    he's just a consistently disinterested defender in addition to being slow. offensively, he's a good fit, but we became good again because we became a defensive team again. plumlee was the guy we needed to get. and bamba might have found his way without the injury, too. i wouldn't dismiss the possibility that we just bring him back and call that the center spot next year.

    Not sure what you mean by this? Non-DLo lineups have been really good, it seems like we should sit DLo more, maybe hold him to 20 min if he's not hitting shots, which would make the guard rotation look something like:

    DLo (20), Schroder (28)
    Reaves (38), Walker (10)

    Schroder and Walker could play even more if needed, or in the 3 guard lineups Ham uses too much, although I prefer to limit those as well.

    Heat vs Nuggets finals. Not the NBA dream scenario for them.

    i just think they'll ignore schroder and walker in ways that they still wouldn't dare with russell, despite his struggles. right now, they're at least devoting a defender to him.

    Got the Kardashians and other celebrities who don't know a thing about basketball who just want to be seen from a camera, get off your a**** and root root for the Lakers, make it a real home court for the home team

    Gotta give some props to the Miami Heat. Those guys are 10-3 in the playoffs as an 8th seed. That's an impressive feat.

    I like the Lakers, always will. But I believe Denver is the better team.

    season is a wrap, we overachieved and we look like a piece or two away from being a championship team.

    keep Reaves, Hachimura, Vando, maybe Schroder for the MLE

    resign and trade DLo, Beasley and Bamba

    and we'll be here again next season

    Better hope and pray we don’t have to play them in next year’s playoffs because they will sweep again. LeBron is too old slow and dumb, while Jokic is twice the player AD is. Even with an upgrade over DLo, this team has no chance.
