utah-lakers, suns-warriors would’ve been more interesting series than what we’re gonna end up getting

why nobody wants to pay andre drummond $20m per year exhibit a

Anthony Davis shot 9-13 from the field when at center tonight and went 1-11 when either Andre Drummond or Montrezl Harrell was on the floor with him. https://t.co/NXd76UQ0Pq

Not sure how a coach as good as Vogel supposedly is didn’t know that going jnto the game

That line up worked better with JaVale last year in spurts so I feel like they are trying to force it still

in fairness to vogel brow just looked bad for most of the game and some of that shooting after they went small was prob just regression to the mean. but he did have a number of uncontested shots in the second half that came bcuz draymond wasn’t able to be near the basket. also in fairness to vogel some
of those were breaks off turnovers

Space Jam gave him the bug

space james

my son called him James Josh the other day which was hilarious

my 9-y-o’s analysis of golden state

- they need klay back because he’s the only one who can do fast breaks

- when steph gets double-teamed he should kick it to oubre. oubre should NOT shoot but instead get it back to steph who should then “do his magic”

- they need another good “pure shooter”

Tracer's kids otm as usual. They were not fooled by Kent Bazemore and Jordan Poole's attempts to pass as pure shooters

dubs def couldve used klay but the rest of the team is still pretty rough, good defense tho, if bron and ad stay hobbled the suns can take em

Yeah, I think given how the lakers looked the suns have a decent chance. Got ourselves a banana boat playoff showdown

if youre having trouble moving around a bouncy team like the suns isnt really who you want to see

also chris paul will repeatedly punch or kick your injury

why do i feel like lebron is going to look about 5 years younger by the time the second round starts

thats why he must be removed in the first lol

lebron james losing to the phoenix suns in the first round of the playoffs..... it’s not gonna happen

ill have to check the records but im pretty sure lebron has lost before

he's never lost in the first round though he has missed the offs entirely so that puts it in his range imo

hes never lost in the first round but hes had high seeds and now he has a low seed so hes playing a team that he would have faced in the later rounds if he had a high seed

also he seems pretty injured, just barely beat the warriors, who are not good

lakers defense is so good. theyll be in every game just cos of that alone. keeping curry to less than 10 3pa is a massive feet in and of itself. they stifled the curry dray pnr as well as anyone ive seen.

i mostly feel bad for cp3, the worst possible outcome for his personal legacy

lakers defense is def very good but some of the guys they want to play drummond schroder are not that good, wonder what their lineups will end up looking like, wes mathews has ridiculous on off numbers since the all star break fwiw, lotta dicey guys in there tho, just feel like if bron and ad arent near 100% then the whole concept of that team kinda crumbles, that seems obvious i mean

part of the reason the lakers looked bad yesterday is bcuz draymond was putting on a show on defense. the suns have no one on their frontline who is even half the defender dray is

dray was great but bron and ad obviously werent moving well out there

bron will def do some gutty stuff ad is always at risk of disappearing in the best of times

also it must be asked "what is the lakers offense" theres basically zero playmaking outside bron

dray was great

on defense

also it must be asked "what is the lakers offense" theres basically zero playmaking outside bron

warriors wouldve won that game if they hadnt turned the ball over every possession of the second half, not only prevented them from scoring it really gave the lakers offense life

notable yet not surprising that the lakers acquired 3 centers and a pricey guard since the end of last season, none of whom played when it mattered last night.

dray 2pts 6tos

Drummond was hilariously bad. They really can't play Gasol at all? Why do they hate him so much.

yeah cld see playing ad at center and then drummond as his back up cause he can put the ball in the ring and they need that but the ad-drummond front court just doesnt make any sense

if they make a deep run i bet gasol will be getting more burn than drummond by that point

yeah you gotta think theyll at least give him a shot at some point

schroeder was bad but thats like his 2nd game back from a couple of weeks off and snitching on bron being antivax

plus good timing on these reports:
https://heavy.com/sports/los-angeles-lakers/rumors-dennis-schroder-knicks-unhappy-in-la/

lol if he extorts the lakers via the knicks all you can do it tip your cap

gotta love the confidence

the knicks are gonna do something really idiotic this summer

otm, we need to get back to living

absolutely they are haha. pretty much like 70% of their roster are free agents. but theyll have to pay randle next year

who are the biggest free agents this year they can ruin their team with
