The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

Asking for a friend:

If your NBA team loses to a soccer club, is that a bad sign?
In a remotely meaningful game, yes.

I think NBA teams try to loose these types of games. Its mildly amusing to watch how into the game these types of teams get, and how casual NBA teams get, especially towards the end.
 
Kings starters got destroyed by Lakers who sat out Lebron, AD, Reaves, Vando and Reddish. Kings were only missing Keegan Murray and they lost Sabonis + Fox minutes by 12 despite Sabonis getting 16 boards and Fox scoring 18 points in those minutes.

They didn't look as good offensively as they did last year but looked as bad defensively. Their lack of paint defenders will hurt them this year. Lakers starting 5 Prince/Rui/Hayes/DLo/Vincent went for combined 17/23 inside the 3 point line and scored in the paint at will.
