCORE

Lakers starters played until halfway in the 3rd quarter. No Booker, no Beal, and Durant only played in the first half. Lakers bench was atrocious. Cam Reddish, Christian Wood, and Rui Hachimura combined for 7 points. Collectively they were a -93.

      We want multiple superteams. One team beating on all the others a la KD Warriors isnt fun.

        Imagine instead of Kevin Love or on top of it the Cavs had Jimmy Butler to go with Bron and Kyrie

        Instant classic

        Actually I kinda prefer an old school Spurs like team to face off against the super team like those spurs Heat Finals. One team with superstar free agents teaming up, and one team with chemistry and good fit and continuity playing unselfish basketball.

          I understand the sentiment against teaming up, but Tim Duncan was a Doc Rivers decision away from teaming up in Orlando and then was fortunate enough to pair up with Kawhi for his last runs. A lot of luck there. The reason super teams form in the first place is to beat the insanely well constructed teams like the Spurs and the Warriors.

          The Nuggets still exists too, but I’ll call them a superteam because Jamal is gonna get his all star nod soon

        We also move the needle a lot on what constitutes a super team. Cleveland had 3 perennial allstars on the same team but the KD warriors were just a league above them so they rarely get the super team stamp — in most other years a team with Bron/Kyrie/K Love is considered a super team
