1-Why would LA panic after one game?
2-They get respect for last night. Giannis is looking much better then last year, but its one game

1 - They have no defense.
2 - They are NBA champs and no one gives them a chance.

Lots of people picked them to repeat first of all, but its understandable that others did not give them a chance.. They had an easy path to finals last year, which is not their fault but still true. They beat the Nets without Kyrie and with a hobbled Harden, Trae Young missed a bunch of time in the Conf Finals and They did not need to go through the one seed. Also They beat Phoenix who most people arent giving them much of a chance to get back to the Finals as well.

You asked why they are not getting respect and I explained why. The Giannis you saw last night was not the same Giannis of last year.

You gave a list of how the championship was a fluke. Not going to rehash that.

No need to rehash, but that is the reason why most are not respecting them

Pippen rips into MJ. Remember this is coming from the guy who refused to play because he was not getting the last shot.

He’s just trying to sell copies of his book.

BTW If you watch NBA games recently they are not calling ticky tack fouls anymore. The game goes by quicker and is more enjoyable to watch

Bulls and Hawks just swapped places. Can't have more than one winner in Chicago.

Best decision they've made in a looong time. Too bad they added these challenges which really stall games...

only one challenge a game its not so bad, and they got rid of the automatic reviews, within 2 minutes left of every out of bounds call with every player twirling their fingers

There are no more automatic reviews in last 2 minutes? That would be great, really made the end of games unwatchable

mochjas · « **Reply #5717 on:** November 03, 2021, 11:31:14 AM »

Correct. The only way to get a review is with the challenge and you get 1 per team per game
