    I guess the output was vintage but the way he got there was definitely not. Lebron jack of all trades is probably going ot be in this DrayBron role most nights

    maybe the double digit streak finally being over took some stress off of him too

    I guess the rumours of his demise were greatly exaggerated.

    Thanks for the win Bron!

    After having two games to start the month where he looked terrible against the Suns and Raptors then to rebound like this. BIG TIME!

    He had bounce, pop, lift, and speed offensively that he hasn't been able to dial up previously this season. The shot was locked in. He was able to get down hill and freight train past their lineup.

    We needed this one after AR had nothing left in the legs.

    Maybe Kang isn't done just yet.

    I think he's going to need a lot of "rest". Pretty crazy when I see that he's out for "foot arthritis", though. Like geez. LOL.

    Rich Paul had some thoughts today (or whenever it was recorded)




    As constructed today, he's not wrong. Just odd to go on this kind interview right now.

    but they do it with a championship mindset, so. great job, i guess.

    So this is going to be a continuous podcast between the two. How long until Rich says something that gets him in a lot of trouble?

    Yeah. OKC is currently on pace to shatter the Warriors' record. You play now with the chance that SGA gets hurt.

    They won 68 games and had a huge net rating last year too, but still played two 7 game series in the playoffs. They'll probably beat both of those regular season metrics this year, but the teams at the top of the West are better than last year. They're an incredible team, but I don't think they're unbeatable. I think they've just mastered regular season basketball in this era with depth, athleticism, and two-way versatility.

    It’s a bad look. We all know this roster needs tweaking. It’s not his place to say publicly. Plus it hurts any potential trades the Lakers make. If you don’t wanna be in LA after this season, peace out.

    Rich Paul has no shame . Going along with the idea of Reaves coming off the bench so his client can put up big numbers again and get another huge extension .

    Yes they are 10-11 deep so they blow a lot of teams out and barely lose against bad to average teams whereas playoffs is all bout your top 6-7 guys.

    Not getting many reps in clutch games in the regular season isn't ideal too
