Pelinks deserves GM of the year. To turn the roster Lebron and AD saddled him with after their stupid Westbrook push into this roster with a series of trades...he didn't just dump Westbrook. He turned Nunn into this guy. Just...how did he do this? How did the roster we had in December turn into this almost perfectly balanced roster? Pelinka has shown he's a top notch GM. When he's not having to deal with outside interference (Magic, Lebron, AD), he puts together great teams.
If he hasn't earned the right to direct the moves for this FO, THEN I will concede that the team needs to be sold. And all the rest of you fans still b****ing about Pelinka, just shut up, you are freaking stupid.
Did Rui get into LeBron’s roid Stache before the game?? He went from barely caring at all on D, to instantly becoming our second best defensive presence! Wow, so glad to see him FORCE Hambone into giving him more burn.
Did you intentionally use the version of stache that refers to the ridiculous looking carepillars some people grow in their lips? Cause it's much funnier that way.
Got a little sloppy at the start of the 4th, outside of that another nice game. Looking really good out there in Bron lineups.
Oh DEFINITELY Handy. He compared him somewhat ("reminded him of") to Kawhi Leonard whom he worked with in Toronto .... Rui's first week here! Bodes "terrific" for his Lakers future and continuing to work with the GREAT Phil Handy.
Solid 11 & 5. Like that Ham gave him more minutes than Vando. If there's not a wing for Vando to check, this should be the plan.
yeah, also if the team has checked out on d like last night, vando's efforts go to waste. i like the starters minus vando + rui in that situation. ham ran it a bit at the end, but then brought brown back in, which also worked.
Imagine if more players actually practiced and got good at the mid range game? Call me ancient, but watching guys Jack up three after three after three just isn’t fun to watch.
at his size, that big fadeaway is tough to defend. guessing handy's been in his ear about making that automatic and using it to get some serious paydays.
