SAN FRANCISCO — Well playas…the NBA preseason has tipped off and you really can’t put too much stock into what you see from teams right now. Everybody is shuffling lineups around etc. Boyz are trying to figure out the rhythm of their teams and get their chemistry in tack. So it’ll be a about a month or so before we can really say who looks like what. Right? Wrong.
Like I’ve said all off-season, the Lakers will be the team to beat with LeBron and Anthony Davis healthy. After one quarter of play in San Francisco on Saturday night they, in my Denny Green voice, “Were who we thought they were.” Unstoppable!! They beat Golden State 123-101 to kick this thing into gear.
After one quarter of play they scored combined 37 points with them making it look so easy it’s scary. You can talk about all of the other duos in the league all you want but these two by far are the most talented and will be the most dominant.
Young Russ and The Beard down in Houston will be ready to kill each other by the All-Star break just like I told you Harden and CP3 would last year. At the end they were like cats and dogs slamming each other because there weren’t enough balls. Both Westbrook and Harden need the ball in their hands and there’s only one on the floor at a time. It’s not going to work bruh. Trust me on that.
And please don’t give me the “well they’ve played together already and they’ve been boyz since they were kids” line. No they didn’t play together. They were on the same team. Harden was coming off of the bench at the time and he wasn’t the superstar he is now.
That’s like saying that that Beyonce’ is going to be willing to share the mic with Kelly Rowland now because they were in the same group once before. Naw playa, Beyonce will ALLOW Kelly to travel with her now. It’s James Harden’s team not Young Russ’. That’s a problem from the jump.
Then I keep hearing boyz talking about Kawhi and Paul George like PG is really going to show up in the playoffs. C’mon playa…I covered Paul with the Pacers from the time he came into the league until he was traded to OKC and PG is known for disappearing on a boy come playoff time. Don’t even think about him showing up at the end of games, Forget about it. Stop it.
You’ve got the best all-around basketball player we’ve EVER seen playing with the best big in the league that is probably the best defending big in the game and you’re telling me there’s a duo better? Stop it! Put ya seatbelts on because it’s about to be fun to watch. Stop me when I start lyin’!
