    Klay is one of the greats. Really good guy, happy that he's returning

    How about Akers the Rams running back tore his achilles last July and is now back ready to join the team and carry the ball again? But maybe that wasn’t a complete rupture … a partial tear only?

    In the 20 games since Lebron has been fully back he's posted:
    31.05 pts 7.5.reb 6.5 ast 1.7 stl 1.4 blk .368 on treys stats that should hold up vs anyone. The question is where the Lakers end up

    Well, Dubs will win another ship this year. No doubt in my mind.

    I actually really like Reddish and could be talked into this.

    I have a feeling that will be the deal the Pistons make.

    They are looking pretty unbeatable. When Klay gets his basketball legs back, it’s not even going to be fair. They will embarrass the Suns.

    I’d be good with that, as long as it’s not the Nets. Harden can’t win, just can’t have it.

    Dubs look great.

    I don't think there's anything we can do to compete with three top 3-4 teams.

    There would have to be a significant impact piece that we land.

    And Russ would just have to disappear or get traded.

    That’s the toughest part for me right now. Warriors and Suns look great but I’m honestly just not that wowed by anyone else. We could’ve been in the mix with better play and a better roster.

    Without Westbrook I think we could have been a top 3 seed even with this line up if healthy. LeBron is beasting it but obviously just being sabotaged by Russ’ bad play over and over again. We know for sure we can’t win anything with Russ around.

    warriors are also the best defensive team in the league

    it's pretty remarkable how good they are in every aspect of the game. they'll handle the suns with ease in the playoffs

    we may have to go back to what worked in 2019/2020 and become a deliberate defense first team

    That goes without saying.

    Irrespective when he comes back and how healthy we'll be, we will need another impact piece.

    Russ can't be depended upon to be a third option every night.

    He's too volatile.

    Rob will be active.

    Westbrook will prove everyone wrong and will be a Warrior killer. Can’t wait to see it and quote this post later.
