    He simply had Lebron and AD available to play together, for over 20 games straight. That hadn't happened since the bubble. It's mind boggling how simple it really is. The supporting cast can change, the coaching can change, but one thing remains constant. If Lebron James and Anthony Davis are reasonably healthy, and on the court together for at least 20 straight games or so, the Los Angeles Lakers are an elite team period. It's not about having one or the other on the court, it's having both, that duo elevates everyone around them.

    The jury is till out for Vincent as he is 33.9% for his career... I get your point though.

    Yeah seriously, what a stoopid thing to say publicly and even stoopider if Hambone means it. Reaves and DLO are capable of lighting it up, like they've hoped for Beasley or any other hyped "shooter" they've brought in. Just taking them when smart with no hesitation is what AD should be doing.

    And I've been cracking on Zen for his signature. Stoopid ME.

    Sure. And we all get that. And you have defended Ham against those of us frustrated with taking so long to get Reaves into the starting lineup, choosing freaking midget past his prime Beverley until he got his a** shipped out.

    But seriously do you not think mandating or stating that he wants AD to shoot 6 3's a game, when LeBron (you know) is probably going to jack that many up TOO is pretty damn dumb .....when we have all the guys, especially Reaves plus like 4 others who are the real deep threats and what we've needed since he got here to open the floor up for AD to wreak havoc in closer?

    SMH at Ham’s desire for AD to Jack SIX threes a game. Next, he’s going to throw out different three guard lineups…
    Oh wait….
    Well, we don’t have enough wings to put out there…
    Uhhhhh, Nevermind.

    The last thing we need is a coach encouraging AD to settle for long jumpers .

    Davis will be on the perimeter with James and whoever. We'll use Vincent, Russell along with anyone 6-5 and shorter on the low post to create rebounds. The concept of the Inverted Offense. Brilliant!

    Lol..and Golden State just tripled down on going even smaller, by adding Chris Paul. It's going to be an interesting season.

    Ham should be kept away from the microphones. Surely he isn't that foolish but he just starts talking and likes to hear himself so much he can't stop spewing crap.

    You are looking at all that all wrong. He is probably even dumber away from the mic, he is hiding it in public.

    Imagine all the stupid crap he says in the locker room.

    He throws s*** and sees what sticks.

    I’m enjoying AD’s intensity even in preseason limited minutes. He’s going to bring it this year.

    Hopefully he’s focused on rebounds, defense, and blocks more than offense.

    I’m glad to see his jumper return.

    If we get this version of AD all year + good health...we're winning it all.

    At least he doesn't shoot the Pimple-prescribed 6 per game.

    Still falls down way too much over such little contact. I literally want to call him belittling emasculating names nearly every time. It’s ridiculous.
