    “Marginal arm contact during a shot attempt” Um, are you allowed any without it being a foul?

    i know; it's totally insane. "marginal" isn't a term that means anything here. there was (apparently deliberate, imo) contact on the arm that interfered with a shot attempt. that's textbook. they're amending the textbook.

    Dude is having his best run as a Laker. After that awful Charlotte game he's seems to have gotten his head straight

    who cares

    the team is sub .500

    Even with a trade, we'd be lucky to finish top 8. This crew is going nowhere with 3 future HOF'ers. Completely embarrassing. Unwatchable.

    Actually the last three games have been very watchable down to the last possession.

    If the refs make the correct calls at the end of those games, we’d literally be .500 and tied for the 7th seed

    We've been stumbling and bumbling down the stretch in a lot of games, but this team is definitely not boring.

    I’ll have to trust you on that. For now, I’m content occasionally box score watching and catching occasional highlights. Can’t see this team going anywhere this year, and half the team or more won’t be here next year. I find it impossible to engage unfortunately.

    not necessarily.

    lebron/AD/reaves/christie/gabriel are all likely to be here. and i actually think there's a decent chance russ, walker, and bryant might be, too.

    This is with Reaves, AD, and Walker out. Arguably your best player (MVP type) and 3 to 4th best player (best roleplayer for sure) and your most athletic guard.
    This is why I'm willing to make a move to go for it: this team is going toe to toe with teams expected to make deep playoff push and they are going to significantly improve just with luck with health

    Agree 100%. The issue for me is that I think we urgently need to add help not wait around for the deadline. That’s three weeks or so and quite honestly might be too late with AR, Walker and AD injuries being unclear. We’ve got a rough schedule coming up between now and then. If we don’t make a move we risk falling too far behind. It’s taking Lebron scoring 35 plus just to compete let alone win. That’s why I’m pushing for the Bogdanovic trade.

    That’s a you problem. You haven’t been able to engage since Lebron arrived.

    But this team is great. We fight in every game and have pride. The results haven’t been there but I can’t fault the effort.
